Letter to the Editor

Annual General Meeting

The Importance of a Library Dear Editor,

am writing this letter to help our provincial government understand the importance of a library in our community. The library is a safe place for people of all ages to take out materials for use at home, school or business at no cost to the individual. Audio books are used by many when they are travelling or at home. DVD's can be requested and borrowed and help provide entertainment and education. Magazines are available as well as graphic novels. Books for all ages and all interest levels are either in the local library or can be requested and delivered to the local library. Computers are available for public use.

Programs for young and old are arranged throughout the year. The Wheatland Regional Library website makes available many newspapers, magazines, educational sites, repair manuals and more. People use the local library and it is important that they remain viable. Provincial funding is the main funding for public libraries. Our local municipal governments help with regional funding and the local library in Delisle is reliant on major funding from the town of Delisle. The library in Delisle is very much a part of our community. I enjoy all the services that our local library provides and hope for continued and increased support from the provincial government.

Food for Thought

You Are So Lucky

t happens regularly that someone tells me that I have been lucky. I guess I have had my share of luck along with some setbacks as well. I live in a retirement home and can say with certainty that the other residents have been lucky as well. This wide swath of luck needs some explanation. Talk to these folks leads to tails of hard work, persistence, many years of dedicated effort and making luck happen. The efforts started as young people and extended throughout their life. Success

C.M. (Red) Williams

comes through effort and capturing the lucky breaks when they occur. For those starting out on their careers, take note that breaks will occur but you have to be dedicated to be in a position to capture the lucky occasions. Success doesn’t come by wishful thinking. Rather, one takes a path and stays the course. Life isn’t a matter of waiting for good luck.

COUNCIL REPORTS

TOWN OF ASQUITH

www.rmreview.net

squith Town Council held its regular council meeting on February 10, 2016. Attending were Mayor Gail Erhart, Councillors Sue Sawicki, Garry Dumont, Ross Beal, Don Lysyshyn, Leen Van Marion, C.A.O. Holly Cross and Foreman Darren Kraft. Council made the motion to accept the January 13, 2016 regular council minutes and the January 20, 2016 special meeting minutes as presented. The treasurer's statement of receipts and expenditures for January, 2016 and the December 2015 bank reconciliations were accepted as presented. A motion was made to accept accounts paid of $22,063.89 and accounts payable of $24,425.97 as presented to council. Resolution was also made to pay $300.00 for the C.A.O.'s Commissioner for Oaths and Notary Public appointments. David Logue was hired as the Town's new public works casual employee. Council remuneration per council meeting for Councillors has gone from fifty dollars ($50.00) per meeting to seventy-five dollars ($75.00), and the remuneration for the Mayor has gone from seventy-five dollars ($75.00) to one hundred dollars ($100.00). Permission was given to the Asquith B.L.R.A. to install a shed between the Senior Center and the Town office for storage purposes. This office would like to remind all residents of Asquith and community of Section g) of Bylaw No. 2/95 respecting Snowmobiles (this clause also pertains to four wheel/off road vehicles). This section states that owners and operators of snowmobiles can use the following streets as an access or exit ONLY, to the town limits - Railway Avenue, Mather Avenue, Charles Street, and all back lanes. One can cross any other street only for the purpose of crossing said street. An operator of a snowmobile or a four-wheeler may not exceed 20 km/hr while using the access routes to the town limits. No snowmobiles or four-wheelers may be operated within the town limits between the hours of 10 pm and 8 am. Asquith Town Council asks everyone to please follow this bylaw, as the alternative is that all recreational vehicles, i.e. snowmobiles and four-wheelers, will have to be trailered in and out of Town for recreation in the country side.

B & E in Langham February 23, 2016 at 5:30 p.m. Police received a complaint of break, enter and theft from a residence in Langham. The caller reported that someone entered his apartment and stole a number of small items. Police attended the scene and obtained a statement from the owner of the residence. Investigation into this matter is ongoing.

