Over the weekend, a group of 17 medical students from the University of Calgary and Mount Royal College gathered in Viking for a special “Amazing Race” style event aimed at fostering interest in practicing medicine in rural communities.
Organized by the Attraction and Retention Committee, and in conjunction with Rural Health Professions Action Plan, the event introduced students to life in rural Alberta, highlighting the opportunities and rewards of working in smaller towns.
The students arrived on Friday, March 14, where they were hosted at the Viking Inn, a cozy accommodation that set the tone for a weekend filled with learning, exploration, and community engagement.
On Saturday morning, the students kicked off their experience at the Viking Hospital, where Dr. Kate
Overbo, along with a team of hospital staff, guided them through a tour of various hospital departments. Divided into small groups, the students got a firsthand look at how healthcare operates in a rural setting, gaining insight into the services offered and the close-knit nature of small-town medical teams.
After a catered lunch at the Viking Carena, the students participated in the Amazing Race Viking, an exciting event that took them on a series of challenges around the town. There were five different stops, each featuring a unique task that required teamwork, problem-solving, and physical activity.
One of the stops was at Viking School, where local farmer, brewery owner, and former CFL star Kevin Lefsrud welcomed the students. He shared interesting statistics about how many students from Viking go on to university and emphasized the strong sense of community support. The students’ task at this location was axe throwing, where they had three
chances to score points for their teams. Afterward, they had the chance to check out Lefsrud’s prized CFL Grey Cup rings and other championship rings from his illustrious career.
At the Community Hall, twin brothers Dr. Bryan and Dr. Glenn Nordstrom introduced the students to the art of team roping, while also painting a picture of life in a rural town. They discussed the ease of commuting to work (a mere five-minute drive) and the many activities and tight-knit community spirit. The students’ challenge at this station was to rope a bull in the shortest amount of time before moving on to the next location.

Medical students compete in Amazing Race Viking
Medical students from the University of Calgary and Mount Royal College, as well as other southern universities, participate in the Amazing Race Viking on March 15, 2025, during an event designed to encourage future doctors to consider practicing medicine in rural Alberta. The students explored local history, participated in hands-on activities, and toured Viking Hospital, learning about the benefits of rural healthcare.

The Station Gallery hosted two fascinating events. Amanda Nordstrom and Diane Hanson shared the cultural significance of trolls in Nordic history and the difference between trolls and gnomes. Students then crafted their own gnome ornaments as a keepsake from the event.
Afterward, Shawn Smith, a local C.N. historian, gave an informative session on the history of the C.N. railway and its impact on Viking. To progress to the next challenge, students had to answer trivia questions about the C.N. Railway.
The Viking Carena served as the next stop, where local hockey legend Darryl Sutter entertained students with stories about his family and the legacy of the Sutter brothers in the NHL. Chris Sutter and Todd Ritchie offered a fun, handson session, teaching students some basic stick-handling skills and challenging them to score three goals before they could meet Grace Sutter in the lobby. During an open Q&A, one student humorously asked Grace, “Which son is your favorite?” to which she chuckled and replied, “I wonder who told you to ask that?”
The final station in the Amazing Race Viking took students to the Viking Historical Museum, where Mike and Morgan Lawes gave an engaging history of the town. The students’ challenge here was to complete a scavenger hunt, finding specific items in the museum before receiving their final clue that led them to the Viking Medical Clinic.
The event culminated in a banquet at the Community Hall, where volunteers, students, and RhPAP staff gathered to enjoy food, drinks, and lively conversations. It was a chance for the students to reflect on their experiences and interact with local residents, gaining a deeper appreciation for rural life and healthcare in small communities.
On Sunday, the students were bussed to Tofield to continue their exploration, spending time in the hospital there and doing rounds, further immersing themselves in rural healthcare.
This unique event provided medical students with an up-close look at the benefits and challenges of rural living and practicing medicine in smaller towns. By offering them a chance to engage with local professionals, experience life in Viking, and explore the opportunities available in rural Alberta, the Attraction and Retention Committee hopes to inspire more future doctors to choose rural communities for their careers.

Unknown male reported on deck
On March 10, police received a complaint of a vehicle that was parked in a private parking lot for over three days. Police attempted to contact the registered owner but were unable to.
Members spoke with the caretaker of the building and learned the registered owner was a tenant.
That same morning, police received a complaint of the suspected misuse of a credit card at a business in Viking. The complainant advised a customer purchased over $4,000 in lottery and gift cards. The suspect made separate purchases entering the credit card into the machine manually each time. With the assistance of Leduc and Bonnyville RCMP a suspect has been identified and charges of fraud and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 are pending.
Later that morning, police responded to a residential alarm north of Holden. Members attended the rural location and nothing suspicious was noted. All the buildings were secure and no signs of entry to the property were found. The property owner was contacted and advised, it is believed that animals on the property set off the alarm.
That evening, police received a complaint of missing cans from a smoke shack at an adult living complex. The
complainant advised this is an ongoing issue and believes the cans are being stolen for the cigarette butts inside. There are no witnesses or suspects at this time.
Later that evening, police responded to a complaint of a suspicious person. The complainant advised an unknown male was walking around his deck pacing back and forth asking for the complainant’s neighbour. Members attended the rural location and made patrols looking for the suspect and vehicle but were unable to locate them.
On March 11, police received a complaint of harassing communication. The complainant advised an ex-partner was continually contacting her via text message and social media, and also driving past the residence. All parties involved were spoken to regarding their actions and they agreed to stop.
That afternoon, police responded to a complaint of dogs running along Highway 14 east of Viking. Patrols were made and the dogs were not located.
That evening, police received a request to assist with the retrieval of property. The complainant advised she was currently on conditions not to attend the location. She was requesting assistance from the police to retrieve her personal property. As
members were responding, a call was received that the complainant no longer needed assistance as she was getting assistance from a friend.
On March 12, police were approached by a minor inquiring about property that was being withheld by a guardian. The youth advised a guardian was withholding her identification. The youth was provided
with further information and advised to contact police if the identification is not returned.
On March 16, police received a complaint of an abandoned vehicle on Highway 857. Members contacted the registered owner who advised the vehicle had broken down and was in the process of having it retrieved.

