Manitoba Hydro has released information on its preferred route for the Manitoba-Minnesota Transmission Project.

Public open houses will take place in February and March in communities in Southeastern Manitoba and in Winnipeg to present the preferred route for the Manitoba-Minnesota Transmission Project.

Feb. 10 – Zhoda, Community Centre, corner of Road no. 16 & Balla Road
