Blackstrap development includes golf course

O

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express

n a hill overlooking the northeastern corner of Blackstrap Lake, you can make out the slopes and curves of a golf course being etched from the rolling geography.

The course will stretch over 3,750 yards, possibly the longest nine-hole course in Saskatchewan, and among the ranks of the longest in Canada.

That’s from the black tees. Golfers seeking a slightly gentler challenge can approach the fairways from tee boxes substantially closer to the greens.

“You want it to be a fun course for the majority of golfers,” says the course’s developer and owner, Dave Ferguson.

The course is part of his wider vision, Black Rock Resort, which in turn is being developed by the Saskatoon builder’s company, Waterfront Developments Ltd. The resort is going up in two phases. The 31-lot phase one is sold out and will feature up to 12 finished homes by the end of the year.

Phase two goes up for sale this week.

For Ferguson, the golf course and its many amenities are collectively the crown jewel of the project. Apart from the undulating course, the complex will include a 14,000-square-foot clubhouse, including a wedding hall overlooking the lake, steam room and nearby outdoor swimming pool.

The foundation is expected to be under construction by August or September;

JW11662.G07 James

there will be parking for 230 cars. It’s an additional boost to the project that a marina is also being developed.

The course has been carved out, and is in the irrigation installation phase. Seeding will follow, weather permitting. The bestcase scenario, says Ferguson, is the course will open next summer; in the worst case, it will open the following spring.

It will feature a variety of both tough and beautifying hazards, including two natural small lakes, two man-made ponds and five fountains, along with the sand traps and surrounding trees. Ferguson plans to plant hundreds of trees along the course.

He has been very fortunate, he says, to be able to derive many of the course development materials from the area, including gravel from a nearby pit and rich topsoil.

“We could use some of the materials right here on the land,” he said.

Local residents seem fascinated by the project. Driving around the property, Ferguson stops to chat with two men in a white truck who live across the lake.

“We see the carryin’-ons over here; we had to check it out,” the driver says to Ferguson. He’s happy to oblige with a short chat and description of the project.

Plenty of people have driven by, checked out the signs and stopped to talk, just like the gentlemen in the white truck, making the trek on a warm, sunny and blustery summer day.

“They’d see construction here, and they would say, ‘Wow, is it ever beautiful over here,’ ” said Ferguson, pointing out the Shields town site in view across the lake.

“You’re 20 minutes from the city, four-lane divided highway. . . . You’re not looking at any other buildings; you’re not looking at any power lines. You’re looking at no telephone poles, no highways. . . .

“The clubhouse is key. On the west side of the clubhouse we have a tennis court.

We have a basketball court with lighting at night. We have a driving range. “(In) our clubhouse . . . the walkout basement is a wedding room, and you have a wedding hall with a large patio overlooking the lake.

“Most important for members, because summers are so short here, we have a swimming pool,” which also appeals to the non-golfers and younger members of the family, Ferguson says.

“If you’re a member, you’ll have privileges for steam rooms in the change rooms, and a hot tub as well.”

There’s little competition in the immediate area for a full nine-hole course; a par three is just across the lake, but the Saskatoon and perhaps Outlook courses are the next closest.

Ferguson has designed the course along with Glen Campbell, who is also building the course. Other than that, it’s Ferguson’s baby.

He came up with the idea to develop the northeast corner of Blackstrap Lake

after a customer in Aberdeen referred him to a customer on Blackstrap Lake, who off-handedly mentioned during the process of building his home that there was land for sale just across the water. That was a Friday afternoon.

By Monday, Ferguson had an offer in to the rural municipality of Rosedale, which he learned was accepted while waiting for a flight in the Winnipeg airport.

He bought the 220 acres and while he won’t disclose his exact investment, he says the entire development is a “multimillion dollar project.” Now that phase one, which included 21 natural walk-outs onto the lake, is sold out, he is concentrating on the one-acre lots in phase two.

Forty-four of them are on the golf course, and lots range in price from $189,000 to $249,000.

Several homes in phase one have been completed, with three homes nearing completion and up for sale at $389,000 to $399,000.

Ferguson has said little about the development until recently. He wanted to be very close to having the course developed before going public with the second phase.

Now, the course is designed and, with any luck, will be seeded this year. The lots will also be ready to go, very soon.

