Description:

Since the late ‘70s, the American white pelican has summered along the South Saskatchewan River. The Pelicans fly south in the winter and their return north is eagerly awaited. There's even a Pelican Watch contest to spot the first pelican of the season. Fort Qu'appelle, Saskatchewan recently took their pelican love one step further, making it their town's official bird. Some locals even call themselves “Fort Qu’Appelicans.” We talk to Brian Strong, the mayor of Fort Qu’Appelle about the town’s love for pelicans.
