In addition to the above game reserves, which include 

 altogether a total area of 3,825 square miles, there are a 

 number of reserves set aside chiefly as wild-fowl reserva- 

 tions, whose extent cannot be so accurately defined. These 

 are as follows: 



Wascana Game Reserve. — Comprising the waters of Was- 

 cana Lake and Creek at Regina. 



The Isle of Bays Reserve. — Situated in Lake Johnston. 



North and South Saskatchewan Rivers Game Reserve. — 

 This comprises all the land and lands covered by 

 water lying between the right and left banks of the 

 North and South Saskatchewan Rivers, respectively, 

 between the western boundary of the province and 

 the easterly boundary of township 49, range 22, west 

 of the second meridian, and all land lying within 200 

 yards of either bank of these rivers between the afore- 

 mentioned limits. 



Mr. F. Bradshaw, chief game guardian of Saskatchewan, 

 has correctly defined what the pohcy should be with regard 

 to game reserves. He says: "It is not enough, however, 

 simply to set aside vast areas for the purpose and then think 

 there is nothing further to be done. If the reserves are to 

 mean anything more than a mere enactment of the statutes, 

 they should be staffed by efficient resident game guardians, 

 whose duties should comprise not only the systematic patrol 

 of the reserves for the enforcement of the game-laws, but 

 also the work of destroying the vermin which preys upon 

 the game."