“People can literally start building next spring,” Ferguson said.

City works with U.S. group on coyote management plan Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express

T

he City of Saskatoon has turned to a nonprofit organization in the United States to get a better understanding of coyotes, and how they can best co-exist with people in urban areas.

Jeff Boone, pest manager supervisor for the city, says there are more coyotes moving into urban areas across North America. In Saskatoon, he has seen an increase in the number of denning coyotes compared with three years ago. He said that could be a signal the numbers are growing in the city.

The City has been working closely with a northern California-based organization named Project Coyote to develop a management plan, Boone said.

“We are still in the early stages of that,” he said.

Project Coyote has developed plans for cities such as San Francisco, Albuquerque and Denver. On its website, Project Coyote describes itself as “a coalition of wildlife scientists, educators, predator-friendly ranchers and community A warning sign was recently posted at Hyde Park leaders.

Exhibition of Emily Carr’s work on display at Mendel Art Gallery

T

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express

he curator of a Mendel Art Gallery exhibition focusing on renowned Canadian artist Emily Carr hopes the show will help people “understand Carr in a new light.”

Lisa Baldissera, the gallery’s chief curator, organized the exhibition entitled Convoluted Beauty: In the Company of Emily Carr. Baldissera wants to shed some light on a period of Carr’s history, from 1899 to 1904, when she travelled to the United Kingdom to study art. Baldissera also wants viewers “to think about the ways that we frame the lives of creative people.”

“Emily Carr’s been a particular focus of mine for the last few years as a result of my PhD research. I’m doing a PhD project on her time in the U.K. and it centres on this five-year period. It’s a research degree through the Goldsmiths College, University of London,” Baldissera said.

Born in 1871 in Victoria, B.C., Carr was a painter and a writer who drew inspiration from the West Coast and First Nations cultures. She has been credited with being a pioneer of modernity in Canada.

The Mendel Art Gallery is describing its new exhibition as “the first significant presentation of Emily Carr’s work in Saskatchewan in almost 20 years.” The timing was right for the show, since the other JW11656.G07 James summer exhibitions at the Mendel also

Emily Carr’s Shoreline and Strangled by Growth are two of the works on display at the Mendel Art Gallery (Photos Supplied) “celebrate Canada’s national identity and culture,” according to the gallery.

“As I did some more research I realized how long it had been since anything had been shown here, and we were having this series on Canadian identity, so that seemed like a really good time to do the show,” said Baldissera.

Seven works by Carr are on currently on display at the Mendel. However, the show is not intended to be a survey exhibition.

Rather, Carr’s life is explored through several themes and the work of eight international artists.

The gallery describes the exhibition as touching “on a variety of critical frameworks: the theme of exile, readings of affect and interspecies theory, an examination of hysteria and the clinic which moves beyond the psychoanalytic frameworks of the 1990s, and the concept of ‘unproductivity’ in creative work.”

One of the themes explored in the exhibition is Carr’s relationship with animals. A sound installation by Louise Lawler, featured in the Civic Conservatory, touches on that theme.

“Another interesting layer was inviting Joanne Bristol, who is doing work on inter-

species theory as part of her PhD, to develop a work that spoke to Carr’s relationship to birds, particularly,” Baldissera said.

Carr travelled to the U.K. to enhance her art, but the time spent away from home was challenging. For instance, she was hospitalized for 18 months after being diagnosed with “hysteria.”

A sculptural installation by Cedric and Nathan Bomford explores the architecture of the clinic, bringing to mind the asylumlike conditions Carr may have experienced.

Visitors to the Mendel will be able to enter the installation to experience “an intuitive response to the conditions of that kind of environment,” Baldissera said.

“They didn’t try to produce an asylum, but they tried to produce something that would show what the conditions were — some fragment of what those conditions were,” she said.

Another major component of the exhibition is the work of Karen Tam, who explores Carr’s friendship with a Chinese artist named Lee Nam. Nam, who trained in China, was working as a bookkeeper in Victoria, B.C., when Carr met him. Drawing upon information in Carr’s journals as well as archival photographs, a version of Nam’s artist’s

studio was recreated inside the Mendel.

Nam’s work excited Carr, who “understood the impact of Chinese brush work, particularly, on modern painters,” said Baldissera.

