April 2016 RM Review

Jim Reiter was first

elected as the MLA

for Rosetown-Elrose

in the 2007 provincial

election and was re-

elected in 2011.

"After years of watching

our youth move to Al-

berta, I wanted to help

turn the province

around," he says of his de-

cision to run for the

Saskatchewan Party. "As

an MLA, I appreciate

meeting people from all

walks of life and being

able to serve as a Minis-

ter."

Professionally, Jim has

extensive experience in

municipal governance. He

was the long-time admin-

istrator for the Rural Mu-

nicipalities of Marriott

and Pleasant Valley and

has served as Director,

Vice-President, and Presi-

dent of the Rural Munici-

pal Administrators'

Association (RMAA), as

well as Executive Direc-

tor.

Jim was also a Director

on the Board of the

Saskatchewan Associa-

tion of Rural Municipali-

ties (SARM) from 1998 to

2003. He represented

SARM on various commit-

tees including: Audit

Committee, Wilkinson

Foundation, Lt. Gover-

nor's Award Committee,

and the Municipal/Provin-

cial Roundtable.

Jim has also served as

Chairman of the Munici-

pal Employees' Pension

Plan.

Among his educational ac-

complishments is a Senior

Certificate in Local Gov-

ernment Administration

from the University of

Regina. He also served six

years on the U of R Sen-

ate. Jim has served his

community as a Justice of

the Peace and Marriage

Commissioner.

Following the formation

of a Saskatchewan Party

government, Premier

Brad Wall asked Jim to

serve as the Legislative

Secretary to the Minister

of Education with specific

responsibility for the

Property Tax Initiative.

His report formed the

basis for the largest edu-

cation property tax cut in

a single year in the

province's history.

Until 2012, Jim served as

the Minister of Highways

and Infrastructure and

the Minister responsible

for Saskatchewan Trans-

portation Company at

which time Premier Brad

Wall appointed him Min-

ister of Government Rela-

tions and Minister

Responsible for First Na-

tions, Métis and Northern

Affairs.

In 2014, Reiter picked up

the added responsibility

for SaskEnergy as part of

his portfolio as Minister

for Government Relations

and Minister responsible

for First Nations, Metis

and Northern Affairs.

Then, in June 2015, his

portfolio expanded once

again when he was given

the further role of Minis-

ter responsible for

Saskatchewan Telecom-

munications. He also

served as a member on

the Board of Internal

Economy.

Jim and his wife Bonnie

reside in Rosetown.

The RM Review “Your COMMUNITY, Your NEWSPAPER” www.rmreview.net

When Saskatchewan wants a Wall, we elect one. When the Americans

want a wall, they hire Donald Trump to build that wall: and can you

guess who’s going to pay for it ? That’s right... Mexico.

We all learnt about the American revolution in history class years ago, but

now we can watch, live on TV, the second American revolution... and I won-

der what it is finally going look like...

Will they all ‘feel the burn’ and go with Bernie Sanders the “Socialist” who

wants to see education and health care provided to every one of his fellow citi-

zens in the greatest nation on earth (what sort of a madman is this guy ?)...

Maybe they will make us all feel an even nastier burn when they fly to close

to the sun and elect Donald Trump who exploits the raw, ugly, arrogant,

racist underbelly of Americans, (not that we’re perfect ourselves) and pro-

motes it as the way to make themselves great, again, freaking out every other

government on the planet in the process.

Perhaps they are just gonna pass on the whole revolution idea and slap an-

other Clinton behind the desk in the Oval Office (hey, don’t read any Bill

Clinton sexual relations joke into that). No way they elect Ted Cruz.

So Hilary can just continue climbing out of a financial crisis, improving indi-

vidual rights and opportunities at home and around the world, tearing down

walls, as they have been doing for decades, in spite of themselves ?

This would seem to be the rational path, and similar to the one we took in our

recent provincial election, but we are certainly in for some fun fall tv.

Chuck Boldis of Asquith,

along with his wife Shan-

non, daughters Aelia and

Haelynn, son Ares, and is mother

Diana, who is a niece of hockey

legend Gordie Howe, wanted to

help raise money for the Asquith

Arena, where their son Ares now

plays hockey.

