environment canada issues : Here is the coded message:

U/1-4/1-17/1-1/H/1-17/1-4/1-1/1-7/I/10-9/1-4/3-40

10-4/5(3-39)/3-40/(3-1)3/3-40/5(3-39)2
5-14/(3-39)(3-39)4/3-40/(3-1)2/53(3-1)

Here is the key:

This parkland grove is dedicated to the memory of
Ukrainian Pioneers on the centennial anniversary
of their arrival in Alberta in September, 1891.

These hardy sons and daughters of the soil
favored lands which were covered with trees. To
these pioneers, treed lands meant fertile soil, a
source of construction materials, firewood, and
shelter from a cruel prairie climate. In the process
of developing their homesteads, the settlers cut
down many trees.

Now, one hundred years later, their descendants
wish to symbolically replant the trees which meant
so much to those early settlers. In doing so, they
hope to encourage Canadians everywhere to join
them in the spirit of “keeping Canada green by
preserving our forest and environment for future
generations.”

I was sure to hit “enter” everytime it goes to the next time. It was in all caps, so i didn’t bother with that.

Answer by Catherine
I’m not sure…

I tried the first line – the U/1-4/… one – by using the first number as the line, and the second number as the letter on that line, and it said Use The Stri_ (I don’t know how to do it when it isn’t in eg. 1-4 form).

Maybe try that?