“So you can see those sweeping, intuitive lines in her paintings as well, and there’s a discussion of the influence, potentially, of Lee Nam on her work as she got to know him and his work.”

The other artists featured in the exhibition, which runs until Sept. 14, are Thomas Zipp, Charlotte Salomon, Marianne Nicolson and Mark Wallinger.

The other summer exhibitions at the Mendel Art Gallery include Sympathetic Magic, curated by Troy Gronsdahl, and A Vital Force: The Canadian Group of Painters, curated by Alicia Boutilier. In Sympathetic Magic, “the complex terrain of the real and imagined north” is explored through an exhibition of contemporary Canadian art, according to the gallery. Meanwhile, the gallery describes A Vital Force as “the first major exhibition to focus on the Canadian Group of Painters, its ‘look’ and its legacy.”

Both shows also run until Sept. 14.

rowing up in Montreal, Kaylee Kennedy was known affectionately as a “pool rat.”

“Montreal has a huge swimming community where there are at least four outdoor pools in every borough,” said Kennedy, who has recently relocated to Saskatoon after her boyfriend, an electrician, accepted a job in the city. “Those Montreal pools compete against each other all summer long in four water sports — swim team, synchro, water polo and diving. I grew up every summer, since I was a little girl, at one of these pools. I was what they would call a pool rat.”

To stay in the water as much as possible, Kennedy joined all four of those teams and then trained to become a certified lifeguard and swim instructor to teach group swimming lessons. However, she just did not enjoy the group instruction environment.

“I found it was a lot harder to teach, not to mention the students never seemed to improve like I wanted them to,” Kennedy said. “So, at the age of 20, I began teaching privately and started my own company in Montreal called Soak It Up Swim School.”

She had found her calling, and revelled in the success of her Montreal students, who were swimming in no time. Kennedy says “improvement” was her “middle name,” and she thrived on it.

“So, when I moved here a little over a month ago, it bothered me that swimming is not much of a priority in Saskatoon,” she said. “I decided to take matters into my own hands and open another school in this city. At least for now I want to get as much of the public on board with the whole learning how to swim thing, and then after that maybe introduce some technique and maybe even some competitive teams.”

Kennedy has launched Saskatoon Swim School, a private swimming lesson company offering one-on-one instruction that JW11677.G07 James focuses on level-by-level swimming prog-

Saskatoon Swim School Life-long swimmer offers private lessons Kaylee Kennedy and her son Zayden (Photo Supplied) ress. Lessons are currently being held in the swimming pool at Saskatoon’s Holiday Inn Express, while Kennedy continues to search for other pools for instruction.

Students of all ages and levels, from as young as six months old to adults and seniors, are already enjoying the benefits. Kennedy has experience with and also offers instruction for students with special needs.

“Private lessons let you be the swimmer that you are meant to be,” said Kennedy.

“Swimming is an individualized sport,

and a life skill. Because this is something that could save your life or someone else’s, for that matter, it needs to be taken seriously. Group lessons only allow, at most, four minutes per child to swim individually with the instructor in a 30-minute class. Those four minutes are spread out over the whole half hour, making it almost impossible for the student to comprehend and learn what needs to be done in the pool.”

Having only opened within the last few weeks, Kennedy and one other instruc-

tor are currently working with Saskatoon Swim School. However, she’s looking to the future and is confident her private swim instruction business is going to boom in Saskatoon.

The rain made life grim for many families The scene that greeted our Chenise Puchailo when she went home to Manitoba (Photo by Chenise Puchailo)

I

By Chenise Puchailo t never ceases to amaze me just how hardy Canadian prairie folk are.

We are a breed of people who, when faced with the diversity of natural inconveniences, choose to shrug our shoulders and carry on with life. We help those who need help, grumble about conditions because it is expected, and essentially make the best of what we are given.

During the July long weekend I travelled to my home province of Manitoba to see family, for my hometown fair, and, most importantly, for my brother’s birthday. I was supposed to bring sunshine with me as a gift. That is not at all what I brought him.

I brought rain, and too much of it.

The beloved fair was rained out. Numerous roads were washed out and became impassible due to the rapidly ascending water levels. Many people scattered from our small city — Dauphin — to rush home to their farms before they became strand-

ed, or worse, had their houses flooded.