Diana contacted Gordie Howe’s

family to see if Gordie would

want to autograph a jersey that

they would then donate to the

arena, to be raffled off in a

fundraiser. Gordie did not hesi-

tate to help out. The only thing

Howe’s family asked for in return

was a thank you video from the

Boldis’s, that they could show to

Gordie.

Gordie sent out the jersey and

the Boldis kids produced a video.

Chuck is having the jersey pro-

fessionally framed and the

Asquith arena committee is in

the process of obtaining the lot-

tery license for the raffle that

they expect to be running this fall

when hockey season gets started.

RM Review 3April 2016www.rmreview.net

The chaos in Brussels has put the

whole ISIS situation on a different

level. What was mainly a Middle

East confrontation with a little nuisance

from misguided terrorists in the Western

World to a full scale confrontation with

the upstart extremists around the world.

The response that the Western nations

make will determine who wins this war.

The attacks in Belgium and based in

Belgium but carried out elsewhere have

shown how difficult it is to battle dedi-

cated underground forces, particularly

when death is not a consideration for ei-

ther the perpetrators or the target popu-

lations. The result so far has clearly

been a success for the terrorists who

reached their objectives. What is more,

the very structure of the European gov-

ernment is at risk as governments panic

in their efforts to protect their citizens.

Score one for the terrorists.

Outside of Europe there seems to be a

better record of seeking out and control-

ling potential terrorists, however one is

suspicious that success is partly because

it is more difficult geographically to at-

tack North America. We seem to have

the organization in place to forestall any

home-grown terrorists but we are woe-

fully short of manpower to track every

potential Islamic extremist.

Just one attack in the US or Canada on

the scale of the ones in Brussels or Paris

would soon put a more urgent response

in our anti-terrorism agenda. It is not

all clear that we are winning interna-

tionally against a rag-tag force in the

Middle East even though there are suc-

cesses on the ground.

TOWN OF ASQUITH

Asquith Town Council held its regular

council meeting on March 9, 2016. At-

tending were Mayor Gail Erhart,

Councillors Sue Sawicki, Ross Beal, Leen

Van Marion, Don Lysyshyn, Forman Kraft

and C.A.O. Cross.

A motion was made to accept the February

10, 2016 regular council meeting minutes as

presented. The February financial state-

ments and the January bank reconciliations

were accepted as presented.

A resolution was made to accept the accounts

paid in the amount of $17,051.79 and ac-

counts payable in the amount of $15,118.55

as presented.

Jensen Stromberg was out to audit the 2015

books. Once the financial statement has

been approved by Council, a statement of the

Town's financial position will be published in

the RM Review and will be available for the

public to peruse.

Councillor Van Marion will be attending a

Human Resources Workshop in Saskatoon on

April 19, 2016.

The Province of Saskatchewan has set the

education mill rates for 2016 and they re-

main unchanged from last year. They are as

follows: Agricultural Property 2.67 mills,

Residential Property 5.03 mills, Commer-

cial/Industrial Property 8.28 mills, Resource

(oil, gas, mines, pipelines) 11.04 mills.

The Town of Asquith has ordered some new

town pins.

The meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m. The

next regular council meeting will be held on

April 13, 2016.

With Spring here, the Town office would like

to bring to the attention of all dog owners

how important it is to be responsible pet

owners and good neighbors. Please pick up

all dog feces that may have been deposited in

your yard over the winter months. As well,

when walking your dogs do not let them go

onto others’ properties to defecate or relieve

themselves. Always carry bags in which to

pick up and carry the "deposit" so your neigh-

bors do not have to do so. Pet ownership is a

privilege; it is not something that your neigh-

bors have to share in.

Happy Spring!!

TOWN OF DELISLE

Council held a regular meeting March

8th, 2016.

The town will enter into a five year contract

with Connect Energy for the supply of natu-

ral gas at a price of no more than $3.96/giga-

joule.

A formal agreement will be made with the

Delisle Veterinary Clinic for the provision of

animal pound services and the recovery of

those costs.

