East Side Road Authority

In the November 20, 2008 Throne Speech, the Government of Manitoba announced that the Manitoba Floodway Authority (MFA) would be given the mandate for the construction of an all-season road on the East Side of Lake Winnipeg. Subsequently, on April 30, 2009, the Government of Manitoba introduced Bill 31, the Manitoba Floodway Authority Act, to officially expand the mandate of the MFA to assume responsibility for the construction and maintenance of an all-season road on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. On December 1, 2009, Bill 31 was officially proclaimed, establishing the Manitoba Floodway and East Side Road Authority.