We didn’t need the rain. My family had already been backed into a corner and forced to accept crop insurance. The water tables were simply too high to allow us onto the fields. It’s a reality many farmers and agricultural businesses have had to accept.

Going home and seeing bare fields where there should have at least been sprouts was a reality check I didn’t like. The situation is pretty grim for a lot of families.

Driving back to Saskatoon opened my eyes to just how much impact the rain has had on the province. A detour off Highway 16 that should have added 15 to 20 minutes to my drive held me up for more than an hour as I joined the long line of traffic moving along a waterlogged Highway 5. Hearing that there was water on the road, and receiving directions to proceed with caution, did not prepare me to drive on a completely submerged stretch of highway, with orange markers being the

only security to keep drivers on the road.

Had I not seen other vehicles passing through, I’d have been sure my tiny car would have flooded and left me stranded.

Make no doubt, these weather extremes affect everyone. They’re damaging, costly and, in some cases, downright frightening.

The Internet is overflowing, so to speak, with photos, videos and first-person accounts of the damage this freak flood has brought. Seeing the accounts of this raw power is a little humbling. But if you continue to look on those little recesses of the Internet, you’ll also see what we prairie folk do best: making the best of what we’ve got.

My hometown fair closed out, but cheeky comments sprung up such as “it’s fair weekend. Don’t forget your hip waders!”

The best part was that someone actually did. Suddenly, a photo of a couple of kids playing with inflatable pool toys went viral in town. My family wasn’t exempt from

making light of our situation. As our front yard became a lake, we pulled out our calf sleds to partake in some good old redneck ditch rafting.

Then came the heart-warming stories: stories like the herd of cattle rescued by the community of Neudorf from the floodwaters. My family stayed out until 1:30 in the morning marking roads that had become dangerous. In the following days, neighbours and residents were still out and about marking washouts, water-made trenches, and impassible roads to keep everyone alert and safe.

So, yes, the weather we have sucks. But it also reminds me why I’m so proud to live on the Canadian Prairies. I can’t imagine many other groups of people who can remain so lighthearted and helpful even in the face of nature’s horrible surprises. Keep your head above water, Saskatoon.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you might want to take a whale-watching cruise. I was fortunate to have joined a tour with Sanctuary Cruises, a company that operates out of Moss Landing, a colourful fishing village just north of Monterey.

With resident marine biologist Dorris Welch on board, tour guests enjoyed a running commentary on the sea life we came across during our impressive two-hour patrol of the bay. She pointed out the sea otters and the dolphins when they closed in on our boat, but it was when we began spotting the graceful humpback whales that the excitement erupted onboard.

Dorris explained that from April to November humpback and blue whales are common in these waters, while grey whales migrate here December through March.

Dolphins and orcas are year-round residents of the bay.

“There’s always something fascinating here for visitors to enjoy,” she said, pointing out another group of whales slicing through the waters 150 metres off our starboard side.

Page 12 - SASKATOONEXPRESS - July 7-13, 2014 nine-month strategic planning process, the gallery rebranded itself as Remai Modern Art Gallery of Saskatchewan. Upon announcing its new brand name, the gallery also released its vision: “Remai Modern Art Gallery of Saskatchewan is a thought leader and direction setting modern art gallery that boldly collects, develops, presents and interprets the art of our time.

Our mandate is to enable transformative experiences by connecting art to local and global communities.”

When the new art gallery project emerged, some local citizens were not supportive of it. A petition was launched urging Saskatoon residents to “Save the Mendel,” while one man took out a two-page advertisement in the Saskatoon Express targeting what he believed to be a waste of resources. Some citizens worried about the cost of the new facility, while others worried that the legacy of the Mendel Art Gallery — which opened in 1964 following a financial donation from Frederick (Fred) Solomon Mendel — would be lost.

& July 9 to Aug 24 New gallery right decision

When asked about current public sentiment toward the new art gallery, Gaucher said “the good news is I don’t have to be part of that debate, because I’m looking at that building going up and I’m saying, ‘Hey, it’s my job to try to help make this the best it can be.’ ” “I think they made the right decision by going with the new gallery,” he added.

Hear ghost stories in downtown Saskatoon

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express

J

ohn Lynch won’t say ghosts exist.

