Garbage Dumping in Pike Lake Area

S

ince August, Pike Lake community members have noticed an increased amount of garbage collecting in the ditches around our area. On a recent trip to RM of Vanscoy dump I stopped to pick up 1 chair, 2 tires and 2 pallets. I was also made aware of residents picking up a toilet and various other large pieces of refuse.

Please be considerate of others and report any vehicles you see dumping garbage in our community or ones with blowing trash out of their vehicle.

Suggestions to curb this issue: 1. Take a picture of the vehicle’s plate and driver dumping any garbage, 2. Contact the police and/or the RM of Vanscoy Office and report what you witnessed.

There are many options available for the proper removal of debris. If you have questions, please ask. Let’s keep our community’s environment as clean as possible.

Prediction is very Difficult, Especially when it is about the Future !

oomsday predictors have been coming out with recent vigor.

Some predicting that the invisible planet Nibiru will be colliding with the earth on September 23rd (nope, not this year at least), others suggesting the imaginary planet will only pass nearby the earth later this year, causing earthquakes and flooding. With all the recent destruction in Mexico, Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and other islands, I don’t think a magical cosmic fly-by can make things much worse there.

But he was willing to use that stage, and Twitter, to poke the bear in North Korea with talk of total destruction, elimination, fire and fury, etc. Whatever he can fit into 140 characters. Sad (and now Twitter is going to double the limit to 280 characters, Yikes !)

I don’t put much credence in these flaky sooth-sayers, but I did make a bit of a prediction myself last January...

I predicted Donald J. Trump would not last one year as President before he was either removed or just packed his bags and left, likely after pardoning himself.

He seems to be taking the world down his own path of destruction with earlier acts of ‘bold leadership’, like pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord, threatening the end of the Iran Nuclear deal, renegotiating NAFTA (slapping a 220% duty on Bombardier jets from Canada just the other day, insuring Boeing the US contracts), the numerous Muslim travel bans, or ripping the United Nations a new one, even criticizing the marble tiles that form the backdrop for the stage that leaders give their speeches from, suggesting that he would replace them with ‘big beautiful tiles’ if they asked him. They won’t. (Believe me !)

But most recently he has decided to go after the professional athletes in the United States for using the singing of the national anthem at a game, as a platform for voicing their concerns about injustice for people of color in their country. For some time there has been a few players from various teams ‘taking a knee’ to draw attention to their plight, but once the Donald worked his magic thumbs on his Iphone, entire sports leagues, not just players, but managers and owners have now joined the ranks. Plus, the Donald has recently ‘uninvited’ the NBA champs from a visit to the Whitehouse. This surely will push him closer to the end !

Living in ‘the Trump times’ (as Historians will come to say), may improve the odds for a doomsday predictor, but hopefully it will not come down to that.

I am however, sticking to my one year tenure prediction about Trump.

With now 280 characters for him to say how he really feels, he can only speed up his own demise.

Seniors are Victims of Government Cuts

t this time we wish to comment on how the governing Sask party has treated the seniors of this province since they have been in power. Our seniors in this province worked hard to ensure Saskatchewan was a good place to live.

The first thing that happened is they increased the cost of prescriptions for seniors by $10.00 per prescription. There are numerous seniors in this province that have to make a choice whether they can pay for food or the prescriptions their doctor ordered for their health.

They are now stating that they are going to sell off the affordable housing used by seniors on low income, especially in rural areas. This places undue stress on many as to where they could relocate to something they can afford.

In May of 2017, seniors in Long Term Care received a letter on Government letterhead that the rate for them was increasing by $600.00 a month. This increase has nothing to do with level of care and the money collected goes to Government not to the facility.

They have taken away the low income housing allowance that was available to those who qualified for it.

Seniors that live in rural Saskatchewan and small towns have lost their ability to travel to other Centers for medical reasons with the closing of the Sask Transportation Bus routes. This is causing them to move from the communities which they have called home, causing them to lose support in their daily lives of family and friends.

They have added the PST to any benefit life insurance plans that seniors on fixed incomes may have, which causes a financial burden to many.

It is time that seniors unite and speak up to injustice of the Government trying to lower the deficit they created on the backs of the seniors. Stand up and be counted and talk to your MLA and get them to wake up and treat with respect those who were the ones who worked so hard to make Saskatchewan the great province it is, and to stop the privatization of what we own as citizens.

