Dancer showing some ‘Swagger’ at Dance Away Hunger

Review Photo 9582 — Greg Nikkel

Dancer Josee Hutt performed a jazz dance number to the song “Swagger”, as she took part in the “Dance Away Hunger” dance showcase on May 8 at the Cugnet Centre, hosted by the Dance Zone. The event raised funds and brought in food donations for the Salvation Army’s food bank, and featured a total of 65 dance performances over the evening.

Local singer finds success in LA radio market Singing country tunes has been a labour of love for Halbrite singer Kelly J. Gill, and when a single began doing well in the huge Los Angeles market, he found that he is very much enjoying the success this is bringing him. Gill recorded an album, “One More Mile”, in Nashville, and released “The Stranger” as a single. He was informed late last year that the song placed No. 1 on L.A. radio station KMIX and their affiliated stations, the first time he’s experienced this level of success for one of his songs. The album was also named by the station as the best country album by an independent artist. “It’s a depiction of the Old West, where a sheriff got shot in the back and he came back for revenge,” said Gill in describing the song. He noted a second single from this album, called, “Another 26 Oz. Illusion”, is currently doing well in the same market and is trending towards that same No. 1 position. Another song that has been finding popularity as an inspirational song, “The Valley”, benefitted from fiddle work provided by Jason Roller, who is the fiddle player for Wynonna Judd, and was able to sit in on the recording when he was in Nashville. Gill keeps busy in the Halbrite area as a rancher and a battery operator, so when the radio station held a reception to hand out the award for his No. 1 song, he found he was too busy to make it down to Los Angeles.

His life on the ranch has provided some inspiration for song-writing, and even to funny incidences, as he related one story about a song he had an idea for while driving his tractor. One day he was driving a 1949 Massey with a swather, and was cutting grass in a ditch, and a song idea came to him. Lacking a pad of paper to write down the words, he wrote it on the fender of the tractor. At one point, his swather hit a rock, and he had to stop and get down to fix it, and found when he returned to the tractor that he had smeared the words on the fender, and was frustrated when he tried to remember what he wrote that he couldn’t come up with words in the way they first came to him. Gill performs with a band of local musicians, called the Hired Guns, and has been able to keep fairly busy with gigs in the region. His band includes bass player Neil Atkinson, Wayne Honig on piano and Grant Honig on steel guitar. He doesn’t have a drummer currently, using an electronic drum program to help keep travel costs down for the band. He and the band have some upcoming dates lined up, including at the Long Creek Saloon in Radville on Saturday, May 19, and the Alameda Fair on Saturday, June 9. “It keeps us busy and we enjoy it,” said Gill. “We love to interact with the crowd. We just include them as much as we can, and have as much fun as we can.”

By Sabrina Kraft The Art Farm committee celebrated a five-year legacy by announcing a $10,000 partnership with the RM of Weyburn to continue supporting a strong and growing art community with an art scholarship. The announcement was made during a Legacy Party celebration, held at Pumpjacks on May 10. The evening featured entertainment by Tylan Charlton, Richard Beach and 7th Avenue. The funds will be distributed over the next five years, the same amount of time that Art Farm was held at the Heather and Abraham van der Breggen farm. The scholarship is open to anyone who wants to further their artistic abilities. It

We teamed up with the RM of Weyburn, who had supported us throughout the years, to create this scholarship.” “This scholarship is open to anyone in Weyburn who wants to learn more about the arts, or to be more creative. This community is so full and rich with heart and creativity and we want to make sure that continues on.” Rickee Lee also noted that one major life lesson she learned from Heather and Abraham during the past five years was to “share everything that you have. Share the table, share the land, share your heart, your laughter and your tears. Share.” Carmen Sterling, reeve of the RM of Weyburn, also spoke about the success that Art Farm had for the entire community. “Art Farm was a great showcase for local talent. It was also an opportunity for the general public to see what goes into a group working together, the way that the Art Farm committee did.” “It was a pleasure for the RM to contribute funding over the years, to broaden the reach of Art Farm and allow them to offer free rides and transportation to their annual event.” “We are really happy to partner with Art Farm with this scholarship, and are looking forward to seeing those applications to start coming in,” said Sterling. Application forms for the new scholarship will be available at the RM of Weyburn office in January, 2019. More details on how to apply will be released at a later date.

