Swift Current Student Outdoor Education Club Plants Trees
Mr.
Wall:
— Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I’d like to take some time to
congratulate some ambitious students from the Swift Current
Comprehensive High School. Mr. Speaker, the Outdoor Education Club
at the school provides students with the opportunity to experience
a number of outdoor recreational activities in order to learn
about the environment. Each year they also conduct an
environmental enhancement project in the southwest. This year a
group of 30 students spent the afternoon of June 7 planting trees
around a trout pond near Highway 32 in the Swift Current area. The
Outdoor Education Cub felt the trees would help beautify the trout
pond for the people who enjoy fishing there and would also bring
more wildlife to the region. The club contacted the non-profit
group known as TREEmendous Saskatchewan and requested 300 trees
for their project. Mr. Speaker, TREEmendous Saskatchewan thought
it was such an excellent idea that they supplied the club with 720
trees. I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate the
students of the Outdoor Education club for their worthwhile
efforts to enhance the environment, as well as their teacher
advisers, Myles Radchenko, and Stew Tasche, who I believe were
also involved in the club when I went to that high school a few
years ago. And I’d also like to thank TREEmendous Saskatchewan,
Mr. Speaker, for providing the trees to the Outdoor Education
Club. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