Dinner Theatre Performances Benefit Local Organizations

T

he annual fall Community Players dinner theatre event not only provides an exceptional opportunity for theatre go-ers to enjoy an evening of dining and live theatre, it also provides support for local organizations through the donation of the proceeds from the event.

Recently the Vanscoy Playground Project, Delisle Library and Delisle Ball Diamonds each received $500 from the Community Players.

The theatre troupe’s success comes from tremendous community support and generous donations

from Delisle Agencies and the Delisle Ag Co-op.

If you have never attended this annual dinner theatre event you are missing out on one of the best events in the community. The many hours of practice put in by our local thespians, results in exceptionally entertaining performances.

The sets, lighting and sound are always well done too, making for a very professional show.

Socializing during the cocktail hour and dinner is a great way to catch up with friends before the performance.

This year the Community Players are presenting "Let's Murder Marsha" by Monk Ferris.

There are two dinner performances on November 3rd and 4th at the Delisle Town Hall with doors opening at 5:30pm.

Ticket prices are $30 and include dinner at 6:30.

A matinee Dessert Theatre performance is held on November 5th at 1:30pm for only $18.

Tickets are available at the Vanscoy Hotel, the Delisle Town Office or call David Pattison at 306.493.2656.

Food for Thought

T

Solving the Insolvable

he political chaos just won’t settle down. The ISIS issue seems to be beyond reason while country after country stumbles into dictatorship. The ethnic cleansing in the old Burma is another blot on the horizon.

In a more logical process the members (without the US) are seriously attacking the issue of climate change. Canada, the good scout, is providing leadership among the western nations. Even China, which so often is an outsider, is pitching in to reduce green-house gas emissions. Trump as usual is off-side in the matter of slowing climate change.

Millions of immigrants are trying to escape the political turmoil in their home countries. Killings by the local armies and police forces make finding solutions near impossible.

There have been some concerns raised about individuals speeding down Lunn Street. Please keep in mind that the speed limit through most of Town is 40 kilometers, or 30 kilometers in the school zone. New speed limit signs will be installed on Lunn Street. Please adhere to the speed limits.

Sask Health has decided not to hold a Flu Clinic in Asquith this year. Although phone calls were made to protest this, their decision remained final. If there are any individuals who are unable to make it to Saskatoon to attend a flu clinic or to see their doctor or pharmacist for a flu shot, please contact this office at 306-329-4341. If you are not happy with this decision to cut the Asquith Flu Clinic, please contact your MLA to voice your opinions.

Asquith Town Council asks individuals to not park vehicles of any kind in the back alleys. This impedes the ability of emergency services to access back alleys in the case of a fire.

RM of Vanscoy Crime Watch

group of interested Vanscoy citizens gathered in June 2017 to learn about the RCMP’s Rural Crime Watch program. The meeting included local police, Vanscoy Community, and the Regina RCMP, Vanscoy Reeve, and a few of the Vanscoy Council Members. We learned that by making small efforts we could assist in keeping our neighbourhoods safer.

A public informational meeting was held in the Vanscoy Circle Hall in July. It was clear that the support was strong and that our community had been touched by crime.

A Rural Crime Watch Volunteer Committee began meeting. The committee are collaborating with the RM of Vanscoy Administration, the RM Council and the original Rural Crime Watch committee first organized in approximately 1999.

We have learned that the key element to how we, as a community, can support the reduction

of crime is to connect! Connect with our neighbours, be aware! We also learned from the RCMP that we can all, at a minimal cost and effort, connect and put up a Rural Crime Watch sign to tell visitors to the area that you are connected and that you watch out for one another.

The RCW committee are working with the RM to create a simple process for people to get involved and receive signage for their property.

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL

W

elcome to the 2017-18 preschool year! This year, we have eight 3-year olds and eight 4year olds. They are separated into two separate classes. The 3-year olds come on Friday mornings from 9:15-11:30 and the 4-year olds come on Tuesday mornings from 9:15-11:30 and Friday afternoons from 12:30-2:45.

We have a lot of fun at preschool - the kids learn routine, songs, important issues, how to share and take turns, how to print their names and what letters are in their names, and much more! We also go on field trips once or twice a year.

