groundwater to maintain lake levels and can be partially drained to accommodate surface water during potential flooding.” This multi-functional approach to infrastructure design reflects growing awareness among Manitoba municipalities that climate resilience requires integrating flood management into community amenities rather than treating it as separate infrastructure. The approach aligns with provincial watershed management priorities that emphasize natural water retention and controlled drainage. PRIORITIES FOR ST. CLEMENTS’ FUTURE St. Clements’ leadership has outlined clear priorities for the municipality’s near-term development, focusing on housing, recreation, and commercial growth. “One of our top priorities is to have more housing throughout the municipality,” states Mayor Fiebelkorn. “We’ve worked hard on applications for the federal accelerator fund. So far, we haven’t been successful, but we believe we’re still in consideration. I would like to see that process move forward to support our housing initiatives.” 201 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 05 RM ST. CLEMENTS, MB