Here is the first one. Have you encountered a stray dog while out walking? Did you find the situation intimidating? How about when you were a child, walking to school or to a friend’s house, and you happened on a dog that you didn’t know, one that was twice your size and there was no one else around, specifically the dog’s owner. Do you recall having those experiences? How did that encounter affect you, and has that feeling you felt changed inside you since you became an adult? I suggest the answer is “yes, I was intimidated, I was fearful and still harbour some of those fears today”. So today when you encounter a stray dog along one of our rural roads it can be a frightening experience. More so, if you had a similar experience as a child. I have received many complaints involving dogs running at large in the RM since assuming my duties last May. These complaints are usually about stray dogs meeting children walking to school. This situation has occurred several times in the Hamlet of Pippen. Similarly, I have had complaints from adults out walking their own dogs, or walking alone to a neighbours, encountered a dog that scared them. This has caused them to find another route or turn around and go home. This situation is unfortunate and at some point causes me to become involved because the individual has reached the stage where they have no other option but to call me.

Read a New RCMP Report Every Week at www.rmreview.net Deadly Crash on Highway 16 near Langham Claims Three Lives

On February 22, 2016 a collision between a semi car hauler and a half-ton truck resulted in the deaths of three people. There were 7 people traveling in the half-ton truck.

No charges have been laid, RCMP expect it could be many weeks to determine what happened.

Train Rips Semi Trailer in Half on Highway 7 near 11th Street

$1 Million in Stolen Property Found at Donavon Farm On February 11, 2016 Saskatoon RCMP General Investigation Services charged a 38 year old man from Donavon after finding over $1 million in stolen property on his farm.

CHIEF’S CORNER

n this month’s instalment of Chief’s Corner I thought we would do something different which I hope you will enjoy and find very informative. Entitled “Did you Know?” I pose a series of scenarios for you to think about and see whether you know the legal answer for.

March 2016

This leads me to the “Did You Know” part of today’s quiz. Did you know that the Rural Municipality of Vanscoy has a By-Law in place for dogs that run at large? The answer is “yes”. The By-Law is appropriately called “The Dogs Who Run at Large By-Law”. This By-law was enacted by the RM Council to ensure ratepayers who own dogs are responsible for them and keep their beloved pets on their own property. Like the old saying; “good fences make good neighbours”, I also believe “good dog owners make good neighbours”. I know many of you are thinking, “My dog wouldn’t harm a fly”; or “My dog is friendly”. Most people who move here to live on a farm or acreage made this choice to live a more free and idyllic lifestyle. This often translates to their dogs as well. Unfortunately, your neighbour does not always share those feeling with you and having your dogs bothering them is not something they appreciate or want on their property or roadways. Another issue with dogs who run at large involves encounters with other animals, in particular cows. Under the Bovine Species Act, a rancher is within his rights to shoot a dog that has repeatedly entered his pasture and chased his cattle. This Act was in no way written to simply give the rancher carte blanche authority to shoot any dog found roaming in his pasture. I hope the rancher would not resort to this tactic as his first option, but would first take the time to contact the dog’s owner to let them know this activity is occurring and explain why this activity negatively affects their cattle. If that solution doesn’t work then contact the Chief, and let me handle it with the Dogs at Large By-Law. Within that authority the Chief can issue a ticket to the offending dog owner. The ticket starts at $75 for the first offence, but the amount grows substantially

Around 3:00pm February 23, 2016 a train ripped a semi trailer in half at a crossing on Highway 7 between 11th Street and 22nd Street in Saskatoon. The highway was closed in both directions for several hours.

