Sask. calls for action – grain woes addressed
SNOWPASS! – March break is just around the corner and if you’re looking for something to do with the family why not make the most of this vacation, and spend it skiing? The Canadian Ski Council has announced it is again making available the free Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass to show children how much fun skiing and snowboarding can be. “Introducing children to skiing and snowboarding at an early age gives them lifetime access to these healthy winter sports,” says Patrick Arkeveld, President and CEO of the Canadian Ski Council. “It keeps them fit, less prone to obesity, and outside and active during the winter months. Better yet, skiing and snowboarding are sports kids can do with the entire family for a lifetime.” The Canadian Ski Council’s SnowPass gives kids in Grades 4 and 5 (born in 2003 or 2004) three lift tickets at each and every participating ski area across Canada for the entire winter; providing them with an opportunity to ski or snowboard hundreds of times over the winter season, for free.

THE NEWS REVIEW 18-1st Avenue North, Yorkton, SK S3N 1J4
Producer livelihood depends on it. The Saskatchewan Government has announced it is calling on the Federal Government to immediately oversee negotiations between the grain companies and CP and CN that will establish specific parameters around getting grain from the farm gate to ships at port. “In our meetings last week, both CN and CP indicated they are prepared to negotiate and sign level of service agreements with grain shippers with reciprocal penalties and we are asking the Federal Government to immediately ensure this happens,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd details. “Railway companies assured us they are ramping up to have thousands more grain cars per week taking grain to ports and this will be sustained until at least December 2014. Grain companies told us they could quickly move to provide service 24 hours a day if the grain reaches them.”
Boyd adds, that the provincial government will be closely monitoring basis levels to ensure that they are reduced as grain car movement improves. After meetings with grain companies in Regina and Winnipeg, and CN and CP in Montreal and Calgary, the ministers tasked with ensuring Saskatchewan farmers see more of their record crop move are certain that a co-operative effort between the Federal Government, the rail companies and grain companies will see dramatic efficiencies in the system. In addition to these immediate actions, the Provincial Government says it is supporting the Federal Government as it moves to bring more transparency and accountability into the system. This should include having weekly reporting requirements around actual car spots, loading at country elevators, delivery of cars to ports and unloading reports at ports. Continued on Page 2.
