Water and North Growth Debate at Pas Chamber Dinner
The Pas chamber heard Professor George Russell urge unity against pressure groups and call for northern development. He warned of water shortages, urged firebreaks and dams, questioned drainage schemes, and urged expanding population to push growth north while criticizing welfare incentives that keep people in crowded southern regions. He cited Winnipeg floodway costs and argued a northern expansion would benefit Winnipeg and the region.
