Grievances Discussed at Pas District Farmers Meet
The Pas District Farmers Association heard from Water Resources Superintendent Harvey Anderson on June 3 about a leaking dike at the pumping station that lasted more than ten days before it broke. He noted such leaks are not unusual and cited a Winnipeg expert. About forty farmers attended, many with flooded lands, and calls were made to lower area water levels while officials said levels are unusually high across the Prairies. The meeting questioned policy aimed at protecting cottages and beaches on Lake Winnipeg by keeping the Saskatchewan River high.
