Chocolate waffles

Today’s recipe is for chocoholics of all ages and will come just in time for strawberry season!

There was an “archery” station where kids threw foam bats at targets.

The kids tried out bucket ball, which is just kickball with a bucket at the pitcher’s mound.

Chocolate waffles with strawberries Topping: Waffles: 3 cups fresh strawberries, 2 egg whites sliced 2 Tbsp. white sugar 2/3 cup water 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup cocoa powder 1 tsp. strawberry flavoring 3 tsp. baking powder or vanilla 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1 Tbsp. lemon juice 4 Tbsp. oil 1 Tbsp. cornstarch 2 egg yolks extra sliced strawberries 1 1/2 cup milk for garnish whipped topping of your choice Have your egg whites at room temperature as they beat up fluffier that way. Beat egg whites until stiff peak forms, add the sugar and set aside. In a bowl combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir the oil, egg yolks and milk together and add to the flour mixture. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.

Cook the waffles according to the instructions on your waffle iron.

Topping: In a pot add the strawberries, water and sugar and gently boil for 3-4 minutes. To a cup add the vanilla, lemon juice and cornstarch and stir together. Add to the strawberries and cook for 2-3 minutes more or until slightly thickened. Serve warm or cold over the waffles.

Any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts.

Saturday hot spot

Tundra

by Chad Carpenter

I

Canada Day a good time to take stock T oday, Canada Day is a great day to be a Canadian.

People who were born here may not appreciate Canada as much as or in the same way as someone who moved here. Canada, for all its faults, is a really good place to live. We need to “stand on guard” for Canada as it may continue to grow even greater. Or it could go downhill.

History proves that countries rise and fall on the efforts and directions taken by its citizens.

Let’s look at some nation defining factors.

A quick check of statistics shows that gun deaths in the States are indeed a significant cause of death. A check for Canada did not seem to turn up accurate stats. For what it’s worth, Wikipedia says: Gun violence in the United States results in thousands of deaths and injuries annually.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2013, there were a total of 33,636 deaths due to firearms.

In 2011, the most recent year that I could find stats for, there were 730,000 baby deaths by abortion in the United States.

In 2011 there were 33,000 highway traffic deaths in the United States.

Death is death and we need to do all we can to lower death rates. If we truly believe what we say, that is that people are our greatest resource, our greatest strength, then we need to look at every way possible to reduce our death rates, regardless of cause.

No one truly believes that people are disposable, but it’s hard to tell when you look at a nation’s vital statistics.

Looking at Canada would likely show some different ratios.

Likely, our gun deaths are at a lower proportion than in the United States. However, the point

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell is that reducing death losses should take a higher priority on our time and effort than have shown in the past.

Canada is quite good at protecting human rights. It’s also really good at pretending to protect human rights. We spend a lot of time segmenting our efforts. We built a beautiful Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg all the while, within the very shadow of that edifice, human rights are being trampled every day. We spend a lot of time arguing about things such as gay pride parades when we should be talking about and doing something about human rights across the whole spectrum.

I believe in human rights. What I don’t believe in is segmenting and compartmentalizing our human rights efforts. Parades and museums don’t cut it as long as we have communities in Manitoba without clean water, without proper education facilities, without proper law enforcement.

We should all be upset about murdered and missing indigenous women. It’s a huge problem in Canada and in Manitoba.

However, we need to be aware that, unlike what some media and activists would have us believe, the whole problem doesn’t rest only with white men. They are to blame for a share of the issue, but a lot of the problem rests with some violent indigenous men (and women). It rests with

drugs, alcohol, poverty, terrible living conditions and sometimes just plain stupidity. There’s lots of blame to go around.

Governments need to face up to their share of blame. In Manitoba, the NDP government spent 17 years telling us how bad things were under the Conservatives and wasted a lot of time and energy blaming instead of solving. Now, the Conservatives can prove them wrong. On the other hand, the Liberals are in power in Ottawa and they can step up and make things better by leadership and, in some cases, direct intervention. The First Nations leadership also bear some responsibility. Over the past 40 years, they have turned down many offers to modernize First Nations governance. They have also failed to make their case to the general public when government regulations have been downright harmful.

I think that, for now, the Manitoba government is on the right track by having open discussions with all groups and trying to deal with real issues. Time will tell if progress can be made.

