Swan Valley Food Bank aims to aid community despite critique
Swan Valley moves forward with a planned Swan Valley Food Bank set to open October 4 led by president Chris Leon. Sponsors from the Swan Valley Co op and others express interest though Extra Foods pending. The initiative seeks to supplement family needs via a strict referral system while critics worry it simply shifts burdens rather to the children. Meanwhile displaced Waterhen reserve residents pursue a land base at the Norquay Hutterite Colony, with negotiations ongoing and potential possession as early as next summer. Residents previously living across Dauphin area seek space and funding, as officials deny knowledge of funds sources. A Manitoba Saskatchewan community column notes local farming innovations, including Andre Sanders transforming a high clearance sprayer into a swather for harvest efficiency.
