I would also like to point out an error in the Information Package – Appendix B – Blended Program Framework. On the chart there are two boxes with the heading “Recreation 30%”. The heading for the lower box (left hand side) should read “Learning 20%”. There are also two boxes with the heading “Health 20%”. The heading for the lower box (right hand side) should read “Local Content 30%”
For more information, please contact Roy Mulligan, Project Coordinator at (204) 925-5751 or via email at recconnections.pro@sportmanitoba.ca .
