location at 792 - 108 Street. Through the generosity of our people and the great amount of volunteer labor by so many we now have a building that is paid for, which serves many purposes and we are very proud to show it off. The seniors gather once a week on Wednesday afternoon for socializing, enjoy playing cards, dancing and having pot luck suppers. Every second Wednesday of the month we have a monthly meeting at the Battlefords Ukrainian Seniors Hall. The last Monday of the month we celebrate birthdays with a supper. Ladies also do crafts. We gather for suppers with others for certain celebrations such as Ukrainian New Year, Ukrainian Heritage Day and any other occasion that warrants such a supper. Films, slides and guest speakers also are hosted. Many workshops are held to keep up our heritage. The hall is also used by the Svoboda Dancers and The Ukrainian Cultural Society with whom we are closely associated, and the Ukrainian Studies Group. We do not receive any grants. All expenses are borne by ladies catering and selling food such as perogies.

This organization eventually became known as The Battlefords Wildlife Federation. At the present time there are over 400 members. In 1975 the Battlefords Wildlife Federation in conjunction with The City of North Battleford, Ducks Unlimited and McMillan Brothers embarked on one of its most exciting and successful undertakings, “The Goose Nesting Project”. This is located within the city limits in the North Saskatchewan River valley. The two basins cover 135 acres. An average of 50 pairs of Canada Geese nest here each year, with a yearly hatch of over 200 goslings. This wetland also provides habitat for numerous other species both migratory and local. It is a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers. A viewing tower and platforms have been built to provide magnifi cent opportunities to see wildlife up close. In 1999 the Battlefords Wildlife Federation entered into a long term agreement with the City of North Battleford on use of the vacant waterslide facility and have developed it into an interpretive centre. The purpose is to enhancement of wildlife habitat and youth education in outdoor and conservation fi elds. Displays exhibited this year are: • a 42-foot display of taxidermy specimens fi tting into the backdrop mural of three landscapes — prairie, shoreline and forest; • a display of how animals are adapted to habitats; • an egg collection from over 50 types of birds; • live aquatic tank; interpreting the life of various water insects; • large forest predators. Interpreting their value in the balance of nature; • A Sportsman Den, explaining what role hunters and fi shermen play; • a video camera on location on an island in the goose nesting project monitored inside the interpretive centre, allowing visitors to view wildlife up close without disturbing it; • one section has an exhibit of 124 processed plants that grow in the river valley; • on the hillsides are walkways where you can observe identifi ed natural plant life, fl ower gardens and an aquatic pond.
