Working Draft for:
This week we focus on: Saskatchewan's Free Fishing Weekend is July 9-10
"If you have always
wanted to try fishing as a new outdoor activity, your opportunity is right
around the corner.
Saskatchewan’s
annual summer free fishing weekend is July 9 and 10, when residents and visitors
can fish in Saskatchewan waters without an angling licence.
“Sport fishing is
a popular outdoor activity enjoyed throughout our province,” Environment
Minister Herb Cox said. “Free fishing weekend is an excellent opportunity for
families, friends, residents and visitors of all ages to experience summer
fishing in Saskatchewan’s beautiful environment.”
Regular angling
limits and all other sport fishing laws remain in
effect. All anglers,
including youth under the age of 16, and seniors 65 years of age and older who
will be angling on Lac La Ronge, must have a Lac La Ronge endorsement and
harvest ledger. These may be obtained for free through private issuers, Ministry
of Environment and select provincial park
offices.
Free fishing
weekend does not apply in national parks, and anyone planning to take fish out
of the province must purchase a licence.
More information
about fishing in Saskatchewan can be found in the 2016 Anglers’ Guide, available
wherever angling licences are sold, or online at www.saskatchewan.ca/fishing."

- The Preeceville Works Department is again remaining people to please water in the early morning or evenings on hot days. " If you irrigate in the middle of the day, evaporation prevents 14 percent of the water from reaching the plants’ roots. Watering the lawn in the early morning or evening can save the typical home owner 87 gallons a week"
