Welcome to Week XII of Fishing Parkland Shorelines . Like most of us I am a novice fisherman, loving to fish, but far from an expert, In the following weeks I ll attempt to give those anglers who love to fish but just don t have access a boat a look at some of the options in the Yorkton area where you can fish from shore, and hopefully catch some fish for a good summer fry. If you re looking for a fishing spot close to Yorkton with a good record of success, then head east on Highway #10 with a goal of fishing the Togo bridges.

And last week, Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan announced preliminary findings of an estimated 751 unmarked graves in the community, about 140 kilometres east of Regina. The unmarked graves are at a cemetery near the former Marieval Indian Residential School.
For many younger Indigenous people, they re only now starting to learn how their families were impacted by the legacy of the schools, Dumas said.
AMC Grand Chief Arlen Dumas said he was disappointed and a little shocked by the actions of those who toppled statues of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II at the Manitoba Legislature on Canada Day.
His mother and grandparents went to residential schools, he said, but a curtain of silence over what happened meant he didn t have an appreciation of it until he was an adult.
