The Government of Canada has delivered the first of two installments of the Federal Gas Tax to Saskatchewan for the 2018-19 fiscal year.

The GTF is a long term, indexed source of funding that supports local infrastructure projects across the province each year.

Shaunavon, this time around, will be receiving $109,926 and Chief Administrative Officer, Tara Fritz, says "We use that towards our pavement program. That's how we're able to pave as we have been in the past."

Fritz adds that in 2017 they were able to re-pave 890 meters of streets within the community.

In total, the province has been provided with more that 61.9 million dollars.
