Donor Appreciation Event Held at Martensville Recreation Centre

Jocelyn Ottenbreit, Martensville Messenger

The City of Martensville hosted a Donor Appreciation Event on Friday, April 25th at the Martensville Recreation Centre celebrating the generous support from people, businesses, and organizations that brought the MRC vision to life.

Donors and their loved ones were invited to enjoy exclusive access to the full facility amenities for a private donor afternoon following the unveiling of the Donor Recognition Wall. This wall is a tribute to those who made this remarkable achievement possible.

Darren MacDonald, councilor for the City of Martensville, started off the event recognizing the Martensville Community Recreation Project. “The MCRP was one of the core groups that has been crucial to driving this project forward and working to engage the community.”

“Their work with the city to launch the Lace ‘Em Up Campaign was a critical initiative in driving fundraising efforts and securing sponsorships for the MRC.”

Jesse Reis from the MCRP acknowledged the incredible support from the community from the beginning.

“It’s people coming together, giving your time, giving pieces of yourself to a cause to other people to make this world a better place, and when I walk in here every time, and I know our committee feels the same way, that’s what we see. We don’t just see a building; we see gifts from the great donors. We thank you so much for that. We see people coming together. We see the donation of $332 from the very first donation from a local hockey team. The goal was to build a rink, the dream was to build a community, and you all helped with making this a great community.”

MacDonald explained that the donor wall is a permanent tribute to generosity, vision and belief in our community designed with intention. Every element of the wall tells a part of the story.

“The Northern Lights dancing across the sky mirror the wonder of what Saskatchewan people can accomplish when we dare to dream together. A sky bold, radiant, and full of possibility, reflects the spirit that carried this project from conception to completion.”

The City of Martensville also stated via social media that, “Your contribution has brought the MRC vision to life, transforming the community and enhancing opportunities for Martensville and the surrounding region. Thanks to your steadfast dedication, the MRC provides a welcoming, state-of-the-art, hub where communities gather, play, and celebrate together.”

Roadway Safety Reminders

Pothole Alert: Melting snow and ice is a cause of potholes and rutting on roadways. Please drive carefully and approach standing water with caution, as it could conceal potholes. Report road damage to the city using the ‘Request for Service’ feature on our website.

Watch for Pedestrians & Cyclists: With an increase in people out walking and biking in spring, be sure to reduce your driving speed and be vigilant for pedestrians, especially in residential areas.

Collection Bin Reminders and Guidelines

Residents are reminded to return waste and recycle bins to their properties and off the street after bins have been picked up Bins left on the street are potentially subject to damage caused by wind or traffic. Bins left on the street also interfere with local traffic, street parking as well as street sweeping or utility maintenance. Per the local bylaw, any person failing to adhere to the bylaw may be subject to fines.

To ensure your home is not missed on garbage day, please follow the tips provided by Loraas Disposal.

• Have the cart curbside by 7AM on collection day

• Keep the lid closed and ensure garbage does not prevent the lid from closing, do not overfill the cart

• Bag all trash and place inside the cart, bagged or unbagged garbage placed beside, in front, or on top of the cart will not be collected

• Ensure your cart is facing the correct direction with the wheels facing the curb.

• Place your cart so there is at least 1.2 meters (4 feet) of space on all sides between your cart and all obstacles (cars, other carts, fence).

• Place your cart on even surfaces to prevent it from tipping over.

For questions about garbage and recycling collection and schedules, visit Martensville.ca or contact City Hall.

Street Sweeping Season

Street sweeping crews have started their first pass of street cleaning this week. This initial pass aims to remove the bulk of road surface debris that has built up over the winter.

Once the bulk of material removal has been completed, crews will be returning for a more thorough cleaning, which will include residential areas. Please watch for signs and posts in your neighborhood. We ask that vehicles be removed from the streets on your ‘sweep’ day, however, vehicle ticketing and towing will not be enforced.

As a reminder, please keep a safe distance from street sweeping equipment as crews work. For more information about street sweeping, contact City Hall.

Martensville Fire Department Launches “Back Alley Blitz” for Spring Safety

With the arrival of spring, the Martensville Fire Department is kicking off their Back Alley Blitz, encouraging residents to tidy up their back lanes to help keep the community both safe and beautiful.

The MFD noted that as the weather warms, overgrown grass, weeds, brush, and debris can quickly become fire hazards. These neglected areas not only increase the risk of fires but can also attract pests and reduce visibility, as well as accessibility for emergency and service vehicles.

They are asking residents to clear away debris and garbage that may obstruct alleys, trim back any brush or tree limbs and remove weeds and tall grass that may be in your alley.

The Martensville Fire Department thanks all residents for doing their part to protect and enhance our community this spring.

Those utilizing the site are reminded that it is monitored regularly, and only approved yard waste should be deposited, and no garbage dumping is allowed.

