Water Ski and Wakeboard Saskatchewan is interested in organizing a clinic at Marean Lake during the summer of 2016.  The clinic would be held on a weekend consisting of 2-3 days and could accommodate 10-12 participants per day depending on interest.  All the equipment, life jackets, boat and fuel is provided by WSWS and is included in the cost of approximately $60-$75/person/day. The price may vary depending on the number of registrants.   This would be a great opportunity for all ages and skill levels.

They have created a short survey to get an idea of how much interest there is, and will organize the clinic based on the results. Please click on the link below to complete the survey.

The Greenwater area, including resorts at Marean Lake have been hit with a rash of break-and-enter thefts recently.  RCMP are aware and stepping up monitoring, and cabin owners should ensure their properties are checked regularly over the winter months.  For any concerns, contact the RCMP at either the Kelvington office (306-327-1200) or Rose Valley (306-322-2550).

The RM of Bjorkdale No. 426 is accepting tenders for the annual snow removal contract for Marean Lake Resort subdivision adjacent to the lake. The successful contractor will be required to remove snow from the municipal roads within the resort after every significant snow fall (more than 8 to 10 cm) during the winter season. The contract will be paid on a monthly basis for the months of November through March. Expectations are that roads will be floated until a hardpack base of approximately 5 to 10 cm is established after which plowing will be expected. Please submit your tender including your monthly fee and the equipment to be used.
Tenders must be submitted to the RM office by 4:30 pm on Thursday October 22nd, 2015.

Lowest for any tender not necessarily accepted.

Additional security measures will be implemented within the resort in order to ensure that we all have a safe and enjoyable Canada Day holiday.  Because the holiday falls mid-week, the additional  measures will in place the weekend before and the weekend after, as well as the 1st.

A checkpoint will be in place on the main road throughout the evening, the rear gate will be closed during the evening, and police patrols will be more frequent.

All the placements on private docks (south of the boat launch) have been finalized, and those people securing seasonal spots (north of the boat launch) have been contacted.  If you were looking for a spot and have not been contacted then you may be on the wait list.  Once the seasonal spots have been finalized the wait list will be published on the website.

Daily bookings are available for anyone needing them by contacting Jax Snacks at 306-278-1210.  Daily bookings are restricted to cabin owners within the Marean Lake Resort until June 15th, after which they will be open to the public.

The cool weather a few weeks ago delayed the leafing of the trees and the development of the caterpillars, but that changed dramatically in the last 2 days. Weather permitting, tent caterpillar spraying at Greenwater and Marean could start as early as Monday, May 25th. Look for planes to be in the air starting between 5:00 and 6:00 AM.

(Note: Spraying was completed as planned on the morning of the 25th)

Over the upcoming May long weekend additional security measures will be implemented within the resort in order to ensure that we all have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

A checkpoint will be in place on the main road throughout the evening, the rear gate will be closed during the evening and overnight, and police patrols will be more frequent.

Tent caterpillars are those annoying things that strip deciduous trees of their leaves, crawl on every available surface, spin cocoons everywhere, and generally make life miserable.  They began encroaching on Marean Lake from the south last summer and will be approaching their peak this year.  In order to make the lake liveable this summer, the Marean Lake Advisory Committee is partnering with the other developments at the lake to undertake an aerial spraying program.

Depending on weather conditions, it is expected the Marean and Greenwater area will be sprayed midweek following the May long weekend (May 19-21).  Spraying will occur in the very early morning hours when winds are the calmest.

Once again no election is required for MLAC membership.  Only one nomination was received and Marlin Johnson was acclaimed into the position by the RM of Bjorkdale.  Thanks to Marlin for reconsidering his nomination.  Appropriate documents are posted on the RM of Bjorkdale website.
