Blizzard shuts IMC K1 mine operations and halts bus routes
A fierce early winter blizzard prompted the suspension of most school bus runs and the temporary closure of Highway 16. IMC Canada shut down work at its K1 mine and mill for a full day after water from holding ponds caused dangerous power outages. Power was restored after two outages but a third forced a complete shutdown at about 3:30 am. The incident may mark the mine’s first weather-related disruption. The Manitoba minimum wage will rise from 5.25 to 5.40 per hour on January 1, 1996.