IT ONLY TAKES A SPARK TO LIGHT A FIRE - TAKE CARE Greg Nikkel editor@weyburnreview.com

he country in southeast Saskatchewan is tinder dry, and the City of Weyburn has joined in with many of the Rural Municipalities around the region to institute a fire ban until further notice. In addition to these municipalities, the Ministry of the Environment has also issued a fire ban for all provincial Crown lands, parks and recreation sites, affecting all areas south of the Churchill River down to the U.S. border. The fire ban does include some exceptions, namely that propane-fired barbecues and fire pits are allowed, and self-contained heating devices — otherwise, all other forms of flame or fire are prohibited, including (for Weyburn at least) fireworks, since city council just approved a bylaw that will now allow family fireworks for occasions like New Year’s Eve and Day, and Canada Day. It’s unfortunate that it’s so dry right now, because the upcoming Canada Day celebrations could have been special for a lot of families with fireworks, but the fire ban supercedes that bylaw, unless the Weyburn area gets a nice drenching before July 1st. The Weyburn Fire Department, along with fire departments and municipalities throughout the region, are acting responsibly in light of how desperately dry everything is right now.

Some people may feel it’s an excessive prohibition to make, blanketing the area with a ban any open fire — but with the strong spring winds that have been blowing in the southeast area of late, it would take just a stray spark from a fire pit, or a careless cigarette or match tossed aside, to end up with a dangerous and damaging fire that could destroy property and endanger lives. Nobody wants that to happen, but it takes caution on everyone’s part to keep the city and surrounding grassland areas safe. Grass fires can start quickly, spread rapidly and burn very hot, making them especially dangerous. The same principle as in sports applies here: the best defence is a good offence. In this case, be proactive and be safe, keeping the areas around properties clear of flammable items or of any potential sparks that could flare up into a fire. Even sparks from a passing train or a vehicle’s hot exhaust can cause a fire, as farmers experience at times when harvesting in very dry conditions, or by campers or motorists who drive through areas with long, dry grass. There isn’t much grass yet, but with how dry everything is right now, it won’t take long until there are highly-dangerous conditions in place throughout the area. If you do see a grass fire (or any other kind of fire), report it immediately by dialling 911. This will help local firefighters get to the scene as quickly as possible.

Gardener’s Corner

Submitted by Patricia Hanbridge It is truly spring when we can go on a crocus hunt! If you have not yet gone to see our native prairie crocus (Anemone patens) then you need to begin this age old spring ritual. In order to do the crocus hunt - you will need to find a piece of natural prairie which is not as easy as it sounds. The prairie crocus is the first colour we see each spring on any patch of native prairie. Often we see it as the snow is melting and sometimes we get a late snowfall which makes for amazing memories captured by a camera. As with all native plants that have been growing for so many years, when conditions are not good for growth, the plant will simply stay dormant until the proper conditions arise. Thus in the spring when we had an extremely dry summer and fall, you will not see these pretty mauve coloured gems growing at all.

Once the bloom is over, and the prairie grasses begin to grow the crocus will begin to prepare for winter. By mid-July there is usually no sign that the crocus was ever there on the surface of the grassland. The prairie crocus thus avoids the dry summer months as well as avoiding competition with the grasses. It is interesting that the prairie crocus is not really a crocus but actually a long-lived perennial with a very thick tap root. Each individual plant will live for fifty years or more and these beauties will often be a good foot or so in diameter. You will also see the crocus spread by selfplanting its seeds. If you look closely the seeds are shaped like tiny spears that are covered with backward facing hairs. The long tail on the seed is “hydrophylic” which simply means that when it is exposed to different moisture conditions the fibres that make

up the tail will expand or contract. This tiny movement with the help of the backward facing hairs will gently push the crocus seed into the ground, thus selfplanting the seed. One other interesting thing about the prairie crocus is designed in such a way to survive the fluctuating spring temperatures.

