Canadian Prairies Prescribed Fire Exchange

Tune in to CBC Saskatchewan’s Blue Sky on Monday, May 11, 2026, from 12:00–1:00 PM as the conversation turns to prescribed fire in Saskatchewan and the growing role of and on our landscapes.

We’ll be discussing how prescribed fire helps maintain native grasslands, reduce shrub and tree invasion, improve wildlife habitat, increase forage production for livestock, and reduce wildfire risk across the Prairies.

Joining host Leisha Grebinski for the discussion:
• Renny Grilz from Meewasin Valley Authority and the Canadian Prairies Prescribed Fire Exchange
• Samantha Gunn from the Brightwater Center with the Saskatoon Public Schools
• Ian Hnatowich from Wanuskewin Heritage Park
• Sam Morrison from the Aberdeen Municipal Pasture near Aberdeen, Saskatchewan

Listen live online or on 540 AM across Saskatchewan as we explore how fire can be used as a safe and effective tool to steward prairie landscapes.