He won’t say they don’t either.

Lynch leads a nightly haunted, humorous, historic tour in downtown Saskatoon. He said Saskatoon was one of few cities of its size in Canada without a tour of this type.

“I saw on the Internet they were kind of popping up everywhere,” the transplanted Newfoundlander said.

“And with the economy being as good as it is in Saskatoon, I decided this was the place.”

Lynch has lived in Saskatoon for five years. Since leaving Newfoundland, he has spent time in Ontario and had a reporting job in Kindersley for a spell. He dabbled with the Saskatoon tour last year, but is going at it full bore this summer.

Lynch said a focal point of the tour is the Bessborough hotel. He said he talks about the landmark from an architectural point of view and also from a historical point of view.

T

“And then, of course, I talk about the Bessborough ghost,” he said with a laugh.

The Bessborough ghost is thought to be a kindly older man, who is dressed in grey and wears a fedora.

“You try to create a historical backdrop against where you put the ghosts in,” he said. “It’s not just a story about there is a ghost here, a ghost there, a ghost there.”

Does Lynch believe in ghosts?

“I say during the tour that I am a Catholic, but I am agnostic on ghosts.

I won’t say they do exist or I won’t say they don’t. There is so much evidence that has been put before me that it is hard to say they absolutely don’t exist.”

He says those on the tour have added stories.

“I met a guy in the last two weeks, and he told me he lived on Second Avenue North which borders Woodlawn Cemetery. And he said in the middle of night a force was trying to take the ring off his finger. If you want to believe that or not it is up to you.

CERTIFIED ORGANIC BEEF FOR SALE

Grass-fed / Grass Finished!

It certainly intersects Woodlawn and some of the things I say about Woodlawn.”

While Woodlawn isn’t on the tour, many swear they have seen the ghost of an old woman floating through the cemetery at night. Many also swear to seeing an evil presence in the form of a man. It materializes with eyes that glow green or red.

Lynch said a woman on the tour told him she has a ghost in her basement.

“And she’s told the ghost to behave himself or he will have to leave.”

The tour is 90 minutes in length.

No hotels, buildings or churches are entered during the tour.

“I talk about the churches on Spadina Crescent. It is nothing to do with ghosts, but I do tell stories about churches.”

The cost is $13. There is no charge for those under 12. For more information and to book a spot, call 306-4916655. The tours leave from the front of the Senator Hotel at 9:30 p.m.

Musicians raising money for flood victims

W

ith southeastern Saskatchewan being devastated by the torrential rains and flooding, local musicians are coming together for a Flood Relief concert on July 10 at Mayfair United Church in Saskatoon.

A similar concert will be held in Yorkton on July 12. Planning is underway for one in Regina as well.

PotashCorp has announced it will

match dollar-for-dollar — up to $50,000 — the proceeds brought in from the concerts. All proceeds will go to the Canadian Red Cross Sask. flood fund.

The Saskatoon audience will be entertained by Memory Lane: A Tribute to the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s. Classics from artists such as Buddy Holly, Dean Martin and Bing Crosby will be performed.

Fronted by Stephen Maguire, the

2014 Saskatchewan Country Music Association’s person of the year, and under the musical direction of Roy Sydiaha, the eight-piece band includes some of the city’s finest musicians, all donating their time for this special show.

Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show at 7:30. Tickets are $20, and are available at Saskatoon Co-op Food Stores as well as the Co-op in Warman.

We have been getting many requests for good rhubarb recipes, so we will try to stick to that theme for the next couple of weeks. Rhubarb is such a treat, and the season is so short that we enjoy every stalk.

In his book Supereating, Ian Maber says “like many fruits, rhubarb is best eaten with a fat to help absorption of carotenoids and vitamin K.” This recipe has rhubarb and fat together, so we meet that requirement. If you want to cut back on sugar, replace some of the rhubarb with fresh strawberries to add sweetness. Visit breastfriends.ca to learn more about our cookbooks.

A fun program to get kids active

ways to keep their children active. Our goal is to introduce physical activity from a young age in a fun and interactive way while also promoting the most popular sport in the world — soccer.

SE: When and how did it all start?

