An information meeting is being held tonight at the Oakland recreation centre.  Establishing a ''Rural Crime Watch Area'' in the RM's ward 3 is the main focus of the meeting.  RM of Portage Councillor Terry Simpson says residents have expressed concern about criminal activity in the area and they want to do something to prevent it. 
Simpson adds residents from wards 2,3 and 4 are all welcome at the meeting.  He believes having a Rural Crime Watch Area is very beneficial and says it's good to see residents showing an effort to curb crime trends.  The information meeting gets underway at 8:00 p.m. this evening.
