This photo of Patrick and Lewis Eckerman was taken Saturday, June 3 on Jackfish Lake. Patrick has stepped up to bring sailing lessons back to Meota. Many Meota residents remember a time when the lake was flooded with sailboats from all over the province. Slowly but surely sailing is making a comeback. Meota Lakefront Paddle and Sail are working with Sask Sailing to offer sailing lessons in Meota from July 3 to 6. If you are interested you can find the registration information on the Sask Sailing website. We are hoping to have 10 participants. Instructors will be certified and we also have qualified assistants. It’s been a long time coming and our members are very excited that it’s finally happening this summer.
