Bear Paw Archers’ 3D Shoot hits the mark
Clint Schachtel prepares to loose an arrow, during day one of the Bear Paw
Archers 3D Shoot.
Featuring seasoned archers and hunters, and
young, newcomers in equal measure, the 23rd
Annual Shellbrook Bear Paw Archers 3D Shoot
hit the bullseye when it came to fun.
“It’s a big social event,” said Ralph Harris, one
of the organizers. “You get out there and get to
see friends you haven’t seen for awhile.”
Hosted at the Holbein Ball Diamonds on Aug.
8 and 9, the two-day competition saw 78 archers
come out to test their skill against each other,
as they competed in many categories, including
cubs, juniors, women and men. While all cubs
received medals for participating, only the three
archers with the highest scores in the junior,
women’s and men’s groups took home prizes.
Armed with recurve or compound bows, the
archers were free to make their way around
the wooded course, which featured 25 targets.
Whether it was distance or obstacles, each target
posed a different challenge to the archers.
At the end of the two days, the competition
proved tight, but Brandon Stewart claimed first
place in the men’s limited group. In Men’s unlimited, Clinton Williams earned gold, while
Ron Smith took silver and Mike Poschke won
the bronze medal. Meanwhile, men’s traditional
Hayden Bates takes aim at an unsuspecting deer target. He went on to finish
second in the junior group.
gold went to Tyson Dumont, with Arnie Winder
taking silver, and Clem Delisl earning bronze.
In the women’s unlimited group, Jen Keyowski came out on top, while Camille Harris earned
a silver medal and Maxine Ross shot her way
to a bronze. Illa Sheppard earned first place in
women’s traditional.
Rounding out the medal winners, the junior
category was won by Corbin Long. Hayden Bates
earned a silver medal, and Jake Harasyn came in
third place.
The annual event also featured novelty shoots,
including an iron buck and a bag shoot, but the
winners of those events weren’t known at time
of publication.

Sentencing delayed for accused in high school stabbing
The ongoing legal saga of a 19-year-old man from Shellbrook, who allegedly stabbed a classmate, hit yet another
snag as a court date this week ended without resolution.
Michael Rudolph made a brief appearance in Prince Albert
Provincial Court Monday morning, where he was scheduled
to be sentenced on at least one of his charges. But instead,
court was adjourned until Oct. 5 to allow time for a pre-sentence investigation report to be completed.
Rudolph faces two charges in relation to the attack, which
occurred at W.P. Sandin High School on the morning of May
15, including one count of aggravated assault and one count
of carrying a weapon for the purpose of committing an offence.
Rudolph already pleaded guilty to the latter charge at an
earlier court date in July.
The attack sent a 17-year-old girl to hospital with what
were described at the time to be “serious injuries.” According
to the RCMP, the girl was stabbed while exiting a classroom,
and Rudolph was later seen leaving the school.
Both W.P. Sandin and Shellbrook Elementary School were
put on lockdown for part of the day. Exterior doors were
locked and monitored, and classes continued.
Rudolph was reportedly arrested without incident at a
Shellbrook home an hour after the incident occurred.

Regina Bypass will
Improve Safety and Save
$380 Million
Site work has begun in preparation for construction of the
largest infrastructure project
in Saskatchewan’s history. The
Regina Bypass, which will see
a dozen overpasses, about 40
kilometres of new twinned
highway, will improve safety
on Highway 1 east of Regina,
reduce congestion in and
around the city and support
economic growth throughout
the region.
A public-private partnership (P3) model will save $380
million and help to deliver the
project on-time and on-budget
in a timeframe that would otherwise not have been achievable through a traditional
construction approach. Based
on preliminary numbers, the
Regina Bypass project will create 8,200 construction-related

Investing in a Livestock
and Forage Centre of
Excellence
Committed to an innovative,
competitive and profitable agriculture and agri-food sector,
our government is investing
in a new Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence. This
new Centre of Excellence will
incorporate and build on collaborative work in areas such
as herd health, animal welfare,
disease prevention, nutrition,
management, public health,
environmental stewardship,
food safety and security, forage
utilization, breeding and development.
Saskatchewan is home to
world-class livestock and forage research work, and the
creation of a Centre of Excellence will support the continued profitability and sustainability of an industry that is a
major economic driver for our
province and for Canada. The
work of this centre will help
Saskatchewan’s farmers and
ranchers remain competitive
in the global marketplace.

22 Months of Lowest
Unemployment Rate in
Canada
According to Statistics
Canada, Saskatchewan has
3
maintained the lowest unemployment rate in the country
for almost two straight years.
While we know there are gains
and losses taking place in the
job market – something we
watch closely – consistently
having the lowest unemployment rate in Canada means
a sustainable and reliable job
market that speaks volumes
to business and industry when
they are looking for jurisdictions to invest in.
Despite recent economic
challenges, the women and
men of Saskatchewan continue to work hard to contribute
to Saskatchewan’s economic
prosperity while also making
important strides in their own
quality of life. And given that
the consensus among economic forecasters is for continued
growth, Saskatchewan’s current and future employment
outlook remains positive.
The history of stupid liquor laws
By the Canadian
Taxpayers Federation
It’s important to have a
friend who’s a bit of a jerk.
It’s always painfully obvious
which contestants on So You
Think You Can Dance don’t
have that one jerk friend. If
only those poor souls had a jerk
in their life to make fun of their
dancing before the TV cameras
start rolling.
We’ve got (partially) good
news for the Saskatchewan
Liquor and Gaming Authority
(SLGA): the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is your tell-itlike-it-is friend. Allow us to be
a bit of a jerk.
Here’s the truth: governments stink at selling booze.
It’s time to stop.
For those who are too friendly to say it bluntly, let’s bring up
an embarrassing history the
government would probably
rather forget.
In 1916, 75 per cent of Saskatchewanians voted in favour
of prohibition. To be fair, that
wasn’t the government’s fault.
That one was on we the people.
That vote meant getting a drink
required a trip to the doctor for
some single malt cough syrup.
In 1924, 57 per cent of voters
came to their senses and voted
to end prohibition. But by then,
government had a hold on the
bottle and didn’t let go. Liquor
was only available in government stores.
A decade later, the Saskatchewan Hotel Association took
action. Innkeepers collected
enough signatures to force a
referendum demanding the
opportunity to sell beer by
the glass as well as the bottle.
Again, voters came through,
SALE BY TENDER
1. Under the provisions of The Tax Enforcement Act, the R.M.
of Canwood No. 494 offers for sale the following properties:
Block A, Plan No. 101510615 Ext 20; a portion of SW 16-49-05 W3
Lot 22, Block 1, Mont Nebo, Plan BD532 Ext 0
2. Tenders must be submitted in a sealed envelope marked “Property
Tender” and must indicate which property the tender is for. Tenders