If we get better living conditions, if we reduce untimely death from all causes, if we get human rights extended and enhanced for everyone, then we will make progress. Canada Day is a good day to evaluate where we are at.

We’ll see what we can measure on July 1 in succeeding years.

t was a bustling Saturday night, the shops were open until 9 pm, the restaurants were full and it was hard to find a parking spot on the main drag. This isn’t a scene from modern Toronto, London or New York. This was Neepawa on a Saturday night in the 1950s.

It’s hard to believe.

I was doing some research MY last week and PERSPECTIVE I came across a 2014 article by Rick Sparling that recounted ate his memories ackman tkinson of Saturday nights growing up in the 1950s and ‘60s in Neepawa. Sparling now lives in Winnipeg, but he has written many articles about the town during the middle half of the last century– the Neepawa of his youth.

He’s also written a book called the History of Public School Hockey in Neepawa and is working on another book, this one about amateur hockey in Neepawa.

On Saturdays in the 1950s, the Roxy Theatre showed three movies and not only were the hardware, grocery and department stores open late, so too were the car dealerships. The streets were full with farm families from across the area, from Plumas to Franklin, who came to Neepawa for their entertainment and some shopping.

I found the story so fascinating, if only because it’s such a contrast to a Saturday in town today. Never mind open until 9 pm, many of the stores in Neepawa that are open at all on Saturday close within a few hours of noon.

In the 1950s, not only were there restaurants and the Roxy Theatre, there were also pool halls, dance halls and bowling alleys to keep residents and visitors entertained. Today, the options for some Saturday night fun are far more limited.

I would love to see such a bustling atmosphere and I suspect a lot of factors have combined to create today’s drearier reality.

Sparling opens by mentioning that without television, people had to leave their homes to find entertainment. Today, from our couches, we can watch almost every TV show or movie ever created. Not only can we watch these at home, we don’t even have to leave the house to get them, much to the disappointment of corner stores and video rental shops.

The changes do reflect a seismic shift in how rural Canadians live and work. Sixty years ago, Saturday was generally the only time farm families from Plumas, or Riding Mountain, or Franklin came to town. Today, between work and school, a family member is probably in town close to every day.

People don’t have to get all their building supplies or weekly groceries on Saturday evening, because they picked them up on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday when they were in town.

Have Brandon and Winnipeg become what our towns were, the bustling Saturday hot spot? Is that because of novelty or necessity? Did the people stop shopping late and the stores stopped staying open? Or was it the other way around? Have increasing levels of regulation made it too expensive to stay open late on a Saturday?

As people become increasingly busy with jobs and family commitments, I wonder just how many area residents would appreciate the opportunity to shop late on a Saturday. Or a Friday. Could we see a similar scene today? Or have the times changed too much?

While Sparling painted his scene of Neepawa, I suspect similar scenes played out in other towns across our coverage area. While I don’t long for the days of isolation, hardship and only weekly trips to town, I do envy the sense of community that must have existed on those Saturday nights.

As we step back and look at where our towns are, and what we would like them to become, I can’t help but think that we could all benefit from these shared experiences and the stronger sense of community they create.

Opinion

JULY 1, 2016

An impossible dream O

ne of these days, I hope to visit the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg.

I have driven by the museum dozens of times.

It will be nice to finally go inside and spend a few hours looking at the different exhibits, gaining an appreciation for the progress Canada has made in the field of human rights and being reminded of how much work we still need to do.

As I write these words, I am fully aware of the mixed feelings that are generated whenever we read or hear the words “human rights.”

For every group that demands legal recognition of their rights, there is at least one (often more) who will argue that if those demands are met, they stand to lose some of their already recognized rights.

Any effort by government (and it doesn’t matter what party is in power) to find a compromise seems doomed to failure. Ultimately, the Supreme Court decides who gets what and governments have to

FAITHFULLY YOURS

Neil Strohschein pass the laws decreed by the court.

All of which leads me to one conclusion—we will never be able to build a society in which every citizen has all the rights to which he or she feels entitled.

We won’t because, in my opinion, we can’t. There will always be those who will feel that by granting rights to someone else, the government or the court has reduced their rights.

Pleasing everyone is an impossible dream.

