Sask Parks 2022 camping season begins Thursday, May 19 After another successful campsite reservation launch, Saskatchewan’s provincial parks are ready to welcome campers back to the parks starting this Thursday, May 19. “The May long weekend has marked the start of a new camping season for many years now in our province,” Parks, Culture

and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. “It’s the weekend where seasonal campers set up their home away from home for the summer, and the weekend where many families get to enjoy their first campfire of the year together. We are looking forward to another busy but memorable season in the parks.”

Campers are reminded that daily and weekly park entry permits can be purchased online and printed at home in advance of their visit. If an annual entry permit has been purchased but hasn’t been delivered yet, campers will have received a temporary permit via email that can be printed and displayed in their vehicle until the permit arrives in the mail. Upon arriving in the park, campers can proceed directly to their

campsite with their entry permit displayed and they will be automatically checked-in. Guided park programs and events will kick off in many provincial parks this weekend with family-friendly activities to explore such as crafts, gnome home-building, themed hikes, campfires, night sky-gazing, geocaching, and recreation sports and activities. Details and pre-registration for programs is available at http://parks.

saskatchewan.ca under “Tickets & Events”. Self-guided Park Discovery Packs will also be available to borrow daily in most parks starting this weekend. Topics range from astronomy to birds and bugs. The packs include everything needed to complete a craft, explore the park or conduct a science experiment. Once again, an alcohol and recreational cannabis ban will be in effect for the May long week-

end. Cottages, rental cabins and any business facilities serving liquor in licensed establishments in parks are not affected by the ban. For those looking to book a last-minute May long trip, the “Camping this Weekend” feature on the Sask Parks reservation website is a great tool to quickly see what’s available nearby. For additional information on camping in Sask Parks or to book a campsite, visit http:// parks.saskatchewan.ca.

Flett said she spent the two previous weeks in classrooms with students educating them with videos and bike safety talks. “Today kicks off the first day for the bike

rodeo,” said Flett, adding, “[The students are] going to be doing an obstacle course which includes some safety skills they need to know – how to stop and brake, how to weave in and out of objects, going in a straight line – stuff like that.” “All the grade three students look forward to this event – usually when they’re in grade one and two they already know that it’s going to be coming up – so they look forward to it and it’s a good time for them to actually practice in a safe stop so that they’re not out in the middle of traffic.” “They also get a free helmet as a part of this program so that they can ride around the community safely,” said Flett. “I do see, when I’m around the community, there’s quite a few kids using the helmets that we purchased for them,” said Flett. Employees of Hometown Source for Sports were there to give bikes a quick tune up before hitting the road and the Yorkton Fire Department also attended the event to make sure the bike tires were properly inflated. “[We] definitely see a lot of good things around the community with the kids who go through the rodeo,” said Flett, “I find that it’s pretty beneficial.”

Norquay woman sings Beethoven with Regina Symphony Courtesy of Kamsack Times A Norquay woman sang with the Regina Symphony Orchestra on Saturday. Candice Nelson of Norquay, who works as the manager of SIGN Positive Impact in Kamsack, sang alto in the choir of 98 voices in the choral part in the fourth movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony on May 14, which was the RSO’s season finale. Beethoven’s iconic symphony included four guest vocalists and the local choir, all under the baton of Maestro Gordon Gerrard, the conductor. Performing with the Beethoven Nine Chorus were: Andrea Lett, soprano; Adam Luther, tenor; Dion Mazerolle, bassbaritone, and Stephanie Tritchew, mezzo soprano. During the concert, Janina Fialkowska was featured in the popular Grieg Concerto in A minor for Piano and Orchestra. “We’ve been practicing since August 2021 and were originally supposed to have the concert in January, but postponed it to May 14 due to COVID-19,” Nelson said. “We had our last practice in December, took a Christmas break, and didn’t start up again at the end of April.” Living in Norquay Nelson drove the 600-kilometre round trip each Sunday for the twohour practice. “But I absolutely loved it,” she said. “I’ll miss it (now that) it’s over.” Nelson was raised in Edmonton and started singing in the All City Junior High Choir when she was in Grade 4. “We had an incredible conductor, Garth Worthington,” she said. “Edmonton just named a school after him. “I also sang in choir and vocal jazz in high school under the direction of Joedy Missal, but after Worthington retired, the bar had been set pretty high and not many other choral experiences could meet it. “I’ve sung in church for years and also did backup vocals for Jackie Guy for a couple concerts

