The Town of Neepawa is conducting a survey about the upcoming budget. They did it last year as well and it’s a good thing. Having served on Neepawa council twice and having attended countless council, community and committee meetings over decades of time, I can appreciate why the council is doing the survey. In one way or another, councils in all towns and RMs conduct surveys one on one or in the coffee shop or in this case with an actual survey.
