SIA Saskatoon Branch - Invasive Species Management - Baby's Breath Removal
2025-07-16 16:30 - 18:30
The SIA Saskatoon Branch is proud to partner with the Meewasin Valley Authority to bring you this exciting CPD opportunity. Join them on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at 4:30 pm, at Crocus Prairie.
Baby’s-breath is an invasive species that thrives in basic soil and full sunlight. Although it is a beautiful flower often used in decorative arrangements, once it invades land, it reduces native grasses and forage for wildlife. When the seeds mature, the plant breaks off and rolls like a tumbleweed, spreading thousands of seeds over long distances.
We will supply shovels to help dig out the roots, which is important to do as deeply as possible to prevent Baby’s-breath from returning. Our efforts will focus on removing this invasive plant and helping to restore native vegetation in the area.
Join Meewasin and work alongside their resource management team, who will share fascinating facts about the region.
Event Registration
This activity counts as a branch event for articling milestones and as CPD.

If you haven’t toured the Canadian Light Source, it’s a must see – and it’s open for public tours!
​The CLS is the only synchrotron in Canada and one of the largest scientific infrastructure investments in our country’s history – and it’s right here in Saskatoon!
​
​What is a synchrotron?
​”A synchrotron light source produces extremely bright light by using powerful magnets and radio frequency waves to accelerate electrons to nearly the speed of light. This infra-red, ultraviolet and X-ray light is shone down beamlines to experimental stations where scientists can select different parts of the spectrum to “see” the microscopic nature of matter, right down to the level of the atom.” LEARN MORE
