Do-It-Yourself Government in Prairie Communities
The piece traces 1884 pioneer self reliance and modern echoes in prairie Manitoba. It cites Boundary School Division gaining charitable status to issue tax receipts, Vermilion hospital fund-raiser with 360 contributors and $7,000 profit, and Stonewall volunteers funding equipment for a new hospital plus casino proceeds. It argues communities may replace limited public funds with local philanthropy and volunteer effort.