By Sgt. Murray McCracken RM of Vanscoy Police Chief for each subsequent offence. Since I assumed my duties for the RM of Vanscoy, I have only issued a couple of these tickets, and I always begin with at least one warning! In each case, where a ticket was issued to the owner of a dog was understanding and accepted the consequences. They also made changes to ensure their dog was no longer running at large. Another issue involves dogs that like to howl at the moon all night with the coyotes. We have a resolution for that problem as well. The By-law is found under the RM of Vanscoy Nuisance By-Law. This all-encompassing By-law covers many topics in relation to maintaining your residence in a safe and clean manner and does not prevent your neighbour from enjoying their own property. It also applies to noise. Barking dogs, especially at night, are considered by many to be noise, especially if you are kept up all night by the dog that is left outside or at home alone, and is continually barking. This By-law allows the Chief the option to issue a fine to the offending property/dog owner if the barking problem cannot be controlled and continues. Let me know what you think about this month’s format for the Chief’s Corner. This may become a regular part of the Chief’s Corner if I receive enough positive feedback. I have countless other areas of the law which I can share with you. If you want to reach the Chief e-mail at: vanscoyrmpolice@gmail.com Stay safe and be good to your neighbours.

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL

DELISLE COMPOSITE

We have returned to our academic studies refreshed after our February break!! We are sure to be in agreement that the warm weather and abundant sunshine is helping to motivate us to enjoy the outdoors! Everyone is excited about the upcoming Scholastic “Monster” Book Fair that is taking place this month! It is a great event that is eagerly anticipated by students and parents alike! Students can hardly wait to get into the fair and choose their special books to share with their siblings, parents and grandparents! Parents and community folk love the opportunity to purchase some great quality books at a fantastic price and even visit with their neighbours! Our whole library is wonderfully decorated with monsters big and small and lurking everywhere! Don’t let this year’s theme scare you away as all the monsters in our school are friendly, helpful, energetic and great readers! There will be two evening viewing times for anyone and everyone to support this awesome fundraiser - Thursday, March 3rd and Tuesday, March 8th. The hours of opening for both evenings will be from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. There are not only monster books, but a wide variety of genres for children, young adults and adults. We encourage you to come join in this monstrous amount of fun and to help support this sole fundraiser for our school library! All monies earned allows us to order new books for our library so we can continue to have reading monsters everywhere! Not only will we have monsters in our school, we will soon be looking for the leprechauns leaping around our school! We will surely set out our leprechaun trap again this year with the hopes of catching the little green fella to bring us some good Irish luck! We will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a Hot Meal and dressing in everything green! Our singing voices and energetic bodies will likely turn orange with all the action we will be giving them when Singing with Sylvia entertains our school this month! Sylvia will be sure to keep us laughing, singing and moving as we learn new songs with plenty of action! Always a fun time with this local songstress and we can hardly wait to be a part of her wild energy! It should be noted that we don’t always play around in our school! We are active daily with our studies and that will be demonstrated in our progress reports which are soon to be distributed. Discussions and interviews about our reports will follow with parents and guardians soon after! That will culminate this month of diligent schoolwork and activities before we head out on Easter Break! It’s great to have the longer daylight as we drive to school and work in the morning! We hope you enjoyed Family Day with those you love and are keeping active with this wonderful weather! Glorious Easter tidings to everyone!

Here we are in March already. I hope you didn't blink and miss February! The 4-year olds were fortunate to be at school on Groundhog Day so we made little groundhogs popping up out of paper cup holes. Poems and games helped them remember what happens when the groundhog sees his shadow and what happens when he doesn't. Fortunately this year, he didn't see his shadow and the weather has certainly proved him right! The 4-year olds also spent a day learning a little bit about dinosaurs. Our classroom has a few snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. The students made these on Number 6 Day using 6 Q-tip halves and a lot of glue! The 2 classes joined together for a Valentine's Party where they had a lot of fun playing with old and new friends. Things got a little hectic and at times it was hard to believe there were only 8 kids in the room! We will finish off the month with Pink Day where the 3's will make snails and the 4's will make flamingoes. While March seems like a longer month, the three days the 3-year olds are at school will consist of 2 parties St. Patrick's/Green Day and Easter, and a number day. The 4-year olds have a few more days so we will do a theme on vehicles. This is a fun one where they get to make hot air balloons, trains, and boats that hopefully float! I hope Irish luck is with you on St. Patrick's Day and that you have an enjoyable Easter season!

