About us
Meewasin is a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving the cultural and natural resources of the South Saskatchewan River Valley. It is the means by which the three participating parties (City of Saskatoon, Government of Saskatchewan, and University of Saskatchewan) have chosen to best manage the Meewasin Valley in the South Saskatchewan River Basin. The creation of Meewasin is based on the concept that the partners working together through a single agency – Meewasin – can accomplish more than they could individually.

Our Resource Management Officer, Renny, recently embarked on a 6-week travel study across Europe as part of his Nuffield Canada Agricultural Scholarship. Tune in to yesterday's episode of CBC's Saskatoon Morning (link below) to hear what Renny has been up to! https://lnkd.in/gat26Yi6 #Agriculture #Biodiversity #Conservation
This morning, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Theresa Kliem on CBC Saskatoon's morning radio show. As I sat on a park bench in the picturesque Trinity College Botanical Garden in Dublin, Ireland, I shared my Nuffield Canada project and my experiences during my first week in England with her audience, Thank you to Nature Conservancy of Canada for sponsoring my Nuffield Canada Agriculture Scholarship and to my other sponsors: SaskParks, Meewasin Valley Authority, Brett Young Seeds, Blazing Star Wildflower Seed Company, Native Plant Society of Saskatchewan, Skinner Native Seeds, ALCLA Native Plants, Saskatchewan Environmental Society ACE Fund, and KT Honey.

Earlier this summer, we undertook a survey of breeding birds in the Valley. Pictured here are 4 of our fantastic summer students hard at work surveying! 💪 There’s an endless amount of work to be done around here in the summertime, and our summer students play a huge role in our successes. Great job, team! 👏 A huge thanks goes to Trans Canada Trail | Sentier Transcanadien and our other supporting partners, whose contributions enable us to bring on such an amazing crew for the summer. #SummerStudents #SummerJob

Last Friday we hosted a Trail Opening Ceremony celebrating the completion of enhancements to Kiwanis Memorial Park South. The event marked the end of Phase 1 of the Downtown Site & Trail Enhancements Plan, a multi-year project slated to revitalize the Meewasin Trail from River Landing to Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan (https://lnkd.in/giGFVktw). This project wouldn't have been possible without the support of the Government of Canada, the Government of Saskatchewan, the City of Saskatoon, Trans Canada Trail | Sentier Transcanadien, and of course, the many individual donors that so generously contributed. Thank you to MLA Lisa Lambert, Councillor Bev Dubois, and Trans Canada Trail CEO Mathieu Roy for bringing remarks, Trans Canada Trail Director Robert Kuling for your support, and as always, Meewasin Board Chair Angela Bedard-Haughn and CEO Andrea Lafond for your continued leadership.
