For too long, the NDP has squandered Saskatchewan’s tremendous potential and recorded the longest hospital waiting lists, crumbling highways, the highest crime rates, the largest population loss and the worst job creation record in the country.

  • Strike at the Mississippian Carbonate Factory

    Strike at the Mississippian Carbonate Factory

    Strike at the Mississippian Carbonate Factory: Sequence Boundaries within the Mississippian Carbonates of Southeast Saskatchewan J.H.Lake, Lake Geological Services Inc, Swift Current, Sask. S9H 3W8 The depositional cyclicity of Mississippian Carbonates in the Williston Basin is well documented. Major Sequence Boundaries attests to near complete drainage of the basin (ie. top of Alida Beds / Kisbey Sands interval). Sea level drops of shorter duration also record repeated devastating shutdowns of the Carbonate Factory with resulting exposure and erosion. Sea level fluctuation patterns are repeated throughout the Alida, Frobisher and Midale Bed cycles. Repetitions include the Transgressive Surfaces of Erosion at the base of Alida (Handsworth Pool example) and base of Lower Midale (Weyburn Pool example). Peritidal muddy sediments were exposed and eroded and subsequently flooded and onlapped by higher energy sediments in both cycles. A major Sequence Boundary separates the Lower and Upper Midale ( Midale Vuggy- Midale Marly) section. This boundary preserves erosional relief in the order of 10 meters at Weyburn Pool and the total loss of the Lower Midale section to the east at Benson Pool. The Upper Midale section represents a Highstand Systems Tract with potential to preserve low energy shallow aeolian-derived clay-rich and organic-rich sediments (similar to modern Belize coastal deposits). These sediments were prone to dolomitization resulting from restricted circulation and fresh water mixing (Midale Marly reservoir). Vuggy porosity distribution throughout the section further emphasizes repeated shutdowns of the Carbonate Factory through time. The Frobisher Beds example from Hastings Pool demonstrates that vuggy porosity developed contemporaneously with sedimentation. Ripup clasts with vuggy porosity are eroded and incorporated in the overlying sediments.

COMMUNITY Vi s i o n i n g Creating the Path for Our Future With operating and infrastructure costs rising, resident’s expectations increasing, and budgets not stretching as far as they once did, many municipalities across Canada are realizing that in order to create a quality community in a cost eff ective manner, they need to be proactive in deciding what their future will be. Community Visioning is one approach that municipalities are now using to identify what their future should be and the tools they need to get there. WHAT IS A COMMUNITY VISION? A Community Vision is a planning tool that is helps identify common goals and articulating a community’s collective desired future.
