About 440 cords of wood will be available to residents of the Piney rural municipality this week after large sections of forest were cleared for Manitoba Hydro's Manitoba-Minnesota project. "They [Manitoba Hydro] dispersed it as a benefit to us as a benefit to the community," said Dale Edbom, Councillor for the rural municipality of Piney. Each household in the municipality will be eligible for a permit to pick up five cords of wood during the first two weeks of distribution, after which they will be able to obtain another five-cord permit until supplies last. Permits can be purchased from the RM office for a $10 administration fee.
Does anybody know what kind of wood is available. 440 cords is a lot of wood and a ten dollar permit is pretty cheap for wood already cut down and on the ground.
At five cord for $10 doesn't matter if it's balsa wood! Way better than feeding a chipper. Too bad more companies and governments don't do that.
Wow, that is a hell of a deal, and they have it all nicely stacked as well! Why can't I find a deal like the around here lol
