Parks Day opens Kippan's Mill Trail in Riding Mountain National Park on July 17 with a 1.5 km self guided hike and brochure explaining the last sawmill operation from 1936 to 1946 and its local impact.

Highway 83 Slips Cause Warning Signs In Shell River Valley
Travelling north on Highway 83 motorists face orange signs warning to slow down as the road shifts due to unseasonable rains. The subgrade has dropped about fourteen feet since May, aided by silty layers and saturated material. Crews from RM of Shellmouth Boulton and Fussell Redi Mix backfill sections daily while engineers plan trench drains and geotextile wraps to manage water seepage and prevent further erosion. The issue, ongoing since the 1980s, may require high-cost drainage work and long term monitoring.