Council will allow for a house to be moved on

to Lot 6, Block 3, Plan S6147 in accordance

with the inspection report prepared by our

residential building inspector.

Saturday, May 14th "Garage Sale Day" in

Delisle.

Residents interested in having a garage sale

are encouraged to use this date. For a fee of

$2.00, your civic address and/or name will be

listed in the next newsletter, your garage

sale will be placed on a map for public distri-

bution.

To register for the Garage Sale visit the

Town Office by no later than Thursday, April

28th.

RM OF VANSCOY

Spring has come and with the changing

season comes some personnel changes

within the RM.

Denise Ward has left the RM after many

years of service. She has seen a lot of changes

in the last year and decided she needed to

move on as well. Her experience and level of

professionalism will be dearly missed.

We have hired Heather Fantie McBain to fill

the role.

Due to inconsistencies council did not renew

the contract with Robert Weir as the dump

manager at Pike Lake. Marg has agreed to

manage both dumps within the RM. The nor-

mal hours of operation will resume April 1st,

we hope. The times will be posted.

Marg has encountered a bit of resistance to

some patrons of the dump. I know that in the

past people have said the "gene pool" in the

area has been rather small. That may be the

case but if you can drive to the dump ,you

can read, you can see the various dump bins

and you can be polite. She is an employee of

the RM and deserves the respect any em-

ployee of any company should get. Individu-

als who behave in this manner just make the

rest of us look bad.

The tag and permit fees are to be honoured.

The patrons outside of the RM are not

ratepayers and therefore are required to pay

dump fees. These include the people in RM of

Montrose, Pike Lake Provincial Park and the

people of Saskatoon who are using the dump.

She needs your name so she can give out a

receipt so YOU know the money is not just

going into her pocket.

Council has decided to cancel the annual

Spring Ratepayers Dinner due to the recent

unusually large volume of staff changes.

Road bans are in place and Constable Mc-

Cracken is out enforcing the weights. Please

help to protect our roads but if you do need

an exemption contact the office and maybe

an arrangement can be made between Scott

and Constable McCracken.

The crew will be out maintaining the roads

soon but if you encounter a problem please

contact the office so they can address it.

Councillor James Harvey

VILLAGE OF VANSCOY

Read a NewRCMP Report Every Week at

www.rmreview.netRCMP REPORT

This month I would like to talk about several traf-

fic issues which could affect motorists traveling

within the Rural Municipality of Vanscoy, and

the related traffic laws which apply to each of these sit-

uations. The topics, which I am going to touch upon,

this month are either current issues affecting motor

traffic within our municipality, or are related to com-

mon questions that I am frequently asked about in re-

lation to traffic laws and traffic safety concerns.

The first issue is one which is foremost in

many of our ratepayers’ minds right now, and that is

Spring Road Bans. These road bans went into effect for

several designated roads in the RM of Vanscoy last

week, and although we haven’t officially reached spring

yet, on some days the weather has felt that way. The

associated roads which are affected by the weather and

have road bans enacted think so too, and as a result of

the soft wet conditions these roads aren’t able to with-

stand heavy loads traveling on them right now.

The primary and secondary winter weights have come

off all of the roads within the RM of Vanscoy now and

all roads, even the ones that are not posted with road

ban designations, are affected in some manner. The

more affected roads, the ones that have been desig-

nated by the RM of Vanscoy Reeve and Council, have

been marked with the large Pennco portable signs,

and/or the Municipality’s own temporary signage.

These are the roads which have been designated as

ones which are at greatest risk of damage by over

weight vehicle travel at this time of year. These are

what are referred to as ‘Road Bans’.

Now that we all understand what a road ban is, and

have been designated with road ban weight restric-

tions, within the RM of Vanscoy, what is the desig-

nated weight for travel on these roads? As the signs

clearly point out vehicles traveling on these roads can-

not exceed 10,000 lbs (4500 kg) in total vehicle weight.

