9:15 Am Four Seasons Saskatchewan Provincial Parks Cabin Owners’ Association ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING October 23, 2010 – 9:15 a.m. Four Seasons Sheraton Hotel, Saskatoon, SK SUMMARY OF THE MEETING In attendance: Representatives from the following provincial park cottage association: Greenwater PP; Howe Bay-MLPP; Cypress Hills PP; Greig Lake-MLPP; Sask. Landing PP; Kimball Lake-MLPP; Pike Lake PP; Narrow Hills PP; Kenosee Lake-Moose Mountain PP; Jeanette Lake-MLPP; Madge Lake-Duck Mountain PP; Lac LaRonge PP; Flotten Lake-MLPP; Delorme’s Beach-Battlefords PP. Regrets: Good Spirit PP; Lac des Iles Lake-MLPP 1. The President, Judy Riou, welcomed everyone who traveled to Saskatoon for the meeting 2. Agenda adopted with changes. 3. The minutes of previous AGM were read. 4. The Treasurer’s report was presented by the Secretary-Treasurer, Ian McNaughton 5. 1. New Business: a) A review of Association constitution took place. Changes were made and carried. b) Annual Membership Fees – The annual fees were reviewed and will remain the same. Reminder that annual fees must be paid prior to the AGM each year or the member delegate is ineligible to vote. c) SPPCOA website. Judy encouraged more usage. At the very least each association should send her their current executive contact information each year. d) President’s Report was given by Judy with an overview of the year. She reviewed all correspondence she received. She read a report provided to her from Bob McEachern, Manager, Parks Service with an overview of Parks for 2010. Discussions ensued. 5. 2. Review of Appeals and Appeals process. Of the 28 appeals heard, 21 were successful and 7 were not. Documents on Post Appeal results for the applied land rates for each park and subdivision were handed out. The Lease Fees Committee had brought up with Parks Branch that allowing only 1 year to appeal the new land assessment, prior to a cottager even receiving their lease fee invoice, is unreasonable. Parks Branch will look into the possibility of having a 2nd year to appeal. 5. 3. An overview of the lease fee discussions between the SPPCOA Committee and Parks Branch ensued. Documents were distributed to delegates. The SPPCOA Committee Chair (Judy) had kept in contact with cottage association delegates via email throughout the discussions. Each delegate had an opportunity to discuss their own park’s individual Direct Service fees with their own Park Supervisors prior to implementation. TPCS had a 4-year goal to collect $2.1 million from the 12 parks. The increases to fees are phased in over the first 3 years. The fees are made up of the direct service cost and land lease fee. Discussions ensued. 5. 4. A discussion took place on when to elect the new lease fee committee prior to the next 4-year lease fees, which would be implemented in 2014/2015. It was decided by delegates that we would wait until the assessment process is in place and elect the new committee at our AGM in that future year. 5. 5. A review on RPR’s (Real Property Reports) took place. A 21 year lease will be not renewed without the submission of an RPR and an inspection of the property to ensure nothing from the original RPR has changed. The RPR is also required (if prior to a 21 year lease renewal) if the cabin is being sold or if another name is being added to the lease. The RPR will only be required once, unless significant changes have been made to a lot upon inspection by parks staff. Parks Branch staff say they are to work on reasonable solutions and may grandfather some situations if warranted. They will deal firmly with true violations by a lease holder that was done with no verbal permission or permit. A discussion ensued. 5. 6. A discussion took place on the 21-year lease and potential problems with obtaining financing for buyers if the lease only has a few years left. 5.7. Problems with Parks Branch lease transfer documents. A discussion paper was distributed to delegates and discussion ensued. 5.8. The director from Cypress Hills gave an overview of the Friends Of The Park program that has been implemented at Cypress Hills. The Friends of Cypress Hills Park Inc.was incorporated in Saskatchewan and registered with CRA as a not-for-profit charitable corporation in 2003. The objective of the organization is to work cooperatively with Park management and staff to enhance the educational, recreational and interpretive programs in the Cypress Hills Park as well as facilities in the park. Information was provided and a discussion ensued. For further information go to their website: www.friendsofthepark.ca 5. 