Everyday we start off with a book exchange, then the students play for a bit. We then head to our "learning corner" where we learn our names, count the days on the calendar, talk about the weather, and have show and tell. After that, it's time for some singing! We always sing the alphabet as well as some theme songs (fall, Halloween, Christmas, etc.) or other popular songs like Head and Shoulders.

Then it's time for the theme of the day. This might be the season, a number or colour, safety, health, plants, or any other number of topics the students might be interested in. There is always a craft to go along with the theme, and then it's snack time (the students' favourite part of the day!) After snack, there is playtime again, but I also work one on one with the students. We then either head outside to the playground or play some games inside, either upstairs or downstairs where there is lots of room to run. We end the day with a story and stickers.

Due to the number of students, there is always a helper parent who stays and helps get the craft ready, helps at snack time, cleans up after snack, plays with the children, or does whatever is needed to help keep the classroom running smoothly. There is a signup sheet so every family can help out the same number of days. The helper parent doesn't have to just be the parent. In the past, there have been grandparents, aunts (no uncles yet), babysitters, or family friends.

We do a fundraiser each year to keep our name out in the community. We sell baking at the Community Christmas Craft Sale, usually held in November. We try to also sell gifts made by the preschoolers or sell tickets to a raffle basket or something similar.

At our meeting in August, parents sign up for the different committees including fundraising, Christmas, and graduation.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in sending a child to preschool, please contact Wendy Schoonbaert by calling 306-978-8164,texting 306-222-2748, or emailing wschoonbaert@yourlink.ca. The child must be 3 or 4 by December 31st and be toilet-trained.

The cost is $65/ month for once a week and $85/month for twice a week, plus a $20 PLCSA membership.

Consider preschool as a way to introduce your child to new friends and to a school environment!

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL

ur new academic year is about to begin with some wonderful and exciting activities in store through-out the year! With last year now in the background, we successfully and actively familiarized our school and community families with our place based learning model. From the feedback we have received, all the team partners were very happy with the outcomes of our introductory first year. This year we are even going to be better with all we learned from and with our students and staff !

We warmly welcome Corinne Dutka as our Principal for this upcoming year. Corinne is on board as our new team leader and is enthused to carry on and expand this model of education in our school. Over summer, Corinne has been actively pursuing the best ways to connect curriculum and kids through nature. We also look forward to hosting a new intern, Chelsea Braybrook who will begin on the first day of school and will be staying with us until the end of December. Chelsea will be learning with us, as well as teaching students in and out of doors. These ladies have some wonderful ideas to share so be sure to watch what our school will be learning in the next 10 months.

We hope you join us as we journey with our learning this year. If you have a hobby or leisure activity that you are interested in sharing with us, we invite you to give us a call and we can make arrangements to have you share your knowledge with our students. You don’t have to be a professional – just someone who is passionate about what they do in any capacity. It can be birdwatching, wild flower enthusiast, mushroom scavenger, environmentalist, sport guru, rock or bug collector, calligrapher, paper quiller, miniature artist, gemologist and the list goes on. Anything a student can learn about will be welcomed and we would love to have you connect with us!

Just call us at 306-668-4808 for more information.

Our School Community Council (SCC) set the date for the annual Welcome Back to School BBQ. In cooperation with the Pike Lake Community and School Association (PLCSA) there was a FREE burger/ hotdog supper for ALL school families and community members which was held on Thursday, September 14th, 2017 beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the school. The community came out to meet the staff, tour the school and get the low down on what we eagerly do in a school day!

Households were also able to purchase their membership to the PLCSA and register their your young ones for the various ac vi es that PLCSA has acquired this year!

Watch for us out and about in our community as we inquire, discover, build, study and absorb all there is in our own rich backyard environment!

MP REPORT

Kelly Block, MP September 22, 2017

Liberals Taxing the Farmer, Not the Millionaire

wo weeks ago I wrote to you on the Liberal’s latest tax grab on small businesses. I told you about how Justin Trudeau believes that small businesses are tax shelters. I told you how Finance Minister Morneau set a time limit on the review, giving little time for farmers in the middle of harvest to have their say.

Since then, their plan has been criticized by tax experts, the former Chrétien Government’s Finance Minister, and even several of their own members.

Despite this, the Liberals have doubled down.

In Question Period on Wednesday, I asked the Minister why it is that Darrel and Kathy, who farm near Borden, will pay 73% combined tax, while multi-million dollar companies like the Minister’s family business, Morneau Shepell would be exempt from this increase.