The flowers are saucershaped with reflective petals which helps them reflect any heat to the centre of the flower which helps to raise the temperature enough to allow seed production to occur. It is often as much as ten degrees difference of temperature within the flower as the outside air. This is also

Calgary pitcher sparks ‘Baby Braves’ The latest Canadian to make a big splash in Major League Baseball is part of one of the best early stories of 2018 — the Baby Braves. Mike Soroka of Calgary, all of 20 years old, made his major league debut May 1 and came away a winner, going six innings and giving up only one run in an eventual 3-2 victory by visiting Atlanta Braves over star pitcher Noah Syndergaard and the New York Mets. Soroka, picked from Canada’s junior national team in the first round of the amateur draft by Atlanta in 2015, is one of three Braves who comprise the youngest trio in all of baseball — the others being outfielder Ronald Acuna, 20, and infielder Ozzie Albies, 21. All three have been highly touted for the last couple of seasons, and Braves fans have been eagerly anticipating their arrival with the big club. That all three of them have apparently matured enough to make the team in 2018 has been a surprise, but not totally unexpected. Acuna has been the No. 1 rated prospect for the past 12 months and was called up in late April from AAA Gwinnett. Through his first nine games, Acuna was batting .342, showing power, baserunning skills and speed in the outfield. Albies, the old guy of the three at 21, has been with the Braves all season and the 5-foot-8 165-pounder pounded 10 home runs by early May, two off the league lead. Overall, the Braves were leading the entire National League in almost every offensive category, with veterans Freddie Freeman, Nick Markakis and Ender Inciarte joining with the kids to beat up on opponents. Their team batting average of .275 on May 5 was 20 points higher than next-best. Soroka joined the Braves on the first day of May, and stymied the Mets, and if he carries on as he did in his debut, the Braves’ starting rotation (Julio Teheran, Brandon McCarthy, Mike Foltynewicz and Sean Newcomb are the others) would rank among baseball’s best. “He (Soroka) was really good. It’s not like it shocked me,” Braves manager Brian Snitker told Mike Fitzpatrick of the Associated Press. “The stuff, the composure, how he went about it was all very impressive.” Atlanta management has been promising fans that the current ‘rebuild’ would bear playoff fruit by 2019 or 2020 at the latest. From the looks of things after the first month (the Braves overtook the Mets for top spot in the NL East on May 2), that rebuild might find success in 2018.

From left are teachers Mrs. Riley (played by Kimberly Balayar) and Mr. Felix (Ryder Knox), who is the teacher that is leaving; and students Codi (Ethan Scrupps), Cassidy (Camryn Greve), Ashley (Laksmi Palomares), Harper (Natalie Butz) and Abbey (Amora Sonnenberg).

Province investing funds into rural infrastructure

The Government of Saskatchewan is investing $14 million to improve rural roads, bridges and culverts throughout Saskatchewan. The Municipal Roads for the Economy Program (MREP) provides funding for municipal roads impacted by increased truck traffic, as well as bridge and culvert projects. “The rural municipal road system plays an important part in getting our exports to market.” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said. “Our investment in MREP supports municipalities and plays an important part in keeping our economy strong.” MREP is administered by the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM). Grants cover up to 50 per cent of the costs of road projects and 30 to 90 per cent of the costs of bridge and culvert projects. Eleven rural Municipalities will be receiving grants this year. Funding for the program remains the same as last year. The Clearing the Path (CTP) corridors will receive a significant portion of this year’s program grants. This year, $6.6 million dollars will be invested in its operation and maintenance. The CTP provides rural communities with access to primary weight roads in order to help facilitate economic development. “We appreciate the government’s continued support for rural Saskatchewan,” SARM President Ray Orb said. “Saskatchewan’s growth is fueled by resource exports and MREP ensures money is invested back into the rural transportation system that supports those exports.” Highlights of the 2018 MREP grants include: • Five bridge and culvert projects worth $2.89 million; • Six heavy haul high volume road construction projects worth $3.5 million; and • One Clearing the Path road construction project worth $750,000. The Government of Saskatchewan has invested $271.35 million in rural infrastructure through MREP since 2008, over and above municipal revenue sharing.

