Playing the Pipes: Bagpiper Regan Miller’s Music Lynne Bell CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net

Regan Miller has been playing the bagpipes for over 25 years. The Carlyle resident began playing the pipes as an 11-year-old and since then, has played in pipe bands- and as an individual piper- in both Canada and New Zealand. And although he is not a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Miller was asked to join the RCMP Regina Pipes and Drums- where he has played during the RCMP’s iconic Sunset Ceremony and at Regina’s Brandt Centre in the presence of Saskatchewan Lieutenant Governor, Vaughn Scho�ield. “I’ve been with them for about four years,” says Miller. “I was asked to play with them. I

knew an RCMP member who also played the pipes and he suggested it to me.” “I try to get in to the RCMP Depot when I can. We practice once a week and we do all kinds of events. For me, one of the neatest ones was piping at the Sunset Ceremony. Our uniform is the red serge and a kilt and the Sunset Ceremony is one of those events you remember.” “But we play all kinds of things. Our next one is an event on St. Patrick’s Day,” adds Miller. Growing up in Harding, Manitoba, Miller’s interest in the bagpipes began early. “There were a couple of pipers in my family,” he says. “My brother and brother-in-law now play the pipes, too.” “I started playing with the Rivers and Dis-

trict Pipe Band in Rivers, Manitoba,” he adds. “They were a very wellestablished pipe band and they’ve been around since the 1950s- probably since right after World War II.” “We played a lot of fairs and parades throughout the years and I soon learned it takes a bit of air to play the bagpipes,” says Miller. “It also takes some coordination, but it’s like anything else- it has a lot to with practice.” “I bought my �irst set of bagpipes when I was 17-years-old, when I graduated from high school,” he says. “When I was 18, I took my pipes to New Zealand- where I went for a nine-month agricultural exchangeand I joined the McKenzie Highland Pipe Band there.” Continued on page 7

Anglers reminded to remove ice ﬁshing shelters Ainsley Wright CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net

As winter winds down, so does another season of ice �ishing on the prairies. Despite the wicked blizzard we had last week, the warmer weather is on its way and it’s time to get those shacks off the ice. Many anglers were busy this past weekend, as deadlines to have shelters removed have passed in parts of our provinces. In Manitoba, any ice �ishing shelters on the Red River were to be removed by March 12. This is due to uncertainty around ice conditions on the river, combined with higher expected temperatures and cautions about high water moving north from the United States, according to the government of Manitoba. In Saskatch-

ewan, any shelters south of Highway 16 were to be removed by March 15. Some areas of the provinces have a little extra time to get their �ishing in. Shelters in areas north of Highway 16 in southern and central Saskatchewan have until March 31 to be removed. March 31 is also the deadline for shelters across the rest of southern Manitoba unless requested by a conservation of�icer to do so sooner because of unsafe ice conditions. In areas in northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba, anglers have until April 15 to remove their ice �ishing shelters from the ice. If shelters are not removed, owners may be prosecuted and the structure and contents may be removed and con�iscated. The government of

Saskatchewan would like to remind everyone that all litter must also be removed when shelters are taken off the ice and structures must be moved to a location above the high water mark. Ice �ishing shelters must have the owner’s complete name, address and phone number on the outside in legible letters that are at least 2.5 cm high. Both governments caution everyone that is traveling on the ice to be careful about the safe removal of their property. Slush indicates that ice is eroding from above and below at an advanced rate and changing temperatures can cause thermal cracks and pressure ridges, which are indicators of unsafe conditions. Always check ice conditions before venturing out onto the ice.

Playing the Pipes: Miller’s Music Continued from page 1 “It was a lot of fun,” says Miller. “If you don’t join pipe bands, you’re kind of limiting yourself. It’s hard to stay at home and only play solo. You might do the occasional funeral, ceremony or birthday, but it’s better if you can play both in a group and as an individual.” In addition to the RCMP Pipes and Drums and bands in Rivers, Manitoba and New Zealand, Miller has been a member of the Virden Army Cadet Pipe Band and the Royal Canadian Artillery Pipes and Drums, also in Manitoba. Miller owns both a large and a small set of bagpipes. “The full set is what most people play,” he says. “Typically, you don’t see a smaller set. But the small-

er set has a softer sound and it’s quieter, so it’s good for practicing at home.” “Basically, they require typical maintenance,” adds Miller. “The reeds need to be replaced and there’s other basic upkeep. But really, the more you play a set of pipes, the better it is for the instrument.” However, playing the pipes often holds its own set of challenges- especially weather-related ones. “There are definitely challenges,” he says. “I recently played at the Legion’s Bonspiel here in Carlyle. If you’re on the ice or outside on a cold day, that cold can freeze up the reeds. Rain isn’t good, either. If you can, the best thing to do is have someone hold an umbrella over you if you have to play in the rain.”

