Ensuring a sustainable
environment in the
Spirit Creek watershed

The Spirit Creek Watershed Monitoring Committee is the first of its kind established in Canada to monitor intensive livestock operations. Its members are local residents representing municipal and community groups, rural residents, cottage owners and farmers in the Good Spirit Lake area of east-central Saskatchewan.

The committee is empowered by the Saskatchewan Minister of Agriculture to investigate and report the environmental impact on the water, soil and air resulting from intensive hog operations in the Spirit Creek watershed, which extends north from the lake.