Putting your goals in sight with professional wealth management As your wealth grows, so too do the complexities associated with wealth. This is often the case for successful business owners, executives, large families and those enjoying or approaching retirement. Financial planning: Clarifying your overall financial situation The wealth management process normally starts with a comprehensive, professionally prepared financial plan. With this caliber of financial plan, you can address all aspects of your financial affairs, including cash and debt management, tax and risk exposures, investment management, retirement planning and estate planning. Retirement planning: Ensuring your retirement lifestyle With your retirement goals in mind, we look at strategies above and beyond maximizing your RRSP or RRIF, including enhanced retirement plans such as Individual Pension Plans (IPPs) and Retirement Compensation Arrangements (RCAs), or tax-advantaged investment vehicles such as Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs). We may also consider insurance-based strategies utilizing tax-exempt life insurance, insured annuities, and segregated funds, and ways to structure your retirement income to enhance your aftertax retirement income. Taxation: Minimizing your tax exposures In consultation with your tax and legal advisors, we consider strategies to manage or reduce your tax liabilities. These considerations include restructuring your personal and business assets, and legal ownership, holding companies, trusts and other strategies. It may also include income-splitting strategies to reduce your family’s overall taxes, or tax-loss harvesting, tax-efficient asset allocation and tax-exempt investment vehicles. Estate planning: Leaving your affairs neat and tidy A major focus of wealth management is on protecting your legacy to your family, while making it easier for them to settle your estate. Working with your tax, legal, insurance and trust experts, we look at your overall estate plan, including major documents such as your Will, Powers of Attorney and Trusts. We then consider insurance-based strategies to enhance and protect your estate value, and estate settlement services, which can especially useful when you have a more complex estate. Insurance: Protecting everything you’ve built Insurance is an indispensable and very flexible wealth-planning tool that not only covers the major “what-ifs” in life but can also help build and protect wealth during

your lifetime and when your estate is settled. Here we look at how you can maximize insurance to provide ﬁnancial security for you and your family in case the unexpected happens, shelter your investment and estate assets from taxes and provide tax-free retirement income and tax-free death beneﬁts. Credit and lending: Using debt wisely We assess your credit and lending needs to reduce or eliminate unnecessary debt, restructure your existing debt so that the interest is tax-deductible wherever possible and consider the use of “good debt,” such as a spousal loan strategy or non-recourse mortgage to potentially reduce taxation. Charitable giving: Giving back and creating a legacy To help you make the most of your charitable giving, we can help with tax-effective giving strategies such as donating stocks in-kind and establishing family foundations. If you have not already taken advantage of our extensive wealth management services, please contact us today to learn more.

Torquay area highway called a ‘total disaster’

By David Willberg, Estevan Mercury The results are in for the annual Worst Roads Campaign organized by CAA Saskatchewan, and voters were not kind to the two highways in the Torquay area. Highway 350, which runs from Torquay to the U.S. border, was third on the list, as voted by the public. Highway 18 in the Torquay area, meanwhile, ranked No. 8 on the list. According to the CAA, the worst roads are described as having cracks, crumbling pavement, potholes or craters, poor or no signage, traffic congestion and lack of cycling or walking infrastructure. But it appears some help is underway for one of those roads, as resurfacing is underway on Highway 18 between Torquay and Outram. Traffic has been restricted to one lane in the area. Torquay Mayor Michael Strachan said there have been discussions with the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure regarding the future of the two highways. Those who drive a heavy truck on Highway 18 really notice the condition of the road. “It’s not something that our oilfield workers and even people who haul grain down that road really enjoy, getting thrown around the cab,” said Strachan. And for people to realize how bad of shape Highway 350 is in, they need to drive down that highway after precipitation. “It turns into real mud, and the water funnels to the centre of the road,” said Strachan. “It’s not a nice road to drive on. It’s a road to the U.S. port, so nothing says ‘Welcome to Canada’ like a disaster of a road like that.” It could be a tourism-related road, he said, as a lot of Americans used to take Highway 350 to access Rafferty Dam. Now they use other ports of entry. “It’s hurt some of our businesses in the area,” said Strachan. “That’s one of the things I’ve tried to get across to the ministry is they’re hurting our businesses, let alone our citizens who want to travel to the U.S.” He believes there is enough traffic on Highway 350 to warrant improvements. Activity for the energy sector has picked up in the area the last two years, which has resulted in an increase in truck traffic. “It’s really made that road dangerous, and the increase to that traffic alone should warrant some work on that road,” said Strachan. Strachan receives complaints from citizens regarding the roads. He knows of people who will travel to the Port of Estevan or the Port of Oungre border crossings to visit the U.S., rather than chance Highway 350. Highway 18, meanwhile, plays a vital role for Torquay residents travelling to other centres, such as Estevan. Dennis Moore, an Estevan city councillor who is the chairperson for the South East Transportation Planning Committee, said the highway from Estevan to Outram is in rough shape, but it’s been maintained pretty well. He is pleased to see that work is underway from Outram to Torquay. “I couldn’t help but notice that some of the recapping

