USLC Weekly News - Volume 10, Issue 11
Welcome to the USLC weekly newsletter. Get the latest news on what's happening at the USLC.
Changing seasons
As we hit the middle of March, you will notice that the season is starting to change. You survived winter!!!
The sun begins it's rise earlier in the mornings and doesn't set until later in the evening. The sun's rays feel warmer and the snow is beginning to melt away. The mornings still feel a little cool outside, but the sun sure feels good.
As the snow melts, we do want you to still be careful if you're walking out there. The paths can get very slippery and muddy at the same time. We hope you're able to enjoy this change!
When the paths are safe, try to enjoy the beauty of the Meewasin River Valley. Take a walk (or bike ride) along the South Saskatchewan River and enjoy the beauty that Saskatoon has to offer you!
