Climate delay is the more dangerous form of climate denial, and our response to the IPCC news needs to be a moratorium on fossil fuel expansion in Saskatchewan ...and Canada, a freeze on projects like Trans Mountain, and immediate action to fast track just transition legislation. This picture was taken up in Meadow Lake Provincial Park in northern Saskatchewan last week. We are in a climate crisis. We shouldn’t be clear cutting inside our provincial parks! -Naomi Hunter, leader of the Saskatchewan Green Party

"In my 17 years of farming, we have always depended on timely rain. We have had less than 2 in of rain since April 1 2021, and the hot weather and lack of moist...ure is devastating our crops. I really worry about grass and crop fires with everything being so dry." - Glenn Wright // "Avec les 17 années de travaille comme fermier, nous avons toujours compte d'une pluie opportune. On avait seulement eu la pluie deux foix depuis 1 avril, 2021, et la chaleur et la manque d'humidité donne grave dégâts dans les récoltes. Je m'inquiète a propos des feux gazon et récoltes avec toute cette sécheresse." - Glenn Wright -- #NFUCanada #Farmers #Drought #Climate #UNFCanada #Fermiers #Sécheresse #climat See more

A Message from Our Leader We are in a wonderful period of growth for the Saskatchewan Green Party. Following a constitutional reform and a more than 300 per ce...nt increase in membership, we are building into our party structure the kind of Participatory Democracy called for in our Green Values. Real decision-making power is to reside in local constituency associations (CA). In each of 61 such CAs, the local members will be the ones to choose their candidate, bring policy resolutions to convention (AGM) and help represent the party to their neighbours. I am happy to announce that the first of our new constituency associations was set up on June 11 in Regina Douglas Park, my great Deputy Leader Victor Lau’s long-time constituency. I was there for a wonderful visit following an inaugural meeting carefully based on new rules and past experience. This important first meeting can serve as a model for future CAs. So, talk this over with your local Green friends. Victor and I and other helpers can come join a meeting (with snacks!) at a socially-distanced, Covid 19-safe outdoor event in your area this summer. We can help organize your meeting. Are you the only Green in your area? Feeling isolated? I would be happy to come and meet just with you. I am a farmer -- I know what it’s like to be in an isolated area in Saskatchewan and to feel like no one nearby thinks like you do. I see huge value in our having at least one contact person in a given constituency -- perhaps that could be you. If we can’t form a constituency association right away in your area, one person could be enough to help us grow. The provincial Saskatchewan Green Party and the federal Green Party of Canada are separate entities. Many think we are an integrated party but we are not. If you are a GPC member, we would love to have you join the Saskatchewan Green Party as well and be a part of this exciting period of participatory democracy in action. This has been a difficult year for many. I don’t think any of us thought the pandemic and resulting restrictions would last as long as they have. If you ever want to talk or share something that you feel we could work on together, I would love to hear from you. Please also remember that the Weaver is a member-run newsletter/magazine. We welcome submissions for consideration in every issue. This can be a great way to let like-minded individuals know about and offer support for local issues in your area. We are all the Green Party. We are a member-driven party and work together from the ground up! Power to the People!

It’s my birthday today. Have I asked you about becoming a member of the Saskatchewan Greens? We don’t publish our membership list. But then you get emails a...bout petitions and things we are circulating. It helps a lot when I can keep saying in the media that we are growing. I can sign you up through messenger if you have trouble with the website for any reason. I’m dropping all my contact info here. Reach out anytime. I’m looking forward to this upcoming year.

There will be extra covid-19 related litter on the ground as the snow melts this year. Can we all agree to help clean this up quickly? The elastic straps on t...he disposable face masks are particularly concerning. They can tangle around the necks, legs, wings, etc of wildlife, birds & fish. Or wildlife may try to eat these items. I’m really worried about this, this year especially. Please help.