I often wish that everyone could spend a day in my shoes and see the many great things that I see in this school by both our students and staff. Our students accomplish so much from accolades for achievements in band, achievements in sports, to the many important life lessons learned from daily life including service to others. There is so much to be proud of and there is so much that we all learn everyday along with the school work that we do. We are going to start telling some of these stories and sharing the accomplishments of our students on our webpage to give everyone that opportunity to see and hear these great things about these students. We are in our third week of the second semester and are looking forward to the Student/Parent/Staff Interviews on Tuesday, March 22 at the school. These interviews are very early in the semester, but are still a great opportunity to meet with the Staff and discuss the education of your child. Please feel free to contact staff members regarding meeting with them and we will be using the online sign up process again. There will be further information sent out regarding the sign up process as we get closer to the date. Our time in March will be short because of the holiday at the end of the month, but it will be busy. Our ski trip is on March 3 and all students not going on the trip are expected to be at school for the day. Our Senior Basketball Teams will both have playoffs and I thank them for how they have represented our school all season. Our Grade 8's will be preparing for their Heritage Fair to be held on March 23 and we will all be preparing for Interviews on the 22. Our Grade 12's will spend a week, March 14 to 18, at their work placements with no regular classes held for them at the school. It will be busy and there will be a lot to be proud of again.

Here is a list of upcoming events for our school: March 1 to 10 – Scholastic “Monster” Book Fair March 3 & 8 – Public Viewing of Book Fair March 9 – Singing with Sylvia March 16 – Green Day - Hot Meal March 18 - Report Cards March 22 & 23 - Interviews March 24 – NO SCHOOL Day in Lieu of Interviews March 25 – NO SCHOOL Good Friday March 28 to April 3 – NO SCHOOL Easter Break

DELISLE ELEMENTARY Delisle Elementary has had a lot of things happen lately! For Hot Meal, we dressed up formally and had mac & cheese and hot dogs for lunch. We had a lot of volunteers and the hot meal was really good. The Blades game at Sasktel Centre was awesome. We learned a lot of things about respect. The Blades won 6-5 and it was a great game. Author David Bouchard came and taught us about how to always read. If you don’t, you don’t get education and then that path is closed. He writes a lot about First Nations. He played his flute collection which was awesome. The puppet show was amazing. We learned a lot about sharing. Rabbit and Bear Paw are some funny puppets. The Grade 6’s are going skiing on March 3. We are going to Table Mountain. We are going to have an amazing time at Table Mountain. Please hope everyone is going to be safe and not get hurt. By Tori T. and Brysyn S.

CONSUMER’S CORNER KEEP YOUR INSURANCE UPDATED

The best time to review and understand your insurance coverage is before "shtuff" happens. Ignoring your insurance for years, not communicating with your broker on a regular basis about your life changes or hoping something doesn't happen to you and your family is not wise. You may not enjoy insurance (or going to the dentist or doctor!) but that doesn't mean you can simply ignore it .. otherwise, you could be in for an unexpected surprise when you actually need to use that piece of paper (insurance) that you paid for. Insurance must be constantly updated to reflect changes in your life and a strong insurance program is built on regular communication with your broker. Your insurance may have been in place for some time, and this might be a good time to take a look at your current exposure to loss to be certain your insurance program still meets your needs. Honest and open communication with your insurance broker is critical (Utmost Good Faith is the base principle of every insurance contract). The following changes must be addressed immediately with your insurance broker: 1) Your property becomes Vacant, Rented or Unoccupied (as defined by your policy)

2) Mortgage lender is changed or paid out, including any changes to your property title 3) You perform renovations (such as finish the basement) or new construction at your property 4) You operate a business or day care 5) You accept boarders, renters or tenants in your home or seasonal property 6) You purchase property items such as expensive jewellery, bicycles, art & antiques or any special items that will require special insurance 7) You purchase an ATV, Utility Vehicle or watercraft (at minimum we recommend adding Liability extensions for your toys) Mooney Agencies is an independent insurance broker, working for you rather than an insurance company or financial institution. We will properly assess your general insurance needs, shop for the best value in coverage and help you in the event of a claim.