So how do we resolve this impasse? I would like to suggest that we stop talking about rights and start talking about two concepts that, if understood and consistently applied to the lives of Canadians, will enable us to interact with others without violating their basic human rights.

The first of these is respect for the dignity and value of every individual.

In Psalm 139, King David of ancient Israel praised God because he (David) “was fearfully and wonderfully made.” The prophet Jeremiah was told that long before he was conceived in his mother’s womb, God knew where and when he would be born and what kind of person he would become.

On that basis, God called the yet unborn Jeremiah to be a prophet to the nations.

(Jeremiah 1:4-5) What applied to Jeremiah applies to every person who ever has or ever will live on this planet. Every person on earth is a unique creation of God. Every person on earth has something of value to give to the rest of society. Every person is therefore worthy of dignity

and respect.

The second concept is responsibility. We have a duty to think, speak and act in ways that will make our world a more loving, accepting, forgiving and caring place than it is now. We may not agree with the choices that some people make. We may not share their values or philosophies of life. But that does not allow any of us to treat those with whom we do not agree as second class citizens or to openly slander, belittle, mock or unleash any form of violence against them.

One final comment must be made. Respect and responsibility must be consistently practised by every person who lives within our borders. Past offenses or grievances do not give any individual or group permission to show bias, prejudice, racism, hate or any form of discrimination against those they feel did this to them in the past.

There is a right way to address these grievances; and that is to seek justice.

We will explore that option next week.

A flash of golden sneakers...

W hen my friend and I spent time in Holland, we stayed several days in Groningen.

Our accommodation was a lovely old hotel in the heart of the city – Miss Blanche – kitchen, living room, bedroom, water closet and bathroom. Walking distance to almost everywhere. As we paused for a coffee at the train station, Marie struck up a conversation with a well kept, articulate woman.

She was seventy-five years old, and doing quick math, four when the war ended.

An acupuncturist by profession, she still works two days a week because she is very good at it and enjoys her work. Her family is encouraging her to slow down, but after engaging in conversation, I don’t think that will happen any time soon! She was willing to talk about her life, struggles and joys. Unlike many of the people we

HOMEBODIES Rita Friesen

met, she was fluent in the German language as well as Dutch and English. Unlike many of the people we met, she is willing to travel and take her holidays in Germany. The hurt runs deep.

Dutch, not of the Jewish faith, she felt the effects of the Holocaust and the war years a bit differently.

She recalled the last year of the war, the hunger year, when countless citizens of Holland starved to death while the limited food resources were sent to Germany. Wanting to be whole, wanting to be productive, she was willing to seek counselling from trained professionals. It was heart breaking

n Friday, July 1, we celebrate Canada’s independence from Britain, which happened nearly 150 years ago. It is a great day to celebrate and be proud to be a Canadian. We can be thankful for the freedom we enjoy. We can go to church every Sunday and not be afraid to get kidnapped or killed. When we see the fields in the valley with the ripening grains, we

to hear that for all of her adult life, about every four years, she engages the help of counsellors. She maintained that about the time she was confident she had dealt with all the residual fear, distrust and anxiety, about the time she thought the scars had healed, she faced another revelation that needed to be heard.

By facing one demon after another, she had the courage to witness the horror of every concentration camp in Germany. Strong woman, striving forth to wholeness.

There was no self pity in her discourse. Matter of fact recounting of how life was for her and how

she saw it. Openly meeting our gaze and answering our hesitant questions.

As it neared time for her to meet her train, she rose from where she sat, paused and then stated as a matter of fact – ‘We must have compassion for the people of Syria. Those children are seeing what I saw’. Seventy-one years ago she saw the magnitude of war in her home country.

Images and sounds and smells that linger still. And as she strode through the doors, going forward with her days work, I noticed she wore golden hued sneakers. Somehow, for me, that image captures her. Her attitude, determination and courage. A flash of gold.

As we celebrate Canada Day, may we see children at play, hear sounds of laughter, rejoice in the blaze of fireworks. Celebrate our country and our place of privilege.

can appreciate that we do not go to bed hungry. Our children are able to go to school and become productive citizens. We have invited refugees to come and share this beautiful country with us.

Our community has a special celebration in the park.

The band will play and there are special attractions for the children. The celebrations will end with fireworks.