Work begins on Highway 18

has separated from the original base, which they’re going to of course fix,” said Moore. The area that is being resurfaced was likely the worst portion of the highway between Estevan and Oungre, he said. Once the resurfacing is finished, Moore predicted it would be up to the standard that the committee would like to see for Highway 18. “From Torquay to Oungre, that’s a real rollercoaster of a road,” said Moore. “I hope that they have in mind to complete it over to the highway that runs north to Weyburn (Highway 35).” Moore believes the maintenance efforts have been pretty good for the highway from Estevan to Oungre. He added that the worst portion of Highway 18 is west of Oungre, but the traffic numbers likely aren’t high enough to warrant a full resurfacing. “At the same time, for those that have to travel it, that’s a rough piece of miserable road,” said Moore. As for Highway 350, Moore called it “a total disaster.” “That’s the way it’s been for a number years,” said Moore. “I’m quite familiar with it, because we used to come on that route on our motorbikes. And since then, it has turned into gravel and patches of pavement, and there’s no way we’d go that way.”

Solutions & Substitutions Dear Reena, My light-colored laminate flooring has a lot of surface scratches, in a high traffic area. Is there any way to touch up these scratches so that they aren’t so noticeable rather than replacing the flooring? You can really see these scratches when the sun shines directly on the area and the floors have just been washed. Marsha. Dear Marsha, Laminate flooring looks like wood because it is a photographic image of wood; it is then covered by a clear protective finish. Repair scratches with a wax crayon designed to cover small imperfections in laminate flooring, or purchase a laminate flooring repair kit. Depending on the color of the flooring, you may also be able to hide scratches with a color matched permanent marker. If this is not the case, consider replacing the floor plank in order for the floor to look nice again. Fortunately, this is achievable if you can color match your floor.

Dear Reena, What is the easiest way to remove dust and pet hair off lampshades? Marilyn. Dear Marilyn, The easiest way to clean lampshades is to press the dust attachment onto the vacuum nozzle and clean the shade. Another option is to wrap packing tape around your hand and press each area of the lampshade with tape. A lint roller is also very effective. Baby wipes are handy for removing marks from lampshades. Some lampshades may be cleaned in the bathtub, spray the shade with the showerhead and a bit of shampoo. Dear Reena, I baked a cheesecake and it looked and smelled great. However, when I removed it from the oven and ate a piece; it was lumpy. How can I prevent this in the future? Hilda. Dear Hilda, Begin by making sure that the cream cheese is at room temperature. Beat the cream cheese by itself until smooth. After mixing the ingredients together; strain the mixture through

It’s a stretch of road that really needs attention, but he’s not sure what will happen with it, or how soon action will be taken. “For those folks who live along that piece of road, it’s pretty shameful, because at one time it was pretty decent,” said Moore. He echoed Strachan’s comments regarding the heavy loads that are carried on Highway 350, even though the highway wasn’t built for those weights. “Without anybody monitoring what’s going on, the roads eventually just break up, especially on the shoulders,” he said. Moore stressed that David Marit, the current minister of Highways and Infrastructure, is the right person for the job. They have met a few times, and Moore is pleased to see someone with a farming background in the role. “He fully appreciates what it is to have good roads, and to be able to move your commodities from the farm into the tracks, or wherever you have to take them. I have full faith that now that he has started, I can’t imagine him just leaving this.” Moore looks forward to meeting with Marit again, and discussing the plans for future repairs to the highways, and others in the southeast in need of repairs.

the damage. You will need to purchase a porcelain repair kit from your local hardware store. With the color match epoxy mixed according to the directions and a sponge, you will likely end up with great results.

WEYBURN THIS WEEK - PAGE 17

The wisdom of mom By Linda Wegner

As I pen these words, it’s Mother’s Day, and I’m blessed by the flowers, cards and words of my husband and our two sons. Highly respected within their respective communities, both our boys – oops, men – have contributed so much to the lives of so many, including ours. Turning again to the Book of Proverbs for inspiration, I was, at first, overwhelmed by the references to the advice, admonition and examples of fathers. Reading more carefully, though, I noted a number of examples of the power of a mother’s influence as mentioned by Solomon, Agur (chapter 30) and King Lemuel (chapter 31). Solomon opens the Book of Proverbs by immediately citing the significant impact of wise and godly parents (1:7-9): “How does a man become wise? The first step is to trust and reverence the Lord! Only fools refuse to be taught. Listen to your father and mother. What you learn from them will stand you in good stead; it will gain you many honors.” Then there was Agur: (30:11,12) “There are those who curse their father and mother and feel themselves faultless, despite their many sins.” Later in this chapter he details the risks and consequences of such behaviour. King Lemuel refers the wisdom he acquired from his mother (31:1): “These are the wise sayings of King Lemuel of Massa, taught to him at his mother’s knee.” I miss Mom and often ponder the lessons I’ve learned from her; above all, I realize that most of them were silently lived out in kindness and faith. Does that mean good parents never fail? No, it certainly doesn’t for even the best among us is only human. We and our kids make mistakes because we’re all human and that’s life. Regardless of our backgrounds or of our ages, let’s ask God to help us bless others around us.

