Looking Back Through Our Century: May 1965
May 1965 saw the last log drive on the Winnipeg River. These log drives, held annually for 25 years, were often 31 miles long, taking 10 days to complete and requiring the help of waters stored on Cat Lake and Bear Lake to push the logs down the Bear River to the Pine Falls Mill. The presence of a pulp mill in Manitoba created winter employment for thousands of Manitobans. In the 90 years of its existence, the Pine Falls Mill was a great boon to the economy of Manitoba. See the full news story to learn more about the Pine Falls Mill.