We can sing with David, as he tells us in Psalms 95 “O come let us sing for joy to the Lord... Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving.”

Let us be thankful that we live in Canada!

Letters CUPW fighting for the future Postal workers in Neepawa and across the country want to continue to deliver and meet customers’ needs by providing quality, personalized service now and in the future.

Several opportunities exist to diversify an already profitable Crown Corporation, one that has already been celebrating almost two decades of million dollar quarterly profits on the backs of its workers.

Canada Post has an incredible infrastructure already in place, envied by competitors, serving the most rural, isolated communities to the largest of city centres, coast to coast to coast.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) have been discussing further revenue generating services with the corporation, government representatives and service organizations. Proposed expansions include, but are not limited to: checking in on seniors, Internet stations, better rural and indigenous services, bringing back food mail to the north, electric charging stations and postal banking.

The CUPW is disappointed that Canada Post began steps to end the negotiation period rather than continue to stay at the table and work out a fair agreement with its workers.

We are fighting for strong employment opportunities for generations to come. We are fighting for continuing personalized service for our neighbours and our local businesses. We are fighting for Canada Post to become the hub of our nation's next economy.

Indeed, who is the most short sighted?

Giselle Lisoway, President Portage la Prairie and Neepawa Locals Canadian Union of Postal Workers Editor’s note: Couldn’t agree more. When employees come up with good ideas, the corporation should embrace them.

Changes coming to blood donor clinics

By Kira Paterson The Neepawa Banner Neepawa is going to be the first community in the Westman area to experience the modernized blood donor clinic from Canadian Blood Services.

As of July 1, the mobile clinics will be making some changes to make donor experiences more efficient and convenient.

The clinic will be coming to the Yellowhead Centre in Neepawa on July 5.

The first change is touch-

screen kiosks at the clinics, where donors can input their information and complete the donor questionnaire. This eliminates the need for paper filing, as all the information will be stored electronically.

To make things even faster, there is also the option to complete the donor questionnaire online before going to the clinic.

Once a donor books an appointment online, they can fill out their questionnaire and print it out with a pass that will allow them

to go straight to screening at the clinic.

The other convenience now offered for donors is an email reminder. When a donor books an appointment in their name and includes their email address, they will receive a reminder on the day of their appointment to complete the donor questionnaire online, print it and bring it to the clinic.

The changeover can go much smoother with the help of the community.

“Donors in Neepawa can

help with the changeover by booking appointments to fill the blood donor clinic on July 5,” said Darrin Desmedt, territory manager of donor relations for Canadian Blood Services.

“We would like to have as many units as possible in inventory as donors acclimate to the new system.

The clinic is 96 per cent booked, so we are asking donors to honour their appointments to ensure we meet our donation goal of 58 units of blood.”

A walk down memory lane

Gladstone’s fourth Annual Walk for Alzheimer’s was held on Thursday, June 23 along with a fundraising barbecue. The Seniors’ Drop-In was the starting point for the walk and the place to donate toward this worthwhile cause by attending the barbecue or making a pledge. The total raised this year was $3265.00.

Clay and Kara Ferguson volunteered to do the grilling and keep the hungry crowd fed.

Wendy Schettler, CEO for the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, was in town to help volunteer for the event. Walking with her were Keiana Fehr and Loreley Dickson-Fehr, who is an Alzheimer Society of Manitoba board member.

The Seniors’ Drop-In saw a steady flow of people, there to help out a good cause and enjoy a meal with friends and neighbours. Residents of all ages dropped by for a bite to eat and to make a donation to this year’s event.

It was a perfect evening for the Annual Walk for Alzheimer’s, as Maureen Schwartz and Donna Younger, followed by Pat and Dave Asmundson, followed the signs leading them through Gladstone’s lovely William’s Park. Along this year’s walk were question and answer signs relating to Alzheimer’s awareness.

Enns boxes in Brandon

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner Logan Enns of Boxe Neepawa returned to the ring this past weekend, losing a close decision to Owen Flett of Brandon. The bout, which was part of the Peak Performance and Athletics boxing event, was held at the CanadInns Roadhouse. The night featured the junior exhibition card and the senior card, which involved professional boxers from across western Canada.