10, Canwood, Sask., S0J 0K0.
3. Tenders must be postmarked by 4:00 p.m. on September 11, 2015.
4. A certified cheque to the Municipality for 10% of the amount of the
tender must accompany the tender. Tenders submitted without certified funds will not be considered.
5. Highest, or any tender, not necessarily accepted.
6. The successful bidder will have 45 days to provide the balance of
cash to complete the purchase. The deposit will be forfeited if the
successful bidder does not finalize the agreement for sale within the
required time.
7. All legal costs, title transfer fees and applicable taxes are the
responsibility of the purchaser and are in addition to the bid price.

and thus off-sales and hotel
bars were born.
The hoteliers loosened the
government’s grip on the bottle, but officials kept a cork on
any fun. Customers had to sit
down to drink – no standing
allowed. No food, entertainment or gambling was allowed.
And absolutely no women were
allowed – no women drinking, no women serving drinks,
no women even entering the
premise.
Perhaps predictably, forcing
men to do nothing but drink
while they’re drinking leads to
trouble.
After about two decades of
that poor behaviour, the officials found a solution: they
allowed women to drink with
men. It’s doubtful that this
measure was implemented as a
favour to long-thirsty women.
The authorities thought that
women would have a “civilizing effect” on the drunk men.
Selling liquor in small towns
turned out to be a burden for
the government. In 1965, it
decided to let private businesses such as grocery stores
take over as liquor vendors in
places the government didn’t
want the job. Many such vendors have peacefully provided
bottles of wine and six packs
of beer along with bread and
eggs for decades. The government has diligently prevented
that kind of convenience from
spreading to the big cities ever
since.
It’s true, change has been
coming a little faster in recent
years. Saskatchewan now has
a few private liquor stores and
they’re great. The government
cut red tape such as regulations
limiting golf courses to one
beverage cart per nine holes.
And now the government is
wrapping up an extensive consultation regarding the future
of liquor retailing in Saskatchewan.
But there are still rules in
Saskatchewan that force public
stores and private vendors to
sell warm beer. There are still
limits on the number of offsales in each jurisdiction. And
somehow we’re still debating
whether government should be
selling liquor.
Look SLGA – you tried.
And, yes, you’ve made some
improvements. We appreciate
that. We do. But you’re still bad
at selling booze. We’ve all been
to private stores in Alberta –
the sky didn’t fall. In fact, it’s
nice to buy cold beer and have
the cocktail mixes handy by
the till. Even the new Alberta
NDP government hasn’t talked
about going back and nationalizing private stores. Heck, the
grocery store in Ponteix, Sask.,
sells booze and nobody’s heard
of any drunken rioting there.
Please SLGA, stop fooling
around with liquor retailing.
Just stop. No more half mea-
sures. We all know we’re going
to be buying our booze in private stores someday. Let’s just
pop the cork already.

OPINION
August 21, 2015
Diversion season
is in full swing
A common stratagem employed by elected politicians whose
records leave them without legs to stand on, involves creating
diversions to distract voters from the issues.
Depending on the politician’s leanings, the types of diversions used can vary greatly. But all political diversions have
one core element in common: they attempt to engage voters
on a profound emotional level, rather than on a logical or rational level.
Now that a lengthy federal election is officially under way,
the diversions have begun. Leading the way out of the gates,
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and
the federal Conservatives have upped
our recommended daily dosage of fear,
to distract voters from the stagnant Canadian economy and the circus that is
the senate expense scandal trial.
(Though, the party has been cranking up the fear since long before the
election was called, and has been doing
so with all the subtlety and grace of an
enraged bull in a china shop. )
JORDAN
And so, most Canadians astutely recognized
that Prime Minister Harper’s
TWISS
recent promise to impose travel bans
~
to places that are “hotbeds” for terrorism was little more than a diversion.
Reporter
The details of the proposed law,
which Harper vowed to enact if given
another mandate, are vague thus far. But it’s safe to assume
that the travel ban would mimic a similar law passed in Australia in 2014 that punishes unlawful travel to Iraq and Syria
with jail sentences of up to 10 years (regardless of whether or
not travellers commit nefarious deeds whilst abroad).
On the surface, the law seems like a rational approach to
discouraging travel to regions that are governed by terrorist
organizations. But upon closer examination, the law is steeped
in the same cynicism that governs conservative policymaking,
and is little more than posturing to make Harper seem like the
top candidate when it comes to Canada’s security.
For starters, Bill C-51, and other laws passed to combat terrorism, have already made it illegal for Canadians to travel
abroad for the purposes of perpetrating terrorism. So, in actuality, the proposed law would succeed only in making something a shade more illegal than it already is.
But if this law is to be passed, there are also questions that
must be answered. First, which countries will be on the restricted list? And how much terrorism must be committed
before a country or region becomes a “hotbed for terrorism?”
If these questions are answered, then one must also ask
how the law will be enforced. There are no direct flights from
Canada to most of these regions, and ease of travel in the 21st
century makes it hard to prevent aspiring terrorists from joining terrorist groups.
In reality, such a law would require a vast surveillance system to track the activities of nearly all Canadians who travel
abroad, something which no free and democratic country
should ever support.
Lastly, we must ask what kinds of exemptions might be put
in place for those providing humanitarian aid, journalists, or
Canadians visiting family members in the restricted regions.
After all, one could argue that a law that restricts travel to certain regions unfairly punishes Canadians of certain ethnic or
racial backgrounds based on circumstances that are entirely
out of their control.
Imagine, for a moment, that you’re a recent immigrant to
Canada from Iraq or Syria, who is working towards obtaining
citizenship and one day bringing your family to the country.
Now, imagine being told that you must prove that you’re travelling to the region to visit your family before being able to see
them, or being outright prohibited from visiting them.
It’s a heartbreaking scenario. One that no one living in our
country should ever find themselves in. But with a tight election, voters can expect no shortage of fear-based messaging
over the next two months.
And a conservative victory will undoubtedly mean another
term of fear-based governance.