including a memorable couple days when we opened for Sawyer Brown in North Battleford and Saskatoon, but this is probably my biggest vocal adventure. “I grew up singing soprano, but I’m singing alto for this. The music is challenging in so many ways! The words are in German which is the obvious first challenge to get all those consonant sounds in, but Beethoven didn’t consider the fact that there was a human behind the vocals he was writing! It’s really high and really low and really soft then really loud. Then slow then fast! “Anyway, it’s a pretty cool thing in my life,” she said. Nelson moved to Norquay in 2007 and worked for Sunrise Health Region as a Physical and Occupational Therapy assistant in every facility from Yorkton to the north (Yorkton LTC, Yorkton hospital, Norquay, Invermay, Preeceville, Kamsack and Canora hospitals/health centres). She returned to school and received her bachelor of social work degree in 2017 and has been working for SIGN since 2018.

This is a photograph of the entire ensemble for Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony which was performed by the Regina Symphony Orchestra on Saturday. Nelson said that the RSO has decided to continue with the RSO chorus beyond this one symphony and appointed Dorianna Holowachuk as the RSO choral director beyond Beethoven’s 9th. The decision was announced at the performance. “So there will be opportunity to sing again next season,” Nelson said. “I believe they’re planning to preform Brahms: German Requiem. I’m thinking I’ll start saving up gas money to perform in it as well.” sing in the car and whistle while I work, so to speak! Music is a bit of self-care for me. I drive a lot for work and sing in the car, sometimes it’s

90s grunge, sometimes it’s ballads, sometimes it’s musical theater songs or songs I grew up singing in choir. “I think music uses

a different part of your brain and it’s good to kick that part in every once in

a while. It’s a precious thing, so I’m careful to not abuse it.”

She lives in Norquay with her husband Douglas and two sons. “As for what is next in my singing life? I don’t know! If you had asked me year ago if I would be driving 600km each week for choir practice I would have thought you were nuts! “When COVID hit and things closed, music was something I could keep doing regardless of restrictions,” she said. “I can sing in my head,

EDITORIAL Melfort’s MacIntosh takes on national softball coaching job Keith MacIntosh of Melfort has been named head coach of the Junior Women’s National Team program for the next WBSC U18 Women’s Softball World Cup cycle from 2023-2025. MacIntosh said it’s a bit unusual for a national coach to come out of Saskatchewan, but he had been involved nationally for several years, and when the U18 position opened, he applied. “I threw my hat in the ring,” he said adding, “I was fortunate to get the gig.” He served as an assistant coach in 2013, and 2015 before becoming head coach for the 2017 cycle and most recently leading Canada to its first-ever medal at the Junior Women’s level with a bronze medal at the 2019 U19 World Cup. He is a National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) Competition – Development Certified coach.

of the team development process. That all said, MacIntosh does see the four-year cycle as allowing to build a program with more chance to help players become better. As a team, having a known group should help.

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports MacIntosh takes over the program just as a major change has taken place in terms of World Cup play, moving from every two years to every four. The next U18 Women’s World Cup cycle will consist of five continental qualifiers to be held in 2023, followed by the group stage (18 teams divided among three different locations) in 2024 and the World Cup Finals (eight teams) in 2025. The change will fundamentally change how he builds a team. Under the old system of playing every two years “it was pick a team and play,” he said, lik-

ening very much to World Junior Hockey. “There was no real opportunity for development, to get together and teach a whole lot,” he said. Now, with championships every four years, the focus on team building will have to change. MacIntosh said he’ll start the process looking at players born in 2007 who will be top of the age group “four years down the road.” But, it’s not always easy to evaluate a U15 player in terms of what they might be in four years. “The process is going to be a lot different,” said

