Main Street snow clearing debate at Russell council
Mayor Jim Langford and councillors discussed snow removal on Main Street with praise for town crews but concern over the provincially owned road. The Department of Highways will clear Main Street only once in December due to budget limits, leading to plans for possible town crew help despite objections. A front-end loader later repiled the snow. See School Page 4A.