Veterans Affairs offering programs

Veterans Affairs Canada has recently announced new and enhanced programs and services that will be available for Canadian Veterans and their families. These new programs and services — covering areas such as education and training, well-being and financial support — became available on April 1, 2018. The Education and Training Benefit can provide the funding Canadian Veterans need to achieve their education and career goals. If a Veteran was released since April 1, 2006 and served at least six years, they may be eligible for this benefit. A meaningful career is an important part of a Veterans’ well-being. The Career Transition Services program has been redesigned to support you the whole way: from career counseling and coaching, job search and resume building, all the way to interview preparation and job placement assistance. For any Veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces who were medically-released within the last 120 days — or have a health problem resulting from your military service that is making it difficult for you to adjust — may qualify for rehabilitation services. Veterans Affairs Canada’s purpose is to ensure that Veterans improve their health to the fullest extent possible and adjust to life at home, in their community or at work. Access to the Veteran Family Program is now available across all Military Family Resource Centres. Veterans Affairs Canada have also introduced the Caregiver Recognition Benefit, which provides a caregiver $1,000 a month, tax-free. Veterans Affairs Canada mission is to support Veteran’s and their family through the next phase of your life. Applying for these benefits is easy. To learn more about these programs and how they may help you or your family, please visit veterans.gc.ca.

The Government of Saskatchewan has provided $175,000 to DEEP Earth Energy Production Corporation (DEEP) to establish a geothermal power demonstration plant in southern Saskatchewan. The funds, to be delivered over two years through Innovation Saskatchewan’s Saskatchewan Advantage Innovation Fund (SAIF), will be used to purchase equipment and build the infrastructure needed to demonstrate the feasibility of geothermal power generation in the province. Saskatchewan’s geothermal energy resource is a 1200C aquifer buried deep underground, which has the potential to generate constant electricity, while generating zero carbon emissions. The SAIF funding for DEEP’s project supports the provincial government’s commitment to innovate and develop technological solutions to reduce the province’s greenhouse gas emissions. “Saskatchewan is already a world leader in innovative carbon capture and storage technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Tina Beaudry-Mellor said. “The Government of Saskatchewan’s funding for the DEEP geothermal power generation project continues that innovation and supports our climate change strategy to explore additional energy efficiency and innovative technologies to achieve emission reduction targets.” DEEP estimates that the hot geothermal aquifer in the project’s selected region near Estevan may support the generation of up to 500 megawatts of power. A power purchase agreement with SaskPower allows for an initial project to be developed that is expected to deliver five megawatts to the provincial grid. The company has completed a prefeasibility study for the project and will begin drilling the initial

production and injection wells in June 2018. The 3,400-metre deep wells will produce hot brine which DEEP will measure and analyze over 90 days, to determine the project’s economic feasibility. Construction of the above-ground infrastructure will occur in 2018. The power purchase agreement between the energy corporation and SaskPower was signed in May 2017, for the Crown corporation to purchase power generated from the proposed geothermal plant. The facility will be Canada’s first geothermal power plant and will contribute toward SaskPower achieving its goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030. To do this, SaskPower plans to increase its renewable generation capacity to as much as 50 per cent. Founded in 2010 by professional geoscientists, Kirsten Marcia and Steve Halabura, DEEP’s strategy is to harness Saskatchewan’s geothermal resources for long-term power generation. While Canada has a number of proven geothermal resources, there are currently no operational power plants in the country. Through public and private sector investment, the goal of DEEP’s project is to develop the province’s geothermal energy resources into commercially-viable power generation plants. “It is very exciting to launch Canada’s first geothermal power facility right here in Saskatchewan, a province known for its vast resources,” DEEP Chief Executive Officer Kirsten Marcia said. “With geothermal power being the only renewable option providing a baseload power supply, (95 per cent availability), it’s a very attractive addition to our provincial grid. DEEP is very grateful for Innovation Saskatchewan’s support in the advancement of this cutting edge renewable power project.”
