Community Volunteers in Action!
The Town of Powerview-Pine Falls put out a call to
the community in February 2006 for volunteers to
provide guidance and input regarding upgrading
and maintaining the Boat Launch in the rock area.
The dock area was an item of concern that was
discussed and negotiated with Tembec during the
merger process. It was recognized by all as an
important tourist attraction and as such, of great
value to the entire region. Tembec has agreed to
allow the community to continue using this site until
they require the area for future expansion purposes.

A dedicated group of people came forward, and along with council representation formed a
committee that have been meeting on a monthly basis since March. This committee is comprised
of Willy Davidson, Ray Fawcett, Don Powell, Grant Cyr, Rene Dubé, Bob Stokes, Gerald Kraynk,
Bev Dubé, Jack Shwaluk, Paul Pelland and Mayor Henry Ostrowski.
The committee established a Seasonal Pass Sticker with an annual fee $20.00 as a way to fund
the much needed repairs and these stickers are now available in eight locations in the community,
Papertown Motel, Manitou Lodge, Papineau Motors, Chicken Chef, Clarks Corner, Broadlands
Mall, Pine Falls Service Center and the Town Office.
Signage for the upper parking area and for the kiosk has been ordered and will be in place soon.
A porta potty has been donated by the former Winnipeg River Game and Fish Association for
permanent use at the site.
If anyone is interested in helping out on one of the work crews you can contact Willy Davidson
who has taken the lead on this initiative.
Committee involvement is open to any person who would like to be involved in any way. Minutes of
the meetings can also be obtained from the Town office staff.
The next meeting is scheduled for September 5th @ 7:00pm in the Town Board Room.
