Kristen Villebrun and Wendy Bush hoped they wouldn't have to pray for Chedoke Creek, but four years after they first raised alarm about the water's condition, they were part of an Indigenous full moon ceremony to do just that. About 50 people showed up near Princess Point on the dark and frigid Monday evening for the monthly ceremony, which was particularly special as it focused on Chedoke Creek. The body of water that runs into Cootes Paradise had about 24 billion litres of sewage and storm water runoff leak into it due to a gate being left open.
USask ranked 23rd worldwide and first in Canada in water resources, from 51-75 globally and fourth in Canada in veterinary sciences, and 76-100 globally and sixth in the country in environmental science and engineering. “We are proud that USask continues to lead Canada and is among the top performers globally in water science,” said USask Vice-President Research Baljit Singh.