Keith MacIntosh Photo courtesy Softball Canada MacIntosh. For example, a player might not immediately catch the eye of national program coache, then have a growth spurt over the win, “and all of a sudden they’re on the radar.” Similarly, top softball athletes are also often good at other sports, and some players who are on MacIntosh’s early list of prospects may chose other sport paths. As a result, MacIntosh said by the time 15 players head to the next World Championship there will probably have been 30 who were part

“The neat thing, we should be able to build a core,” said MacIntosh, pointing to the National Team which won bronze medals at the most recent Summer Olympics, where 10 or 12 players had been together for a decade. The first chance to evaluate the young talent which could be part of the U18 team in 2025 will come this summer, with the Canada Cup in White Rock, B.C. the end of June and the U15 Nationals in Saskatoon the first week in August. The Saskatoon event will feature around 20 teams, including three expected from

Preeceville veteran honoured with quilt Courtesy of Preeceville Progress The Royal Canadian Legion, Preeceville branch presented Second World War veteran Melvin Stone with a special Quilt of Valour to show appreciation for his years of service in the Royal Canadian Legion. Bill Lesko and Jeremy Mattison, representatives from the Legion, made the presentation to Stone on May 11. Stone is currently a resident of the Preeceville Personal Care Home and will be celebrating his 100th birthday in October. The attached thankyou card stated, “On behalf of the Quilts of Valour, Canada Society in recognition of your service and sacrifice for Canada and all Canadians it is our privilege to honour and comfort you. Though we may not know the depth of your sacrifice to protect and defend our freedom, we thank you. As a gesture of gratitude from a grateful nation, we present you with this Quilt of Valour.” “In 2006, a local Edmonton quilter pre-

are made by volunteer quilters from across the country who wished to show their appreciation to our injured Canadian Armed Forces members, past and present for their bravery and commitment to Canada and its citizens. The quilts come from individuals, groups and guilds, men and women, young people, retired armed forces members themselves and many others with no connection to the military.

It was her way of saying “Thank You” and giving some comfort to these military members. She was not prepared for the impact of meeting these brave young men and learn-

ing first hand of their injuries. It made such an impression that it has taken quilter Lezley Zwaal in directions she never imagined. From these humble beginnings Quilts of Valour Canada was born. The mission is to ensure that injured Canadian Forces members are recognized for their service and commitment to our country. We give this support through the presentation of quilts to com-

fort our injured past and present Canadian Forces members. Through the encouragement, support and enthusiasm of quilters, the Quilts of Valour Canada Society was formed as a registered national charity in 2009. The Quilts of Valour – Canada Society has presented quilts to thousands of recipients who are coping with injuries both visible and invisible. These quilts

A Quilt of Valour is a hug from a grateful nation and a tribute to an injured Canadian Armed Forces member, past or present. Although most will never know the soldier who will receive a quilt, imagine what it would be like for those who did know the soldier. What if that soldier was your spouse, your brother/sister, your friend or your child? A Quilt of Valour serves a special purpose and quality construction is important. Quilt standards must reflect the level of gratitude that we want to demonstrate to the recipient.

Saskatchewan, said MacIntosh. T y p i c a l l y , Saskatchewan has not put a lot of players on the U18 teams, as “softball is a secondary sport for a lot of kids,” in the province, noted MacIntosh. The sport is also popular only in certain communities as opposed to generally across the province, although that is changing. “It’s in pockets, but the pockets are getting better, so that’s good,” said MacIntosh. And players can get better too, if they want to focus on the sport, “by working their butts off all winter and by being goal driven to get there,” he said. If that happens, the doors at the national level can open. “I believe Saskatchewan can put some players on the team, but they’ve got to want it, and go after it,” said MacIntosh.