Due to the risk of Dutch Elm Disease, a provincial ban on pruning elm trees is in place from April 1-August 31, and during this time, elm branches will not be accepted at the yard waste site, or through any of the other City of Martensville disposal services.

Area Ice Surfaces Supported Through the Community Rink Affordability Grant Program

The Community Rink Affordability Grant program had another strong year with preliminary figures showing that 577 indoor ice surfaces across the province received funding.

The program awarded grants of $2,500 per ice surface in 2024-25, this included 378 skating surfaces and 199 curling surfaces, including $10,000 for three skating surfaces and one curling surface in Martensville, $7500 for three skating surfaces in Warman, $500 for one skating surface and one curling surface in Dalmeny and numerous other local community rinks and curling clubs.

"Our province's rinks play such an important role bringing residents together and serving as hubs for their communities," Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Alana Ross said. "Whether it is hockey, figure skating, curling or other activities, these facilities allow people to stay active year-round. In 2025-26, our government will double the program funding to $3.2 million, increasing the grant to $5,000 per indoor ice surface."

The Community Rink Affordability Grant, administered by the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association (SPRA), provides funding to help offset the costs of operating indoor skating and curling rinks in Saskatchewan. Communities, First Nations, schools and non-profits are eligible and encouraged to register for an annual grant per indoor ice surface.

"It is promising to see an ongoing and increased investment in recreation infrastructure through programs like the Community Rink Affordability Grant," SPRA President Darcy McLeod said. "Rinks and other parks and recreation spaces are the heart of our communities, improving health, vitality and quality of life for the people of Saskatchewan."

Kelly Block Wins Fourth Term in Carlton Trail–Eagle Creek

Conservative incumbent Kelly Block has been re-elected in Carlton Trail–Eagle Creek, winning her fourth term with a commanding 77.6 per cent of the vote in Monday’s federal election.

Block received 36,034 votes, far ahead of Liberal candidate Katelyn Zimmer (7,839 votes) and NDP candidate Cheryl Loadman (2,569 votes). Voter turnout in the riding was strong at 74.6 per cent, with more than 46,000 ballots cast.

In her victory speech, Block thanked voters and emphasized the importance of representing values like "faith, family, freedom, and hard work." She acknowledged the national results were disappointing for the Conservatives, who finished behind the Liberals for the fourth consecutive election, but noted her party won 13 of 14 seats in Saskatchewan.

“We will be returning to Ottawa to stand strong and fight every day so the voices of Canadians in the West are heard,” Block said.

Nationally, the Liberals formed a minority government with 168 seats, while the Conservatives won 144.

Clarkboro Ferry Opens for the Season

One sure-fire sign of Spring is the opening of ferries across the province, including the Clarkboro Ferry, which, according to the Highway Hotline, is the busiest ferry out of twelve within Saskatchewan.

Operating from 5am to midnight, with breaks for meals, the Clarkboro Ferry carries over 70,000 vehicles each year across the South Saskatchewan River between Warman and Aberdeen.

Saskatchewan Encourages New Pipeline Projects With Oil Infrastructure Program Extension

The Government of Saskatchewan is extending the Oil Infrastructure Investment Program (OIIP) to expand market access for Saskatchewan oil and support the continued development of carbon dioxide (CO2) pipelines. CO2 pipelines play an important role in reducing emissions and growing enhanced oil recovery capacity.

Since OIIP was introduced in 2020, 74,000 barrels per day of new oil pipeline capacity has been added through the program. To date, over $100 million in private capital investment has been secured through OIIP, with a further $380 million associated with projects that have been conditionally approved.

"This program remains essential to our goals of generating investment in new energy projects and increasing our oil export capacity," Energy and Resources Minister Colleen Young said. "Extending OIIP shows we are committed to maintaining a competitive resource development environment in Saskatchewan. The growth of our oil and gas sector is a significant priority for our government because it leads to good jobs and additional economic opportunities for the people of our province."

The extension of OIIP will allow for the program to continue accepting new applications until March 31, 2029. The program will continue to offer a 20 per cent royalty tax credit, up to a maximum of $40 million, on qualifying oil or CO2 pipeline projects.

"The extension of the Oil Infrastructure Investment Program will help the province remain a competitive destination for investment, especially as companies navigate these economically challenging times," Husky Midstream Chief Executive Officer Shane Cooke said. "As a company, we benefitted from our participation in the program when expanding our Saskatchewan operations and believe its continuation will encourage future investment in transportation infrastructure that supports new production opportunities and industry growth."

USask Veterinarians Urge Owners to Protect Dogs from Deadly Parvovirus

Veterinarians at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) are highlighting canine parvovirus prevention on April 22 as part of a national awareness day for preventing the deadly disease among dog populations.

