The Neepawa Library
Summer was busy at the Neepawa Library, where we celebrated all things Canada, in honour of our country’s sesquicentennial. Young readers borrowed many, many books and read many, many pages! They will have a definite advantage starting school this fall, as their eager brains are still primed from all the reading they did this summer. Congratulations to everyone who participated in our Summer Reading Program! And a big thank you also goes out to our talented and enthusiastic summer student, Vicky Elgert, who led the program activities and kept all the readers coming back for more.

1960 - Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's government approved The Canadian Bill of Rights. It granted First Nations people the right to vote in federal elections without losing their treaty status. One step ahead and two back for The First Nations people, as the “60’s scoop” had begun and became the new agent for assimilation.
