Ted Patterson, owner of Stonewall Industrial Park, challenged the board over paying more than market value for the Ducks Unlimited building. He and Robert Lowe pressed for clear renovation cost estimates and questioned public building standards. Councillors Mollard Leullman and Leiman weighed in on timing and readiness for move. The board defended its three year process and options, noting final offer of 285000 was below appraised values.

Stonewall Library Named On National Heritage List
The Stonewall library and former post office will be among five Manitoba buildings listed in Canada’s first annual Heritage Properties Register. Culture minister Bonnie Mitchelson confirmed the inclusion in a letter to Stonewall Council, noting the register reflects a cross‑provincial sample and that eligibility rests on protection under heritage policy. The building, a prewar Francis Sullivan design linked to Frank Lloyd Wright, predates World War I as a prototype for post offices, while Stonewall’s South Interlake library board has decided to abandon it for a new facility.
