The Clubhouse is located on the lakefront on the east edge of the village of Meota, adjacent to Meota Regional Park swimming area and beach, and the Meota Golf Course.The facility boasts a spacious elevated deck with an amazing view, BBQ, large meeting/event area, modern kitchen, pool table, and washrooms with showers.The property includes a wide sandy beach for swimming, dock, access for sailboat lifts, and a large lawn for outdoor activities.

Special Interest & Recreation Battlefords Wildlife Federation More than 75 years ago a group of hunters and fishermen got together and formed an organization to stop excessive hunting and to slow down the depletion of habitat for wildlife, and to establish controls on over fishing.

This organization eventually became known as the Battlefords Wildlife Federation. At the present time there are over 300 members.

In 1975, the Battlefords Wildlife Federation in conjunction with the City of North Battleford, Ducks Unlimited and McMillan Brothers embarked on one of its most exciting and successful undertaking, “The Goose Nesting Project”.This is located within the city limits in the North Saskatchewan River Valley. The two basins cover 135 acres. An average of 50 pairs of Canada Geese nest there each year, with a yearly hatch of over 200 goslings.This wetland also provides habitat for numerous other species both migratory and local. It is a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers. A viewing tower and platforms has been built to provide magnificent opportunities to see wildlife up close.

In 2019, Battlefords Wildlife Federation started a Pheasant Program.

This program was designed to include schools, where children learned about the pheasants and have hands on experience of hatching pheasants and releasing them into the wild to help populate the species in the surrounding area. We had a successful year in 2020 and created a second pen to hold the new batch of birds from the eggs that we collected from our first batch in 2019. We hope to continue with this program and having our local schools involved in the future. Our Pheasant pens are located at Destination Battlefords in the North Saskatchewan River Valley.

On 9710 Thatcher Avenue is the George Hoey Wildlife exhibit.There are 230 taxidermy specimens on display. For a tour call Daniel at 306317-2452.

The Battlefords Wildlife Federation building also houses an indoor shooting range. It is certified and licensed for target shooting handguns and 22 rim fire rifles. Supervised “handgun shoots” are held Thursday evening at 7pm, (except for the summer months). For more information call Kevin at 306-445-5680 or Daniel at 306-317-2452.

Special Interest & Recreation Club DJ Trinity Baptist Church Club DJ is our church children’s club program designed for children from kindergarten to Grade 6. Our motto in Club DJ is “Hearts That Desire To Please God” and our aim is to encourage children to have hearts that desire to please the Lord. We truly believe that we would raise up a generation with such hearts that we would begin to see things happen in our nation that would have no explanation, except that God did it!

Club DJ is based on the covenant relationship between two friends David and Jonathan. We read about them in the book of I Samuel. David was a shepherd boy, the youngest in a family of eight boys and Jonathan was a prince, son of King Saul. Everyone would have thought that Jonathan would be king but God had other plans. Instead, God chose David to be the next king of Israel. You might think that Jonathan would be jealous, but instead, Jonathan made a covenant with David and promised to do all he could to help David become all that God wanted him to be. What a friend! Jonathan gave up all he had for David’s sake, and the Bible says David became a man after God’s own heart and that the Lord was with him.

We want the children to know they also have a friend who gave up all He had to see them become all God wants them to be. Jesus, the Son of God, left His home in Heaven to come to earth as a little baby. He died and rose again to make a way for each child to have a personal relationship with Him, so they can become all God wants them to be.What a Friend!

Club DJ at Trinity Baptist Church runs from September to April. Please call the church at 306-445-4818 for details as to cost, time and night.

Each club night consists of Bible stories, scripture memory program.

Bible quizzing, take home Bible lessons, great crafts, fun games, and an exciting achievement awards program which includes the Club DJ Catalogue.

We invite you to join us in reaching children for Christ. Our desire is to see whole families grow in Christ and live their lives for God’s honor and glory.

Ducks Unlimited Canada www.ducks.ca

Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is a private, non-profit, charitable organization that conserves, restores and manages wetlands and associated habitats. Since 1938, DUC has been restoring drained wetlands, improving those that have been degraded, and protecting others from being lost across Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan is part of the pothole region that spans Canada’s southern prairies and is known throughout North America as a unique jurisdiction for waterfowl. The many small wetlands that dot this landscape make it especially attractive to the waterfowl that migrate to Saskatchewan each spring to breed and rear their young.

Saskatchewan citizens have long valued the ecologically rich landscapes that make up their province and have played a key role in managing habitat for migratory bird species such as waterfowl. DUC’s work with the people of Saskatchewan has been essential in achieving waterfowl habitat goals and preserving those landscapes.

Waterfowl aren’t the only beneficiaries of DUC wetland and habitat conservation efforts – people benefit too.Wetlands are nature’s water filters.

Beyond improving habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife, wetlands replenish groundwater sources, purify surface water and offer flood protection and erosion control. All of which contribute to a safe water supply.

Although wetlands are considered nature’s nursery, the stark reality is that much of this habitat has been lost and the remainder continues to be degraded. Up to 70 per cent of Canada’s original wetlands have vanished in settled parts of the country, and more disappear every day.

Our conservation work is not done. To learn more about how you can support DUC and wetland conservation, please visit www.ducks.ca.

Habitat for Humanity - Battlefords Chapter In November 2012, My First Home Inc. of the Battlefords signed an agreement to operate Habitat for Humanity - The Battlefords, under the umbrella of Habitat Saskatoon. Habitat Saskatoon serves as our mentor and provides full administrative support including sending out tax receipts. This allows the local committee and volunteers to focus on the home build itself.

Homes are built using volunteer labour and donated materials.

Working families who are selected to receive a home must contribute 500 hours of “sweat equity” and enter into an affordable and sustainable, no-interest mortgage, held by Habitat Saskatoon.

Our first build was a duplex for two single parent families. It took two years to complete from the groundbreaking in 2015 to the families moving in during the summer of 2017.

We have been gifted a lot in Riverview for another build but before this can begin funds must be raised. We have dwindled to a committee of three and without more community members stepping forward to serve on the committee this build won’t happen.

Saskatchewan Health Authority – BATTLEFORDS & AREA The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) launched on December 4, 2017, transitioning 12 former regional health authorities including the former Prairie North Health Region to a single provincial health authority.

The SHA is the largest organization in Saskatchewan, employing over 44,000 employees and physicians responsible for the delivery of high quality and timely health care for the entire province.

We are driven by the commitment to improve front line patient care for Saskatchewan people, and we are working together to better coordinate health services across the province to ensure that patients receive high quality, timely health care, wherever they live in Saskatchewan.

Establishing one provincial approach to plan and deliver health-care services will break down geographic boundaries and service silos, to provide more consistent and coordinated health-care services across the province.

The work to unify the health system under a single organization and coordinate system-wide transformation, for the benefit of people working in the system and those that use it, is a multi-year journey in collaboration with patients, health-care providers and partners across the health system.