Brandon gaming convention has history One of the best memories of summer as a child is that moment you manage to ride your bicycle sans training wheels or someone running alongside with a steadying hand. It is one of those moments where a youth feels one of their earliest moments of accomplishment and independence. But, that first wobbly solo ride doesn’t mean children don’t need those of us driving city streets to pay a little more attention during the warm months of spring and summer knowing people of all ages and levels of experience are going to be out riding their bikes. That is why Bicycle Safety Week has been held in Saskatchewan the past 20 years. Bicycle Safety Week is an opportunity to pay special attention to child cyclists, provide education, and hold events to promote safe cycling. The Minister of Crown Investments has designated May 15-21, the official Bicycle Safety

Week, which is why members of the Yorkton RCMP, the Yorkton Fire Department, Mayor Hippsley and employees of Hometown Source for Sports were in attendance at Yorkdale Central School Monday for the Grade Three Bike Safety Rodeo. “We do it pretty much every year for all of the grade three students,” said Constable Kimberly Flett of the Yorkton RCMP and School Resource Officer for all of the schools in Yorkton. The theme for 2022 is Ready to Ride with a focus on ensuring children have the proper equipment and skills to get ready to ride their bicycles. Many communities across Saskatchewan, such as Yorkton, are hosting bike rodeos throughout spring and summer where children will have the opportunity to have their helmets and bicycles adjusted to ensure proper fit, as well as learn and practice

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com bicycle safety skills. In Yorkton youth in If you are looking to experience some new games and meet some like-minded board gamers, then a trip to Brandon at month end for PrairieCon should be up for consideration. PrairieCon was first started over 30 years ago by a gaming club at Brandon University. It used to be a much smaller event, and it used to take place multiple times per year. Now it’s grown to become a non-profit with a board of volunteers that hosts one main weekend event with a few smaller individual Games Days. In correspondence with the events Board, it

was noted the pandemic has been a barrier to a live show the last couple of years. “COVID has been a huge challenge and for tabletop gamers it’s meant we’ve had to pause on our favourite hobby,” they noted. “While many folks were able to move their gaming to the various tools online, it just wasn’t the same as being in person with your friends and family.” How COVID in 2022 may impact the upcoming event remains an unknown. “We don’t know yet how our total attendance will be affected by COVID this year, but we’ve heard from so many that they’re

happy we’re back,” they noted. One new change for this year is PrairieCon will now be at the Keystone Centre. “The Keystone is an event centre, and is a much larger space, so we still need to see how we will use it and grow into it,” noted the Board. “The Keystone is also located in the middle of Brandon, much closer to hotels and other restaurants, so we’re hoping that works out well.” There is a fee for PrairieCon; $50 at the door for a full weekend pass, and you save a few dollars if you register online ahead of the event. Badge sales started on May 7, when you pay your admission for PrairieCon, and on May 14, we opened up the tickets for game selection, which allow attendees to ensure a seat at the table to play games being hosted. “There are so many new games this year and

gaming is hard to keep up with as so many great new games come out each year,” reported the board. “We encourage folks who are curious about PrairieCon to check out our website (www.prairiecon.com), where you can find out about the con, and you can also get to our tabletop.events page where people can view the games listings and purchase their badges online.” volved Monday received a free helmet as a part of this program so that they can ride around the community safely, said Flett. Being safe when riding is important since cycling-related injuries are a leading cause of hospitalizations in children and youth. Education and awareness are key for reducing these injuries. Certainly, when children, parents, caregivers, and communities work together, serious and lifealtering bicycle injuries can be prevented.

Cornerstone Credit Union allots $50,000 towards Innovative Community Projects Previously offering $30,000 in funding for community development initiatives, Cornerstone Credit Union announces an increase to $50,000 to further support the communities they serve. Applications for funding are being accepted until September 30, 2022. “These last few years have been a very difficult time for many groups and organizations,” says Doug Jones, CEO of Cornerstone Credit Union. “In 2020 and 2021, many of our local groups had to overcome numerous hurdles to stay afloat. As a Financial Cooperative, we’re committed to giving back to our members and the communities that have so graciously supported us through the years. By increasing the amount of funding available, we’re able to make a larger impact in our communities during a time when it is needed the most. We want to help our communities to thrive, not just survive.” Project Cornerstone is only one of the many ways Cornerstone and its employees provide support within the community. Each year, our employees ‘walk the talk’ by contributing several thousands of hours volunteering with groups and events. 5 In 2021 alone, over $200,000 was invested back into the communities served through community investment initiatives, sponsorships, scholarships, and donations. “The funding avail-

