Office of Drinking Water RM of Kelsey and Town of The Pas R.M. of Kelsey drinking water quality is good, no exceedences on Health parameters. The berms installed around the RM wells need to be looked at and inspected. Town of The Pas drinking water quality is good. There is a periodic THM issue which more so correlates to higher flood waters. There is a concern about the Town’s raw water intake location. It may possibly be located downstream of the First Nation Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plants are on opposite sides of the Saskatchewan River, with the Town intake being on the far south side of the river. The town is also working with Fisheries and Oceans on replacing the intake screen. Cranberry Portage The Water Treatment Systems (WTS) in the area including the town of Cranberry Portage the Cranberry Portage Conservation Yard and a few of the Lodges in the area use surface water with chlorination as a disinfectant. They do not have filtration system to date that require backwashing so they do not have wastewater to discharge to the Environment. There are plans in the works with the RM of Kelsey and the Town of Cranberry Portage to upgrade the WTS so when their design is submitted to the Office of Drinking Water for approval there will need to be a plan for the wastewater produced from backwashing the plant. Depending on the Treatment System chosen the wastewater will either be discharged to the environment which would require an Environment Act Licence from Conservations Environment Section or the wastewater will be sent through the communities wastewater treatment process. Through either process there will need to be consultations with the Carrot-Saskatchewan River Integrated Watershed Management Team. The wastewater fields and cisterns in the area of Lake Athapapuskow should have Environmental Permits issued by Manitoba Conservations Environment section. There is no information on the number or location of any of these facilities. .

126 Chapter 20
Ruth and Jack Paterson A pretty blonde wife, a four-year-old daughter, dubious health, and a determination to earn his own living as a writer - these were Jack ,Paterson's main assets (and liabilities) when he and his family arrived in the wild frontier town of Cranberry Portage in the summer of 1928. He had just been released from a T.B. sanatorium, and he and his wife, Ruth, had decided that a career as a writer was just what the doctor would order for a man who had to watch his health. And what better locale for an aspiring writer than the raw and booming North, where history, and fortunes, were in the making every day of the week? In Cranberry Portage, the Patersons had certainly picked the right place for action. Its one ragged street boasted twenty gambling and bootlegging jOints. Lake traffic and construction trains poured new supplies and new citizens daily into the town, from which the new railroad was being extended to Flin Flon - itself no more than a scattering of tents and log cabins. Among their fellow settlers were traders and rail-construction men, gamblers and bootleg gers, bush pilots and gold-mad prospectors. Here is the extraordinary story of a young couple determined to build a new life for them selves in a huge, implacable land where mira cles and mayhem, tragedy, humour, ana·plain old-fashioned courage were an everyday commonplace.

Doug Evans: Contributions to Ancient Northern Heritage
Doug Evans: Contributions to Northern Manitoba Archaeology Katherine Pettipas Introduction In the fall of 2014, the Manitoba Archaeological Society (MAS) honoured a number of avocational archaeologists at its annual conference. On this occasion, I had the opportunity to present an overview of the contributions of former Flin Flonner Doug Evans to our knowledge and understanding of the province’s northern heritage. Figure 1: Doug Evans Doug is an avocational heritage aficionado and a long-time member of the MAS. He is also the founder of the Flin Flon Heritage Project that involves the collection and digitization of the history of the northern mining town. Northerners may recognize him as the author of his witty books about early days in the community, namely, Tales from a Town with a Funny Name and A Child’s Garden of Rocks. Few are aware of Doug’s valuable work as an avocational archaeologist and ethnographer in the 1950s and 1960s. The proceeds of his efforts (artifacts and photographs) have been donated to The Manitoba Museum, and to the University of Winnipeg (oral history). The Manitoba Archaeological Society recognized Doug’s efforts many years ago by naming a site in the Flin Flon/Lake Athapapuskow area and a particular type of projectile point after him. The present 1 | P a g e Doug Evans: Contributions to Northern Manitoba Archaeology Katherine Pettipas article highlights some of Doug’s contributions to our awareness of long- ago Indigenous peoples of the North. Background In order to appreciate the significance of Doug’s contribution to science, we have to first review the overall history of the Lake Athapapuskow area as it is presently perceived by archaeologists and historians.

Northeast Parks
Northeast Parks Grass River Provincial Park Introduction With an area of 2,279 km2, Grass River Provincial Park is characterized by rivers and lakes of the Grass River system, and the contact zone between the boreal forest and the Manitoba lowlands. Classified as a Natural Park, its purpose is to preserve areas that are representative of the Churchill River Upland portion of the Precambrian Boreal Forest Natural Region, and the Mid- Boreal portion of the Manitoba Lowlands Natural Region and accommodates a diversity of recreational opportunities and resource uses. The park will: Preserve woodland caribou habitat and the high water quality of the Grass River; Promote canoeing, camping and fishing opportunities, and permit related facilities and services; Promote public appreciation and education of the cultural and natural history of the Grass River; and Accommodate commercial resource uses such as forestry and mining, where such activities do not compromise the other park purposes. Loucks Falls The Land The southern portion of the park along PTH 39 is dominated by dolomite rock (light-coloured, sedimentary) of the Manitoba Lowlands, easily seen at rock cuts along the highway. Most of the park is underlain by the granitic rocks of the Precambrian Shield. This area is highly mineralized and attracted prospectors for gold, copper and other metals as early as 1913. The boundary between the two geological regions is not hard to find. The shoreline of a lake along PTH 39 is surrounded by dolomite, while the first island or opposite shore is likely to be made up of granites. The change in colour and texture is striking.