For Enns, this was his second amateur boxing match, having earned a victory back in February. The level of competition in this second contest was a step up for the 15-year-old, but he was not only able to stay in contention with the more experienced opponent, but land several effective shots. Enns’ trainer and Boxe Neepawa owner/ operator Derek Pearson said Logan performed very well and stayed focused throughout the fight.

“He stuck to the gameplay we had mapped out for him and landed several heavy shots early,” said Pearson. “For a lot of boxers, those punches, which Logan was able to land, would have weakened them. But our opponent [Owen Flett] has a very good chin and is known for being an aggressive fighter. [Enns] didn’t panic. He stayed focused and picked his spots and was smart defensively.

The decision wasn’t what we’d hoped for, but at the same time, every fight is an opportunity. Logan faced a difficult challenge and was able to come through it very well. The important thing from all this is that he’s also learned from the fight. We both did, and that will help in the future.”

As for Enns, he said the fight was a valuable learning experience that’ll help him improve as a fighter.

“It was a good fight against a real tough opponent. I did what I wanted out there and stayed within the game

That’s something I can build off of for future fights,” said Enns. “Overall, [Owen Flett] was a strong puncher, who kept rushing forward. I was able to use my footwork and agility to stay out of trouble, but his aggressiveness

was enough to earn the decision. I’ll just have to take the experience, build off of it and keep improving.”

Enns added that he’s looking forward to continuing his training and stepping into the ring once again for the next challenge.

Natives’ brass ready for prospects camp

By Eoin Devereux The Neepawa Banner Scouts, coaches and management with the Neepawa Natives are looking forward to seeing the future of the franchise hit the ice in Brandon next week, as the MJHL club will hold its annual young prospects summer camp. Around 60 players, including the team’s top selections from the 2016 MJHL draft will participate in the event, which runs on Monday, July 4 and Tuesday, July 5 at the Sportsplex.

Neepawa Natives general manager Myles Cathcart said this will be an opportunity for the team’s top brass to evaluate players and decide which ones warrant a closer look at the training camp, scheduled for the fall.

“It’s an opportunity to get everyone together and see who has been working in the spring. Those players who have been doing what’s required to improve their strength and conditioning,” said Cathcart.

“These two days will also give myself, the coaching staff and the scouts a better read on what these players could bring to the team.

They’re competing for an opportunity, so it’s very important that they show off their skill set.”

For head coach Dustin Howden, this will be his first summer prospects camp since taking over the job as bench boss. He noted however, that from an evaluation perspective, not much will change from previous years.

“For me, I’m still looking out for those players who come into the camp motivated,” said Howden.

“Conditioning is another big plus. If a player comes to the camp and is in shape, they’ll be able to single themselves out from the pack. Those players will still be the ones giving that maximum effort every time they hit the ice at the end of a scrimmage, as they were at the beginning.”

The Bovine Tuberculosis Management program “pivots” Bovine Tuberculosis Management Plan update

By Dr. Allan Preston Bovine Tuberculosis Coordinator As the American election process continues to evolve, we hear the comment that the two major candidates are “pivoting” from the internal party nomination process to the election battle now ahead for the Democrats and Republicans. Well, here, north of the 49th parallel, the management of bovine tuberculosis is also “pivoting” from disease detection and eradication to a disease prevention and risk mitigation focus.

Read on – see what was accomplished in 20152016, see what’s in store for 2016–2017.

First – a reminder about the Bovine TB management plan goals The program goals continue to focus on the Management Plan’s long term vision of: • maintaining TB Free status in domestic livestock • reducing the prevalence of TB in wildlife to undetectable levels • reducing surveillance

programs in both wild and domestic herds to maintenance levels • minimizing wildlifelivestock interactions in the Riding Mountain region, and • maintaining sustainable elk and deer populations in the ecosystem.

2015–2016 results While recognizing that we are still awaiting the outcome from a few remaining small herd tests and some final lab results, the news for this past surveillance season is all good. The 43 Core Area livestock herds, approximately 4,300 head, were all tested this year, with negative results across the board – Goal #1 has been achieved.

The balance of the Core Area wild mature cow elk herd (73 cows) was tested and found to be negative as well. Finally, all of the 74 elk and 162 white tailed deer, hunter killed samples submitted also tested negative for TB. Goal #2 is getting much closer to completion. Goal #3 will be achieved in the 2016–2017 plan; Goal #4

is a key component for the current and future years, driven largely by on farm risk assessments and biosecurity programs.