T

October 2017

His condescending response was far from satisfactory.

Minister Morneau began his answer with: “Mr. Speaker, a tax system that favours the wealthy over the middle class is not one that we see as fair...”

Yet that is exactly the kind of tax system they are proposing.

Amazingly, Minister Morneau believes that it is “fair” that the mom and pop stores I spoke about two weeks ago will pay a third higher taxes than the Minister’s own multi-million dollar family business.

This tax grab would punish the small business owners who risked everything to follow their dreams. They create jobs and boost the local economy, and they do so without the benefit of sick days, maternity, and EI.

The Liberals are going to increase the tax burden on these job creators while protecting the millionaires who can afford to pay $1500 to lobby Trudeau to keep their tax rate untouched.

That isn’t fair.

October 13

These are just a handful of examples of the kind of reckless Liberal pet projects on which Justin Trudeau is wasting our tax dollars.

Only $2 / PeRsOn

The Liberals have run out of money because of their profligate spending, and now, sadly, they are going to make the middle class pay.

Exciting Additions to the Delisle Playschool

he Delisle Playschool is excited to present our new outdoor area to the children for the 2017/2018 school year!

The playschool was able to purchase a shed from the Delisle Composite school with the generous donations received from the Delisle CO-OP and Crop Production Services Delisle who each donated $500 for this project. The shed will be used to store outdoor toys and features a new portable music wall which our teacher, Ms Janelle Stevens, has put together.

Along with the shed, we were able to build a two sided fence, as a means of an outdoor play area for the children. The playschool would like to

thank the Town of Delisle for approval and letting us build our outdoor space and a thank you to Flatlander Construction for donating all of the lumber for our fence.

Scott Zoerb from Flatlander Construction and Drew King, from Noble Contracting, graciously offered their time and skills in building the fence. Thank you to CanAm for moving the shed for us. We really appreciate everyone’s hard work and are so excited to see the children play and learn there!

Also new this year, the Delisle playschool is offering an exciting new adventure for 4 year olds to join in on a third day of class, as compared to the general twice a week of-

fering. This third day will run a little bit different then the regular classes.

Ms. Janelle plans to use this time to do more active/team building activities. This means spending less time in the class room and more time outside and using the hall space downstairs.

If you would like more information regarding the Delisle playschool please feel free to contact us at delisleplayschool@live.ca .

Our current board members consist of Ann Kielo and Kaila King as copresidents, Molly Wadin, Zabrina Zoarb, Kim Doig, Sara Vandenameele and Anita Roston.

Stretching Hay Supplies with Straw

winter feeding ration as straw does have its limitations when used in beef cattle diets.

Straw does not contain adequate levels of energy, protein, minerals or vitamins to be a sole source of winter feed.

Cows cannot eat and digest enough straw to meet their nutritional requirements. Since straw is digested at a slower rate than hay, cows consume less straw than hay on a daily basis. Grinding or processing straw will increase intakes, but without proper and balanced supplementation of energy and protein, problems such as malnutrition, impaction, reduced milk output and lowered conception rates can result.

In most instances, straw has a lower energy content than grass hay and is very low in digestible protein. Adequate protein levels in a straw diet are necessary to avoid impaction. Rumen microbes require a certain level of crude protein just to maintain their important function of fiber digestion. Diets low in protein lead to lower dry

matter intakes and lower fiber digestibility.

Due to straw's higher fiber content, it takes longer for a cow to digest straw than it does to digest hay or grain.

This results in limited intakes. For example: a 1,200 lb. cow may be capable of eating 25 or 30 lbs of straw in a 24 hour period. The microbes in a cow's rumen are only capable of digesting 15 to 18 lbs of straw in that same time period. Impaction can and does occur.

Feeding limited amounts of hay, even poor to medium quality hay, will improve any straw ration. The cheapest source of protein will likely be from alfalfa or alfalfa-grass hay. It is advisable to feed cows hay instead of straw starting at least six weeks prior to calving and throughout the lactation period (until the cows are turned out to spring pasture).

A mature cow can safely consume about 8 to 9 lbs of concentrate such as grain or pelleted screenings at one feeding. If the level of

concentrate being fed each day exceeds that amount, consider dividing the concentrate and feed equal portions twice per day.