“Humidity is a real challenge in general,” he adds. “If the humidity changes enough, over time it will change the tone of the pipes.” “But as I said, the best thing you can do is play. The more you play, the better condition your pipes will be.” To that end, Miller is also teaching a local teenager to play the pipes. “I’ve taught a fair bit in Cadets,” he says. “I’m not a professional. There are five grades of piping. Grade one is a professional piper and grade five is a student. I’d say I’m midway in those rankings, but I’m happy to help someone who is interested in playing the bagpipes to get a start.”

“And for me, it’s another opportunity to play.” As a solo piper, Miller has played competitively and at events ranging from the celebratory to the somber. “I’ve played at Robbie Burns nights, at birthdays and anniversaries and I’ve also done Remembrance Day ceremonies and funerals,” he says. “Those happy events are a lot of fun and of course, funerals are kind of tough. But whatever the occasion is, there are a lot of people out there who get choked up by the sound of the bagpipes. It can be really emotional.” “Anywhere I go to play, someone always says, ‘Oh, I love the bagpipes.’ And that’s really rewarding for me.”

make: Should I participate in my employer’s group retirement plan? (Hint: Yes!) If so, how much should I contribute? How can I juggle saving for retirement with paying off student loans? These are the types of questions you can answer with the help of a financial advisor. When you’re saving for important goals Whether you’re saving for a down payment on your first home, or for your children’s post-secondary education, or for your own comfortable retirement, you’ll face many choices. A financial advisor – someone with experience in helping people work toward these goals – can assist

you in making the choices most appropriate for your individual situation. When you’re experiencing a personal “milestone” Like everyone, you’ll go through many major life events. Some will be joyful, such as marriage and the arrival of children, while others may be unpleasant or sad, such as divorce or the death of a loved one. But virtually all these events carry with them some type of financial component – establishing new investment accounts, purchasing sufficient insurance, naming and changing of beneficiaries, and so on. A financial advisor who truly

understands you and your needs can help you make appropriate moves for all your milestones. When you’re close to retirement As you near retirement, you’ll have several issues to consider: About how much income will you need each year? How much can you afford to withdraw annually from your retirement account? A financial advisor has the tools, training and experience to explore alternatives and suggest suitable moves for you. When you’re retired Even after you retire, you’ve got plenty to think about, in terms of financial moves. For one thing, you need to

When do you need a financial advisor?

Are you a “do-it-yourselfer”? If you can take care of home repairs, lawn work and other types of maintenance by yourself, you’ll save money and probably gain satisfaction. But you will almost certainly need some help in other areas of your life – one of which may be investing. In fact, you could benefit from the services of a professional financial advisor at several points in your life: When you’re starting out in your career When you land your first “career-type” job, you will have some financial decisions to

ensure that your investment portfolio provides you with both sufficient income for your desired lifestyle and adequate growth potential to help you stay ahead of inflation. What’s the correct balance of investments for your needs? Are there investments that can provide you with rising income without exposing you to undue risk? Once you’re retired, you just won’t get a lot of “do-overs,” so getting the right help is important.

If you’re a do-it-yourselfer, you may not get it right each and every time. But you won’t pay much of a price (except, perhaps in embarrassment) if that chair you built collapses under a stack of newspapers. However, you also know when it’s time to call in a professional – and that’s whom you need when it comes to building your financial future. So, get the assistance you need, when you need it, from a financial advisor. www.edwardjones.com

Prairie Sentinels: The story of grain elevators Tyler Bugg MELTIA NEW ERA cpocket@mts.net

