OPINION Wetlands are disappearing fast so urgent action is required

Editor’s note: The following editorial is from the Nature Conserv- ancy of Canada to mark World Wetlands Day, February 2. Canada is home to 25 per cent of the world’s wetlands, which are important for the health of Canada and the health of our planet. In Saskatchewan, we see proof all around us. From the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers, to the many lakes scat- tered in the north, these are both crucial ecosystems for plants and animals, and great recreation spots. However, these eco- systems are disappearing very quickly due to residential and commercial development, conversion to agriculture, invasive species and pollution. Every day, important wetlands are being lost across Canada. Since 1900, over 64 per cent of the world’s wetlands have been lost, with nearly 50 per cent of this loss happening since 1970. Here in Canada, we have seen wetlands disappear in the places where we need them the most. In settled areas of Saskatchewan, 70 per cent of the original wetlands are gone. As we lose these places, we also lose both nature and the cru- cial ecological services that healthy wetlands provide. contact us The Southwest Booster welcomes letters on matters of public interest for publica- Many wildlife species rely on wetlands.

SOUTHWEST BOOSTERX THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2018 17 BRONCOS Broncos limit Pats to two goals in weekend sweep STEVEN MAH SOUTHWEST BOOSTER

The Swift Current Broncos allowed only two goals over 120 minutes to sweep a home- and-away set against the Me- morial Cup host Regina Pats over the weekend. Saturday, the Broncos got a pair of goals from captain Glenn Gawdin as they de- feated the visiting Regina Pats 3-1. In a rare Saturday after- noon game, Gawdin notched the game winner, his 39th of the season, on an innocent looking rush midway through the third period with the game tied 1-1. “It was just kind of a scram- ble in the neutral zone and it popped out to Steener [Tyler Steenbergen], who played it to Hepo [Aleksi Heponiemi]. I was wide and he played it out to me. A couple times I felt like I made the extra pass so I just tried to get it on net and it went in. Nothing can go wrong shooting the puck,” STEVEN MAH/SOUTHWEST BOOSTER said Gawdin.