9. Proper lake management is important to our parks. A director from Pike Lake cottage association spoke on the current lake management at that lake. Their association has been working hard to get the lake cleaned up. They have even purchased their own machine for removing algae, etc. from the lake. They are in ongoing discussions with all users of the park, Parks Branch and Fisheries Branch to work together for the betterment of the lake. 5.10. Election of Officers. Judy announced that she is stepping down as President after being in the position for 6 years. She will remain on as Past-President. The Vice-President position was vacant last year as well. The election ensued. After much time, a new slate of officers was elected. Ian McNaughton was elected for another 2-year term as Secretary-Treasurer. Reed Burton was elected for a 1-year term as Vice-President. Bill Duke was elected for a 1-year term as President. Judy Riou is the Past-President and will help and mentor when requested. 6. Other Business: a) Discussion ensued on the unreasonable amount of time it is taking for Parks Branch to renew a lease. It is taking a minimum of 14 weeks and in some cases up to 6 months to process. In future discussions, the Officers need to discuss the options with Parks Branch to get leases out quicker. A discussion ensued. b) A delegate pointed out that there have been changes to park regulations. The total combined sq. footage of outbuildings such as a garage, shed, etc. has now been limited to being no larger than the sq. footage of your cabin. Discussion ensued. c) A Roundtable discussion took place on the happenings in each park. Some of the highlights were: Battleford – New underground power lines are complete Cypress Hills – An ongoing cougar watch program is happening in their park. Discussions on trailers being parked on cottage lots ongoing. (See Moose Mountain) Sask. Landing – Parks have implemented a firewood purchase program. Irrigation site ongoing and costs rising. Cottages are concerned and monitoring. Pike Lake – Ongoing lake management program Narrow Hills – A new wier in place there for a cost of $300,000. ATV use banned in core area and allowed on trails. A new ATV club has been formed. Would be good to have a storage area at the park. Ongoing discussions with Parks Branch. Moose Mountain (Kenosee) - Capital improvements in the campground this year with 3 shower houses and 3 playgrounds built. A huge issue arose this year on camper trailers being used or stored on a cottage leased lot. This is not allowed and Parks Branch is starting to implement the rule. This is causing a lot of angst with some cabin owners. Parks will be changing regulations to charge the normal camping permit fee to any trailer parked on a cottage lot and that a trailer can only be parked on a cottage lot no more than 14 days in total per summer season. The issue has pitted cabin owners against each other. (Cypress Hills mentioned that this issue is ongoing at their park as well and the same rules will be applied there next summer on purchasing permit, etc.) Second dwellings on leased lots at Kenosee are also being questioned and this is causing problems as well because there are two opposite opinions on this. Expect more discussions on this in the coming year. Lac LaRonge - Sask. Water Corp has upgraded the damn at Rapid River. Water levels remain constant. The marine railway was repaired at Rapid River so they can get boats in. The portage railway covers 500 meters between LaRonge and Hale Lake and gives lightweight boats access to Rapid River and Iskwatigan Lake. Cottagers don’t take their docks out as most cottages are located on the various islands. Greenwater - There has been problems with speeding in the subdivisions. Speed bumps were put up in one subdivision which has helped a bit, but still problems. Appeals were successful in the one subdivision last year. Problems with the Government granting private enterprises around the park to cut into park forest on crown land to cut wider roads, etc. This should not have been allowed. Government was also going to allow a private enterprise to put in a private campground. Everything is halted when cottage president pointed out that the proper due process must take place and request for proposals should go out to all parties that may be interested in future park development of any kind. A process is now in place with ongoing discussions. ATV’s not too much of a problem in the summer. Greig Lake-Meadow Lake PP – Lake levels are down with new culverts in place. Ongoing beaver control. Winter storage of docks an ongoing problem. Emergency siren is in place for any problems so all can be alerted. Flotten Lake–Meadow Lake PP - Security is an ongoing problem.

