4 Delegations and Hearings
4.1 Delegation: Carly Minish re: Veterans Hall Food Labeller grant application
Carly Minish of SMAK DAB Gourmet Mustard provided council with an overview of her company’s use of the Food Processing Center (FPC) located in the Veterans Community Hall. She has been renting the FPC for 3 years now and advised that the FPC has been critical in the growth and expansion of her company. Every single jar has been produced in the FPC.
She had asked the Town to apply for government funding through Manitoba Agriculture for the purchase of a tabletop wrap-around labeller which will enable her company to scale up production immensely and increase capacity, which will allow her to pursue bigger customers and expand distribution. Recently the grant was approved so she asked Council to consider accepting the grant and she provided some financial options which will cover the 25% of the cost of the labeller that the Town would be responsible for.
