The Manitoba government is investing over $150 million for additional green initiatives to better protect the environment and support the goals and implementation of the Made-in-Manitoba Climate and Green Plan.
This package of over $150 million for new green initiatives is in addition to the province’s green investments already underway. It includes:
• over $103 million for the clean up and monitoring of contaminated orphan and abandoned mine sites throughout the province;
• $50 million to preserve wetlands through the GROW Trust;
• nearly $8 million to clean up contaminated sites, like abandoned gas stations; and
• $3-million contingency for recommendations regarding lead mitigation.