Parasitic mite causing headaches for local honey producers Courtesy of Canora Courier Located south of Canora near Good Spirit Lake, the Howland family has been keeping bees and selling honey for over 40 years under the name Howland’s Honey. Dan Wasylenchuk, who married into the Howland family, said in most years, being part of the operation is a lot of fun. “It’s that farm lifestyle, connected with nature,” shared

Glen Kozak 306-621-6777

Wasylenchuk. “You can set your own pace. Bees are amazing, it’s fun to watch them do their thing. For a small insect they do a lot of heavy work. In Saskatchewan, an average-sized hive of 60,000 bees can produce 300 pounds of honey.” But for Howland’s Honey, along with many other honey producers, there is a real threat to their operations for the 2022 season. The varroa mite is appearing in hives across most of North America, with the potential for major loss-

Sandi Shewchuk 306-621-9015

es. “The varroa mite is a parasitic mite that lives on the bee, and it’s not a natural parasite to the European-style honey bee we use in Canada,” explained Wasylenchuk. “Once the eggs hatch, the mite feeds off the young larval bee, creates open wounds, weakens the immune system and brings on viruses and other things that can cause death of the hive in severe cases.” Once the mites are in the hive in large enough numbers, the viruses are

Robby Bear 306-641-4977

allowed to take hold. “Without the mite, the bees would be healthier and better able to fight off the viruses, much like we humans can survive the common cold unless we have been compromised by other health issues.” Howland’s Honey has dealt with the varroa mite in varying levels of severity since the 1980s. History tells them that once the mites get into hives, overwintering losses average around 30 to 40 per cent, but can be anywhere from 10 per

cent to over 90 per cent. Wasylenchuk said multiple factors have come together to create potentially severe losses in 2022. “Last year there was a mite buildup, then last winter was a tough winter for overwintering hives in most of North America. We had higher than normal losses due to colder temperatures, the winter was really long with more wind than usual, and we had snow cover until the end of April,” continued Wasylenchuk. “A low level dose of insecticide is the accepted method of dealing with the varroa mite. But its effectiveness is

starting to decrease, which is also part of the problem. Researchers are looking for answers.” Howland’s Honey packages its own product and the honey is sold through a variety of retail outlets including Gateway Co-op and Costco. “Normally at this time of year we are busy unwrapping hives and doing health checks on bees, but we are behind normal on that because of the long winter,” said Wasylenchuk. Being a very labourintensive operation, they have up to 20 employees during the busy season in the summer.

The Yorkton International Film Festival came into being soon after the establishment of the Yorkton Film Council in 1947. The Film Council, with the assistance of the National Film Board, provided Canadian documentaries for local and district folks to view. The NFB fieldman for the region, James Lysyshyn, convinced the Yorkton Film Council it could do more – host an international film festival! Somewhat doubtful at first, they agreed to start working on a festival. Here, a group works on organizing the first festival for 1950: Paul Welgan, second from left, James Lysyshyn next to him, and Nettie Kryski. The others in the photo are unidentified.

The audience at film screenings at the 1952 festival. Changes had been made since the first festival two years earlier: the festival was extended to three days from two, films were shown in larger venues -- York Theatre and the auditoriums at St. Joseph’s College and the Yorkton Collegiate Institute, the first banquet was held, and submission included films in colour, a new and emerging technology.

The festival has gone through several themes over the past 75 years, having had an audacious start as an international film festival in a small city on the Canadian prairies. It went from film, to film and video, to short film and video, and in the late 1990s playing on its country attitude. The festival is now firmly established as a must-enter and must=attend event for emerging Canadian film makers.

The realities of flying Recently, I had the privilege of travelling by aircraft. Since it’s been a few years, I couldn’t help noticing a few changes, and I also found myself reminiscing. A few years ago my husband and I flew to Hawaii. On the way there our plane was detained because the armrest close to mine had been knocked off it’s bearings. I approached the seat but had to stand in the aisle, waiting as the pilot (yes! the PILOT) attempted to fix it. As I stared at his kneeling form I had to ask if it was standard procedure for the pilot to fix broken parts on the plane. He answered, “Well, they teach us a little about a lot of things when we become pilots,” to which I was then compelled to say, “I hope you learned more than a “lit-

tle” about your job at the front of the plane.” He laughed but said nothing more to me as he asked the flight attendant for duct tape. (I’m not kidding.) After the armrest was taped up, he calmly strode to the front and soon we were flying. When I finally dozed off, I fitfully dreamt of other parts of the plane that might be taped with something meant for ducts. A few weeks later, since we were leaving Hawaii at midnight, my husband splurged another hundred bucks so that we could be offered warm towels and an extra cookie in the more spacious seats at the very front of the plane. I was lulled into a false sense of security, thinking this would be much more comfortable and conducive to a