This includes vehicle contents, and trailer weight as

the case may be. The applicable roads designated

under the present ‘Road Bans’, in the RM of Vanscoy,

are as follows:

SPRING ROAD BANS• Knight Road (Range Rd 3072) from Township

(Twp) Rd 364 to Highway 7

• Livestock Sales Rd (Range Rd 3071) from Twp

Rd 370 to Twp Rd 364

• Range Rd 3073 from Twp Rd 352 to Twp Rd 350

• Range Rd 3075 from Highway 14 to Hwy 7

• Twp Rd 343 to Range Rd 3100 to Range Rd 3093

The RM of Vanscoy asks all motorists traveling within

the RM to be cognizant of their vehicle weights and to

please abide by the temporary seasonal road bans and

secondary weight restrictions which are in affect.

The second matter, that often presents itself

within my policing duties, and one which I am continu-

ally surprised by, is the lack of knowledge by some mo-

torists of the speed limits on the RM Township and

Range Roads. Unless, otherwise posted the legal speed

on any rural municipal road, those outside of a Town,

Hamlet, or Village is 80km. If you are driving on a

rural gravel road anywhere within the Province I

would suggest this rule applies. It also applies to some

hard top (paved) roads, which are not posted, meaning

there is no associated speed limit signs located along

that roadway.

In the RM of Vanscoy most, if not all of our roads that

are paved are ‘posted. (ie; they are marked with speed

limit signs). There are several paved roads within the

RM that come to mind; the Vanscoy to Pike Lake paved

roadway, Township Road 352 is a common one, so to is

the Grandora to Vanscoy Range Rd 3075 section of

pavement (between highways 14 and 7), the Asquith to

Delisle paved Township Road 3093 is another one, as is

the 11th street extension, Township road 364, which is

a paved roadway that runs west from Saskatoon paral-

lel to highway 14.

All of these noted paved municipal roads are posted

with speed limit signs within the RM of Vanscoy. How-

ever, the speed limit misconception still frequently oc-

curs when I am discussing the speed limit with a

motorist who was using one of these roads. The speed

limit on these roads is posted at 80km. If, you happen

to not see the posted speed limit signs while driving on

these roads, and are uncertain to that allowed speed

limit, I suggest you refer back to my earlier comment

about speed limits on rural Municipal Roads, the ones

that are not posted, where I mentioned the speed limit

is always 80km. If you stick with that rule you aren’t

likely to see flashing red lights behind you.

Finally, did you know that it is illegal to

smoke tobacco products inside a motor vehicle, while it

is being operated on a public highway in Saskatchewan

while there are children under the age of sixteen inside

the vehicle? Well it is, and it is also a very serious

health concern which is the main reason why the Fed-

eral Government, in conjunction with each Province

and Territory in Canada, has enacted a similar type of

traffic safety legislation. In Saskatchewan this law

came into effect on October, 1, 2010.

Until next month I ask you to please drive safely and

continue to adhere to the rules of the road, especially,

those traffic laws which protect the health of our roads,

as well as the persons that are occupying your vehicle.

RM Review6 April 2016 www.rmreview.net

By the time you read this bit of news from our school,

we will be starting our final leg of the academic school

year! The generosity of the families in our school and

community just keeps staying strong as is evident in

the support of our recent Scholastic Monster Book Fair!

The book fair accumulated $1500.00 in sales which re-

sulted in over $750.00 worth of Scholastic books for our

school library! Wow! It is so wonderful to see the big

smiles on the students’ faces when they get to choose

and own a book of their own! Supporting this book fair

also reinforces literacy in a big way! Thanks to every-

one who supported our annual fundraiser for our li-

brary!

Now that the book fair is completed, we have begun

with the renovations and renewing of our library space.

The plans will be minimal in cost but expansive in the

appeal and usage of the reading resources we have

available to the students and teachers alike. Watch for

updates as we progress through the transition!

In March, our leprechaun friendly traps were set, with

the hopes of being able to chat with a good luck fellow

and possibly having him share some of his gold! To our

surprise, on St. Patrick’s Day morning, we discovered

the Kindergarten room was closed and we could hear

Irish tunes being played beyond the locked door! Once

we were able to get in the room, we were amazed that

the traps were empty and there was total disorder and

chaos in the room! The tricky and elusive imps left be-

hind a mess, but they also left us some treasures and

even made wonderful cupcakes for everyone in the

school! Thanks to Mrs. Robertson and her helpful

Kindergarten students for once again trying to catch

the sprites and their gold! Maybe next year we will be

lucky!

