CBC Radio 3 and the David Suziki Foundation are trying to find Canada’s Environmental Anthem. They have found the five finalists for every province by the judges. Now they would like you to vote to help decide which of these songs will be on David Suzuki’s ‘Playlist for the Planet’ compilation CD.
Fern Haight’s (from Hanley, SK) grandson, Lee Raito, a Saskatchewan born boy’s song, ‘One and the Same‘, has been picked by the judges to be one of the five contestants from each province. Now the crunch is on as the voting for these five from each province starts again today, September 1st, ending on September 8th. You can vote once each day for a song from each province. 100% of the proceeds goes to the David Suzuki Foundation, not to the contestant.
To get involved in the voting and to listen to all the songs from the various province, you need to go to: Playlist for the Planet and login with your user name and password. If you have not become a member you will first have to become a member by clicking on Become a Member. You will need a user name, password, email address and then fill in the box on the bottom of the two words in the picture and clicking on ‘Next’. Once you are a member you can then click on Vote Now where you login with your user name and password. You then will be able to view and hear all the songs from the provinces.
To listen to Lee Raito’s song (Fern Haight’s grandson), scroll down the page to Manitoba. You can listen to all of the songs by clicking on the green arrow on the right hand side of the page. To vote for a song (for each province), click on ‘Choose This One’ on the left side of the page. You have one vote for each province and can vote once a day. You do not have to vote for every province so if you want, you can just vote for one song each day.
Take your time and listen to some of the songs. They are very good and any of them would be a great addition to the CD.
I received an email from Fern Haight of Hanley, Saskatchewan and include it here for your viewing: Quote::::
Dear Friends,
I am asking for your help.
David Suzuki is having a contest. He is asking Canadians to compose an environmental anthem.
My grandson, Lee Raito has just done this. In order to hear his song “One and the Same” that he has composed and recorded, please go to One-and-The-Same.
Lee is the lead singer and is playing the guitar.
Now in order for him to win he needs votes. Voting will be on August 15th.Instructions for voting will be sent later.
In the mean time you may become a fan of his. At the bottom of the page is a link/button to sign up as a fan and use the heart button to favorite the song. Then your name will appear on the fan list.
On Aug. 15th please help me out and vote for my grandson and make me a very proud grandma. I know I can count on you all.
Thanks so much for your support.

Click on the link above and give the song a listen. As Fern states, you can sign up as a fan of her grandson, Lee Raito and when the option to vote are open you will be able to vote for the song of your choice…
You no longer need to conserve water. Terry was able to fix that problem last night.
We still have a problem with the pressure and hopefully will resolve that today.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.

We are having water issues at the water treatment plant. We can get water out of the plant (so we DO NOT have a boil water advisory) but we can’t get the water in to the cisterns and only have enough for one day. Terry can run it manually but that means he has to sleep and live at the plant.
So, please do not use the water unneccesarily and since we do not have the capacity to call everyone (it takes 5 hours by phone) please tell everyone you see to conserve water and the reason why. Hopefully it will be fixed today (we have a fellow coming this evening) but if he can’t fix it, the part won’t be here till Friday.
If you have any questions, please call or e-mail the Town Office and thank you so much for giving us your e-mail address for notifications of this type.
