Lac Pelletier Residents Want Development Stopped

Lac Pelletier, SK - More than 100 people gathered at Lac Pelletier last week to try and answer questions and formulate a plan to stop a cabin subdivision at the south end of the lake.

"It is one thing to get approval, it's another thing to get society's approval and right now society doesn't agree," said the meeting facilitator, Dan Kane.

Cecile Blanke, a Metis Elder for Swift Current and area was the first to speak. She was born at the Lake. Blanke expressed that Community Planning through Municipal Affairs had a duty to consult the Metis people before approving the development.

After seeing the stakes marking the 45-cabin development at the south end of the lake she took action. A week earlier, on May 21 a public meeting was called in Neville and construction was stopped for 10 days. The RM of Lac Pelletier held a public hearing regarding the development on June 20, 2006. As of June 4, construction had not begun again.

Darker Skies Touted for Energy Savings

Saskatoon skies are going dark after city council asked administration to draft a policy to replace street lighting with lamps that aim light only where it's needed.

The city passed a policy last year that will see flat-lens street lamps installed in all new developments. The latest policy, requested by the city's environmental advisory committee, will commit the city to eventually replacing all lights on public property in Saskatoon.

Dark-sky lights keep light on the property where the fixture is located and out of the sky. The advantages are lower energy and maintenance costs and fewer complaints about glare, according to a report by the environmental advisory committee.

Blue-green Algae Advisory

Regina, August 18th - The Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Health and the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority are advising the public to avoid swimming in or drinking water where blue-green algae blooms are occurring. Pet owners and livestock producers are also advised to keep their animals away from such water.

Algae blooms are heavy concentrations of blue-green algae, which often give the water a pea soup appearance, usually blue-green, bright blue, grey or tan in colour. The recent warm temperatures in the province may result in the quick formation of algal blooms.

Algal blooms commonly occur during calm, hot weather in areas of lakes and reservoirs with shallow, slow moving or still water that is rich in nutrients. The blooms can last up to three weeks and can be pushed around the lake or reservoir by the wind.

Swimming in or drinking this algae-contaminated water can cause red skin, sore throat, cramps or diarrhea. In addition, caution should be taken when considering the consumption of fish or shellfish caught in areas of a water body where a bloom exists; in particular the internal organs of the fish should not be eaten.

If you have health-related questions about blue-green algae, please contact your local Medical Health Officer.

Revenue Canada's Proposed Guidelines for Fundraising Expenses

If you are a small or mid-size charity, the fundraising guidelines that Revenue Canada is proposing have the potential to significantly change how your organization raises money. They will: impact your ability to raise funds from the general public; impose a significant additional administrative burden and associated costs; potentially impact your ability to earn income and; may result in you losing your charitable registration for high fundraising costs over which you may have little control or choice.

The Ontario Non-profit Network has prepared an in-depth brief which includes areas for discussion and some suggested changes. We would encourage you to review this document immediately so that you can provide your feedback to CRA before their August 31st deadline.

Earth 2100: Videos Wanted

ABC News is producing a 2-hour special called Earth 2100, a look at what some of the world's top scientists, economists, and historians say could happen to our planet if humankind continues on the "business as usual" course. The program's operating assumption is that unless we act now, the perfect storm of population growth, resource depletion, and climate change could pose a serious threat to our future world.

We're posting scenarios based on their projections for the years 2015, 2050 and 2100 on our web site, and we're inviting people from all over the world to tell us what it's like to live in this future. We're asking people to submit 1-3 minute videos that can be as simple or elaborate as you want them to be. We will post submitted videos online, and include the most compelling in our prime time broadcast in January.

This is a unique opportunity to shed light on our future, and we are very excited to hear what people are thinking. To read the briefings, and for more information on how to get involved, go to http://earth2100.tv/.
