The RM of Portage la Prairie council's changing its meeting schedules next year. Reeve Kam Blight says it's taking into consideration the months when some members have work schedules that conflict with some meetings.

"We're going to add one in April because we were only holding one meeting in the month of April. Now we're going to go to two again. But in July and August, we're looking at going just one per month instead of two. We'll see how that goes."

Blight explains vacation season makes it hard for some of the staff to attend the meetings, and those in the agricultural field are literally out in the field during the summer months.

He adds if issues arise requiring a special meeting, they'll certainly make accommodations to facilitate them.