VIEWPOINT
Oil an election issue in Saskatchewan
What’s lost on many – especially many
federal New Democrats – is how long they
have been out of the picture in Saskatchewan.
Of course, that could change on Oct. 19.
New Democratic insiders believe they have
a good chance in Regina Lewvan where Erin
Weir is running and say they are competitive in all three Saskatoon seats with the expectations of winning at least one of them.
They are hopeful of winning Conservative
Rob Clarke’s northern seat, although that
seems to be a three-way race.
A single win would break a 15-year shutout in the province where the CCF/NDP
were born and ruled so long under Tommy
Douglas, Woodrow Lloyd, Allan Blakeney,
Roy Romanow and Lorne Calvert.
But in reality, the federal New Democrats
have long been in a lot worse shape in Saskatchewan than their provincial counterparts that lost power in 2007. In fact, one
pretty much has to go back 22 years to find
the last time an NDP MP has been elected in
a Saskatchewan seat not dominated by urban or northern voters. (Vic Althouse won
MacKenzie in 1993).

governments.

‘Stick to the issues’
Dear Editor,
It is with interest that I read Randy Hoback’s expostulations regarding his vandalized election signs. While I agree
it’s an immature way to express disapproval, in fact all political parties and candidates, including me, have felt this sort
of backlash from time to time.
Mr. Hoback exhorts us instead to “stick to the issues,” but
doesn’t seem to realize that his complaining is profoundly
out of place when set against the real “issues” we face in this
riding.
We have the highest levels of crime ever experienced in
has been so complete that farming may no
longer be the dominate political issue in
many rural ridings. Many rural seats are
dominated by a few larger communities or
smaller cities like Weyburn, Estevan, Swift
Current, Kindersley or Moosomin. It is oil
that has become the major economic activity in these communities – and often the
source of political discussion as well.
So it was with more than passing interest that rural Saskatchewan listened to the
NDP’s star Toronto Centre candidate Linda
McQuaig say:
“A lot of the oilsands oil may have to stay
in the ground” if Canada is to meet its greenhouse gas emission/climate change targets.
McQuaig went on to say: “We (and NDP
government) will know that better once we
properly put in place a climate change accountability system of some kind … once we
have a proper review process for our environmental projects like pipelines.”
Admittedly, there are no oilsands in
southern Saskatchewan. In fact, there are
even times when conventional oil industry
is often at odds with the farming communi-

are out of control here. Farmers will likely experience another year of difficulties in getting grain to market because
of toothless Harper legislation in not providing the necessary mandates to the rail companies to move grain. The
Mike Duffy trial highlights that the Prime Minister’s inner
circle appeared to be involved in a cover-up of the Duffy affair. Members of the Harper team have propagated widespread electoral abuse (robocalls) and through legislation
the Harper government has attempted to take the vote from

rights.
Nor does this automatically mean, as
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the
Conservatives are suggesting, that the NDP
has a “not-so hidden agenda” to shut down
the oilsands and put 100,000 Albertans out
of work. One wonders if even Albertans –
who recently voted in an NDP government
under Rachel Notley – believe that.
But Harper and his Conservatives are
having a heyday with McQuaig’s comments.
As for rural voters, they would seem very
legitimate to ask the NDP what a “proper review process for our environmental projects
like pipelines” under an NDP government
really means. Might it mean a federal NDP
government taxing oil in way that hurts
drilling in places like the Bakken Play?
Sure the NDP gained huge ground under
Jack Layton to become official Opposition
and seem now poised to add to their seat total this election.
But there are a lot of reasons why those
gains won’t likely come in rural Saskatchewan seats.
many Canadians. The Harper government has led us to Canada’s worst economic performance in over 50 years with two
recessions thrown in for good measure. Add to that eight
straight deficit budgets with each deficit being larger than
predicted. These cumulative deficits have added well over
$100 billion to the national debt. And on and on and on….
Mr. Hoback needs to examine, once again, from his position of privilege, what exactly constitutes an “issue”. Indeed
his concern for his signs is out of proportion. The situation is
so dire in our riding that Mr. Hoback should take his own advice more seriously and start talking about these real issues.
Sincerely,
Gordon Kirkby

Outbreak ends at Parkland Integrated Health Centre
A sense of normalcy has
returned to Shellbrook’s
Parkland Integrated Health
Centre, as officials from
the Prince Albert Parkland
Health Region have officially
signalled an end to an outbreak of a gastrointestinal
illness.
The outbreak was declared
15083MF1
on Aug. 8, after a number of
staff and patients began exhibiting symptoms of the illness. Hospital staff and the
health region immediately
implemented outbreak protocols, which included standard isolation of those with
the illness, and restrictions
on access and visitation to
the hospital’s 20-bed acute
care inpatient unit.
According to a release
from the health region, a
team conducted lab tests
and collected samples from
staff and patients showing
signs of the gastrointestinal
illness. The lab results reportedly confirmed the presence of a norovirus.
The Public Health Agency
of Canada says that noroviruses are a group of viruses
that cause gastroenteritis,
an illness that often leads
to vomiting and diarrhoea.
The virus is spread through
direct contact with infected
people, but can also spread
through contact with contaminated surfaces like door
handles, or through the ingestion of contaminated
food or drinking water.
Despite the outbreak, the
hospital’s emergency department remained open,
and there were no restrictions for access to the facility’s 34-bed long-term care
unit.
Though the outbreak in
Shellbrook is now over, the
health region is advising
the public that proper hand
hygiene reduces the risks of
getting and spreading gastrointestinal illnesses. The
health region is also asking
any visitors to perform hand
hygiene upon entering and
leaving the hospital, and requesting that those who are
ill not visit the healthcare facility, regardless of the outbreak status.
In the same press release,
which was issued Monday
afternoon, the health region
also revealed that it is currently battling with its second outbreak of a gastrointestinal illness this month.
According to the report,
the adult mental health unit
at Prince Albert’s Victoria
Hospital has been closed to
visitors and new admissions
after two patients and one
employee contracted the illness. Samples have already
been collected and sent to
the lab, but the organism
causing the outbreak in the
29-bed unit has yet to be
identified.
Thus far, signs are up restricting visitors to the inpatient unit only.

Small communities died with the death of the rail lines
Recently I had the opportunity to drive Highway #22
from Killaly to Lemberg,
and a couple of weeks earlier
had covered the stretch from
Highway #10 to Lemberg.
To say the asphalt surface
was a patchwork affair would
be an understatement, starting with the fact you have to
dodge holes which have yet
to be patched.
Now granted they have
undertaken work to upgrade
a couple of small stretches
where flooding was obviously an issue, but those repairs were clearly made just
to keep the highway useable.
As for the rest of the highways the expectation of it
ever being filled or upgraded
is realistically not on the
books until the year twothousand-and-never.

