Local shopping urged to aid community well being
Community leaders urge residents to shop locally in Roblin and nearby towns to keep money within the area. A survey shows many Roblin shoppers have annual incomes under 15 000 dollars, raising concerns about economic support for the town. Historical notes recount droughts in 1893 and 1894, with farmers losing machinery and facing bleak prospects. Many stayed despite poverty, waiting for better years.
