When was the last time there was an election for the position of Reeve in the RM of Portage?

I have been trying to find the answer to this question.  Two possibilities that have been mentioned are: early 1970's and 1965.  Does anyone know for sure?  All I know is it's been far too long!

Thank you!

PCU Center

Since announcing my candidacy, I have been asked my thoughts on the PCU Center on a few different occasions.  It is no secret that I am against tax dollars being used to fund the full RM contribution. Nor am I in favor of the location as it does not promote future growth.  Having said that, the facility is built and operational.  There are some things we cannot change.  The PCU Center is a beautiful facility that we need to embrace and enjoy.  Our main goal should be to ensure the facility is used to its full potential.  We need to make sure that the PCU Center generates as much revenue as possible to be self-sustaining.  We cannot continue to burden the taxpayer with tax increases for non-essential services!
