This quote is from the front page of the 2010 Hunting and Trapping Synopsis
Nancy Heppner has been an active supporter of hunting in her role as Minister of Environment. If you want to examine the full synopsis you can find it

We have the privilege of living in one of the best
places in the world – a province with a diverse
array of natural resources. Saskatchewan's
bountiful hunting opportunities make us the envy
of those who are passionate about outdoor
recreation. Our hunting opportunities are not
only world-class, they are major contributors to
our economy. Hunting, fishing and trapping are
an integral part of Saskatchewan.
Sunday hunting was implemented province-wide
for all game species and all hunters beginning
with the 2009 season. Hunters have responded
favourably to this initiative. In our busy society,
finding time beyond Saturdays and holidays to
participate in hunting activities can be difficult.
Now hunters have a full weekend to enjoy a bird
or big game hunt.
Hunters have also responded positively to the
fixed opening and closing dates for most species
and seasons that we implemented for the 2009
hunting season. The regulations were simplified
and hunters will know from year to year when
seasons begin, making it easier to make hunting
plans.
Our government introduced
The Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Heritage Act
into the Legislative Assembly last fall. This act recognizes the
important role hunting, fishing and trapping have
played in shaping Saskatchewan's social, cultural
and economic heritage. To celebrate this, the act
declares November 15 of each year “Hunting,
Fishing and Trapping Heritage Day” in
Saskatchewan. This coincides with the opening
of the fall rifle deer season in most areas of the
province.
I wish each of you a safe, successful hunting
season.
Nancy Heppner
Minister of Environment
