The Association of Kinsmen Clubs stretches across Canada in large and small communities from coast to coast. The Association was founded by Hal Rogers of Hamilton, Ont. He lived to see the Association grow and become a truly important all-Canadian service club for young men with the working motto “Serving the Community’s Greatest Needs”. The purpose of the club has been to be actively involved in helping their community and to assist in the personal development of its members. The first large project was the construction of the North Battleford Swimming Pool in 1930 at a cost of $10,000.

Battlefords Ukrainian Seniors Society Branch No. 184 The Battlefords Ukrainian Seniors Society Branch No. 184 was first organized October 1977. The purpose was to get Ukrainian Canadians together for recreation and socialization. Having no permanent home, the basements of the two Ukrainian churches were put to use, alternating every Wednesday for readings, cards, singing and general socializing. In January 1980, we acquired the former band hall, started dismantling on January 14, 1980 and in three days time had it moved to our present location at 792 - 108 Street. Through the generosity of our people and the great amount of volunteer labor by so many we now have a building that is paid for, which serves many purposes and we are very proud to show it off. The seniors gather once a week on Tuesday afternoon for socializing, enjoy playing cards, dancing and having pot luck suppers. Every month we have a meeting at the Battlefords Ukrainian Seniors Hall. The last Monday of every second month we celebrate birthdays with a supper. Ladies also do crafts.

Battlefords Wildlife Federation More than 75 years ago a group of hunters and fisherman got together and formed an organization to stop excessive hunting and to slow down the depletion of habitat for wildlife, and to establish controls on over fishing. This organization eventually became known as The Battlefords Wildlife Federation. At the present time there are over 400 members. In 1975 the Battlefords Wildlife Federation in conjunction with The City of North Battleford, Ducks Unlimited and McMillan Brothers embarked on one of its most exciting and successful undertakings,“The Goose Nesting Project”.This is located within the city limits in the North Saskatchewan River valley. The two basins cover 135 acres. An average of 50 pairs of Canada Geese nest here each year, with a yearly hatch of over 200 goslings.This wetland also provides habitat for numerous other species both migratory and local. It is a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers. A viewing tower and platforms have been built to provide magnificent opportunities to see wildlife up close. In 1999 the Battlefords Wildlife Federation entered into a long term agreement with the City of North Battleford on use of the vacant water slide facility and have developed it into an interpretive centre. The purpose is to enhancement of wildlife habitat and youth education in outdoor and conservation fields. Displays exhibited this year are: • a 42-foot display of taxidermy specimens fitting into the backdrop mural of three landscapes — prairie, shoreline and forest; • a display of how animals are adapted to habitats; • an egg collection from over 50 types of birds; • live aquatic tank; interpreting the life of various water insects; • large forest predators. Interpreting their value in the balance of nature; • a Sportsman Den, explaining what role hunters and fishermen play; • a video camera on location on an island in the goose nesting project monitored inside the interpretive centre, allowing visitors to view wildlife up close without disturbing it; • one section has an exhibit of 124 processed plants that grow in the river valley; • on the hillsides are walkways where you can observe identified natural plant life, flower gardens and an aquatic pond.

Club DJ Trinity Baptist Church Club DJ is our church children’s club program designed for children from kindergarten to Grade 6. Our motto in Club DJ is “Hearts That Desire To Please God” and our aim is to encourage children to have hearts that desire to please the Lord. We truly believe that is we would raise up a generation with such hearts that we would begin to see things happen in our nation that would have no explanation, except that God did it! Club DJ is based on the covenant relationship between two friends David and Jonathan. We read about them in the book of I Samuel. David was a shepherd boy, the youngest in a family of eight boys and Jonathan was a prince, son of King Saul. Everyone would have thought that Jonathan would be king but God had other plans. Instead, God chose David to be the next king of Israel. You might think that Jonathan would be jealous, but instead, Jonathan made a covenant with David and promised to do al he could to help David become all that God wanted him to be. What a friend! Jonathan gave up all he had for David’s sake, and the Bible says David became a man after God’s own heart and that the Lord was with him. We want the children to know they also have a friend who gave up all He had to see them become all God wants them to be. Jesus, the Son of God, left His home in Heaven to come to earth as a little baby.

Ducks Unlimited Canada www.ducks.ca
Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is a private, non-profit, charitable organization that conserves, restores and manages wetlands and associated habitats. Since 1938, DUC has been restoring drained wetlands, improving those that have been degraded, and protecting others from being lost across Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan is part of the pothole region that spans Canada’s southern prairies and is known throughout North America as a unique jurisdiction for waterfowl. The many small wetlands that dot this landscape make it especially attractive to the waterfowl that migrate to Saskatchewan each spring to breed and rear their young. Saskatchewan citizens have long valued the ecologically rich landscapes that make up their province and have played a key role in managing habitat for migratory bird species such as waterfowl. DUC’s work with the people of Saskatchewan has been essential in achieving waterfowl habitat goals and preserving those landscapes. Waterfowl aren’t the only beneficiaries of DUC wetland and habitat conservation efforts – people benefit too. Wetlands are nature’s water filters. Beyond improving habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife, wetlands replenish groundwater sources, purify surface water and offer flood protection and erosion control. All of which contribute to a safe water supply. Although wetlands are considered nature’s nursery, the stark reality is that much of this habitat has been lost and the remainder continues to be degraded. Up to 70 per cent of Canada’s original wetlands have vanished in settled parts of the country, and more disappear every day. Our conservation work is not done. To learn more about how you can support DUC and wetland conservation, please visit www.ducks.ca.

Table Mountain Ski & Board Inc. Table Mountain Ski & Board Inc. was organized in December 1964. The small membership first used the slopes at McMillan’s gravel pit, graduating the following year to supporting a new facility with a rope tow near the hamlet of Prongua in the Eagle Hills. In the meantime, a group of skiers including Dr. Irwin Zacharias and David Conroy made an air survey of the region and located the ski hill now known as Table Mountain, 12 miles west of Battleford and four miles north and west. Work began to clear the north facing slope from bush in the fall of 1969.With some $11,000 in capital, guaranteed by 60 North Battleford businessmen,Table Mountain was opened on January 1, 1970. Hundreds of volunteer workers made Table Mountain possible. For every dollar spent, it is estimated that $5 of volunteer labour was donated including the construction and remodelling of a CN Railway Station moved from Battleford.

Sharing Griefs Journey Fomerly Griefshare “Sharing Griefs Journey” (Formerly Griefshare) is a non-profit support group for those dealing with the pain of having lost a loved one. We meet for 8 weekly sessions. Using the video series call “Griefshare”, and group sharing, we come to see grief as a normal, but at time frustrating and painful experience . There are four co-facilitators who assist in facing the emotions instigated by the sense of loss and loneliness. Each facilitator has either experienced a difficult loss or is experienced in dealing with grief reactions to loss. There is no cost. We have been in the Battlefords for over 10 years, through the strong support of The Battlefords Ministerial Association and several local funeral services. Contact: Wendy - 306-445-7315 Sue - 306-445-6658 Denise - 306-441-338 Janet - 306-445-3923 For further information on the next available session
