LLOYDMINSTER, SK - Saskatchewan residents have always been willing to lend a helping hand, and now a Statistics Canada report (http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/060605/d060605a.htm) proves it. In a cross-Canada survey of giving, volunteering and participating, residents of Saskatchewan had the highest volunteer rate of any province at 54 per cent of the population... In 2004, about 428,000 individuals donated their time in Saskatchewan. While all of these people are vital to the province, none may be more important than the volunteer firefighters that watch over small town Saskatchewan on a daily basis.Source: meridianbooster.com (http://www.meridianbooster.com/story.php?id=236973)
