ND Gov. Doug Burgum and Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister at the International Peace Garden (Governor Doug Burgum)
WINNIPEG (CJOB/KFGO) – Gov. Doug Burgum and Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister met to announce the province would match North Dakota’s contribution of 7.5 million dollars to improve the International Peace Garden.
Pallister told reporters during a joint meeting that Manitoba and North Dakota are friends…”and this pandemic has interrupted friendships, and it’s hurt, it’s hurt not just economically but socially.” He said this an important message to send that Manitoba and North Dakota can co-operate and work together.
He also inducted Governor Doug Burgum and the citizens of North Dakota into Manitoba’s Order of the Buffalo Hunt to recognize the governor for supporting Manitoba-based truck drivers in getting vaccinated against COVID-19 in his state.
Yesterday’s gathering was the Manitoba Premier’s final public appearance as he is resigning effective tomorrow.
