RUTH BONNEVILLE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Construction material is laid out in an area of Bourkevale Park on the Assiniboine River bank as .construction crews upgrade the combined sewers at the corner of Ferry Road and Assiniboine Avenue on Thursday. Tom Brodbeck - Columnist For Column - Progress may be slow on securing provincial funding to upgrade the City of Winnipeg’s north end sewage treatment plan.