On a trip across Western Canada and the US Great Plains, you will most likely find many grain elevators standing alongside rail tracks, often the tallest structure in many small agricultural towns. While many have long since been closed down and sold off, and many more having been torn down, the few that remain are still seen with pride by communities across Canada. One great example, and one of the oldest standing elevators in Canada is at Elva, built in 1892 by the Lake of the Woods Milling Company of Winnipeg. It was also operated by Ogilvie Milling Co. in 1954 after merging with Lake of the Woods, and sold to Manitoba Pool Elevators in 1959, but shut down in the 1960s, and sold to a private farmer to use as a granary. This was the fate of many old elevators across Canada, a sad end to one of the major symbols of agriculture and the country. While granary’s had been used since the earliest days of civilization to store food to feed people before the next years harvest was ready, it was for centuries still

very difficult to move grain. For example, the city of Buffalo, New York, prospered for years due to the number of boats that docked at it’s harbour to load and unload grain, passengers and other commercial products thanks to it’s position on the Great Lakes and the Erie Canal, which connected the Hudson River (and the Atlantic) to the Great Lakes. However, shipping grain at the time was a long, arduous process: all grain was shipped in bags, and it would require days, even a full week, to unload a single boat, all done physically by “stevedores,” or dock workers. By 1842, the backlog in grain shipments convinced Buffalo Merchant Joseph Dart, Jr. to try to find a better way, and with the held of engineer Robert Dunbar, they designed a steam powered grain elevator, which was up to seven times faster than the manual process used before. The first “Dart’s Elevator” was soon joined by more in an area of Buffalo known as “Elevator Row,” turning Buffalo into the largest grain storage area in the world. Other major shipping centers, including Churchill, Thunder Bay, Montreal, Halifax, and Vancouver, also built massive grain

The faster movement of grain from boats that carried it from Illinois and Indiana to elevators in Buffalo and back to boats that would then go to down the Erie Canal, Hudson River to

New York and the world beyond spurred more farmers further west and into Canada, who in turn built their own elevators, first along major rivers and, as the railways were built, alongside them, which further spurred more farmers and more grain elevators, creating a

Prairie Sentinels: The story of grain elevators Continued from page 8 This lead to times were the grain elevators could control the prices that farmers would be paid, and the owner’s ended up making huge profits. In the 1920s, three “wheat pools” were created as farmer-owned co-operatives in each province, and were quite successful in selling grain until the Great Depression forced them out of business, replaced by the Canadian Wheat Board in 1935. These farmer owned wheat pools would continue to run the elevators, and their names: Manitoba Pool, Saskatchewan Pool, and United Grain Growers can still be visible on older elevators today, some painted over their other owners, such as Lake of the Woods, Ogilvie, and Paterson, an example of

“ghost signs” in action. A major danger of these grain elevators was the risk of exploding and fire. Due to thousands of bushels of wheat, barley and other grains being run through the bins in the elevators, an incredible amount of dust would be kicked up. This dust was extremely flammable, and a single spark could cause the entire elevator to explode, burning the grain that is inside. For examples, the Manitoba Pool elevator in Waskada burned down in 1961, and the flames were hot enough to warp the steel train tracks right next to it; the United Grain Grower’s elevator in Medora burnt on December 20, 1980 (and an earlier elevator in 1910 literally burst apart!) Modern elevators are usually built out of concrete and steel, and

ventilation and circulation are major considerations to prevent such disasters from occurring again. In the 1920s, many of the elevator companies in the west began to merge, and elevators began to be shut down in smaller towns. With the decrease in the number of farmers, and the corresponding growth of the farms that remained, the old “grain crib” style elevators were slowly phased out:

some were sold to those farmers, such as the two in Napinka, sold in the 1980s, while others were simply abandoned, torn down, or otherwise destroyed. But many small towns in Canada stubbornly cling to the last of the “prairie sentinels.” Inglis, Manitoba, has maintained and restored their “elevator row,” being designated a National Heritage Site. There are five massive elevators of

some of the big companies of the past: Paterson, UGG, National Elevator, and Reliance, with their “double elevator.” But near the old Elva elevator is a modern, concrete and steel Cargill elevator built in 2000 by Agricore before being transferred to Cargill in 2007. Currently, with a 24,500 metric-tonne capacity, the elevator can fill 112 train cars from it’s storage, and in the

2015/16 season shipped 322,000 mt of grain, including wheat, canola, oats, soybeans and barely, going to destinations like Thunder Bay, Vancouver, Quebec and the United States. It’s a fitting tribute to the past that one of the biggest elevators in the area is near one of the oldest elevators in Canada, a major part of the rural economy much as the original elevators were in their time.

