Which had has been since the inception of the 1981. The ndp, liberals, and green party have announced their candidates. Which goes june 18th. The pcs won the seat in last fall's election just 268 votes >> Gabrielle: after public out cry, the province has partly walked back a funding cut to programming that funds summer jobs for young people. On wednesday, the minister responsible bushie announced he's adding $300,000 to the program which helps nonprofit groups and municipalities hire young people in the summer. Last week several organizations across the province learned they didn't get the funding they usually get if any. They were concerned about the impact to programming. The manitoba camping association says it is unclear exactly what will happen with the announced funding particularly as provincial politicians go to a black out period prior to an upcoming byelection. Kim sugar says that while 300 grand isn't a cure all, she is hopeful. >> It is sounding like the funding that the additional funding now open will be some that will help camps who are denied funding in that first intake. We're really hoping that they'll come through with that and camps will feel supported and heard because it was such a huge loss for them. >> Gabrielle: many families have been benefitting from 10 dollar a day child care for more than a year now but certain families still don't qualify and there is a push to get that changed going into summer. Right now the fee are 10 bucks a day for those in infant preschool and nursery school spaces during regular full time hours but it is different for school aged kids and for those children during in services days and school holidays like summer break. The fees stay the same as before. Now the ndp government said in their election campaign they are going to change that to make it $10 for all kids no matter what day. They could not comment on that promise thursday due to a black out period with the up coming by election. Summer break is quickly approaching and they want answers. >> It is urgent. Families need to plan for their summer and know how to budget for their summer. Those that are fortunate enough to have a space need to know. >> Gabrielle: significant rainfall is expected in southern manitoba today and the city of winnipeg says its teams are at the ready to respond to any weather related issues. The city says you might want to pull out your generator in case the power goes out and make sure your phone is charged before the storm. You should inspect your back water valve make sure your gutters are clean and down spouts pointing away from home. If you have important items in the basement it is best if they are in plastic bins verses in a card board box or off the floor. Mike says that it is still too

early to tell if any specific area of the city is at risk of flooding. >> As the system starts to come through, there may be some more information that becomes available on where it is tracking. Really good look at the weather radar and see where the storm is track and go where may be those intense hot spots are if there are any >> Gabrielle: morden winkler has been hit hardest. They could still see 50 milliliters by the time the system moves out. >> Gabrielle: in the sports world the blue bombers have been very fortunate to keep much of the roster in tack to the four year run but at this training camp the blue bombers have a competition for spots with six starter jobs they have to fill after all those off season departures. They have a back up roll in need of attention that defensive tackle lawson could miss much of the season. He serveds the back up to thompson last season while being used in rotation. With lawson out long term, tanner is the next man up. He appeared in five games as a rookie where he was credited with a sack and one tackle. Head coach has seen growth in his game in his second pro camp. >> Way ahead of the game in the first training camp. And it shows on the field with these guys. Tanner is one of them.