SPRING IS COMING, ARE YOU READY TO BUY ? HERE iS A HoME BUyiNG CHECKLiSt • Decide how much you want to spend • Check your credit reports to find out your status Often times if you know what is negatively impacting your credit you can look into correcting it so it is not a hurdle with the lenders. • Get an idea of how much you can borrow REALTORS can often help steer clients to the right lender and know of some options that might be available to clients, so you may want to start there. • Shop for a mortgage lender Look for the best rates and terms that work for you. The best rates may not be the best for you in the long run. • Find a real estate Agent Agents are for the most part paid by the Seller so no fees are charged to the Buyer. Ask around to your friends or family members who have had experiences with Agents and may have a suggestion. There are sites that rate Agents based on client reviews such as Real Satisfied and you can see for yourself what experiences people have had. • Consider getting preapproved for a loan This is a time and heart break saver. By looking at the properties you can afford you have realistic properties that you can afford. The preapproval also helps with negotiations as the lender is ready to back an offer you make which takes less time. It also gives you an advantage over another Buyer that may be pursuing the same property.

• Research the neighborhoods Investigate issues like schools, local services, amenities and other important issues to you. • Make a list of features you want Create two lists; wants and needs. • Go house hunting! Call your Agent and together go through potential homes and set times to view them.

AGRICULTURE REPORTS

Soil Testing

proper soil test can be a valuable tool when developing a fertilizer program. Knowing the amount of fertilizer inputs required based on the actual level of nutrients present in the soil can not only help farmers achieve optimal yields but also save money. Without a soil test, nutrient levels are estimated and therefore may lead to incorrect blends or over application. Furthermore, in an age where technology has allowed for more data than ever before to be collected on the farm, soil tests can be used along with other data such as yield maps and field notes to help make management decisions and increase efficiencies. Taking soil samples in the spring will provide you the most current information on soil conditions and nutrient availability prior to planting. Samples can generally be taken anytime once the snow melts as long as soil conditions are dry enough to take a proper sample and/or frost layers are no longer a problem. In order to get a good idea of soil fertility in a field, a truly representative sample must be taken. To do this a composite sample needs to be collected with at least 15 cores per field. It is important that proper soil sampling tools

such as a probe or auger are used and that any mixing is done in a clean plastic bucket as to avoid any contamination. The definition of a field is typically one that is farmed as a single unit with similar management history. For example, manured versus non-manured should be considered separate fields. Furthermore, fields that are larger than 160 acres or have a diverse landscape should be split into separate parcels. After sampling, the soil must be handled correctly to ensure the quality is preserved until it is tested at a laboratory. Samples should be kept out of direct sunlight and kept cool but not frozen prior to shipment. Furthermore, it is best if samples can be delivered to the laboratory as soon as possible. If samples are received within 48 hours, they do not need to be dried beforehand. If this is not possible, samples can be dried by spreading the soil on plastic or paper in an area at room temperature. Lastly, it is important that all samples are accompanied with the appropriate laboratory information. Most labs will request certain information such as past crop and stubble management. Soil tests can provide a lot of information about the

field. Most labs offer basic packages that include available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulphur testing as well as soil texture and pH. Additional analysis can also include organic matter, micronutrients, base saturation, and more. It is crucial to remember that the accuracy of the analysis will depend on the quality of the soil sample taken and site information provided. That is why the key to good sample results is following proper soil sampling and handling guidelines. Most soil reports also include nutrient recommendations but some laboratories will use different analysis techniques than others. Therefore, when choosing a laboratory it is important to ask if their methods and recommendations are specific to the Prairie region as this will affect the correctness of the recommendations. Recommendations can also be tailored by qualified crop advisors to more specifically fit the farmer’s knowledge of management history and yield potential. ALS Environmental offers a wide range of agriculture soil analysis with methods and recommendations based on research specific to the Prairie region.

