Over the past couple months, the Community Settlement Committee (CSC) for the Kipling area made some exciting advancements in ways to welcome new immigrants to the community. One of the most exciting ideas is a campaign to put faces on the immigrants by telling their stories of where they came from, why they came to this area and what they do now.

Endangered Lady’s SlipperMissing in Saskatchewan since 1895: the Small White Lady’s Slipper

The Small White Lady’s Slipper (Cypripedium candidum) is a rare orchid historically found in Saskatchewan and has been missing since its last recorded occurrence somewhere near Indian Head in 1895. “This plant takes 13 years to mature and produce a flower, so conservation of its habitat is crucial” says Sarah Vinge of Nature Saskatchewan’s Rare Plant Rescue program. “Landowners and naturalists are needed to watch for this species in the spring. There may still be populations of this plant in the Qu’Appelle Valley, from Indian Head to the Manitoba border or possibly along the Pipestone Creek. The hope is that by creating awareness about the status of the Small White Lady’s Slipper, someone may find this plant and will call-in to report the sighting.” Currently, the closest known population of this species to Saskatchewan is near Brandon, Manitoba.
