FIRE BAN now in place

As of today, May 14th, the RM of Bjorkdale has implemented a fire ban due to the extremely dry conditions. This applies to the entire RM, INCLUDING the resorts at Marean Lake, and will remain in place until the fire risk is reduced by rain.

Please respect this ban and protect our resort.

Speed and Safety

New speed bumps have been installed

Excessive speed creates a safety hazard for pedestrians and increases dust.  In order to reduce speeds, the RM has now installed several speed bumps (marked with flags) on the 2 main access roads into the resort from grid road #679.

 

Speed on the main access roads is limited to 40 kph

Speed within the resort is limited to 20 kph

STOP Aquatic Invasive Species

ALERT!

Zebra mussels and Quagga mussels are two species that, when introduced to a new ecosystem, reproduce at such a rapid rate that they then over take the ecosystem and kill everything in it as they do not have any natural predators in Saskatchewan, Canada, or North America.

They have been confirmed present in Lake Winnipeg as well as the Great Lakes. Additionally they have been found in every state in the USA.

If there is a boat that has been in a lake in these contaminated areas, they must be quarantined and disinfected before they are allowed in Saskatchewan lakes. If you spot a boat with a license plate from these areas, call the number on the sign and do not allow the boat in the water.

Eventually we will have pamphlets with more information available at the store as well as on the MLAC website.
