CUPE Applauds Investment into NorMan Regional Recreation Facilities
WINNIPEG, TREATY 1 – Manitoba’s largest labour union says the Wab Kinew government has made smart investments in Northern Manitoba’s recreation infrastructure.

“This will make a big difference in the lives of The Pas families,” says Clayton Paul, President of CUPE 745. “It’s important for youth in the North to have high-quality opportunities to have fun and relax.”
The government announced upgrades and renovations to Roy H. Johnston Arena and Kelsey Recreation Facilities (NorMan Regional Recreation Facilities), along with a plan to transform the former Lido Theatre into an arts, culture and learning centre.
“These investments are going to make The Pas safer, keeping kids off the street,” said Paul, “and give us all more options to get out and enjoy the community we choose to live in.”

CUPE 745 represents 50 municipal workers in the Town of The Pas and the Rural Municipality of Kelsey.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees is Canada’s largest union representing more than 800,000 members. In Manitoba, CUPE represents approximately 40,000 members working in health care facilities, personal care homes, home care, school divisions, municipal services, social services, disability support services, childcare centres, public utilities, libraries, and family emergency services.