On one hand rail companies were allowed to
abandon miles and miles of

At the same time grain
companies began closing
small elevators in favour
of more centralized, high

From a purely business
perspective, that of the rail
and grain companies, the
moves made sense as a way
to improve efficiencies and
boost profits.
But there was a cost to the
Prairies.
Without a grain elevator
or rail line more and more

which continues in the sense

Beef producers outline election priorities
The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA)
today released its Federal
Election Priorities document with information
for all candidates running for Parliament in the
upcoming 42nd General
Election on October 19.
Generating $9.7 billion
in farm cash receipts, the
sale of cattle and calves
was the largest single
sector in Canadian agriculture in 2014. With
68,500 beef farms in the
2011 census, beef producers are both major drivers of the rural economy
and can have a significant
inf luence on the outcome
on the election of Members to the 42nd Parliament.
“Cattle producers continue to receive excellent
prices for their cattle due
to a tight global beef supplies and open markets,”
said CCA President Dave
Solverson. “As much as
producers would like
to respond to this clear
market signal and expand
their herds and take advantage of these current
market
opportunities,
other factors can negatively impact their ability
to do so.
This underscores the
importance of a competitive industry supported
by a science-based regulatory environment for
Canada’s beef cattle sector.”
The election priorities document outlines
a number of issues that
can help create the operating environment for
beef cattle herd expansion in Canada, such as
fully funding programs
that help producers manage risk and investing in
infrastructure.

Web: www.scott-moe.com
Once expansion takes
place, secure access to
high value and growing
markets and policies that
ensure the competitiveness of Canadian producers are the key to keeping
the good times rolling.
Investment in research
and sustainable practices
are major priorities for
the Canadian beef sector.
Access to sufficient labour to work on farms
and to process the meat is
a critical issue that needs
to be alleviated. With insufficient numbers of Canadians willing to take
these jobs and insufficient access to immigration, increasing numbers
of live cattle will leave
for processing in the U.S.
and Canada will need to
import more food.
The CCA will be sending its election priorities
to all the national parties
along with a questionnaire seeking feedback
on how they intend to
address the various challenges for beef producers.
As the responses are received, the CCA will post
them, verbatim, on its
website, www.cattle.ca,
for cattle producers to assess for themselves.
The CCA is the national
voice for Canada’s beef
cattle industry represent-
ing 68,500 beef farms
and feedlots.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) today released its top 15 policy wish list for the 2015
federal election.
“We believe these policies – some small, some
big – are practical proposals that will help leave
more money in the pockets of Canadians, give
them better value for tax
dollarsspent and hold our
August 21, 2015
‘15 for 2015’ election wish list
politicians more accountable,” said CTF Federal
Director Aaron Wudrick
“We encourage all parties
to steal any and all of our
proposals as part of their
2015 campaign.”
In no particular order:
1. No pensions for politicians who steal: bring
back Bill C-518 as a government bill, ensuring
Canadians are not on the
15084JJ0
hook for taxpayer-funded
pensions for Senators and
MPs convicted of serious
crimes.
2. End tax-on-tax: ban
the practice of charging
GST/HST after other taxes
have been already been
applied to products (such
as gasoline). This is a pure
revenue grab which should
have been eliminated long
ago.
3. Post all MP and Senator expenses online with
scanned receipts: sunlight
is the best disinfectant.
Politicians will tread carefully if they know their expenses will be made public.
4. Conduct a core review
of government spending,
with a goal of reducing
overall spending: even
adjusting for inflation
and population growth,
the federal government is
spending near an all-time
high. We need to be talking about how to reduce
costs – not an ill-advised
return to “stimulus”, deficits and more debt.
5. Expand the First Nations Financial Transparency Act to include compensation from regional or
national associations: the
FNFTA has made compensation for First Nations
politicians transparent.
Expanding it to include
regional and national association pay is the next
logical step.
6. Pass a “truth in budgeting” law: requiring all
legislation to be costed by
the Parliamentary Budget
Officer would ensure both
taxpayers and politicians
know how much each new
proposal will cost.
7. Reform public sector
pensions: there is no getting around it, definedbenefit plans are expensive and unsustainable in
the long run. Government
employees need to move
over to defined-contribution (RRSP-style) pension
plans.
8. End corporate welfare and shut down regional development agencies: corporate welfare is
wasteful, unfair, economically distorting - a failed
and cynical policy from
top to bottom. Time to end
this shameful practice.
9. Broad-based income
tax cuts through lower
rates and fewer brackets:
boutique credits clutter up
the tax code and single out
favoured groups. Lower,
flatter, simpler taxes are
fairer and more efficient.
10. Pass legislation that
would allow politicians
to be recalled: Canadians
should have the ability to
pass judgment on their
representatives more than
once every four years, and
in serious cases, recall
them to face their constituents.
11. Implement a legislated debt repayment schedule: our $616 billion federal debt gobbles up $26
billion a year in interest
payments alone. We need
a legislated plan to pay it
down – so we can use that
money for priorities Canadians care about.
12. Referendum on abolishing the Senate: unelected and unaccountable –
Canadians should finally
have their say on the Red
Chamber.
13. Improve and expand
the Access to Information
Act: many parts of government need to be brought
under the act; information needs to be shared in
more user-friendly ways;
and our information commissioner needs the power
and resources to pry information out of government
hands.
14. Create a sunshine
list of all federal government employees earning
more than $100,000: most
provinces already have
them – we are long overdue for similar transparency at the federal level.
15. Reform Employment
Insurance: scrap the current plan that is unfair to
both those who collect and
those who pay. Replace the
current system with personal EI Savings Accounts
that keep contributions in
the hands of Canadians.

the Dessert Raffle at the Willick Family Reunion.

