By Alan Hustak Grasslands News

Ron Shordee was first in line when the Farmers’ Mar- ket opened in Fort Qu’Appelle on Saturday. He waited about 40 minutes ahead of the anx- ious crowd of shoppers that grew behind him. “I wanted to get here early. I have a lot of things to do,” he said, “I want to get the shopping out of the way first.” Shordee was among a steady stream of customers that flowed in one direction through the stalls when the market opened on Saturday after a six week delay. The market was also open for business again on Canada Day. “It is such a blessing to see the market open again,” said Anne Stutak, a vendor with Kangro Gardening from York- ton. “So many people were just happy to get out in the open again.” Kelvin Koo, an inspector with the Saskatch- ewan Health Authority was impressed with the fenced-in operation and its crowd con- trol. “It’s good, everything is good.” Elroy and Mary Ann Senft drove in from Lemberg for the ALAN HUSTAK | GRASSLANDS NEWS day. “We were out for a drive, Shopping local and stopped,” Mary Ann /DXUD5HGKHDGVKRZVRIIDÀWWLQJPHVVDJHRQKHUEDJDWWKHRSHQLQJRIWKH)DUPHUV·0DUNHWLQ)RUW4X·$SSHOOH7KH)DUPHU·V said.”This is such an excellent 0DUNHWUHWXUQHGIRUWKHVXPPHUDIWHUDVL[ZHHNGHOD\GXHWRWKH&29,'SDQGHPLF%RWKYHQGRUVDQGSHRSOHDWWHQGLQJWKH layout.

When you look back at Canada’s history; it is of the popular opinion that the nation’s founder was the French explorer Jacques Cartier. Although Cartier is credited with the discovery, there are also many historic sights in Labrador that indicate that Vikings were actually the first sea voyagers to arrive on the east coast. Between the years 1534 and 1542, King Francis the First of France funded three trips which were to be made by Jacques Cartier. After completing a 14-month excursion across the Atlantic, Cartier continued down what is now known as the Saint Lawrence River and set foot upon the land which would eventually become the Province of Quebec. If you grew up in Canada during the 90’s, you may already know that Cartier is also credited for the nam- ing of the country. After hearing the word “Kanata” which meant “village” in Iroquoian, the explorer passed on this information, which later became the nation’s namesake. The story was made famous after it was formatted into a short film by Historica Canada which, among their other historical pieces, played fre- quently between many national broadcasts. What was not mentioned was how the differently spelled “Can- ada” caught on. The name as we know it today started being used on early maps in the 1550’s and the spelling as such, stuck. It’s not clear as to who originally drew the maps but they were eventually responsible for the way in which the country’s name is spelled today. On July 1, 1867, the Constitution Act of 1867 was developed, then known as the British North American Act. The following year, at the request of Governor General Lord Monck, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II announced that her subjects across Canada could celebrate July 1. By 1879, federal law stipulated that the day be deemed a statutory holiday which would honor the anniversary of Confederation; a celebration which would later be known for the remainder of the century as Dominion Day. It was not until October of 1982 that Canada Day got its name. Fast-forward a generation and people and families across the country flooded the highways to travel to Canada’s capital to attend the 150th Anniversary of Confederation. Tens of thousands flocked to the event at Parliament Hill, including The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall. The luckiest among those attending were residents to the city, but travelers who packed their raincoats and umbrellas braved the weather as a massive rainstorm put a damper on the festivities. One little known fact that many Canadians Melville celebrates are unaware of is that preparations, including audio for the event were tested over two years in advance. On a weekday afternoon while Parliament Hill was July 1st with parade largely empty, an impressive collection of crowd noise recordings as well as a pre recorded announcement for the 150th celebration echoed across the vast park By Emily Jane Fulford and downtown area for many miles in anticipation of Grasslands News a potentially quiet and reserved audience.

Monday in time to celebrate Canada Day. the spirit of things early on, the final event was a huge success. This year’s Canada Day parade took place over a much larger route than in previous years. The pur- pose of such being that, with social distancing in mind, the crowds would need to spread over a larger area. The extended parade route went through the city and downtown area as well as a large number of residen- tial roads and was also set up to be adjacent to most local parks and Melville Comprehensive School. “I think it’s something a lot of families were looking forward to,” said one homeowner on Seventh Avenue, whose house was on the parade route. “It was a long winter being stuck inside, especially for the kids; it’s tough on them...Now it’s summer and that helps a lot.” The parade featured many decorations, a particular favorite being the giant gumball machine. The impres- sive float prop was actually made out of an inflatable winter decoration that Jeniffer Mann and the team at Tourism Melville redecorated and then filled with giant gum balls (balloons). Although fireworks are usually set for Canada Day, they were postponed this year early on so as to avoid issues with social distancing. However, due to the weather, it would have been an inevitability.

Locals receive SAHAA awards Provincial Grasslands News

The Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association held their 72nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) online on June 25 where individuals from Lemberg and Ester- hazy were among those recognized with service awards. The Association wrapped up the activities for the 2019 – 2020 school year at the meeting and recognized individuals for their dedication to the student-athletes of our province. The SHSAA also honored retiring Execu- tive members and elected new members to the Executive Council. During the past year, over 30,000 students partici- pated in interschool activities at the senior high school level despite basketball and badminton only having partial seasons and track & field not having a season due to COVID-19 restrictions. The SHSAA recognized individual and team provincial champions in 7 of the 10 activities offered to the student-athletes of the 350+ high schools across the province that comprises the SHSAA. Honoured with Service Awards this year were Don Mcewen of Lemberg, Reg Leidl of Esterhazy, Shelley Sar- gent of Carlyle, Jennifer Foley of Shaunavon, Al Wan- dler of Assiniboia, Rob Kozinski of Meadow Lake, Grant Elke of Central Valley, Jill Konkin of Saskatoon, Pat Orobko of Unity, Phil Guebert of Outlook, Lyle Morley of Regina, Jerry Heffernan of Melfort, Mark Williment of La Ronge and Curtis Strueby of Lake Lenore The SHSAA Merit Award, the highest honor the As- sociation bestows on any of its members, was presented to Myles Loeffler of Martensville and Barry Croshaw of Watrous.
