The Pas faces potential gaps in daily air service until runways are usable. Surface links with Flin Flon may be the only option, pending runway construction. Mr Turner cites limited service possible on some days if large aircraft are barred in 1964, but the town will mainly rely on surface transport.
Mk Turner says TransAir told Department of Transport The Pas must be accessible year round for operations. Northern Manitoba centers rely on Viscount or DC 4 aircraft via The Pas. The Pas Airport is a desirable alternate landing site for larger planes. Turner urges the Town and civic bodies to push for upgrading local runway standards promptly.
The Pas proposes a plan to move hydré power north from Grand Rapids with Flin Flon collaboration. A Town Council meeting approved inviting Don Stephens and Bill Fallis of Manitoba Hydro to discuss the issue. Invitations will also go to Maitland Steinkopf, Jack Carroll, and Buck Wimay.
Mooted machinery plan to streamline bookkeeping could save salaries in year one, Mr Reid says. If Mr Wiichowy and Mr Reid push further, discussions with the Union are likely. Both sides have made proposals for a new collective bargaining agreement, with the Union seeking a 10 percent across the board raise.
Council heard that local cabs remain for sale but the taxi venture faces weak demand as the number of transients passing through The Pas has dropped. Mr. Gibson explained the decline is the main reason for not pursuing taxi operations.
An initial claim of 300 dollars was filed with the Town Council on January 7 after a Christmas morning waterline break on Eleventh Street West. Dennis Lamb and wife allege basement flooding, extensive yard ditching, and heating disruption. They sought 200 dollars upfront. the council sent the claim to insurance adjustors. A second claim and medical expenses for Mrs. Henry Waller are also being reviewed.