One dreary morning in March, we boogied our morning

away to the original tunes sung by local artist, Sylvia

Chave! Singing with Sylvia concerts are always such a

fun and energetic time and this was no exception! For

those who experienced her singing and entertaining

abilities for the first time here, were amazed at her tal-

ents! If you missed this opportunity, there is still a

chance to get in on her “A-May-Zing Fling” at the Re-

finery. You can get tickets online at

www.ontheboards.ca or by calling 306-653-5191! We

know you won’t be disappointed at all and will come

out smiling as big the sun!

Progress reports were handed out and interviews took

place just prior to the Easter break! We would like to

thank all the parents for taking the time to speak with

their child’s teacher about the successes of their chil-

dren. When a parent attends an interview, the child

understands that their parents are interested in

his/her learning, in their school experience and that it

is valued. Interviews are always highly regarded as a

great opportunity for parents, teachers and students to

continue to work as a team!

We hope everyone had a wonderful break at Easter and

have returned refreshed and renewed – just like the

promise of spring!

Here is a list of upcoming events for our school:

April 4 – Classes return

April 6 – Grade 3/4 visits Gardenscape

April 11 – SCC Spring Meeting

April 14 – Broadway Theatre Performance

April 21 – Earth Day Activities

- Morning Snack provided

April 25 – NO SCHOOL Prep day

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOLPIKE LAKE SCHOOL

Here we are, more than halfway through March...time

seems to keep ticking faster and faster! March was a

month of parties for the preschool. We celebrated St.

Patrick's Day with green snacks, crafts, and clothing,

as well as some shamrock and green balloon games.

Our Easter party will be a lot of fun since the 3's and

4's will be celebrating together. Hopefully the Easter

Bunny makes an appearance (or at least leaves some

candy for the kids).

The 4-year olds explored a theme about transportation.

They made trains, hot air balloons, and their favourite,

boats. They made their boats using a variety of craft

materials then we put them in water to see if they

would float. The students did a great job of choosing

the right materials be-

cause all of the boats floated!

Both classes learned about the number 7 through

crafts, games, and snacks. The 3's made a flower with 7

petals (perfect for the weather we've enjoyed this

month) and the 4's got some scissors practice cutting

out a 7 and gluing on 7 items. The 4's will also learn

about spring next week, and hopefully the weather co-

operates!

I am writing this before the Easter break so as of now,

I don't know what April will bring besides our regular

number and colour days. Some options include the 5

senses, habitats, or

science experiments. I will let you know next month

what we did.

Happy Easter and let's hope that spring is truly here!

The School Community Council (SCC) is a primary

link between the home, community and school.

Prairie Spirit believes that involvement with

School Community Councils is a rewarding and mean-

ingful activity for parent and community members.

The purpose of School Community Councils is to:

• Support student learning success and well-being;

and,

• Encourage parent and community involvement and

engagement in the school.

School Community Councils provide mechanisms for

parents and community members to support and influ-

ence the work of the school and to channel advice to the

Board of Education and others. The focus of the SCC is

student learning and well-being. The challenge for the

SCC is to engage the parents and community with the

school in a meaningful partnership that supports their

shared responsibility.

School Community Council responsibilities

Councils are accountable to their community. Respon-

sibilities of the Council include:

• Understanding their community;

• Supporting parent and community involvement in

the school;

• Advising the Board and school as outlined in the

Board of Education School Community Council Policy;

• Working with the School to develop, support and pro-

vide advice to the Learning Improvement Plan;

• Helping parents find ways to support their children’s

learning;

• Reviewing extra-curricular school activities approved

by the principal and Student Council members;

• Advising and approving fundraising activities in the

school; and

• Reviewing student fees to ensure alignment with

Board of Education directions.

Council member responsibilities

Your role as a Council member is to build shared re-

sponsibility among parents, the community and school

for student learning and well-being. In addition, your

role is to lead parent and community involvement in

school planning and improvement.

