Pelican Lake Concerns Prompt Action Talk in Cartwright
South East Zone Committee of West Man met in Cartwright Manitoba to discuss Pelican Lake conditions. Officials note low lake levels and die offs of young fish worsened by reduced fresh water inflow after Highway 253 altered the Pembina River. A plan to redirect water back into the lake was discussed with Harry Enns and local councils to boost levels and tourism potential.