Parvovirus (or parvo) is a highly contagious and lifethreatening virus in dogs. The virus attacks a dog’s gastrointestinal system, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, bloody diarrhea, a lack of energy and loss of appetite. The virus also disrupts a dog’s immune system by attacking the animal’s bone marrow where white blood cells are produced.

The extremely hardy virus spreads through contact with contaminated feces, and even indirect contact can spread the disease. Veterinarians recommend that all owners vaccinate their dogs against parvo—the only effective way to prevent the disease.

“Vaccination is absolutely paramount,” said Dr. Karen Sheehan, a veterinarian and clinical instructor at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) at USask.

The parvo vaccination process includes an initial three doses over eight weeks followed by a booster shot one year later and then every three years afterward. Until dogs are fully vaccinated (two weeks after their third shot), owners should avoid taking their pets to dog parks and other high-traffic environments.

“Puppies get antibodies from their mothers through colostrum (mother’s first milk), but those fade over time,” said Sheehan. “We vaccinate up to 16 or 20 weeks to make sure the puppy’s immune system responds once maternal protection drops off. There’s no easy way to know when that transition happens, so completing the full series of shots is essential.”

Griffyn, a schnauzer-pug mixed breed dog owned by Christie Tetreault, was two weeks away from completing her series of parvo vaccinations when the 14-weekold puppy came in contact with an unvaccinated dog. When Griffyn began vomiting seven days later, Tetreault rushed her pet to the WCVM Veterinary Medical Centre (VMC).

“The VMC clinical staff tested her outside, just in case. And sure enough—she tested positive for parvo. I just broke down,” said Tetreault.

For dogs that do contract the virus, early veterinary intervention is critical. Treatment focuses on supportive care, including hydration, anti-nausea medications, blood sugar monitoring and antibiotic drugs to prevent secondary infections. With appropriate treatment, the survival rate is 90 per cent.

After nine days of intensive care in the WCVM’s veterinary hospital, Griffyn recovered and was able to return home. Tetreault is collaborating with the veterinary college to raise awareness and help other pet owners avoid the same terrifying experience.

“Griffyn still loves life. She still loves everyone and everything. And somehow, she still loves vets,” said Tetreault of her dog, now two years old. “But if it hadn’t been for all the support of everyone at the WCVM, my online community, absolute strangers, family and friends who all went above and beyond, Griffyn may not have had such a positive outcome.”

Starting this month, a $10 million investment announced in the 2025-26 Provincial Budget is increasing the Personal Care Home Benefit by up to $1,000 per month, helping make the cost of living in a licensed personal care home more affordable for Saskatchewan seniors.

"This is the third year in a row our government has increased the Personal Care Home Benefit," Social Services Minister Terry Jenson said. "It is also the largest increase in the program's history that will benefit more than 2,000 seniors living in personal care homes."

As part of the increase to the Personal Care Home Benefit, Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) level-of-care benefits for personal care home residents will also increase by $120 per month.

Since its implementation in 2012, the Personal Care Home Benefit monthly income threshold has increased from $1,800 to $3,500. The Personal Care Home Benefit subsidizes seniors based on the difference between their total monthly income and the $3,500 Personal Care Home Benefit monthly income threshold.

Trespass Regulations

Amended

to Improve Public Safety, Protect Communities

The Government of Saskatchewan has passed new regulations to empower police to enforce trespass laws in businesses and public spaces such as libraries and parks. These changes are part of the province’s ongoing work to protect communities from the impact of illicit fentanyl and methamphetamine production, transportation, trafficking and street use.

Under The Trespass to Property Amendment Regulations, 2025, activities such as public intoxication and drug use will now be automatically considered trespassing in public spaces or businesses. This will allow police to immediately enforce the Act against individuals who are causing public disturbance or threatening public safety without seeking further information from owners and occupants of the premises.

" We continue to explore avenues that will provide police with additional legal tools to address harmful items and activities in public spaces, creating safer communities across the province,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Tim McLeod said. "These regulations will ensure that police can act quickly to remove individuals who pose a threat to themselves and others, ensuring our public spaces and businesses remain safe and accessible."

Under the new Regulations, police will be able to remove someone and, if necessary, charge them with an offence under The Trespass to Property Act if they are engaged in the following activities:

• public intoxication;

• use of a controlled substance;

• threatening to cause harm to persons and property through verbal, physical or other means;

• public urination or defecation;

• causing damage to premises or personal property located on the premises; and

• any other activity that constitutes an offence pursuant to the Criminal Code.

Fentanyl and methamphetamine are increasingly the cause of overdose deaths, violent crime and community instability. These new regulatory changes represent another step in Saskatchewan's ongoing work to address the negative impact of addictions, and protect businesses and public spaces from illicit drug use and other dangerous activities.
