Flooding Closes Roads As Assiniboine River Rises Across valley
Visitors including Jean Cook and family stayed across the Swan River while floodwaters cover thousands of acres in the Assiniboine Valley. High water swamped Highway 83 near Miniota, stranding grain and prompting cross-river student transport by boat and bus for Miniota and Birtle schools. Community action moved grain to safety and local celebrations continued with the Miniota Cubs banquet and commemorations for veterans and anniversaries.
