School Board Tackles Bell Avenue Housing Plan
The Pas School Board approves a position paper on the Manitoba Housing and Renewal Corporation proposal for Bell Avenue. It states a severe local housing shortage and identifies two main needs: single persons or young couples seeking rentals and young couples with children needing three bedroom homes. The paper claims influx from Keewatin College, Northern Manpower Corps, and Social Services is shifting northern Manitoba housing pressures onto The Pas, while essential support services may be strained by increased demand. Growth has already been noted.
