“There is an operational need for the new RCMP detachment facilities in Flin Flon, Shoal Lake, and Morris, Manitoba,” reads a publicly available 194-page RCMP project brief. According to the project brief, funding for the Flin Flon project has already been approved - the current estimated construction cost of a new Flin Flon RCMP station has been pegged at about $7.6 million, not including applicable taxes or administration costs. Funds are not yet approved for the Morris and Shoal Lake projects. “At this time, Flin Flon detachment has been approved for design and construction,” reads the brief. The RCMP and procurement services are currently looking for a consultant to oversee the project, which would cover placement of the new station and covered secure parking for police vehicles including cars, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles and other vehicles.