Goal #5 is a longer term work in progress as the elk and Whitetail Deer herds slowly rebuild, driven in part by habitat improvement within the park itself.

The 2015–2016 plan will come in approximately $250,000 under budget, with the actual expenditures being $1.9 million. We successfully achieved 18 of the 26 key performance indicators in the plan. Those key performance indicators not fully achieved have been recognized and moved forward into the 2016–17 plan for completion.

2016-2017 management plan The management plan for 2016–2017 has been approved and implementation is well under way. Two key activities, the testing of live elk within the Core Area and the herd testing of domestic livestock, are “on hold” for this year, with no testing planned.

This change has resulted in a much reduced budget – down to $1 million from last year’s $2 million, and

Major road projects planned Submitted The Neepawa Banner Manitoba Budget 2016, which was delivered in the Legislature on Tuesday, May 31, has earmarked over $1.8 billion for roads, bridges, municipal infrastructure, hospitals and schools.

Riding Mountain MLA Greg Nesbitt said major road reconstruction is set to continue on Highways 10 and 16 as part of the Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation’s multi-year highway infra-

structure capital program.

A total of 25.6 kilometers on Highway 10 from just north of Highway 24 to Minnedosa will be widened and paved at a total cost of over $8 million. A dangerous curve will also be realigned. The work may continue into the next construction year.

Acquisition of right-ofway for 43.5 kilometers along Highway 10 from just north of the north

junction with Highway 16 to Riding Mountain National Park will begin this year to allow for future road reconstruction.

Major work, including grade realignment, widening, base and intersection improvements, along with 22.9 kilometres of paving from Binscarth to just east of Foxwarren is underway. Total cost of the project is over $10 million.

it sees the roles for Parks Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) dramatically reduced for this year.

The 2016–2017 plan marks a clear transition from the past activities of disease detection and eradication, to current and future activities focused on the disease prevention and risk mitigation actions necessary to maintaining freedom from bovine tuberculosis in the Riding Mountain ecosystem. We have successfully reached disease freedom in domestic livestock and we are approaching, over the next four or five years, a similar level of confidence that the disease no longer exists in the wild cervid herd. This transition reduces the role for Parks Canada and the CFIA while putting more onus on Manitoba Agriculture, Manitoba Sustainable Development and the Manitoba Beef Producers, to advance those prevention and risk mitigation efforts.

Until we reach disease freedom in the wild elk and Whitetail Deer population, domestic slaughter surveillance and hunter killed sample analysis will supplant live animal testing, provided adequate epidemiological data is collected through these methods. Livestock producers can enhance the necessary progress in slaughter surveillance by ensuring that their Premise Identification and Canadian Cattle Identification Agency accounts are linked and ensuring that

they are fully compliant with Canada’s traceability regulations. Hunters can enhance the wildlife surveillance numbers by ensuring that every elk and Whitetail Deer harvested in the Riding Mountain Eradication Area is submitted for analysis.

And livestock producers can certainly assist in risk mitigation through participation in the On Farm Risk Assessment program, implementing and maintaining the necessary biosecurity programs on their farms that will reduce any potential re-introduction of the disease into their herds.

Beyond 2017…

CFIA has signalled that it does not plan to return to on-farm herd testing in the 2017–2018 surveillance season and Parks Canada has indicated that its provisional plan to retest the Core Area mature cow elk herd in 2019–2020 is unlikely to occur. However, both of these planned activity eliminations are contingent upon several caveats: • No additional wildlife cases detected • No additional livestock

cases detected • Continued and complete incorporation of slaughter surveillance into the disease model • Continued hunter killed surveillance at the required levels • On farm risk assessments and continued implementation of appropriate biosecurity measures Closing note The many years of effort by all have brought us much closer to achieving our collective goals. Always remember that the fifth goal of the plan – maintaining a sustainable elk and Whitetail Deer population in the ecosystem – must be addressed as well.

The habitat enrichment programs underway by Parks Canada, along with an ever-changing agricultural landscape bordering the Park, bode well for a steady, albeit slow, resurgence in those wild cervid populations.

As the described transition takes place, all parties to the plan are encouraged to sustain their effort to allow us to, with certainty, reach those goals.

Until the next time...