The term of office for Representative Parent and Com-

munity Members is two (2) years with no limit on the

number of consecutive terms that may be served.

As a Council member you might expect to...

• Attend meetings from September to June as deter-

mined by the Council calendar;

• Engage in the work of the Council such as:

o Supporting and advising the development of the

Learning Improvement Plan with the staff of the

school;

o Developing, leading and taking action on Council ini-

tiatives to help families support their children’s learn-

ing;

o Providing advice to the school, Board of Education

and other community organizations and agencies, as

outlined in Board of Education policy;

o Providing advice for school fundraising activities,

school fees and the student code of conduct;

o Reporting to parents and community on Council

progress; and,

o Working with other Council members to learn more

about the role of the Council and how to fulfill its re-

sponsibilities.

In order to run for election to your local SCC, you must

ive in the school attendance area or be a parent of a

student in the school. Contact your school’s principal or

Prairie Sprit School Division for more details.

Farmers are faced

daily with making

many decisions

about their farming oper-

ation. Farmers don’t al-

ways have accurate

information available to

them at the time of deci-

sion, nor can they predict

with 100 per cent accu-

racy, factors that can af-

fect the decision. The

uncertainty of the out-

come is known as risk.

Risk can be mitigated by

having a risk manage-

ment strategy.

Risk management is the

process of identifying,

evaluating and under-

standing risk in a way

that helps a person

achieve the goals of their

operation. It is designed

to reduce or eliminate the

risk of certain kinds of

events from happening or

having an undesirable im-

pact.

The first step in the risk

management process is to

assess one’s personal tol-

erance of risk. Different

individuals have different

levels of tolerance when

dealing with risk. One can

be risk adverse, risk neu-

tral or a risk taker. Farm

managers make better de-

cisions when they recog-

nize their attitudes

towards risk and take

them into account when

choosing actions. The

next steps are the identi-

fication, assessment and

prioritization of risks.

Begin by identifying risks

in your operation that

need to be managed.

There are many different

types of risks a farming

operation can be exposed

to. Next, assess the risks

that have been identified.

An assessment should be

made on the frequency

and magnitude of the

risk. How often do you

have to manage these

types of risk and how se-

vere are the potential con-

sequences if not properly

managed. Risks then

need to be prioritized.

When prioritizing risk,

one thing to consider is

how prepared the opera-

tion is to manage the risk.

One method of assessing

and prioritizing risk is to

create a table and rate

each risk based on fre-

quency, magnitude and

preparedness. Each risk

would be assigned a value

on a scale of one to five for

frequency and magnitude.

Once frequency and mag-

nitude values have been

assigned, calculate the de-

gree of risk for each iden-

tified risk. The degree of

risk is calculated as fre-

quency plus magnitude.

The next steps is to assign

a value for preparedness;

rate each risk on a scale

of one to ten based on how

well the operation is pre-

pared to manage the risk.

The results of the table

can now be plotted in a

matrix. Each risk can be

plotted on the matrix

based on the degree of

risk and the level of pre-

paredness. The matrix

will indicate which risks

are low risks with a high

level of preparedness,

which risks are low risks

with a low level of pre-

paredness, which risks

are high risks with a high

level of preparedness and

which risks are high risks

with a low level of pre-

paredness.

The matrix will help to

determine which risks

need more or immediate

attention, which risks are

minimal and are well pre-

pared for and where im-

provements can be made.

Now that you have identi-

fied, assessed and priori-

tized the risks facing the

operation; you can begin

to determine how to miti-

gate the risks.

CRAIK, SK — On World

Water Day,

Saskatchewan-based

Clean Flo Water Tech-

nologies is encouraging

Canadians to conserve

water and save money by

harvesting rainwater.

“Tomorrow is World

Water Day – a day desig-

nated by the United Na-

tions to focus attention on

the importance of fresh-

water and the need for

the sustainable manage-

ment of freshwater re-

sources. Rainwater can

replace or supplement

conventional treated mu-

nicipal water or well

water,” said Ben Morri-

son, a Water Resources

Engineering Technologist

with the company.

