Meals on Wheels For those of you who would like to volunteer with Meals on Wheels again, you will be required to do a short training course, fill out a form, and sign one form, in order to serve. It’s not too involved, and you have the option of doing it online or reading a booklet on your own. The Covid-19 Pandemic has created many changes to their standards and policies. Below is the link to the Infection Protection Control training course. It’s approximately 30 minutes. If the online option doesn’t work, you can read and review the attached hand book and sign page 2 of the handbook. https://skhalearninganddevelopment.thinkific.com/courses/sha-IPAC If we have enough people trained as volunteers for Sask Health we will have the option of delivering meals on a more regular basis, for example 1 weekend every 2 months, but there will only be one route each day, and it’s much quicker and easier than it was before. Let me know if you’d like more information on the training, or you can contact Allison directly: Allison Klein Volunteer Services Coordinator – Kindersley, Kerrobert, Luseland, Eston & Eatonia Kindersley Intergrated Health Care Facility Saskatchewan Health Authority 306-463-1000 (ext 2504) or 306-460-5176(cell) I would like to get a list of names to her by October 1, so if this is an area where you would like to serve, please get the signed forms to me or Allison by September 30. .

  • A STUDY of MIGRATING ROSS GEESE in WESTERN SASKATCHEWAN by ALEX DZUBIN
    Nov., 1965 511 A STUDY OF MIGRATING ROSS GEESE IN WESTERN SASKATCHEWAN By ALEX DZUBIN The Ross Goose (Chen r&i) was, until recently, considered a very rare and endangered species throughout much of western North America. Its limited breeding ground in the Perry River district, Northwest Territories, Canada, its narrow but traditional migration lane from Lake Athabasca, through Alberta and along the Rock- ies to Montana, and its restricted wintering area in the Central Valley of California made it a unique species of particular concern to conservationists. Although a pro- tected bird from 1931 to 1963, small numbers of Ross Geese were taken inadvertently by hunters, both on the Canadian prairies and on the Californian wintering grounds. The total population prior to 1955 was estimated at only 6,000 (Morse, 1963). Within the last decade the indicated status of this species has been much improved (Jahn et al., 1963). Some apparent shifts in migration lanes have occurred, and a general increase in numbers has been noted east of the traditional migration route in Canada. The purpose of this paper is to document the transposition of one of the major migra- tion pathways into western Saskatchewan, evaluate the birds’ present status, and de- scribe the recent reproductive successof the population. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many individuals of various state, federal, and provincial agencies contributed generously to the compilation of distribution records. I am particularly indebted to John Lynch, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, who helped initiate the study, provided unpublished data, and criticized the manuscript. David Marshall delineated the wintering areas and reviewed the manuscript.
