Council meets every second and fourth Tuesday of each month in the Shell River Office Council Chambers, 213 - 2nd Avenue NW, Roblin.
Meetings start at 1:30 PM for November to April and at 7:30 AM for May to October. The time changes are to accommodate council members during busy farm seasons (i.e. seeding, haying,
harvest). Our latest set of minutes are shown below. If you see anything in them that you would like to comment on, please email us at
shellrvr@mts.net.
We keep one years minutes on the website. If you need to look for anything
further back than that, please stop by the office and we'll be happy to let you
look through the minute books.