Why You Should Test Well Water

askatchewan has an abundance of natural resources including uranium, base metals, precious metals, oil, potash and sulfate salts. All of these resources contain some components that can be harmful to human beings when ingested. They exist underground and so are isolated from human contact. Over man years, erosion can expose these resources to the atmosphere above ground. With development and use of our natural resources the constituents, by-products and processing chemicals used to extract these resources can become part of the human environment. As well, the glaciers that covered most of Saskatchewan in recent history and shaped much of our current topography carried rocks and debris containing some of these resources from the north to northern, central and southern Saskatchewan. The top layers of glacial debris and rocks then broke down into sand, silt and soil through erosion, ultimately creating Saskatchewan’s fertile agricultural landscape. Water exists in many forms on and underneath the surface of the earth. Rain, streams and snow melt percolate into the ground, seeping through

and into the various layers of soil and debris, becoming groundwater. As the water moves underground, it slowly absorbs constituents from the surrounding material. Given the abundance of natural resources in Saskatchewan it is natural that our groundwater often contains high levels of contaminants, such as dissolved salts, uranium and other heavy metals. The rain, streams and snow melt that percolate into the earth to become groundwater also carry contaminants from the surface. The type of soil plays a large factor in the rate of water infiltration. Water moving through sandy soils percolates into the ground much quicker that water moving through heavy clays. Agricultural activities in Saskatchewan can contribute significant contaminants such as herbicides and pesticides. Livestock operations can contribute nitrates and bacteria. Oil and gas activities can contribute hydrocarbons. Industrial processes can contribute other contaminants. Well water is often the only source of water for many people in Saskatchewan. It is used in the home for drinking, for watering livestock and pets, crops and gardens.

Possible contaminants in well water would be dissolved salts and heavy metals. Older large bore wells, shallow wells and those that are poorly sealed or contain sediment can suffer from surface water infiltration carrying contaminants such as nitrates, bacteria, herbicides and pesticides, and other contaminants from surrounding runoff areas. ALS Environmental is located in both Saskatoon and Regina and we offer a complete suite of analytical options for testing your water samples, including heavy metals, dissolved salts, nitrates, bacteria, hydrocarbons, herbicides and pesticides. We supply specific sampling containers and instructions for each of these tests free of charge from our laboratory in Saskatoon and our service center in Regina. Results are typically reported within 1 week but can be reported more quickly as needed. Call 1-306-6688370 for more information or to order your free supplies.

MP REPORT

Kelly Block, MP

he Liberal government ended the combat mission of Canada’s CF-18 fighter aircraft in Iraq and Syria and are redefining the nature of the engagement. Over the past year, air strikes from coalition forces, including Canada, have limited ISIS to 25% of the territory it once held. Lester Pearson once said that whether Canadians fire a rifle in Korea or in Europe, they are protecting people at home themselves. These ISIS terrorists are not mere thugs. They are a death cult that has declared war on the civilized world, including Canada. Their soldiers have reportedly turned chemical weapons on civilians. They have slaughtered and dispossessed many thousands of innocents for the crime of belonging to ethnic or religious minorities, whether it is Christians, Yazidis, Turkmen, Shia, Shabak, the list of their victims go on and on. In light of the success air strikes have had over the past year, I am forced to ask why we have fighter aircraft at all, if not for the purpose of protecting innocent civilians from clear and present danger. If our fighter aircraft aren’t used for this type of mission, then which mission would they be? Canada’s CF-18s destroyed over 300 military targets and the threat imposed by their presence have undeniably held back further advances by ISIS. All parties acknowledge the positive impact our pilots and aircraft have had over the past year, yet Prime Minister Trudeau’s Liberals are ending this bombing campaign while other nations are stepping theirs up. The redefined Iraq and Syria mission will encompass the following: · Increase Canada’s complement of military personnel to approximately 830, up from approximately 650; · Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel will be deployed at various Global Coalition headquarters to further support Coalition members and Iraqi security forces in the planning and execution of military operations. More specifically they will provide high-demand expertise in the areas of operational planning, targeting and intelligence; · Maintain the current air contribution of one CC-150 Polaris aerial refuelling

