Bus Trips Will Cost You More in Saskatchewan

The Cause of a Helicopter Crash Has Been Determined

In the release of its investigation report the Transportation Safety Board cites the loss of situational awareness and loss of control as the likely causes of a fatal helicopter crash at Gull Lake, Manitoba.

             

At 4 o’clock in the afternoon of July 1st, 2013 a Bell 206B helicopter operated by Custom Helicopters Limited left Gillam for nearby Gull Lake to pick up a work crew.  At 8:30 pm the helicopter was reported missing, a search ensued and debris was found the following morning along the shore line of Gull Lake. The pilot died in the crash.

             

The Safety Board reports the examination of the small amount of wreckage that was recovered indicated that the helicopter had struck the water at high speed.  The investigation concluded the pilot likely flew into an area of low visibility due to heavy smoke in the area or rain showers or both.  This likely contributed to a loss of situational awareness and would have reduced the pilot’s ability to remain in control of the helicopter.

             

They add Custom Helicopters has since incorporated additional standards that pilots have to meet prior to being dispatched to work in wildfire operations.

The Sale of a Mine Has Been Delayed

You can fish without a licence in Saskatchewan this weekend

Everyone, including visitors to Saskatchewan, is free to fish tomorrow and Sunday without having to buy a licence.  Environment Minister Scott Moe says the Free Fishing Weekend is an excellent chance for people to enjoy fishing in some of the province’s beautiful lakes and waterways.

There Are Six Options for the Aqua Center

Bridgman Collaborative Architects have been studying the local Aqua Center looking at all the background studies, holding public workshops and they received over 200 responses to their community survey.  The firms Marcilla Poirier says they have presented the city with five options to expand the present building noting option one and two really don’t add any revenue generating areas to the facility, option three introduces a very important feature which are the family change rooms and options four and five add revenue generating spaces with an improved weight room, fitness room, a therapeutic pool as well as a classroom.  She says these rental spaces really can pay for themselves over time but the return on the investment is a long one at 32 to 35 years but it is something the city will have to consider as they move forward.

             

Poirier adds option six a new building at 18 million dollars is not a workable option.  She says its now up to the community to decide which option they are willing to support through fundraising with a new survey posted online at www.flinflononline.com.
