    CANADA-MANITOBA Soil Survey Soils of the Rural Municipality of Rhineland Report D76 Government Gouvernement Government Gouvernement of Canada du Canada of Manitoba du Manitoba SOILS REPORT NO. D76 . 1991 SOILS OF THE RURAL MUNICIPALITY OF RHINELAND by Glenn Podolsky CANADA-MANITOBA SOIL SURVEY AGRICULTURE CANADA MANITOBA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA PREFACE This interim report and map of the detailed field and laboratory study of the soils of the Rural Municipality of Rhineland is one in a new series of such soil survey reports covering special interest areas in southern Manitoba. These reports reflect the growing concern by various government agencies that support the Canada-Manitoba Soil Survey, that a knowledge of the development and distribution of the soils of Manitoba is the key to understanding their properties, behaviour and response to management. This concern requires that soils be described both in terms of their basic properties and the nature of the environmental setting in which they are found. Thus, when an area such as that in the R.M. of Rhineland study requires delineation of land of high or low value for crop production or for other uses, the basic reference document is an accurate and reliable soil map. The land resource information included in this resurvey covers approximately 93 241 ha of land. It includes only a portion ofthe area covered in the reconnaissance survey of the Morris Map Sheet Area (Report No. 5, 1953). However, the projected more intensive use of the soils for agriculture and the growing competition for other uses of land in the area has created a need for more up-to-date, more accurate and more detailed soil information.

Business sessions were augmented by a touch of Mennonite architecture and the arts, quartet singing, an author reading and snacks. There was also historical significance in the meeting site, since MHV is an offshoot of the historical society. Curator Roland Sawatzky noted ongoing events at the Village, such as its May MCC theme, highlighting "quilts, war and women making a difference" in the Gallery. Sawatzky also summarized his PhD dissertation entitled Author James Urry at book signing. "The Control of Social Space in Mennonite Housebarns of - Photos by Bert Friesen Manitoba, 1874-1940."

    The Herdsman's House – Neubergthal

    Heritage Posting 1 No. 75 June 2013 The Herdsman’s House – Neubergthal by Margruite Krahn In 1998 when Paul and I purchased the John P Klippenstein property, it was the barn that caught our attention, and the reason for our move to Neubergthal. Shortly after settling onto the property we learned of the value of another building on the property, the village herdsman’s house. The knowledge that this was the only remaining dwelling of its type in Manitoba, meant we had to make a decision we hadn’t expected to stabilize and later restore the structure. What we have come to learn from written research and the oral tradition of local residents, is that this three room ca.1890’s wood frame structure was initially a herdsman’s house in Gnadenthal, and moved to Neubergthal in ca.1900. All indications are that it was also used as the village herdsman’s house in Neubergthal. “Sometime after the village agreement ended (1909), the transition away from the communal pasture and herdsman occurred, and each village farmer pastured their own cattle. Perhaps this Herdsman’s House and Krahn Barn ( built by P. J. was as early as 1912, as that was when Peter Klippenstein Klippenstein in 1929) established the yard on which the house hold thatching. ”(Prairie Settlement Patterns, L.

  • Local World War I Stories Part 4

    Local World War I Stories Part 4

    War Memorials in Manitoba: An Artistic Legacy Reinland Conscientious Objectors The local history book, Reinland: An Experience in Community, provides some valuable insights into the thoughts and lives of those young men who chose to stand against the war – a group that came to be known as conscientious objectors: World Wars I and II were different experiences in some respects. Despite what was probably the strongest national fervour that Canada has known, the government, in World War I, adhered strictly to the Privilegium of 1873. In World War II this adherence took some different forms. A large number of Mennonite young men volunteered for military service including some from Reinland. When conscription came there was no blanket exemption as in the previous war. Provisions were made for alternative service. In effect the conscientious objectors became involved in forestry and other types of service in the 1870s. WORLD WAR I When World War I broke out there was some uneasiness in the churches. Would the Privilegium stand the test of war? In November 1916, three Reinländer Mennonite Church elders, Johann Friesen of Manitoba, Abram Wiebe of Swift Current and Jacob Wiens of Hague‐Osker, visited Ottawa. The uneasiness of these leaders was temporarily allayed, at least to a degree, by the guarantee of Prime Minister Robert L. Borden that the 1873 contract would be observed to the letter. Elder Isaak M. Dyck, a young minister in Manitoba at this time, later described anxieties from his viewpoint. The large sums of money that soon had to be raised for the Red Cross were viewed with misgivings by Dyck.

This population database is considered a reliable and accurate estimate of population sizes, and is helpful for understanding trends and useful for health planning purposes. The Indigenous population has also been updated in March 2019 by the Indigenous Health program with the great help of Band Membership clerks. Please note that in 2018, international students, their spouses, and dependents were excluded because they were no longer eligible for provincial health insurance. This has impacted the population counts by approximately 10,000, largely from WRHA, compared to previous reports.
