	Gardiner Dam Largest Earth-Filled Dam of its Day (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The dam is named in honour of James Gardiner, who was the Premier of Saskatchewan from 1926 to 1929 and again in 1934 to 1935 before he resigned to run for federal office.
		Gardiner continued to advocate for the need of a reliable water supply when he was elected to the House of Commons and then became Canada's Minister of Agriculture in 1944.
		The Gardiner Dam is used to moderate the flow of water on the South Saskatchewan River with its spillway that is more than one kilometre in length.

	Gardiner Dam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Gardiner Dam, located 100 km south of SASKATOON, is a 5 km long earth-fill structure towering 64 m above the South Saskatchewan riverbed.
		A dam near the "elbow" of the river (see ELBOW) had first been suggested in 1858 by Henry HIND, but construction did not begin until 1958 when a cost-sharing agreement was signed by the DIEFENBAKER (federal) and DOUGLAS (provincial) governments.
		The body of water behind the dam is named LAKE DIEFENBAKER after the man who, as prime minister, put the plan in motion (though Diefenbaker and Gardiner were arch-opponents).

	Untitled Document
		Gardiner’s political career began when he was elected to the Saskatchewan legislature in 1914, and ended with the Diefenbaker sweep of 1958.
		Gardiner’s contributions while Premier of Saskatchewan include his recognition and political support of the multicultural communities settling the prairies, his negotiation of the Natural Resources Transfer Agreement, which transferred resource ownership rights to Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and the decision to create a Crown utility to supply electricity in Saskatchewan.
		As the strongest proponent for Western Canada in the federal government, Gardiner is known for restructuring the PFRA which helped to restructure prairie agriculture with an emphasis on water conservation, the creation of the PFAA, and for his leadership in mobilizing Canada’s food supply network to support the war effort during WW II.

		GARDINER — Fish killed recently at a hydroelectric dam on Cobbossee Stream are raising renewed concerns that as the fall migration begins, there may be a repeat of the thousands of fish killed last year at the dam.
		Dead fish are turning up at Consolidated Hydro Inc.'s dam on the Cobbossee Stream in Gardiner, and state officials and a fisheries organization are worried that thousands more will die during their annual migration because of the dam's configuration.

	South Saskatchewan River Project
		When construction of a dam on the South Saskatchewan River was first considered, there was doubt that such a high dam on the river could be economically constructed because of the weakness of the geologically young Bearpaw Shale underlying the area.
		Early in construction of the main dam, when the deep excavations for the embankment foundations were being made, local movement occurred in certain areas of the excavated slopes.
		Still, the horizontal movements in some foundation areas of Gardiner Dam are greater than occur in most dams, and this interesting phenomenon continues to be observed by engineers so that the performance can be monitored and analyzed, and valuable new knowledge of the Bearpaw Shales obtained.

		The Minister of Agriculture, James Gardiner and the Prime Minister, John Diefenbaker, got together and decided to reintroduce the idea of building a dam, that would tie together with the South Saskatchewan River Project.
		The Qu’Appelle River Dam was the smaller dam of the two, however, without it the water could easily escape and flow into the Qu’Appelle Valley.
