Saskatchewan update - January 2016
Landscape Trades devotes space in each issue to provincial association news.
As of October 1, Saskatchewan minimum wage earners will earn $10.50 per hour. Since 2007, Saskatchewan’s minimum wage has increased by 32 per cent, with eight increases from $7.95 to $10.50 over the past eight years.
Dutch elm disease was discovered in a Saskatoon tree, for the first time in that city. Crews removed the tree and inspectors searched nearby yards in an effort to pinpoint a source as part of the city’s response plan.
Five additional elm bark beetle adult pheromone traps were also placed in the surrounding area to monitor bark beetle populations.
The annual Landscape Saskatchewan Awards Presentation was held on March 17 at the Saskatoon Inn. The Landscape Awards program featured four award-winning entries this year. Congratulations to G & S Landscape & Excavation Services whose award-winning entries, Byers and Willows, here nominated for the 2016 National Awards of Landscape Excellence!
Landscape Saskatchewan’s spring work-shop was also help on March 17. Mike Lysecki from LMN joined us to talk to members and non-members on a variety of business management topics.
