Community efforts include Rossburn Hospital Centre tenders, Silver Creek and Sandy Lake history groups, Marco Pasture gains, and a look back at 1930s sod houses amid changing transport and roads.

Manitoba readers hear from farmers and lawmakers in letters
A set of letters from Manitoba readers discusses farming progress, hydro power, road upgrades, and agricultural science as the province moves toward the 1990s. It lauds Rossburn farmers, critiques politicians Sid Green and Bud Boyce, and backs the New Democratic Party as uniting farmers and labor. A Selkirk Centennial note invites residents to Homecoming Week in 1982.
