Speed Awareness Initiative for R.M. of Leask – The presence of the solar radar sign in various locations throughout the municipality in recent weeks is due to grant approval by the Government of Saskatchewan Provincial Traffic Safety Fund.

Speeding on municipal roads is an ongoing issue. Slower speeds must be adhered to in order to keep residents and visitors to our municipality safe while they enjoy all of the available amenities. Future applications to this fund may yield additional radar signs to be placed in the R.M. to encourage safe and responsible driving practices.

I am reaching out because we (Saskatchewan Polytechnic) are conducting a research study this spring, that involves temporary buoys being placed on a few lakes to assess the environmental conditions at walleye stocking sites. Iroquois Lake is one of our planned study waters!

Below is more information about this study.

Where: up to 10 stocked walleye lakes in west central, and northwest SK.

When: May 8^th - June 16^th (for most lakes)

Who: Rebecca Perry and Integrated Resource Management students from Saskatchewan Polytechnic. This study is in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment and Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery.