About
200
family
members gathered in the
Willoughby
Volunteer
Fire Dept. Recreation
Hall, near Niagara Falls,
Ont. on July 18, 2015 for
another Willick Family
Reunion.
Reunion Association
President Mike Willick
of Rochester, NY hosted
the opening ceremony,
featuring the planting of
two Swamp Oak trees,
a token of our family’s
strength and longevity,
and in memory of deceased loved ones.
As each year and season turns, some of our
beloveds must pass from
this life—some quite
young and others who
have grown dear to many
of us over a long period
of time. Their leaves on
the family tree, like the
chapters of a book, have
come to an end.
But life and family continue to flourish as we
welcome new and cherished members to our
midst. New leaves burst
forth, and new branches are started, through
birth,
adoption
and
marriage. Our “Grove
of Remembrance” was
begun in 2006, with additions in 2009, 2012,
and the two Swamp Oaks
presented here in 2015.
We ask God’s continued
blessing on our whole
family:
Lord, as our family
gathers here, we pause to
offer up this prayer.
Bless the food that we
partake, and every effort
that we make
To build the towns in
which we live – and put
it on our hearts to give
To worthy causes that
we find, and all we do to
serve mankind.
Be with us ‘til we meet
again – and bless our
land and homes. Amen.
As has been the custom over the years, there
were outdoor games and
races for the children, as
well as an activity table
in the hall, where youngsters were invited to
draw, color, and work on
puzzles. There was also
face painting and tattooing which drew much interest. A variety of door
prizes, donated by attendees, was on display,
and sales of tickets on the
Dessert Raffle were brisk.
Three 50/50 draws were
held during the afternoon. The kitchen was
kept busy serving up hot
dogs, hamburgers, fries
and onion rings, with
free coffee on the side.
The Willoughby Volunteer Fire Department
capably took care of the
bar, with no shortage of
customers.
Each registrant for
the Reunion received
a souvenir wine glass
imprinted with the family tree that has become
the official logo for the
Willick Family celebrations. Additional wine
glasses, as well as some
souvenirs left over from
past reunions, were
available for purchase.
The Family History
Table was a popular
stopping place. There
were some interesting
additions to the record,
in the form of photos,
pedigree charts, and
even a Willick Family
Cookbook
containing
some marvelous oldtime recipes! Reunion
Planning
Committee
member Carol Devil-
liers was in charge of the
History Display, ready to
answer questions and assist in whatever way she
could.
The afternoon was
filled with meeting and
greeting, renewing old
acquaintances and adding new ones. The infamous Willick NOSE
contest drew several
contestants.
Fittingly,
the prize for the most
prominent nose (with
a measurement of 2.8”)
was won by Mike Willick,
who is stepping down as
President of the Willick
Reunion Association after 20 years of devoted
service.
The youngest family
member in attendance at
the Reunion was Marley
Spiece, aged 9 months,
daughter of Angie Spiece.
The eldest in attendance
was Frances Repa, age
96, daughter of the late
Henry Willick. Frances
is the younger sibling of
Sister Carlotta Willick,
a prominent long-time
supporter of the Reunions. Sr. Carlotta is
now 98 years old. She
resides in Toronto and
was unable to make the
trip to Willoughby this
year.
The winner of the prize
for having a birthday
closest to our very first
Reunion day (July 9,
1978) was Billy Willick,
who celebrated his birthday July 8. The most recently married couple in
attendance was Michael
and Erin Parm.
They were married the
very day of the Reunion,
July 18, 2015! Michael
Parm is an offspring of
the Henry Willick line.
The person with the highest number of immediate
family members present
at the Reunion was Marg
Mateyk, age 92, who was
accompanied by six of
her children. Marg is the
daughter of the late Henry Willick. The award
for having traveled the
farthest to attend the Reunion was won by Chad
Willick of Nanaimo, B.C.
Chad is the son of Larry
Willick. This was Chad’s
first Willick Reunion,
and he was a most enthusiastic participant!
At the Family Meeting
which brought the day
to a close, Mike Willick
was lauded for his contributions to the success
of the 8 Willick Reunions
which have been held under his guidance.
Mike, in turn, expressed
appreciation
for the hard work and
dedication put forth by
the outgoing Committee
over the years. He also
thanked the new Reunion
Committee for stepping
up to the task. Plans are
already underway for the
next Reunion.
On Sunday, July 19, Fr.
Jim Willick celebrated
the Willick Family Reunion Mass at historic
St. Joseph’s church at
Snyder. Fr. Jim is a native of Willoughby Township. He was proud to
tell us that he was confirmed at St. Joseph’s,
was an altar boy there in
his formative years, and
it was there that he first
heard God calling him
to the priesthood. He is
now serving 5 Parishes in
P.E.I.
Willick family members assisted at the Mass
as readers, music ministers and altar servers.
The large congregation
joined in singing the traditional closing hymn,
“Rainbow of Relations”,
written to celebrate the
Willick heritage of family
and faith, by author and
poetess Dorthea Em Austin, also known as Elaine
Bayne, daughter of the
late Austin Hexemer and
Doris Willick. Doris was
from the Lewis Willick
branch of the family tree.
We look forward with
thanksgiving and joy, to
2018, when it will be 40
years since the very first
Willick Reunion was held
in Niagara Falls, in 1978.

Debden singer to
release debut album
Stephanie Rose from Debden has
been working on her debut CD,
Go Where the Wind Takes You,
for quite some time. She’s set to
launch it on Aug. 28.
Stephanie Rose from Debden, Sask. will
be having her CD release on Friday, Aug. 28,
2015 at 7:30 p.m. at the Morin Lake Regional
Park Reunion Grounds. She is excited to have
the band Misdeal accompanying her.
In 2013, at age 18, she entered a cross-Canada country music search, hosted by Global
Country: an organization committed to finding and developing country music artists in
Canada.
In May of that year, she travelled to Edmonton and found herself winning the Global
Country competition and it was there that
doors started to open for her career. Through
Global Country in 2014 she travelled to Nashville for the first time.
After taking in the sights and sounds of
Nashville and getting a tour of the music
business, she competed again but this time in
Pigeon Forge, Tennessee (home of Dolly Parton). She was awarded the title North American Country Music Assoc. International Vocalist of the Year and Entertainer of the Year
for her age category.
While in Nashville, she met producers,
RyLee Madison and Clay Krasner of 7-17
Music and they encouraged her to put all her
energies into writing and singing. Stephanie
went back home to Canada to work on her
craft. Singing at town fairs, clubs and music
festivals, she began the next step of writing
and releasing her first album.
“Being able to have such talented musicians like Randy Kohrs (dobro), Danny
Rader (plays a multitude of instruments and
tours with Keith Urban) and Steve Brewster
(drums) is so exciting,” said the young artist.
After a year of working with her producers,
Stephanie Rose is releasing her debut album
–Go Where the Wind Takes You.

