Tragic 1899 Ukrainian Polish settlers mass grave in Manitoba
The mass grave at Patterson Lake near Strathclair marks the 1899 route of Ukrainian and Polish settlers to Canada. Fourteen wagons carried hundreds who faced scarlet fever, winter snow, and scarce shelter, killing four small children and three others en route. A cairn now honors those who perished while descendants contribute to medicine, law, education, farming, and the arts.

Andrews brothers spark growth with pellet stove idea
Bruce and Barbara Andrews of Lac du Bonnet pursue greener winters with a pellet heating venture. Bruce, inspired by cold mornings, adopts hopper-fed pellet stoves using sawdust and other fibers, while brother Michael runs Riverlane Pellets making sawdust alfalfa and straw pellets. They market in-house stoves, back yard furnaces, and offer custom pelletizing for farmers as hydro costs rise.
