Farm accident fatal
A farming accident at a Hutterite colony in the Rural Municipality of South Norfolk has claimed the life of a 32-year-old man.
RCMP say the man was repairing a feed mixer at a hog-production facility when he got trapped in the machine.
Treherne RCMP responded about 8:30 a.m. Friday and say the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses said he was alone near the machine only a short time when the accident happened, RCMP say.
Residents in Treherne said the tragedy happened at the Fairholme Colony.
The colony is located 120 kilometres west of Winnipeg.
Road reopened
A stretch of Provincial Road 367 in Duck Mountain Provincial Park has been reopened following a closure earlier this summer.
The section of road between provincial trunk highways 10 and 366 was closed due to a severe washout earlier in the season.
Construction is ongoing at the site, and motorists are asked to slow down and drive with caution in the construction area.
Jobs project funded
OTTAWA is funding a new employment project in Sioux Lookout to give aboriginal youth access to job training and work experience.
The Sioux Lookout Area Aboriginal Management Board is set to receive more than $90,000 in federal money for a project that will help 28 on-reserve youth in a number of northwestern Ontario First Nations.
The money will allow them to work for 35 hours a week for eight weeks at activities that include general office work, accounting and bookkeeping, recreational activities coordination, and assisting elderly people in their homes.
