Federal and provincial funding has been announced to improve flood protection in the community of Landmark.

Landmark has been chosen as one of five communities in Manitoba to receive this joint investment from the Community Dikes Initiative through the Provincial-Territorial Base Fund.

Specifics of the project have not been announced, only that it will impact the dike along the east side of town, tying it into Provincial Road 210 East and Prairie Rose Road.

Up to $9.27 million will be jointly provided for the five communities. It is not clear how much of that will be coming to Landmark.
