Women in the region increased to 419,000 in October, accounting for 81.7 percent of a 1,344,000 labor force.

Manitoba Rally Urges French Directorate for Education
A proposed directorate to promote French language and culture in education is urged by the Manitoba French Rally Commission. It would absorb the existing association, include trustees and teachers from French schools, and push for French as language of instruction in subjects, with steps to strengthen French teacher training and staffing.

Prairie grain drying crisis hits farmers as damp grain rises
Prairie farmers face a mounting wave of damp grain after a wet harvest and a shortage of grain driers. Only about 30 percent of mechanically dried grain survived processing, and experts warn many on farms may spoil before warmer weather. With 1,800 driers on the prairies and limited capacity, estimates show 50 million bushels a month could be dried, risking substantial cash losses as wheat damaged by drying cannot be milled. Factors like wind, humidity, moisture, foreign material, and dryer circulation complicate drying, underscoring the system’s fragility.
