Father’s Day celebrated a bit early

Father’s Day is coming up, and to celebrate, the Western Development Museum held their ‘Daddy and I, Coffee and Pie’ event Sunday. The kids and their dads came by to have some refreshments, and, of course, pie. “It’s just an opportunity for daddies, stepdads, granddads to come, you know, with some kids or their families to enjoy the museum, explore -- and some crafts,” said Solange Massicotte, Education and Public Events Coordinator for the Western Development Museum.
“We have an ‘I Spy’ game where we have objects [with] close up pictures of [these particular] objects and they have to go and find in the museum where it is. We also have a scavenger hunt which is something we commonly do. It’s kind of just a nice, fun afternoon where you can kind of celebrate Father’s Day a week in advance, because sometimes people have things on the actual Father’s Day. It’s something we do every year at the Museum.”

action is expected to be taken unless the bears return and become disruptive. The Ministry of Environment reminds people that Saskatchewan has a healthy bear population and it is not uncommon to see bears in the wild at this time of year, especially young ones on the move as they are establish-
ing new territory. They are attracted to new smells and looking for food. Their range includes all northern Saskatchewan forests, extending southward into the aspen parkland, plus some more isolated ranges such as the Cypress Hills, Touchwood Hills, and the Qu’Appelle Valley. Most bears are cautious around humans and it is rare that they charge or chase a human in normal circum-

Ensure you take the appropriate precautions when enjoying provincial parks, campgrounds and natural areas.
