The provincial and federal governments are working together to help out the town of Ogema and improve quality of life for its residents. The town will receive $2 million for upgrades to their water treatment plant, including a new reverse osmosis system.

Carol Peterson, mayor of Ogema, said they are very excited and grateful to the provincial and federal government for the funding.

"We have a fair supply of water but the quality isn't as good as we'd like it to be, so this is huge that we're getting this better quality of water it just improves our quality of life," shared Peterson.

She said the work should be completed over the next two years.

"We are able to use some of the old infrastructure that we already have so we're not discarding all of our old infrastructure."
