Water School empowers communities through a 3-Step program, which integrates sanitation and hygiene education with a simple and sustainable water treatment technology called Solar Disinfection (SODIS). With this process, water from the local supply is placed in clear plastic bottles and set in the sun where ultraviolet rays disinfect the water. Hours later, that dirty water is now clean and safe to drink. It’s that simple. Water School goes beyond SODIS and works with schools to teach students sanitation & hygiene basics such as hand-washing and the importance of using latrines. This life changing information ensures children and their families have the knowledge they need to prevent disease, stay healthy and access clean water for life! Learn more at www.waterschool.com

We provide the full range of treatment services needed to rehabilitate small birds and mammals. We assist the public with issues relating to wildlife; and promote knowledge and appreciation of wild animals and the habitats they depend on for survival. LSWR took in 20 animals in 2005, which increased to 220 in 2011. Each animal requires specialized foods, housing and environmental enrichment to ensure success upon their return to the wild. All activities are funded by donations and grants. There is no government funding for these programs. LSWR works in collaboration with the provincial wildlife rehabilitation society, local veterinarians, the Saskatoon Nature Society, the Zoo Society, and others to arrange for animal rescue, pick-up, medical needs, on-going care, and the eventual release of the animal to an appropriate habitat. All services are provided by volunteers, with over 25 contributing their time and energy to support Saskatchewan’s wildlife in 2011.