The Cargill Elva elevator, originally built in 2000, is just a few miles down the railway from the Lake of the Woods structure. Photo|Tyler Bugg

Just south of Reston, Manitoba located in the RM of Two Borders sits a quaint little farm owned by the Scheuerman family. The hobby farm is home to several different types of livestock including three different types of chickens, Guinea fowl, rabbits and pigs. Although the family loves all their animals when asked, Robin answered, “My chickens are my favourite because they give us eggs everyday! We have three different types of chickens: Americanus (which lay a sort of teal/ green eggs), white chickens that we saved from a slaughterhouse and brown chickens which we raised from day old chicks.” The family agrees that raising the chicks was by far their favourite experience. “Because they are absolutely so cute when they are small yellow fuzzy balls of feathers.” Robin and her family try to keep the hobby farm a family activity as much as possible. “Sometimes the kids do not like mucking out the barn stalls but honestly it’s not my favourite either.” Robin and her husband bought the

Animal Safety on the Farm With the final days of winter stretching into the first vestiges of spring, farming season can’t be too close behind. Farm owners and workers across the country are starting to ramp back up to full operating power, dusting off the machines and preparing for the industry’s busier seasons. This year, as part of National Farm Safety Week, March 14–20, the Canada Safety Council wants to remind farmers to be careful and attentive while out in the fields, especially when it comes to handling livestock. According to Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting, there have been 65 animal-related fatalities between 2003 and 2012, accounting for 8 per cent of all fatalities. This is the largest nonmachine-related factor in farm deaths. Of these fatalities, more than half involved horses, stallions

and colts, with another 45 per cent involving cows, bulls, steers and calves. Each animal is different, and has its own distinct personality and attitudes. Being familiar with the animal you’re handling is of paramount importance to reduce the risk. If you have a general sense of how an animal is expected to react, it will make it much easier to detect when something feels wrong or the animal is uncomfortable, anxious, or even aggressive. Additionally, take care to always operate efficiently calmly around animals. Many creatures will take their cue from you, the worker. If you’re agitated, nervous or tense, the animal will reciprocate. Being confident and calm will likely elicit these responses in return and make your task much easier. Horses are by nature

inclined to ignore their confines and seek to escape when startled or fighting amongst themselves. This makes it important to always ensure their enclosures are well kept. This includes high fences – at least 4.5 or 5 feet – to discourage any jumping attempts, as well as strongly reinforced fence posts that are sturdy and braced to resist any attempts by the horse to push on them. When attempting to lead a horse, always use a lead rope and halter. Do not attempt to lead a horse simply by holding the halter, especially not if the horse in question has a known bad temperament. Remaining to the side of the horse, rather than in front of it, will prevent getting trampled on. You should also take care not to lead a stallion past mares, as this may result in an agitated reaction that will make the

horse much more difficult to lead safely. Of the 55 per cent of horse-related fatalities, approximately one-third of them were non-workrelated, and often involved horseback riding. When riding, ALWAYS wear a helmet. Exercise caution when a horse is exhibiting any of the following behaviours: • Swishing its tail. This means irritation. Often times, this behavior is exhibited when there are bugs nearby, but the animal could just as easily be irritated with you. • Ears flat against the head. This signals aggression. Ears that are peaked forward indicate that the horse is focused on something ahead of it, while ears that are peaked backward indicate there’s something behind the animal that has piqued its interest. In all cases, exercise caution.

• Tense body. If the horse is tense, it’s because it’s on alert and unsure of something. If it’s tense and has its leg cocked, it could be taking aim at something. Watch out. Alternatively, if its leg is cocked but its muscles are not tense, the animal may just be resting. When dealing with cattle, it’s important to remember above all that they are herd animals. This naturally provides a problem for dairy bulls, who are often kept in isolation by necessity and can result in negative behaviour patterns being formed. When it’s possible, limit the time in which the cattle are separated from their herd. Keep the herd nearby if you absolutely have to move the animal. The most important things to avoid around cattle are loud noises and sudden movements, espe-

cially near the rear of the animal. Instinctively, a cow will kick back and to its sides, in an area known as its kick zone, to defend itself. Avoid this by approaching the animal at its shoulder and using a low, confident tone to speak to it or to others. Be aware of the animals’ positioning. When multiple bulls share a common area, they establish a hierarchy of sorts. A bull may bolt unexpectedly to avoid the superior animal. Awareness is the key so you can avoid putting yourself in such a circumstance. Farm-related fatalities typically start trending upward around April, making it that much more important to be aware of safety issues early and to educate yourself on them often. Happy farming!

