Economic Overview

Barrows originated in the 19th century when the Red Deer Lake Sawmill was in operation. This mill was closed in 1927, and since that time several small sawmills have operated for short periods of time.

The area is heavily forested, and forest harvesting continues to provide some employment with saw logs for some mills and pulp logs going to the Tolko Mani- toba Inc. Pulpmill at the Pas.

The soils of the area have potential for agricultural development and there is limited ranching.

Trapping continues to be a major source of employment, and the community shares traplines in the Por- cupine and Shoal River Registered Trap Line Zones with other communities.

Barrows is a member of the Highway 77 Regional Round Table that strives to address the social and economic needs of the region. Contact (204) 545- 6275 Barrows Council Office

Economic Overview

Forestry, trapping, mining and wild rice are major con- tributors to the local economy. Tourism and the local services also provide income to the community.

Forested areas surrounding the community are in- cluded in the provincial forestry management unit #34. Substantial harvesting is done in the area, with the wood being delivered to the Tembec At Pine Falls. About 10 small private sawmills have a quota for saw logs in addition to their contracts with Tembec. The sawmills hire locally to fill the contracts.

Trapping is largely confined to registered traplines in the Hole River and Lac du Bonnet Registered Trap Line Zones. Bissett shares this Registered Trap Line Zone with other nearby communities.

Commercial fishing is not a large contributor to the local economy.

Economic Overview

Cormorant's physical location in a relatively flat marshy region, which is part of the Palaeozoic geo- logical zone of Manitoba, is a factor in economic development. To the west, and surrounding Cormorant Lake, is the Cormorant Forest Reserve. The remain- ing forest areas surrounding Cormorant are part of Tolko Manitoba's logging area.

The present and potential economic activity is based upon commercial fishing, trapping, forestry and tourism. Potential mineral reserves are also found within 80 kilometres of the community.

The Pas fish station serves Cormorant fishermen. The Cormorant Lodge caters to sports fishers and a number of residents provide guide services to the lodge. The Cormorant Campground and Cormorant Lake campground provide additional tourist facilities for sports hunting and fishing.

Wild rice is planted in the shallow areas of nearby lakes.

Economic Overview

Gods Lake lies within the Precambrian Shield region which is heavily forested and dotted with many small lakes. Whitefish in Gods Lake have been downgraded to "cutters" and are not economical to harvest; there- fore, there is no commercial fishing. Relatively small amounts of fish are taken from some of the outlying lakes.

Trapping occurs in the Gods Lake Registered Trap Line Zone.

Local Lodges are providing residents with seasonal guiding jobs.

Economic Overview

The Saskatchewan River Delta and adjoining Cedar Lake provide intensive fishing and wildlife production. Cattle ranching has been practised in the past.

Presently the most notable activity has been through the Moose Lake Loggers. Local residents as well as residents from nearby communities of Cormorant, Cranberry Portage and The Pas are employed.

Commercial fishing provides substantial income to the community and the fish catch is transported to The Pas. Trapping provides additional income and wild rice has been planted on nearby lakes.

Economic Overview

Pikwitonei is located within an area suitable for recreation as well as forestry development. Pockets of clay soils with some suitability for agriculture are also found in the area.

The railway reached Pikwitonei in 1914 and the community served as a division point until 1972. Railway employment is now limited to track maintenance.

The Tolko Manitoba Inc Forestry road and winter roads link the community to the all-weather road network for about six to eight weeks every January and February.

Trapping is a vital economic activity. Commercial fishers harvest on six nearby lakes and deliver fish to the Wabowden fish station. Wild rice has been planted in some of the surrounding area.

Economic Overview

The major economic activity in Pine Dock is based on commercial fishing, with some small income derived from trapping, pulpwood harvest and local services.

Fishers deliver their fish to the community fish station, unless fishing in an area of Lake Winnipeg closer to another fish station.

Pulpwood harvested from the area is shipped to Pine Falls Paper Co. Ltd at Pine Falls.

A community development corporation was formed some years ago to assist with economic growth and development.

Economic Overview

Economic opportunities include commercial fishing, trapping, mining, forestry, some tourism support, and some wild rice harvesting in nearby lakes.

Fishing on the nearby Kississing Lake is divided between commercial and recreational interests. Com- mercial fishers deliver their catch to The Pas fish station.

Seasonal logging in the area produces pulp-logs for the Tolko Manitoba Inc. pulp mill at The Pas.

Both Kississing Lodge and others are located on Cold Lake, and divide the tourism between them. This is a major employment area in season.

Although there is opportunity for mining in the area, a nearby mine was recently closed, based on economic considerations but has since been purchased by Auriga Gold Corp. of Toronto who are undergoing and extensive diamond drilling program. Exploration by Halo Resources is ongoing since 2007. Mine reme- diation of abandoned mine site in progress.

The opening of the Bucko Lake Mine has injected the community with new life. Pre selling of ore has en- abled Crowflight to continue to operate even in the current down trends in world markets.

The Community Council, Crowflight Minerals Inc. and UCN have joined forces and now have mining training in the community which is being attended not only by locals but by others from outlying communities.

Wabowden is also situated in the "Wabowden Clay Belt," an agricultural zone with some potential for agricultural applications. An agriculture research station operated from 1956 to 1965 in the community to as- sess soil fertility and plant adaptability in mid-northern Manitoba.

Commercial fishing continues to be one of the major sources of employment. The Wabowden fish station, located in the community, serves the communities of Wabowden, Nelson House, Thicket Portage, Cross Lake, Snow Lake, Pikwitonei and Herb Lake Landing, all of whom have access to the Nelson and Grass River watershed areas. The area connection with the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation provides valuable facilities and creates seasonal employment.

Trappers in the Wabowden Registered Trap Line Zone produce additional income for the community economy.