OBITUARIES
~
John Kiszka
KISZKA - John, age 60,
passed away peacefully at
Royal University Hospital
in Saskatoon on August 10,
2015.
He was born on January 15,
1955 at Shellbrook Hospital
and grew up with his family
on the farm in the Marcelin/
Leask district. He attended
school in Leask until he left
home to find work and seek
his path in the world. Growing up on the farm, he willingly tended to many choresfeeding the cows, pigs and
chickens, cleaning barns,
fencing and working on the
tractor out in the fields. He
loved all animals and could
often be seen outside enjoying
the antics of the dogs, cats,
ducks and geese. He loved
cars and always took an interest in mechanical work; he
had a knack for fixing things.
A jack of all trades, he worked
a variety of jobs – farming,
road construction, building
renovations, tire repair and
mechanics. He enjoyed music,
playing cards and socializing
with his friends, especially
sharing a good cup of coffee;
he could often be found visiting at the coffee shop. He was
open and accepting of all people –as soon as he met you, he
considered you a friend. He
had a sensitive nature, and
was kind-hearted and generous; he was willing to share
even the last of whatever he
had. He deeply loved his family and friends, and always
asked about each one with a
reminder to “make sure and
say hi” to them. He took time
to come and stay at the farm
to help take care of his mother
and keep her company until
she was no longer able to remain at home. He struggled
much with difficulties and
disappointments and suffered
many health problems during
his last years, and though he
fought courageously, he was
unable to overcome them.
He will be lovingly remembered by his mother Mary
Kiszka of Leask, his brothers Joe Kiszka of Marcelin
and Rick (Debbie) Kiszka of
Parkside, his sister Lorraine
Kiszka of Leask, his nephew
Dale Kiszka of Shellbrook, his
niece Sheila Kiszka of Leask
and his niece Angela (Tim)
Aug and their children Devin
and Brendan of Shellbrook.
He was predeceased by his
father Joseph Kiszka and by
his grandparents Sam and
Polly Katelnikoff and Stefan
and Sophie Kiszka.
There will be a private family service for John. Those
wishing to leave condolences
may do so at www.eternalmemoriesfuneral.ca.
Arrangements have been
entrusted to Trevor Watts of
Eternal Memories Funeral
Service, Leask, SK.
Memorial Service will be

Betty Bruner
BRUNER (NEE: GRAY);
Betty Marlene September 29,
1943 – August 5, 2015
Betty passed peacefully
Wednesday, August 5, 2015
after an aggressive fight with
pancreatic cancer. She enjoyed her final days sharing
stories and laughs with many
friends and family at the Victoria Hospital. Betty was the
first born of three children
to the late Walter and Julia
Gray; the family resided on a
dairy farm just north of Shellbrook, SK. Dairy farming is
hard work, as is all farming;
and this is where Betty truly
learned the meaning of hard
work. She was actively involved in all aspects of the
farm from milking the cows,
to cutting hay and hauling
bales; she gathered eggs and
was involved in planting
and harvesting the garden.
One year at the Prince Albert Exhibition, Betty placed
first for the showing of her
calf; Walter, her Dad, was so
proud! And Betty today still
has the engraved silver plate
to prove it! Fun times on the
farm were had when cousins
came to visit, especially Allen
Wouters, lots of stories there.
Betty loved to swim in the
river; on hot days she’d bridle
the horses: Flicka & Blue for
her and Elaine to ride for a
dip and meet others. Once in
awhile brother Darryl would
ride side saddle to join the
fun; but if he didn’t follow the
rules the girls made Darryl
walk home. Well, brothers
never forget and when his
sisters went on dates, Darryl
would turn on the porch light
at just the right time, so no
smooching for you! Siblings!
Betty loved to play baseball,
enjoyed music and dancing,
and just having a good laugh
with friends and family. Betty married Harry Bruner;
and together they had one
child, Wendy. Years later
they divorced but always remained in touch. Betty is
well known in PA for her 30+
years with Safeway; where
many shoppers I’m sure received groceries through her
checkout while catching up
on chitchat. After retiring
from Safeway, Betty learned

to drive a school bus and soon
became a favorite amongst
the kids; maybe because she
brought treats but either way
she thoroughly enjoyed them
too. She was even known to
stop the bus and say, “Betty
says sit down!” Or honk as she
passed homes of close friends
on her route. Over the years,
Betty became involved as the
Union Rep for Safeway and
actively involved with RWDSU. She was very proud of
her many union accomplishments especially the “Most
Available Hours Clause”
passed for herself and others
to follow. Betty also enjoyed
cooking and especially baking for friends...ah her cookies, poppycock, shortbread
and fruit cake will be missed
by many. Hope you got the
recipe! She was never shy
to help either: making pierogies with her fellow Safeway
Crew is just one of their many
good works. She loved quilting and was also a member
of the Prince Albert Quilt
Guild. Betty was a pet sitter too as she loved animals;
even to the point where she
had a separate key ring for
those homes she regularly
visited. She continued in her
egg gathering abilities from
the early days and delivered
farm eggs from Parkside to
friends in PA; last I heard
she was delivering six flats.
Betty was just a phone call
away; she would always help
and her number one priority was friends. At all hours
she would chat on the phone
or would commence the day
planning her next coffee
break; she so loved going for
coffee or ice cream or even
just for a drive! Well Betty
you touched so many; you’ll
be missed and you certainly
earned those wings!
Left to cherish her memory
is her daughter, Wendy (Dave)
Skinner and grandsons: Reid
and Maxwell Skinner; her
sister, Elaine Halvorson; her
brother, Darryl (Janet) Gray
and all her aunts, uncles
and cousins, especially Allen
Wouters. Although divorced,
Harry Bruner, will also cherish her and their good times
together. As well as her many
friends, too numerous to
mention.
Betty was predeceased by
both parents: Walter and Julia Gray and other relatives.

