When will the pelicans return to Saskatoon? If you think you have a good guess, Meewasin wants you to submit it for a chance to win some great prizes.

The contest, which opened on March 1 and runs until March 31 — or earlier depending on the arrival of Saskatoon’s first pelican — is asking residents to submit their best guess on when the first pelican will land between the CPR Bridge and the weir.

The pelicans have been regularly gathering by the weir from April through October since the late 1970s and their arrival is regularly thought to be a sign that spring has arrived in the city, Meewasin said in a statement.

According to Meewasin, in the last 20 years the earliest the pelicans have arrived was on April 4, 2012 at 7 a.m. and the latest they have arrived was on April 20, 2014 at 3:15 p.m.

Entry to the contest is free but is limited to one guess per person. You can enter online at meewasin.com