  • Saskatchewan Birding Trail Experience (Pdf)
    askatchewan has a wealth of birdwatching opportunities ranging from the fall migration of waterfowl to the spring rush of songbirds and shorebirds. It is our hope that this Birding Trail Guide will help you find and enjoy the many birding Slocations in our province. Some of our Birding Trail sites offer you a chance to see endangered species such as Piping Plovers, Sage Grouse, Burrowing Owls, and even the Whooping Crane as it stops over in Saskatchewan during its spring and fall migrations. Saskatchewan is comprised of four distinct eco-zones, from rolling prairie to dense forest. Micro-environments are as varied as the bird-life, ranging from active sand dunes and badlands to marshes and swamps. Over 350 bird species can be found in the province. Southwestern Saskatchewan represents the core of the range of grassland birds like Baird's Sparrow and Sprague's Pipit. The mixed wood boreal forest in northern Saskatchewan supports some of the highest bird species diversity in North America, including Connecticut Warbler and Boreal Chickadee. More than 15 species of shorebirds nest in the province while others stop over briefly en-route to their breeding grounds in Arctic Canada. Chaplin Lake and the Quill Lakes are the two anchor bird watching sites in our province. These sites are conveniently located on Saskatchewan's two major highways, the Trans-Canada #1 and Yellowhead #16. Both are excellent birding areas! Oh! ....... don't forget, birdwatching in Saskatchewan is a year round activity. While migration provides a tremendous opportunity to see vast numbers of birds, winter birding offers you an incomparable opportunity to view many species of owls and woodpeckers and other Arctic residents such as Gyrfalcons, Snowy Owls and massive flocks of Snow Buntings.

  • Healthy Beaches Report
    Saskatchewan Recreational Water Sampling Results to July 8, 2019 Water is Caution. Water Water is not Data not yet suitable for quality issues suitable for available/Sampling swimming observed swimming complete for season Legend: Recreational water is considered to be microbiologically safe for swimming when single sample result contains less than 400 E.coli organisms in 100 milliliters (mLs) of water, when the average (geometric mean) of five samples is under 200 E.coli/100 mLs, and/or when significant risk of illness is absent. Caution. A potential blue-green algal bloom was observed in the immediate area. Swimming is not recommended; contact with beach and access to facilities is not restricted. Resampling of the recreational water is required. Swimming Advisory issued. A single sample result containing ≥400 E.coli/100 mLs, an average (geometric mean) of five samples is >200 E.coli/100 mLs, an exceedance of the guideline value for cyanobacteria or their toxins >20 µg/L and/or a cyanobacteria bloom has been reported. Note: Sampling is typically conducted from June – August. Not all public swimming areas in Saskatchewan are monitored every year. Historical data and an annual environmental health assessment may indicate that only occasional sampling is necessary. If the quality of the area is deteriorating, then monitoring of the area will occur. This approach allows health officials to concentrate their resources on beaches of questionable quality. Every recreational area is sampled at least once every five years. Factors affecting the microbiological quality of a water body at any given time include type and periodicity of contamination events, time of day, recent weather conditions, number of users of the water body and, physical characteristics of the area.

  • Annotated Bibliography of Palaeoenvironmental Studies Within the E-SCAPE Study Area
    E-SCAPE Edmonton component of the SCAPE project Annotated Bibliography of Palaeoenvironmental Studies Within the E-SCAPE Study Area Alwynne B. Beaudoin Quaternary Environments Provincial Museum of Alberta 12845-102nd Avenue Edmonton, Alberta, T5N 0M6 and Tim Panas Anthropology Department University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 2E1 May 1 2004 E-SCAPE Manuscript 16 Introduction Established in March 2000, the SCA PE (Study of Cultural Adaptations in the Canadian Prairie Ecozone) project has endeavored to create a greater understanding of human history in western Canada through the examination of human interaction with the natural environment over the past 9,000 years. While focussing on such fields as archaeology, history and ethnohistory, the project also relies heavily on palaeoenvironmental studies to provide an accurate reconstruction of the world that Aboriginal peoples inhabited in southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Work has been undertaken to create this palaeoenvironmental portrait at the E-SCAPE node (Edmonton component of the SCAPE project). One of the main goals is to examine pollen records from dated lake cores within the study area to create ecological reconstructions for time slices at 10,000 yr BP, 9,000 yr BP, 6,000 yr BP, 3,000 yr BP, 1,500 yr BP and 500 yr BP. (For a more complete description of the methodology involved in this work, see Beaudoin and Panas, 2002). As part of this research, a large bibliography of palaeoenvironmental and lake core references has been amassed from government reports, theses, unpublished sources, journal articles, and books. This brief report describes how these source materials were collected.