Shellbrook Chronicle 15
No argument Rousey most dominant athlete
No matter how many grand slam tennis
titles Serena Williams wins, no matter how
many major championships Inbee Park wins
on the Ladies Professional Golfers Association tour, there is no more dominant female
athlete in the world today than UFC champion Ronda Rousey.
Tougher than a $2 steak and prettier than
a swimsuit model (a pastime which, incidentally, she has dabbled in), Rousey is a
Californian who has many opponents, but
no real competitors. There is no such thing
as ‘competition’ when Rousey and a victim
get into a ring during an Ultimate Fighting
Championship event.
In the past 18 months, Rousey — owner of
a 12-0 record as a pro — has had four bouts
and only one went past one minute before
her opponent was either ‘arm-barred’ into
submission or KOd. Either way, the victories
have been decisive, dominant. The lengthiest of those four bouts went 66 seconds. Her
other three victories lasted 16 seconds, 14
seconds and, two weeks ago, 34 seconds over
Bethe Correia in Brazil.
Sports Illustrated put Rousey on the cover
in May, headlining the magazine with “Ronda Rousey is the world’s most dominant athlete.”
It didn’t differentiate by gender by referring to ‘female athlete’. Just ‘athlete’.
Williams wins the majority of women’s
pro tennis events, and Park has won seven
major golf titles in
the last three years,
but at least when they
compete, others have
a chance to win. Unlike Rousey, who has
no peer. Her most
famous victory move
is the ‘armbar, which
she described to
Sports Illustrated as
BRUCE
“like pulling a drumPENTON
stick off a Thanksgiv~
ing turkey.” It’s legal,
it’s painful, it’s always
decisive.
Rousey won an Olympic bronze medal in
judo in 2008, but her career has been nothing but gold-plated since. She’s unbeatable
and yes, she’s undoubtedly the world’s most
dominant female athlete. Wanna argue with
her over that?
Late-night funnyman Conan O’Brien:
“UFC Champion Ronda Rousey will be the
next model for Carl’s Jr. Carl’s Jr. chose
Rousey because she also knows what it’s like
to damage someone’s organs in less than 30
seconds.”
Comedy writer Terry Etter: “Have you seen
the Aspen Dental commercial where Danica
Patrick tells the dental technician they have
a lot in common? Yeah, the dental technician
has never won a NASCAR race either.”
National Football League training camps
are finally in full swing and “as usual,”
cracked NBC’s Seth Meyers, “the New England Patriots camp began with the ceremonial burning of the rule book.”
• Reader “The Rajah,” to the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, on the biggest drawback to the
Browns’ variable ticket-pricing policy: “The
fact that one of the two teams will still be the
Browns.”
• Comedian Argus Hamilton, on Pats QB
Tom Brady destroying his cellphone and all
the messages in it: “He did this on the advice
of his attorney, Tiger Woods.”
Brad Rock of the Salt Lake City Deseret
Sun, after Massachusetts newlyweds delayed their honeymoon until Tom Brady’s
Deflategate case is resolved: “Here’s hoping
they aren’t waiting to start a family until
Aaron Hernandez gets out of prison.”
Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, on Jose
Fernandez’s 15-0 all-time record at home
and having his next start during the Marlin’s
‘Bark in the Park’ night: “Opponents haven’t
bothered or derailed Jose at home. Let’s see
if a bunch of yapping dogs can.”
Another one from Cote: “Dolphin Cam
Wake posed with an uncaged tiger in Thailand. ‘That was intimidating,’ said the tiger.”
Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “I hereby nominate Rickie Fowler for the
Golf Hall of Fame. And this has nothing to
do with Fowler shooting an ace and sending
a bucket of cold beer to the press tent.”
Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “‘Camp David”’ a play about President
Jimmy Carter, is coming to Broadway. Of
course, President Obama’s life story will be
told on the Golf Channel.”
Comedy writer Gary Bachman: “1980 U.S.
hockey hero, Jim Craig, is selling flag, gold
medal, jersey for $5.7M. He should post
them on ‘Craigslist.’”
• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Talk
about painful to watch at times: This year’s
squad puts the S&M in Seattle Mariners.”
Blogger TC Chong: “NY Mets shortstop
Wilmer Flores was shown on TV crying after they told him he had been traded. The
deal fell through but Tom Hanks still said
he wanted to have a few words with young
Wilmer.”
Jimmy Fallon of NBC’s Tonight Show:
“The International Olympic Committee
is officially recognizing ultimate Frisbee,
which means it might actually be in the next
Olympics. They say ultimate Frisbee will be
the first Olympic sport where athletes are
disqualified for NOT testing positive for
drugs.”
Fallon again: “Happy birthday to Tom
Brady, who turned 38 years old today. He had
a great party, but it got weird when someone
caught him letting air out of the balloons.”

Senior’s tourney comes down to final holes
An older crowd of golf lovers were able to take advantage of
the summery weather last week, when they took to the green
on Aug. 12 to compete in a Senior’s Tournament at the Hidden
Hills of Shellbrook Golf Course.
It’s been a busy spring and summer, as milder temperatures
allowed golfers to tee off earlier. Last Wednesday’s Senior’s
Tournament, which included 71 golfers, was no less busy.
But although 71 golfers showed up, only one team of four
was allowed to take home the glory. And in this showdown
between seasoned veterans of the green, the winner wasn’t
decided until the final holes, and even then only three points
separated the first and fourth place finishers.
Coming out on top at this event was the team of Gary Holbrook, Jerry Bighead, Sharon Daniels and Wayne Bazley, who
managed to shoot a 65 on the day. Meanwhile, Doug Herrick,
Harry Cook, Rosie Cookie and Ron Hollowell finished a close
second after shooting a 67.
Tied for third place after shooting a 68 on the day, were the
teams of Art Young, Larry Ritchie, Diane Dreaver and Ron
Cripps, and Connie Blake, Herb Goldhawk, Frank Musaska-
poe and Elton Kydd.
There’s been no shortage of events to compete in this year,
as junior golfers, senior golfers and even merchants from
Shellbrook and the surrounding area have had opportunities
to triumph in tournaments of their own. Men’s and Ladies’
night events have also been well attended.
But although golfers are undoubtedly still teeing off at the
golf course, the onset of chillier temperatures and the rapid
approach of fall means that things are beginning to wind
down as far as tournaments go.
Golf course manager Larry Ritchie says the next couple of
weeks will be fairly quiet for Hidden Hills. But he added that
the golf course will be hosting the annual Big Hole Tournament, sponsored by Shellbrook Bigway, on Aug. 29.

