The Manitoba Department of Municipal and Northern Relations is providing $26,250 to The Pas to help create summer jobs for local youth. Announced on April 16, 2026, by Municipal and Northern Relations Minister Glen Simard, the funding is part of a larger provincial initiative to support young workers through the Urban/Hometown Green Team program.
The grant will support various community projects in The Pas, including public works, grounds maintenance, and event preparation. These positions are open to residents aged 15 to 29 and will take place between May and September 2026.
The province is investing a total of $7.6 million across Manitoba this year through the Green Team program, which is expected to support 624 projects and provide roughly 1,900 jobs. For municipal projects, the provincial funding covers 50 percent of wage costs on a cost-shared basis.