PATTIE JANZEN

Laugh at Life... Revisited good night’s sleep, but only minutes into the flight a young woman collapsed on her way into the bathroom closest to me and I could not ignore the display that immediately unfolded. I believe flight attendants are also taught a “little” about many things, so over the next hour I kept busy taking vital signs and a rather thorough history, when the woman came to. Thankful then, that she had only fainted, I sat back down, glan-

cing at my husband who appeared to be sleeping with his head inside the window space. I was then offered “whatever I wanted” from the kindly attendant before I might have dozed off, but another passenger crumpled only moments later, in almost the same spot as the young lady had. This older man had a much more coloured history but after some oxygen and help from myself and a very excited young

medical student, the man also lived to tell the tale. After that, I told my husband he no longer needed to buy the more expensive seats because I suspect when I’m seated in the back half of the tube-of-death-or-at-leastdisease I may actually get more rest. It seems the real fun happens near the bathroom at the front. (I must admit, however, it was the most exciting flight I’ve ever been on.) This brings us to the “after pandemic” flight we’ve recently taken. The announcements remain the same, with the addition of “you must keep your mask on unless you’re eating or drinking”, which makes little sense. And, it still gives me a chuckle when they routinely announce “in case of emergency, the floor lights will go on”. I don’t know about you

but if the plane suddenly catches fire or begins careening to earth at an alarming speed, I don’t think I’ll be fixated on a few lights dotting the floor. How would those possibly help? Dead is dead, whether or not the bodies are lit up. But … they feel better telling us about them so whatever. On this recent flight, however, the newest thing being offered to every passenger as you board the plane is … an anti-bacterial wipe. Yes! Not only did we each pay for our flights but every one of us got to clean the plane! This, of course, gave me a brilliant idea! The next time anyone visits my home (for no charge, I might add) the offer of a rag and some soap might be on the itinerary. But no worries — no mask required.

T. Rex Discovery Centre opening doors for 2022 season Submitted On Saturday, May 21, the T. rex Discovery Centre (TRDC) will open its doors and welcome visitors for the 2022 season. Located in Eastend, the T. rex Discovery Centre is the home of Scotty, the world’s

largest T. rex. Guests can get a closeup look at the world’s largest Tyrannosaurus rex specimen at the CN Scotty Gallery, in addition to checking out the Paleo Lab Experience and some of the other latest discoveries by Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) palaeontologists.

“After an amazing season last year, I am thrilled to announce that the T.rex Discovery Centre in the Eastend is ready to re-open for 2022,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. “The T.rex Discovery Centre offers fantastic palaeontological exhibits, programs and

events and I encourage Saskatchewan residents to take the opportunity to check out Scotty and the rest of the Discovery Centre’s amazing offerings.” In 2021, 12,250 visitors passed through the gates, eclipsing the previous mark of 10,440, set in 2018. The Paleo Lab

Experience is an interactive area for visitors to engage with TRDC staff and learn about the research that is occurring at the centre. Depending on what is happening in the lab, visitors may assist in uncovering the secrets of a field jacket or look for microfossils. A new Tylosaur display is

being added to the Paleo Lab. Along with the Paleo Lab Experience, the TRDC and the Town of Eastend have fun and engaging activities for the entire family. Explore the beautiful landscape of the Cypress Hills on the hiking trails situated Continued on Page 14