Ionophores may be added or mixed with the concentrate to reduce the incidence of bloat.

Ensure that adequate and balanced levels of minerals (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and sulfur), trace minerals (copper, zinc, manganese, iodine, cobalt, selenium) and vitamins A, D and E are incorporated into the ration. These requirements change throughout the various stages of pregnancy and lactation.

Developing a balanced ration is the key to success when feeding straw. It is important to understand straws limitations in a daily ration. A little planning can go a long way in making straw stretch out other higher quality feed sources. For more information or for assistance with winter feeding plans contact the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866457-2377 or your Livestock Specialist.

CONSUMER’S CORNER

LEGAL PROTECTiON AND ADViCE FOR SGi CANADA POLiCYHOLDERS

L

egal Expense is a unique insurance coverage that helps an individual defend or pursue legal action if they have a dispute with another party. With Legal Expense coverage from SGI CANADA, you have access to legal advice plus security of knowing expenses related to pursuing legal action will be covered.

Legal costs include lawyers’ fees, charges for disbursements and your opponent’s legal costs should you lose and be required to pay them. In addition, any legal expense claims or general inquiry calls will not affect your policy claims-free status.

Legal Expense insurance was added as an included coverage on most SGI CANADA property insurance policies in November 2014 (subject to limits as indicated within your particular policy). This coverage empowers you when you are faced with unexpected legal issues by paying your legal costs to pursue or defend your rights for issues surrounding contract disputes, property protection, employment disputes and tax protection. Included is unlimited access to a free telephone helpline (1-855-953-1430) to speak with a lawyer regarding general legal advice whether or not it is included in your coverage.

Some common covered examples include: 1) Your neighbour cuts down a tree on your property without your permission 2) You disagree with the tax assessment you receive from Canada Revenue Agency 3) Your contractor stops working in the middle of your basement renovation and asks for more money 4) Your employer lays you off because of a hearing disability Conditions of coverage exclude any willful acts (that you do on purpose), late reported claims (must be reported within 120 days of occurrence) and disagreements between tenants and landlords. Any fraudulent claim, defamation, disciplinary hearings or worker compensation board disputes are also excluded.

Certain types of legal disputes that are not covered include criminal and family law, contract review, wills and power of attorney and any pre-incurred costs. In addition any actions taken against SGI or SGI CANADA are not covered.

Note with Agro Pak coverage, legal protection and advice is provided for your home and personal property only (excluding farm property and farming exposures).

The average rate for an experienced lawyer in Canada is $379 per hour. Potential court costs for a two-day civil trial are over $37,000.

In the last five years, 55% of Canadians who accessed the legal system were not represented by a lawyer and 63% did not meet with a lawyer because they thought it would be too costly. Many Canadians are too wealthy to qualify for legal aid but not wealthy enough to afford a lawyer. Legal Expense insurance is your access to justice.

Mooney Agencies is a locally owned independent insurance broker, working for you rather than an insurance company or financial institution. We will properly assess your general insurance needs, shop for the best value in coverage and help you in the event of a claim. Mooney Agencies provides specialized advice for your farm or acreage, along with providing home, auto and commercial insurance solutions anywhere in Saskatchewan. We are available to meet at your home, acreage, farm or business by appointment. Please introduce yourself to your Mooney Agencies insurance team – Stephanie & Landry Klapwijk, Della O’Hara and Courtney Klapwijk.

PLCSA Chairperson Report

ummer of 2017 has passed rather quickly meaning the students are back in school and fall activities like harvest in full swing. It continues to be extremely dry conditions and hopefully everyone is very astute in adhering to the fire bans.

It also is the start of some hunting seasons so hunters have to be cautioned not to drive in long dry grass areas as exhausts on ATVs and catalytic converters of cars/trucks are extremely hot and have been known to ignite tall dry grass, etc.

PLCSA is again hosting two ‘Tailgate’ Garage Sales/Swaps and Market Gardens this past August and these experienced some success.

MJ Convenience Store also hosted a Community Garage Sale on Sept.4th that proved to be very successful.

The PLCSA is happy to have again acquired some fall and winter activities. For the young 2 – 5 year olds Jessie Wheler will be instructing Tots/Kinder indoor soccer, beginning September 12th. For the older youth, Bryana Calynuik will be instructing Dance and Cheer beginning September 18th.

