Membership in the Seine - Rat River Conservation District begins next Spring for the R.M. of Franklin.

 

The municipality has been accepted into the organization.


Reeve Archie Hunter says membership in the district will allow them to receive government funding for drainage concerns connected to the Rat River and Marsh River.


Hunter notes a priority conservation project for his municipality will be cleaning up the Marsh River, which has numerous drainage problems.


The R.M. of Franklin will officially become a member of the Seine - Rat River Conservation District on April 1st, 2010.