This spring, Nature Conservancy of Canada suggests ways to help nature close to home Submitted by Jensen Edwards, National Media Relations Manager Nature Conservancy of Canada As the mercury slowly rises, many Canadians are making springtime plans for their lawns, backyards, flower beds and gardens. While “No Mow” and “Slow Mow May” have been tried by many people over the past couple of springs, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is encouraging people to find more new ways to naturalize their yards this year. The not-for-profit land conservation organization says that growing native plants is a small act of conservation that helps urban wildlife and biodiversity in many ways. With about 80 per cent of Canadians living in urban settings, what we choose to put into our yards and on our balconies can benefit the plants and animals that share our neighbourhoods. Samantha Knight, NCC’s national conservation science manager, says actions we take close to home can help

some wildlife populations, improve the health of urban ecosystems and foster our connection with nature. “We often think of the spaces where we live as separate from nature, but they are an integral part of the ecosystem. The plants we choose to grow will have a significant influence on the diversity and abundance of native wildlife. Native trees, shrubs and wildflowers support a greater diversity of pollinators and other insects than traditional horticultural plants and are an opportunity to learn about local biodiversity.” By devoting even a small portion of their lawn, garden or balcony planters to native species, people in Canada can give biodiversity a big boost. That’s why NCC encourages people to challenge themselves to convert a portion of their growing space to a haven for native species, as a way to support the plants, insects and animals that are our natural neighbours. Here are some tips and things to consider when planning a native

species garden: · Find out what kind of soils and plant communities naturally occur locally. This will inform what sorts of native plants will do best in your garden. • Many regions have native species councils and invasive species councils, which can offer information on what plants to sow and what plants to avoid, when planning a native garden. Visit the Canadian Council on Invasive Species “Be Plant Wise” program for more information. • Garden centres and local native plant suppliers can tell you where their plants come from and in what conditions they grow best. Sticking to plants adapted to grow locally is a good way to support regional biodiversity and to ensure your garden flourishes. • Native plants have evolved alongside wild bees, butterflies and other pollinators. As a result, they provide better habitat than nonnative ornamental varieties do. • People can consult experts, read a book on

local species or use an app like iNaturalist to identify plants already growing in their yards. For details on some commonly found invasive species, visit NCC’s website. “Spending time in nature is good for our physical and mental health. Planting native gardens invites nature in and offers refuge for local wildlife. It’s a good way to connect to nature, get the whole family involved and watch the fruits of your labour flourish,” said Knight. About The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is the country’s unifying force for nature. NCC seeks solutions to the twin crises of rapid biodiversity loss and climate change through large-scale, permanent land conservation. As a trusted partner, NCC works with people, communities, businesses and government to protect and care for our country’s most important natural areas. Since 1962, NCC has brought Canadians together to help conserve and restore more than 15 million hectares.

SaskSoil launches new producer program to improve soil health and on-farm profitability SaskSoil is celebrating National Soil Conservation Week with the launch of a new producer program specifically designed to improve soil health. The Marginal Areas Rehabilitation in Saskatchewan (MARS) program pays a financial incentive for producers to seed marginal acres to perennial forage. Forages are being increasingly recommended as a means to manage and treat saline field areas, but the list of additional agri-environmental benefits associated with the practice is growing. Forages conserve soil, increase pollinator habitat and biodiversity, reduce herbicide-resistant weeds, act as product management buffer zones, and can help address clubroot challenges. When it comes to finding practical and pragmatic solutions, farmers are a driving force. “Many landowners have trouble spots they suspect cost more than they produce. SaskSoil’s MARS program will help cover the costs of trialing an alternative management strategy that works to move both the soil and profitability in a positive direction,” says Mark Hoimyr, SaskSoil president. Through the MARS program, Saskatchewan producers will have the opportunity to work with professional agrologists to help identify problem areas in their fields. In addition to receiving a $2000 rebate toward the cost of this service, participating producers will receive $75/acre to plant these identified areas to perennial forages. MARS is endorsed by Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC); producers who sign up for the program before May 15 will receive a bonus pollinator-friendly seed blend. Trevor Plews, head of conservation programs with DUC, is excited at the opportunity this new partnership between DUC and SaskSoil will bring to producers. “Through improving soil health and profitability, this additional program offering to convert marginal acres to forage will benefit Saskatchewan farms, farmers and wildlife alike.” For more information on MARS, visit sasksoil.ca or email MARS@sasksoil.ca.
