The Prairie Watersheds Climate Program (PWCP) will provide up to $40 million in financial support, through OFCAF, to producers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan to accelerate their adoption and implementation of on-farm beneficial management practices (BMPs) to reduce GHG emissions, support production efficiency, sustainability, and resiliency on their farm operations. To assist producers with their adoption of new BMPs, the program will offer producers resources to support BMP implementation and provide BMP design recommendations.

A Snow Removal Waiver must be signed prior to a RM grader entering your property. Please call the office or CLICK Snow Removal Agreement, fill out and return the form by email or drop off at the office. For more information call 306-948-2422 or email rm347csr@remove-this.sasktel.net

Roads

Getting roads cleared and driveable is priority #1. Crews will begin clearing snow as soon as it is safe and practical to do so following a snow fall.

The RM clears all-weather roads, bus routes, and farm access roads. The crew aim to have all-weather roads completed in 2-3 days after a snow fall. Heavy, large snowfalls may take longer than 3 days to clear. They may also return to roads to remove more snow and clear farm access roads as needed.

Please be patient!
