Route 83 delegates seek progress at Roblin convention
Delegates at the International Highway 83 Association gathering in Roblin push for extending Highway 83 to the port of Churchill. Kinney argues the North holds undiscovered wealth as Manitoba plans 80 miles of graded road from Split Lake to Gillam. Officials note upgrades on Highway 63 and a potential Gulf-to-Churchill link. New life members join, and by-laws for incorporation are approved. Farmers are advised to prepare grain bins for harvest to prevent insect problems.

Russell considers civic centre as town trades land
Russell town council moved toward a civic administration centre by exchanging 11 west of Bill Hodgson’s Yellowhead Buildall with nine east Main St lots held by Hodgson. The nine houses New Era Plumbing and Heating and a lumber yard occupy now will be moved or razed for a new building west of Main St. Mayor Langford cited Mobberly’s retail study recommending replacing the town hall with a civic building. The town may own the multi storey and lease space to tenants, including offices, a community hall, federal and provincial offices, and a county court. Negotiations followed discussion of the Mobberly report and the August 13 meeting releasing details to spur public interest.

They urged paving the back lane behind Main Street west to Assiniboine, bury hydro lines, and open Assiniboine Street west to Highway 83. They referenced consultant Terry Mobberly’s July 14 report and highlighted parking and a potential new grocery. The council discussed costs and opening back lanes, while proceeding with lane realignment and hydro pole moves. Memorial Ave upgrade and lagoon works were also approved.