February 5, 2016 aircraft and up to two CP-140 Aurora aerial surveillance aircraft, along with associated aircrew and support personnel. These aircraft will continue to conduct operations throughout the Coalition theatre; · Triple the size of its train, advise and assist mission to help Iraqi security forces plan and conduct military operations against ISIL. As part of this mission the government will also; - Deploy CAF medical personnel to provide training to Iraqi security forces in the conduct of casualty management in a battlefield context as well as to provide medical support to CAF personnel and our partners; - Provide equipment such as small arms, ammunition and optics to assist in the training of Iraqi security forces. The provision of such equipment will be carried out in accordance with Canadian and international law, including the Law of Armed Conflict; and; - Examine ways to enhance in-theatre tactical transport. I believe that withdrawing our CF-18 aircraft is ideologically inconsistent because on one hand, this government is withdrawing our CF-18 aircraft, yet is leaving refueling and reconnaissance aircraft to directly assist the combat fighters of other nations. There is no reason why Canada cannot increase our ongoing and long-running humanitarian and diplomatic efforts in the region and our training of local troops on the ground, as the government says it will do, while continuing to bomb the enemy and halt their progress. These are not contradictory measures but complementary measures. Whenever the free nations of the world have confronted tyranny and oppression, Canada has been at the fore. From Vimy Ridge to the beaches of Normandy, from Kapyong to the Medak Pocket, from the Persian Gulf to the Panjwai district, when the cause is just, Canadians have never turned away. Therefore, our Conservative opposition will continue to ask the tough questions about the government's plan on behalf of Canadians. That is why we will continue to ask, again and again, is this not a fight worth fighting for?

Giant Murals at the “Brit”

ormer Asquith Mayor, Jim Maddin (and former Saskatoon Mayor for that matter) moved to Asquith in 2007. Three years later he decided to open a restaurant in Asquith and wanted it to reflect the British heritage of the Town. After all, Asquith is the “centre of the British Empire”. The Union Jack in his logo, and the Britannia name accomplish this goal, and his signature British Style Fish & Chips are making the Brit famous in the RM of Vanscoy and beyond. They have a following of regular customers from Saskatoon to Biggar and Delisle to Langham.

“We have been able to firmly establish ourselves as a family restaurant in Asquith”, says Maddin, “and we attract many people to our town”. The Brit is located on Main Street Asquith in a building over 100 years old, and has a nice homey atmosphere. After 6 years in this location, Jim decided he should do something to freshen-up the restaurant. He was familiar with Jamie McColl, a very talented local artist, and brought him in to do the job. Jamie has created many works around Saskatoon as well as other places in Canada.

Famous Fish & Chips

Stop in to see our Giant New Murals

They decide on a series of giant murals that featured the Brit’s most popular menu items. Each mural is approximately 14 feet by 6 feet and the series completely spans 2 walls of the dining area. The Britannia is open for business daily from 9am 8pm, with a short closing from 2pm-4pm in the afternoons and is closed on Tuesdays for a day off. As well, Sunday hours are shortened to 5pm-8pm, but on many Sundays they will be open for an advertised Sunday Brunch special.

One mural displays the famous ‘Brit” hamburgers

The Brit also hosts various special holiday meals such as Valentine’s Day Brunch, Mother’s Day Dinner, Easter Brunch, Father’s Day BBQ... keep your eye out for these special promotions each month in the RM Review. “We employ local staff, thanks to the support of our customers”, says Maddin, “and we look forward to continuing to provide the community with great quality food for years to come”.