CZ: The original HappyFeet program started in 1988 when Kansas City’s La Petite Preschools ran field trips to a gentleman named Andy Barney’s indoor soccer facility. When Andy initially taught HappyFeet, he had no experience in early childhood education and quickly realized that an educational curriculum sensitive to the needs of children would need to be developed. With the help of local early childhood educators, Barney developed an age-appropriate curriculum and began offering on-site classes at individual preschools across Kansas City.

In 2006, Andy came to the conclusion that the success of HappyFeet in Kansas City could easily be mirrored in other communities, and so he set out to establish HappyFeet franchises across the United States. To date, there are more than 110 HappyFeet franchises in over 35 states, with HappyFeet Saskatchewan being the first Canadian franchise.

SE: Where are you located?

HappyFeet is currently operating out of the Saskatoon Field House, Lakeview Church and the Legends Centre in Warman.

SE: How does HappyFeet differ from other soccer programs?

T

CZ: Although classes are focused around a ball, we prefer to think of HappyFeet as an early childhood activity class rather than a soccer program. The first thing that people notice when they come to a class is that every child has their own ball (Bob the Bobcat). HappyFeet classes are non-competitive and are delivered in a way that they closely resemble a preschool class; nursery rhymes and childhood games/creative adventures make up the bulk of each class. We essentially take all the fun things that children love to do and incorporate a soccer ball.

Without realizing it, these children are developing balance and coordination skills, as well as a wide variety of gross movement patterns such as skipping, walking backwards, jumping, etc. HappyFeet classes also serve as a great way to develop social skills, as this is often the first experience that many of our two- and three-year-olds have had in a class with other children. Classes are broken into ages two- and three-year-olds and four to five years old.

SE: I’m a parent of young kids. Why should I consider Happy Feet for my kids?

From a child’s point of view, HappyFeet is often their favourite activity all week. We focus on having fun through play and strive to help develop skills that will help your child in all aspects of life, not just sport. Our 30-minute classes build on developmental skills from week to week, plus provide a chance for your little one to burn off some spare energy.

SE: Is the program going to run year round?

CZ: HappyFeet classes are currently operating in six-week blocks and will run throughout the year. We’re constantly releasing information about new classes on our website. The goal is to offer classes in a variety of communities across the city so that anyone wanting to participate in a class will have the opportunity to do so without having to leave their community.

SE: What skills or equipment do kids need to register?

CZ: The only equipment that we require the kids to have is a clean pair of shoes. All skill levels are welcome.

SE: What else do parents and caregivers need to know about HappyFeet?

CZ: Classes range from $40 to $50 for a six-week block, and are held once per week for 30 minutes. We do preschool visits — in fact, we’re currently looking for a couple of willing preschools to partner with HappyFeet for a pilot project in a similar way to how HappyFeet operates in the U.S.A. We also do HappyFeet birthday parties.

SE: How can parents get in touch with you?

Anyone looking for more information about HappyFeet, or to register, can visit our website, www.happyfeetsask.ca, or send me an email at HappyFeetsask@ gmail.com.

STARS stocks blood on rescue missions

he Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) is the first medical service in Canada to begin stocking blood in advance for life-saving transfusions on air medical missions.

This new approach, spearheaded by Saskatoon Health Region’s Hospital Transfusion Lab staff, allows the helicopter emergency medical service to begin a blood transfusion early. The first hour of emergency care is nicknamed “the golden hour” because lives can be saved if critically ill patients can be stabilized before arrival at a trauma centre.

“We know how important it is for people to begin receiving blood after a traumatic injury and the difference it can make in saving a life,” Dr. Karen Dallas, Saskatoon Health Region & Northern Saskatchewan’s medical director for transfusion medicine, said in a media release.

“When it became possible for STARS to

begin carrying blood on board, we wanted to support the initiative to ensure patients are getting the care they need before they get to the hospital.”

Dr. John Froh, transport physician and medical director for STARS in Saskatoon, agrees.

“In trauma, blood can make the difference between life and death. It is inspiring to see Saskatchewan leading the way by providing our citizens this game changing roadside treatment that very few other services in North America provide,” he said in the release.

STARS is a non-profit helicopter air ambulance organization that provides rapid and specialized emergency care and transportation for critically ill and injured patients. STARS operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week from bases in Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton, Grande Prairie and Winnipeg.
