 Sutherland Migratory Bird Sanctuary - Environment Canada
The Sutherland Bird Sanctuary includes a park and zoo, known locally as the Forestry Farm Park, and a Canada Agriculture Research Station within the City limits of Saskatoon.
The Sutherland Bird Sanctuary was established on May 5, 1924 by Order-In-Council P.C. Between 1948 and 1950, federal sanctuaries were inspected on two occasions to determine if they were still of value to migratory waterfowl during periods of drought, and to revise the sanctuary boundaries to include only the water area.
Apparently, these inspections were not carried out at the Sutherland Bird Sanctuary; the Sanctuary had limited value for waterfowl and the land area, the major part of the Sanctuary, was not deleted from the protected area.
