984 miles
Jan 1 - Chaplin is
situated on the northern edge of Chaplin Lake, a huge salt lake where brine shrimp
thrive and shorebirds come from all over to eat them. The reserve is cited by the Western
Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network (WHSRN) as an area of “hemispheric
importance” for its abundant shorebirds.
In addition
to farming and ranching, the main industry of Chaplin is Saskatchewan Minerals,
which extracts the sodium sulphate deposits of Chaplin Lake for the manufacture
of detergents and in the Kraft process of paper pulping.
