NIPAWIN – The Nipawin heliport project received a boost in funds from SaskPower on May 6.
SaskPower donated $50,000 towards a helipad at the Nipawin hospital. SaskPower was joined by Fred Bradshaw, MLA for Carrot River Valley, Jerry Kindrat, Chair of the Twin Lakes District Planning Commission, and representatives from the Nipawin hospital at the future site of the new helipad.
