Lake of the Prairies Development Sparks Fishing Fears
The Lake of the Prairies area sees private developments along the northern shore despite fishermen's concerns about depleting fisheries. Fisheries manager Hugh Valiant notes walleye yield near 1 pound per acre yearly, urging fish management. Roblin investor Gladys Nykolaishyn plans a $1 million resort with a year‑round dining hall and marina, while others lease lake land for campgrounds and hatcheries. Provincial land maps push recreational use with zoning for agriculture and wildlife, as Roblin's planning board works on local plans and an Inter‑Park West Development Committee promotes regional growth.

Fisher Branch off track elevator demo opens for grain moves
A $900 000 off track elevator demonstration opened last week in Fisher Branch to test alternatives to railway branch line abandonment. Funded partly by the federal government through Arbors, the project supports Fisher Branch and Broad Valley grain growers by allowing deliveries to continue while testing lower cost transport. The Grain Transportation Agency says using off track elevators on the Inwood subdivision offers a cost effective grain movement option and is expected to cost about 37 tonne.