RM of Leask draws ire for work done in Parkside area
While May and June left much of the
province thirsty for rain, July and August
have left them praying for sunshine. Once
a welcome relief from the dry heat, the
regular torrential downpours have become
problematic for rural municipalities in the
province, who have had to shore up back
roads against the high water levels.
According to reports from concerned citizens, the RM of Leask has recently drawn
the ire of ratepayers, after old grave covers
and headstones were used to help hold back
water on a rural road in the Parkside area.
The road in question is located a few
kilometres east of Honeywood Heritage
Nursery. After taking a weekend trip to investigate the matter, the Chronicle discovered that names of the deceased are, in fact,
clearly visible on some of the stones.
During a brief phone interview with RM
of Leask Reeve Jim Joanette, Joanette explained that the stones were placed two or
three weeks ago. Though the RM has received a number of calls about the issued,
he said he hasn’t had a chance to look at the
road yet.
He also said that he was told that crews
had cut the headstones off, and used only
grave covers to hold back the water. He
added that the use of headstones is “not
common practice,” and that the RM has
been made aware of the issue, and is striving to fix it.
“It did come to our table and we discussed
it. We’re working with conservation and
[the Ministry of] Environment together to
solve this problem,” he said.
Currently, however, work to fix the problem is on hold, as the RM waits to receive
information from the Ministry of Environment about how the situation is to be
handled. In particular, concerns have been
raised about potential disruptions to wildlife and their habitats.
Joanette was unable to offer any further
17
information on what the solution might entail.
“The way I feel and the way it’s going to
happen might be two different things,” he
said.
He added that the RM is looking to install
a culvert along the road in question, and is
hoping to have to move equipment in and
out as few times as possible.
Court adjourned again, as legal
battle intensifies
The court battle between
the RM of Shellbrook and Division 4 councillor Lyle Muller
continued Tuesday morning
at the Court of Queen’s Bench
in Prince Albert.
The Rural Municipality
continues to pursue Muller’s
disqualification from council,
on the grounds that he violated regulations around declaring pecuniary interest..
Representing the RM, Neil
Raas of Zatlyn Office began
the proceedings. Raas ex-
plained that, at the prior hearing on July 28, the RM had
been given inadequate time to
reply to an affidavit submitted
by Muller’s lawyers, leading to
a three-week adjournment.
He added that he had underestimated the amount of
time and resources needed to
reply to the document, and
apply for portions of it to be
struck from the record on the
grounds that they’re “hearsay”
and “opinion.”
Raas concluded by requesting that the presiding judge,
justice M. D. Acton, allow the
case to be adjourned until
Sept. 1.
Speaking on behalf of
Muller, Ryan Lavoie of Sawchuk Lavoie Stonechild voiced
opposition to the motion to
adjourn, arguing that the
court allows five days for a reply to be issued to an affidavit,
and the RM’s lawyers had now
had three weeks. He added
that it would be in Muller’s
best interest to having the
hearing proceed.
Justice Acton sided with the
RM in this matter, setting the
next court date for Tuesday,
Sept. 1.
Though the issue was not
raised during Tuesday’s hearing, documents submitted to
the Chronicle by Muller reveal
that the legal battle between
him and the RM continues to
get increasingly convoluted.
Beyond the current case to
have Muller removed from
council for alleged violations
of the Municipalities act,
Muller is also suing the RM,
RM councillor Sean Helm,
and David and Lorinda Helm.
As previously reported, he
is seeking redress in the sum

rented by Sean Helm.
Bachelor
of Arts
degrees
But Muller and his lawyers
have now also filed paperwork
with the courts to have Reeve
Bob Ernst and Sean Helm removed from the RM council,
on the grounds that they, too,
have been in conflict of interest on a number of occasions.
In an affidavit sent to the
Chronicle by Muller, he alleges that reeve Bob Ernst
failed to declare his interest
when a motion was passed to
forgive a $500 voluntary fine
owed by his cousin Gerald
Ernst.
Documents obtained by the
Chronicle bring these allegations into question. Adopted
minutes of council’s June
5, 2013 meeting, show that
council carried a motion ordering Gerald Ernst to pay his
fine by June 30. Additionally,
a ledger shows that the RM received payment for the fine on
Dec. 31, 2013.
Muller further claims that
Sean Helm failed to declare
interest when the culvert in
question was being discussed,
and that he knew he stood to
benefit from its installation, as
he would have more land on
which to farm.
He also alleges that Helm
failed to declare interest in
matters related to complaints
from ratepayers about him illegally trenching an RM road,
and causing flooding on their
land.
As of Wednesday morning,
no further updates on these
other legal matters were available.

Province mulls changes to farmland ownership following
end of public consultation
It’s been nearly three months since the Saskatchewan
government launched a public consultation process
around issues of farmland ownership in the province.
Now, with about 3,200 online survey responses to go
through, agriculture minister Lyle Stewart says the government has a “blank slate” as it considers changing
rules that prohibit institutional investors from purchasing farmland, and limit foreign ownership to four hectares.
Speaking last week, Stewart made it clear that the government wouldn’t reverse a 2002 decision that opened
ownership up to all Canadians.
“We’re not going to go back to the days when only Saskatchewan farmers could own farmland,” Stewart said.
“We think Canadians should be eligible to own farmland.”
The launch of the public consultation process was both
preceded and followed by intense and debate from farmers on all sides of the issue. The National Farmers Union,
which submitted its own response to the consultation,
1.29%
financing for
upto 72 months
called for changes that would permit only Saskatchewan
residents or Saskatchewan owned farming corporations
to own farmland.
Meanwhile, the Agriculture Producers Association of
Saskatchewan said it would like to see ownership opened
up to all Canadians, and only to foreign investors with
intentions to farm the land.
Some farmers, meanwhile, would rather see farm ownership opened up to all buyers.
“If it was a true consultation process, [Stewart]
wouldn’t have already stopped the Canada Pension Plan
from buying some more land. He would have waited
until the consultation process was over before deciding
what he was going to do,” said Jim Zinkhan, a Regina
area farmer, after the consultation was announced.
“I believe anybody should be able to buy it. Foreigners,
institutional buyers, anybody,” he added, calling restrictions on the market “discrimination against farmers.”
The public consultation process was launched in May
in response to concerns about Saskatchewan farmland

increasingly falling into the hands of foreign investors.
“We’ve had a substantial number of countries that have
either attempted to purchase farmland in Saskatchewan
or possibly have — by illegal means I would say under the
act as it exists — attained an interest in farmland,” said
Stewart, when he announced the launch of the process.
The consultation came after the province imposed a
moratorium on the purchase of farmland by non-family
trusts and pension plans (a move that was prompted by
a proposed farmland investment by the Canada Pension
Plan’s Investment Board).
It was conducted through online written submissions,
which Stewart said were chosen to allow greater freedom
of debate. No public hearings were held during the three
month period.
Stewart said the survey results will be made public in
the coming weeks, with the government’s decision to follow in the weeks after.
“If any changes are to be made, which is not a given,
we’ll make it very clear on where we fall,” said Stewart.
