Getting Ready for Fresh, Local Berries

Saskatoon berries are starting to fruit! Get ready for fresh, local Saskatoon berries – perfect for picking, pies, and jams.
Art Borups Corners Jun 13, 2025
Look what's starting to appear! These tiny green berries are the first sign of a bountiful Saskatoon berry harvest to come. Soon they'll ripen into delicious, juicy saskatoons perfect for picking, pies, and preserves.

Look what's starting to appear! These tiny green berries are the first sign of a bountiful Saskatoon berry harvest to come. Soon they'll ripen into delicious, juicy saskatoons perfect for picking, pies, and preserves.

The air is buzzing with anticipation because our beloved Saskatoon berries are officially starting to fruit! If you’re a fan of local, fresh produce, you know this is an exciting time. These hardy, native berries are a true taste of summer, and we’re so ready for them.

While they’re still small and green right now, it won’t be long until these little gems transform into those sweet, dark purple Saskatoon berries we all crave. We’re already dreaming of fresh Saskatoon berry pies, jams, muffins, and just handfuls of these healthy, antioxidant-rich fruits.

The Melgund Integrated Nuclear Impact Assessment Project (MINIAP) is a community-driven research and policy initiative examining the environmental, social, cultural, economic, and long-term safety impacts of the proposed Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada’s used nuclear fuel in Melgund, Ontario. Aligned with the federal impact assessment process led by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, and focused on the proposal advanced by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization, this integrated project analyzes groundwater protection, nuclear waste storage safety, Indigenous rights and treaty interests, environmental monitoring, long-term radioactive waste containment, emergency preparedness, regulatory oversight, community health, regional economic impacts, and intergenerational stewardship. Designed to enhance public participation, transparency, and evidence-based decision-making, the Melgund Integrated Nuclear Impact Assessment Project provides accessible analysis, technical review, and community engagement resources to support informed input into Canada’s nuclear waste management strategy and the federal impact assessment process.