Pike Lake School’s Welcome Back School Barbeque and PLCSA membership/activity signup, was held on Sept. 14th, starting at 5:30 pm. The event was well supported and a number of people/businesses purchased their 2017/2018 PLCSA Memberships.

PLCSA had planned to host another Community Potluck, on September 22nd, but due to some changing

circumstances regrettably this has had to be postponed to later date which be announced once it is determined.

The PLCSA Board is holding a General Meeting on October 12, 2017 in the upper hall, starting at 7:00 p.m. This is a very important meeting and the board needs a good turnout of community members.

An increase in hall demands, along with anticipated significant change in the Board come January, 2018, does require input/ideas to keep both the hall and the board viable.

PLCSA’s final Texas Hold’em is scheduled for November 4, 2017 starting at 7:00 p.m.

PLCSA continues to pursue an advertising incentive for our area. We are asking businesses/groups to consider advertising around our soccer field via banners.

Hopefully the banners already up are getting your attention, and you spread the word to others that may have an interest.

Finally, the PLCSA 2017 - 2018 Memberships are now available. Memberships support our Hall.

Don’t forget to renew yours as soon as possible.

S

Battle against buckthorn no short-term skirmish

askatoon is beautifully perched on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River. Walking the Meewasin trail as it winds through forest patches along the river is a real treat in the fall. Is there any better place to be? Saskatoon really does shine.

Changes to the riparian forest are unfortunately underway. While these changes are too slow for most valley visitors to notice, they are real and signal a foreseeable end to many forest patches. As with all biological invasions, one species tends to out muscle the others. In this case, a particularly invasive shrub, European buckthorn, is the culprit. Dr. Vern Harms initially brought the problem to the attention of Meewasin in 1996 when he commented on the findings of Maurice Lineman, a grad student who was measuring the naturalness of the river valley at various locations. “The rapid invasion of our woodlands by European buckthorn may represent a more serious and imminent threat to Saskatoon’s natural areas than do such media-publicized possible threats as purple loosestrife or Dutch elm disease�.

Regular meeting to follow at 7:30 pm Volunteers do not necessarily have the time: they have the

heart!

The Vanscoy Rec Board AGM will be held Wednesday October 18 @ the Vanscoy Circle Hall. The meeting will start at 7:00pm. The Board will hold elections for President and Secretary. Please plan to attend.

Thank You to the Vanscoy Chiefs who will be managing the Vanscoy Arena for the upcoming 2017 – 2018 season!

Brought in from overseas innocently enough and tested as a potential shelterbelt species in the 1930’s at the Dominion Tree Nursery - now evolved into the Forestry Farm - it was never officially released due to its role as alternate host for oat crown rust, a virulent disease that affects oat seed yield. The local birds, especially waxwings, made buckthorn’s escape and spread into the adjacent river valley a reality.

second passes, the number of fruits collapsed 120-fold.

Removal of seed producing stems targets the weak point in the reproduction cycle, as this shrub does not reproduce from vegetative parts.

European buckthorn is listed on Saskatchewan’s noxious weed list. Landowners who live on the fringe of the affected area can greatly assist in controlling its spread. The low numbers there make it practical to dig out or to use a technique called shallow girdling. In this case, the outer layer of bark is removed but the inner layer is left intact resulting in the slow starvation of the plant. But, cut too deep and the plant will vigorously re-sprout from the crown.

These shrubs can be easily spotted in early October as they remain green well into the month, while most other trees and shrubs have turned colour or lost their leaves. A common question is, “Why is buckthorn grown by some groups while Meewasin is removing it?� In fact, the plant being grown is sea buckthorn, a valuable nutraceutical.

Sea buckthorn has grey leaves and orange berries whereas European buckthorn has green leaves and black berries. Resemblance is in name only.

Today, some 80 years later, its distribution closely follows the riparian zone of the river valley from up to 56 km north of the city to 21 km south. A main concern is its impact on biodiversity as it is able to displace trees, shrubs and even groundcover wildflowers and grasses. With this we loose fall colour, wildlife habitat and berry picking opportunities.

Efforts to control European buckthorn are showing some promise but the results are painfully slow.

Beginning in 1997, a program to remove seed producing stems was implemented by Meewasin. While seed producing stem numbers did not drop much between the first and
