With GX94's Craig Wallebeck > see him @ http://www.gx94radio.com/craig-Wallebeck

This week we focus on: Public Safety Telecommunicators Week


Public Safety Telecommunicators Week April 9 to 16
"No matter the crisis, the province’s 911 operators and emergency service dispatchers are ready to help.
“Each day, 911 operators and emergency service dispatchers seamlessly connect those in dire circumstances with police, fire and emergency medical services,” Government Relations Minister Donna Harpauer said.  “They provide this vital support with a remarkable combination of efficiency and compassion.”

"In November 2016, the Government of Saskatchewan launched Text With 911 service for those who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired as well as their loved ones.  Contact your wireless service provider to register.  Text With 911 service is offered in both official languages.

Operators can provide service in more than 240 languages when you call 911.  To communicate in a language other than English or French, state the language you need and remain on the line while your call is transferred to an interpreter.

We can all do our part to ensure 911 operators and emergency service dispatchers are available to serve those in need.

Please help prevent accidental or prank 911 calls by:

• Remembering to lock your keypad when you carry your cell phone in your pocket, purse or backpack;
• Manually dialing 911 instead of preprogramming the number in your phone;
• Teaching your children the importance of 911 and when it should and should not be used; and
• Staying on the line if you accidentally dial 911 so an operator can quickly confirm that it is not a real emergency.

Last year, Saskatchewan 911 operators took 332,297 calls from across the province"

"Saskatchewan is a vast province, home to fantastic landscapes, incredible sights, and many hidden gems; the trails around Preeceville are proof of that. We travel to one such gem, the Ushta Valley, just outside the town Endeavour. Fortunately for you, this is one snowmobiling secret that's just too good to keep to yourself"

Events:

- Time for that Spring Walk>  http://www.saskatchewaninmotion.ca/ 
 
- The prairie crocus (Anemone patens), is the first plant to bloom on the prairie each year. The true harbinger of spring, its mauve petals dot the still drab prairie landscape, often before the last winter have melted. By blooming so early, the crocus assures itself of the complete attention of available pollinators - small bees and other insects. Its seeds can then ripen by early June and if moisture is available they will germinate right away. If the prairie is too dry the seeds will go dormant, then germinate the following spring. The price for this early flowering strategy is occasional failure of the seed crop. Severe frosts (-5 to -10C) during flowering can limit seed production"
