Updates on Vandalism and Other News

Since our last post, we've had quite a few events and changes come through. Our first big event was our participation in the North Battleford Wildlife Federation's Yellow Fish Road, on June 5. We had a smaller turnout than one would have hoped, but the volunteers worked hard to spread our message about dangerous storm drain practices. One can only hope our flyer and vandalism campaign will change people's use of storm drains in the future.

Our next event came on Monday, June 7, when we attended Moosomin First Nation's Treaty Day events. It was fascinating to see the pipe ceremony and tipi raising, and we got to sample such delights as taco-in-a-bag (it was pretty good). We also got a great opportunity to spread some water quality knowledge, and hear about some of their local concerns. We were glad to hear that they are concerned with their water quality, especially in conjunction with their lagoon problems. We also received lots of help from some of the younger visitors in setting up and carrying out our demonstrations. In conclusion, it was a successful day.

We've also made a new addition to our organization. Mathew Corrin is our new events coordinator, and he'll be working with us to help plan events and raise watershed health awareness. Keep an eye out for him at events.

Stay alert for our newsletter, which comes out later this month, and follow us on twitter at nsrbc or on facebook for updates on upcoming events. Thanks for your interest in our group and our events.