Seed of the Year West Seed of the Year West is pleased to announce that Strongfield was selected as 2016-17 winner. Strongfield was developed by Dr. John Clarke and the wheat breeding team at AAFC Swift Current. Stongfield was available for the first time as Certified seed for the 2006 season. By 2007 it was the number one durum in acres in western Canada. At its peak (2011) Strongfield held two thirds of all durum acres in western Canada. The commercial launch of Strongfield came at a critical time when the Canadian market was under pressure from Europe to reduce cadmium concentration in durum exports. Strongfield was the first commercially successful durum variety with low cadmium, essentially saving the Canadian durum industry from potential European non-tariff trade barriers related to heavy metals in food products. “Strongfield has been SeCan’s number one selling durum for the last 10 years, and up until 2016 was still the number one durum in western Canada,” said Todd Hyra Business Manager, Western Canada SeCan. “The fact it has maintained a large acreage for so long, and the fact that newest durum

varieties have Strongfield in their parentage demonstrates the impact that the variety has had on the market from breeding programs right to the durum grower. Products like this don’t come around very often –Strongfield is certainly a very worthy winner of Seed of the Year.” Seed of the Year is designed to provide recognition seed varieties that have made a significant contribution to the economy, agriculture, and the Canadian public in general. Although the name, Seed of the Year, indicates the contribution in a particular year, the program is much broader reaching and considers total lifetime achievement and contribution. Seed of the Year believes it is important to recognize the value of our plant breeding programs, as well as encourage the entry of new plant breeders to the industry. This year due to added sponsorships, Seed of the Year West was able to offer two $4000 scholarships to students enrolled in a western Canadian university and currently completing a Masters or PhD in plant breeding or genetics. Azam Nikzad, a PhD candidate and plant breeder at the University of Alberta and James Tucker a PhD

candidate at the University of Manitoba and barley pathology for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada were selected as these year’s scholarship recipients by Dr. John Clarke. “I am very proud to have the support of the sponsors of this scholarship. Recognition of my research as a winner for Seed of the Year scholarship is very encouraging for me to get closer to my goals.” - Azam Nikzad “I am very honoured to receive this award and am grateful for the confidence that the seed industry has in me.” - James Tucker The Seed of the Year award was presented at the Prairie Grain Development Recognition Luncheon in Winnipeg. Seed of the Year West would also like to acknowledge its sponsors: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Alberta Barley, Alberta Wheat Commission, Canterra Seeds, Cargill, Canadian Seed Growers Association, Canadian Seed Trade Association, FP Genetics, CPS Canada, Richardson International, SeCan, Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission and the Western Grains Research Foundation. We also wish to thank the judges and other applicants.

Riding horses - a full time job Dolores Caldwell RESTON RECORDER recorder@mts.net

In 2013, Laurie Renwick of Lauder decided to build at 60’ x 152’ arena and began boarding, training and giving riding lessons at their farm. “After we had children, it was hard to get into daycare, so I decided to quit my job and start riding horses more,” said Renwick. “I built the arena for the chance to ride during the winter or on raining days. Sometimes, I would end up with 3-4 days where I couldn’t ride because of the weather. With the change in operations of Taylor Auctions, where I previously worked, I was forced to ask myself – what was I was going to do? That’s when I decided to build the arena. I wish I had done it earlier. It has made work-

ing around the weather a non-issue and made something I truly love into a full time job.” Laurie lives and farms near the Lauder Sandhills with Randy Duthie and their children Makayla and Alex. The riding arena isn’t heated, just being out of the wind in the winter and having good footing has made things so much easier. Laurie rides between 5-6 horses a day all winter and usually 7-8 in the summer. Presently, Laurie has four riding horses and five young horses to be trained. “My numbers are always changing with buying and selling horses,” explained Renwick. “I prefer quarter horses and paints but ride a variety of horse breeds. I have a couple of clients with Arabian crosses and some hunter jumpers from warmbloods

to thoroghbreds. Laurie gives riding lessons and prefers her students to be at least 5-yearsold and up, to adults. “I have two lesson horses and have a few students that board their horses here for the winter in order to take lessons and have somewhere out of the snow to ride.” Laurie and her daughter Makayla, compete at local fairs in the summer. “I’m usually hauling young horses to get them out and exposed to things and then Makayla steals the broke horses on me,” stated Renwick. “Most of my students take their horses home to their own farms for the summer months and continue riding at home, there are a few that take lessons year round and some that only come when they are having an issue with their horse.” Laurie does

