🇨🇦🎉 Happy Canada Day! 🎉 🇨🇦
School's out! Congratulations to all the amazing students and dedicated teachers for finishing another year. You’ve earned a fun and relaxing summer — enjoy every moment!
Whether you're spending time at the beach with family, exploring local parks, or heading out on a big adventure, your local first responders want to remind everyone to stay safe. Here are 3 quick tips:
✅ Stay hydrated & protect yourself from the sun — Drink lots of water and don’t forget your sunscreen, hat, and shade breaks, especially for little ones at the beach.
✅ Be water smart — Always wear a life jacket when boating or swimming in open water, and keep a close eye on kids near the water.
✅ Play safe outdoors — Watch for traffic, wear helmets when biking, and stay aware of your surroundings on hikes, trails, or beach walks.
Have an amazing, safe, and memorable

🧡 National Indigenous Peoples Day 🧡

Today, your rural beach first responders join communities across Canada in honouring the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.
Here in Saskatchewan, we recognize the deep and lasting connection Indigenous Peoples have with the land we live and serve on. We are committed to learning, listening, and building respectful relationships rooted in truth and reconciliation.
In our small but strong community, we stand together in respect, unity, and gratitude.

🚑🏡 Help Us Help You — Make Your Address Easy to Find! 🏡🚒

With summer in full swing and our beach community buzzing, emergency call volumes are rising. Every second counts when first responders are on their way — but overgrown trees, faded numbers, or hard-to-see signs can cost valuable time.
Here’s how you can help:

✅ Trim trees, hedges, or bushes that block your address
✅ Use large, reflective numbers visible from the road — day or night
✅ Consider a fun family project: paint a custom address sign that’s bright and easy to spot!
Whether it’s a fire, medical emergency, or rescue — visibility matters. Let’s work together to make sure we can get to you as quickly and safely as possible.

Happy Father’s Day from Our Rural Roots 🚜🌾🌾
Today we celebrate the dads, grandpas, stepdads, uncles, and father figures who shape our small towns with big hearts.
From teaching us how to change a tire or mend a fence, to sharing stories at the kitchen table or working long days to provide for their families — your quiet strength and steady love don’t go unnoticed.
Thank you for showing up, standing strong, and leading with love. 💙
Here’s to the men who make our community what it is — grounded, generous, and full of grit.

🚨Heads Up:🚨
Forest fire smoke is drifting into town, and it's getting heavy. We know a lot of you are out working, farming, or just living life outside

— here’s what to watch for:
🔥 What Smoke Can Do:
• Scratchy throat, burning eyes, headaches
• Breathing troubles — especially for folks with asthma, COPD, or heart problems
• Tougher on kids, elders, and anyone with health conditions

🛡️ What You Can Do:
• ✅ Stay indoors if you can, windows shut
• ✅ Use an air purifier or a DIY filter setup
• ✅ Take it easy — skip outdoor work or exercise if possible
• ✅ If you must be outside, wear a proper mask (N95 or KN95)
• ✅ Drink lots of water and rest when you need it
👥 Let’s look out for each other — check in on neighbors, especially the elderly or those with health concerns.
💛 As a small community, we encourage everyone to keep those displaced in their thoughts, look into ways you might be able to helping those who might be displaced. Even small acts make a big difference.
Stay safe, stay kind.

🌊 Lake Day Safety Tip! 🛟
When heading to the lake this summer, swimsuit color matters more than you think!
👙🏊‍♂️ Choose bright, high-visibility colors like:
🩷 Neon pink
🧡 Bright orange
💚 Lime green
💛Yellow
These colors stand out in murky water, making it easier for lifeguards or bystanders to spot someone quickly in case of an emergency.
❌ Avoid colors that blend in:
🔵 Blue
⚫ Black
⚪ White
🟤 Earth tones
They disappear below the surface — even just a few feet down!
Other lake safety musts:
✔️ Always swim with a buddy
✔️ Stay close to shore
✔️ Know your swimming limits
✔️ Keep a charged phone nearby
✔️ Always wear life jackets — even on the dock
✔️ Watch for drop-offs, rocks, and boat traffic
✔️ Never swim under the influence
A safe swim is a fun swim. Let's protect ourselves and others! 🌞

Just a reminder for all residents to ensure your address is clearly visible from your street/road. Here a way to register your address to fire, police and ems locate your address quickly.

Help emergency responders find you faster! 🚓🚑

The Civic Address Registry (CAR), managed by the SPSA, is designed to help emergency services like police, fire, and EMS locate Saskatchewan residents more efficiently.
The SPSA urges all communities to take advantage of this program. CAR enables community authorities to manage location data in a geographic database, ensuring quicker response times.

⚠️ Outdated addresses can delay 9-1-1 response times without community support.
🏡 Urban and rural addresses are determined by road networks.
🔍 Civic addresses provide a more accurate location than legal land descriptions.
❗Please note, this registry is not for mail or personal information.
