MAYFAIR — The Thickwood Hills Wildlife Federation fish fry was a roaring success with 260 people in attendance Saturday, April 16 in Mayfair Hall. The 50/50 draw was $1,000 and the lucky winner is from Saskatoon. There was also a door prize.
The Thickwood Hills firearm safety course in Mayfair Hall drew 13 students during the Easter holidays. One can take the course online, but usually in-classroom instruction is the best. The students get to engage more with the instructor and other kids their age which obviously makes learning more enticing for most. The course is mandatory for first-time hunters (usually 12 years and over) and for those born after Jan. 1, 1971.
Eight CWL members from the All Saints Roman Catholic Church attended a diocesan conference in North Battleford last Saturday at Notre Dame Church. The guest speaker on Indigenous issues was Deacon Harry Lafond from Muskeg Lake Cree Nation. This was well attended by many women from within the diocese.
Many regional and provincial parks are advertising for swimming instructors. The positions are open to students 16 years and older who have completed the Junior Bronze or Red Cross lifeguard certification. Swimming lessons are usually of two-week duration, rain or shine!