I have different obstacles the students can ride over in order to learn to move their horse’s body with their legs, not just pulling and yanking the horse,” said Renwick. “It helps the riders develop skills as well as keeping them interested while they are learning. SAV Final Answer 0035 • SAV Bismarck 5682 Most of what I have learned is from watching SAV 707 Rito 1439 videos or taking clinics with numerous clinicians over the years as well as just being self-taught.” “Each horse is different and learns at their own pace, some catch onto things quick; the next can try your patience everyday you work with them. They are a lot like people, you just have to find a way to get them to figure things out. It’s mostly about gaining their trust.” If someone wants to purchase a horse, she usually tells them to take some lessons first to figure out whether you or your child really wants to ride. “It’s not as easy as most people think and horses are not a cheap investment. It’s one thing to purchase the horse but the boarding, tack and health care is another,” said Renwick. “Most horses can’t be ridden a couple of times a year and be good, it takes dedication on the part of the rider to continue to ride and care for their horse. It’s not like having a cat or dog, horses need FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT DEVON 1-204-747-4371 • HARTNEY, MB to be worked and used.” Continued on page 19

Riding horses a full time job

Laurie Renwick Continued from page 18 “I have rode horses since I was 2-and-half years old; my brother Wayne and I spent most summer days riding. My parents tell stories about things the horses did to me that would turn most kids away, but I got back on. My first young horse to train was purchased from Karen Wheelans when I was 13-years-old and that was the start of my training days. I didn’t know a lot then about training a horse but I joined 4-H and showed that horse as a 2-yearold,” said Renwick. “Once I was older and had a full time job, I kept training a couple horses for

myself and started taking horses from a few people to train. Dan and Heather Meggison were one of my first clients, they were raising PMU horses and needed someone to ride some of their young horses. I learned a lot from Dan and got the experience to ride a lot of horses from them. Laurie trail rides a lot through the sandhills and if someone wants to come for a ride, she doesn’t mind the company. She is one of very few people that can honestly say that she loves her job. For more information on riding lessons, call Laurie Renwick at 204576-3769.

Above normal flows expected in SE Sask Today, the Water Security Agency released the March 2017 Spring Runoff Forecast. The majority of the province is looking at a near normal spring runoff with the exception of southeastern Saskatchewan and areas west of Hudson Bay where above normal flows are expected. The two areas of concern are in the extreme southeast corner of the province where above normal snowfall and wetter-than-normal fall moisture conditions are creating an above normal runoff potential. The heaviest snowpack is located below Rafferty and Alameda reservoirs and near the Manitoba border. This is also an area that was wetter than normal at freezeup in 2016. Unless conditions are favourable leading up to and during the spring melt, well above normal flows are expected. The recent snowstorm this week will add slightly to these areas but not have a major impact. While out-of-channel flows are expected, significant flood damages are

not expected unless conditions significantly change leading up to and/or during the spring melt. The other area of concern is the Red Deer River Basin located southwest of Hudson Bay. Well above normal moisture conditions in the fall of 2016 combined with a near normal snowpack is expected to result in above normal flows on the Red Deer River. Much of the province experienced well above seasonal temperature episodes in January and February resulting in snowmelt and runoff in February. The area south of Biggar and west of Avonlea saw the complete melt of the snowpack in mid-February. Snowmelt runoff is either completed or nearing completion within this area. With a mountain snowpack that is currently near normal, conditions are expected to be near normal throughout the Saskatchewan River System over the next six months, assuming normal conditions going forward. While Lake

Diefenbaker is currently at an above normal level for this time of year, it will be returned to near normal levels prior to the end of May. While below normal or near normal runoff has been observed or is expected over a large portion of the province, most water supply reservoirs were at or above normal levels in the fall of 2016. Consequently, surface water supplies across the province are expected to be adequate in 2017. Reservoirs which were below normal levels in 2016, namely Nickel Lake and Boundary Reservoir, are expected to be replenished by snowmelt runoff. Water Security Agency will continue to monitor the 2017 spring runoff conditions across Saskatchewan, which may include further targeted snow surveys to verify snow accumulations. If warranted, further updates will be issued as the spring runoff progresses. For more stream flows and lake levels information visit www. wsask.ca.