“Rainwater is a renew-

able, sustainable, high

quality and free water

source available to anyone

and can be harvested and

stored for a variety of

uses in residential, com-

mercial and agricultural

settings.”

Filtered rainwater can be

used for outdoor irriga-

tion, indoor laundry and

toilet flushing, and finally

drinking and cooking.

Clean Flo provides its

customers with effective

rainwater management

and conservation solu-

tions from sophisticated

rain barrels to whole

home systems, which can

integrate into a new build

or be retrofitted.

Jenine Demyen had a

whole home rainwater

harvesting system in-

stalled at her farm east of

Craven, SK last summer.

“We were building and

needed to put in all serv-

ices. All the wells in the

area were dug to at least

400 feet and neighbours

had told us the quality

wasn’t great,” Demyen

said. “It just made sense

to harvest rainwater from

the roof to use throughout

our house and yard.”

Demyen says the whole

home system cost approxi-

mately $20,000 less than

it would have cost to have

a well dug and that the

system will eventually

pay for itself.

“I pay for filters, but that

cost is less than a stan-

dard monthly water bill.

Plus, you don’t actually

realize how great it tastes

until you drink other

water.”

Despite low precipitation

levels this winter in

Saskatchewan, the De-

myen’s rainwater harvest-

ing system provided the

family with enough water

to fulfill all of its needs –

including their chickens

and other pets.

“We take pride in manag-

ing all water needs from

conception to installation

and supplying complete

professionally custom-de-

signed systems and engi-

neered designs that meet

all building codes,” Morri-

son said. “We’re excited

about the potential of

rainwater harvesting

when it comes to conserv-

ing water – our most pre-

cious resource.”

RM Review April 2016www.rmreview.net 9

As I reflect upon our Easter cele-

brations this past weekend I am

reminded that so many around

the world do not have the basic human

right of worshipping as they choose free

from persecution.

In the last Parliament, our Conservative

Government created the Office of Reli-

gious Freedom within Canada's depart-

ment of Foreign Affairs.

Due to the Liberal’s lack of support, its

work ended as it was scheduled to sun-

set yesterday.

In an attempt to pressure the Liberals to

support the continuation of this Office,

we proposed the following Conservative

motion which was debated on March 21.

That the House (a) recognize the good

work being done by Canada’s Office of

Religious Freedom, in particular its

work within the Department of Global

Affairs to build the Department's capac-

ity to address threats to religious free-

dom, and to directly promote peace,

freedom, tolerance, and communal har-

mony; and, as a consequence, (b) call on

the government to renew the current

mandate of the Office, since the continu-

ation of its vital work is needed now

more than ever.

Sadly, the Liberals voted against this

motion.

The Office of Religious Freedom punched

above its weight. Most of its resources

went directly to supporting programs in

troubled regions of the world.

In addition, the Office also helped Cana-

dian public servants understand the im-

portant role that religion occupies in

many international conflicts.

When it comes to religious persecution,

the numbers are staggering. Christians

face more persecution today than they

did during the period of the early

church. Sikhs and Hindus in places like

Afghanistan face significant persecution,

which has led to a dramatic decline in

their populations. Uyghur Muslims in

China and Tatar Muslims in Russia are

under increasing pressure and many

human rights groups have recognized

that what is happening to Yazidis,

Christians and other minorities in Syria

and Iraq is nothing short of genocide.

This Office was modest in scope with a

budget of $5 million. I would think that

in a high-spending budget like the one

the Liberals introduced on March 22

they could find this comparatively small

amount to continue the Office’s great

work.

I have posted on my website

(www.kellyblockmp.ca) a petition to the

House of Commons to support the Office

of Religious Freedom. I would encourage

you to print a copy of the petition, get

your friends and family to sign it and

send it to me (Kelly Block MP House of

Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6).

pealing, along with a

fresh coat of paint.

They have already re-

designed the circulation

desk area for more effi-

ciency and patron usage.

They are also creating an

area which will have Wi-

Fi service for workshops,

meetings and other pro-

grams.

The project should be

complete by November.

The substantial donations

make this possible and Li-

brary also thanks the

Town of Delisle for their

continuous financial sup-

port and provision of the

library space.
