Canada Parks Day events spread across Manitoba with free park entry July 17 to 19. Natural Resources Minister Glen Cummings promotes the initiative and kickoff events at The Forks with about 180 children, plus an optional half kilometre hike.
On the first Sunday in July torrential rain drenched Russell, with up to seven inches falling on June saturated ground. The town’s low-lying lift station flooded, prompting an emergency council meeting as Fire Department crews pumped sewer lines and a hydraulic pump moved water to a lagoon. Insurance adjusters logged nearly 70 claims, basements filled with sewage and groundwater, and west Manitoba Avenue suffered the heaviest damage.
Terrie Welwood reports on the July flood that inundated the RM of Ellice and Russell area, submerging the Binscarth Park and Pool, washing away campsites and access, and threatening summer swimming lessons for 130 children. Volunteers logged 500 hours to salvage the site as officials weigh draining versus cleaning.