Well no.
So the Trudeau Liberals are out and the Carney Liberals are in. That’s got to bode well for Canada …. Right?
Karma, karma, karma, Carney chameleon is more like a clone of Trudeau than a corporate banker.
He’s more of the Laurentian elite despite how often he claims to be an outsider from small town Alberta.
And as a chameleon, how often can we expect him to change his spots or his story?
Claiming to be an outsider, Carney has been a financial advisor to the Federal government of both stripes since the turn of the century.
For the last six months he had been advising Trudeau on his economic policies and when finally, Chrystia Freeland, the deputy prime minister and finance minister had had enough, she quit.
Apparently Trudeau, the producer of the Liberal passion play, wanted to rearrange his performers and put Carney in as finance minister.
Of course no one had asked Carney and he

quickly refused the appointment. But then Trudeau, seeing the writing on the wall, decided to step down.
A leadership was called and in blew Carney steamrolling any opposition that may have gotten in his way.
The Liberal establishment bowed at his feet.
Here was their man.
Former Governor of the Bank of Canada, former Governor of the Bank of England. Holder of directorships and chairman of numerous Bay St. financial institutions and a member of a number of pompous country club establishments that mere mortals like you and me could never darken the doorstep of.
But he romped to the top of the Liberal heap and last Friday he was anointed as our 24th Prime Minister.
Now he says an election will be forthcoming, possibly later this week, but first he had to jet off to Europe to meet with the King, the British Prime Minister, the French President and undoubtedly some of his buddies in the World Economic Forum.
Who knows, maybe he

even had a few minutes for his little green gal pal Greta Thunberg.
So will chameleon Carney be any different from the Trudeau government.
Not likely. He likes to talk differently.
He cancelled the consumer side of the carbon tax but did he promise to never bring it back or replace it with something equally despicable? No!
Did he find a Liberal to put in cabinet from Alberta or Saskatchewan? No! And don’t forget he claims to be an Alberta boy.
He shrunk the cabinet. So what.
Most of Trudeau’s cabinet ministers didn’t do anything but follow the script laid out for them by the Prime Minister’s Office.
He brought back Stephen Guilbeault, the eco terrorist who delighted in serving as Canada’s Environment. Minister under Trudeau.
Why? The man is a disaster, but now he is in charge of Canadian Culture and Identity, Parks Canada and is the Quebec Lieutenant.
He shouldn’t even be in the cabinet.
Why?
Freeland is back as transportation minister. Bill Blair, Kamal Khera, Jonathon Wilkinson, Patty Hajdu, Gary Anandasangaree, Rechie Valdez, Stephen McKinnon, David McGinty, Terry Duguid, Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Rachel Bendayan, Elisabeth Briere, Joanne Thompson, are all back in cabinet.
At least Anita Arcand, Melanie Joly, Dominic LeBlanc, and FrancoisPhillippe Champagne have been working to try and stifle the Trump tariffs tirade. They deserved to be back.
But it's just the same old recycled tire.
These are the front men and women who helped destroy our economy and our prestige on the world stage for the past nine years.
They happily went along with the Prime Minister of the day calling us all “systematic racists.”
And they’re back … where is there any change?
Carney just call an election.
We know you, like the chameleon, are just trying to change your colours for the upcoming election and Canadians can see through that facade!
Please disappear the way Micheal Ignatieff
disappeared. Somehow no matter what the outcome of the election I doubt we’ll see this “Alberta boy” in Alberta for anything but a quick election photo opp. And if this is a government on the move with a fancy new leader, with so many Liberals stating they won’t seek reelection, then why hasn’t one of them voluntarily given up their seat so karma karma karma Carney chameleon can sit in the House of Commons.
Inquiring minds what to know.

Viking Minor Hockey receives VCU Helping Hands Grant
Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter
Viking Minor Hockey Association was one of many organizations to have received funds from Vision Credit Union this year through their Helping Hands Grants Program for 2025.
Also receiving funding was the Innisfree Curling Club.
These organizations are among 40 grant recipients selected from across Alberta.
Vision Credit Union awarded a total of more than $250,000 to support capital projects that enhance rural communi-
ties in our branch network.
The grants provide up to $10,000 per project, helping community groups improve facilities, purchase essential equipment, and expand their impact.
“The Helping Hand Grant program is a testament to the strength of rural Alberta,” said Steve Friend, CEO of Vision Credit Union.
“These organizations do incredible work to support their communities, and we’re proud to give back in a way that helps them continue making a difference.”
Grant applications are
evaluated based on their benefit to people and the broader community, with selections made by a committee of Vision Credit Union’s leadership.
Since launching the program in 2023, Vision Credit Union has awarded over $630,000 in Helping Hand Grants, reinforcing its commitment to rural Alberta’s growth and success.
The successful organizations are in the process of meeting with their local branches to have an official photo taken with local Vision Credit Union staff.
Viking passes motion of intent to buy building
Patricia Harcourt Editor
Viking Council agreed to pursue the purchase of a property on main street at a special meeting March 11.
The building in question is located at 521350 Street and is commonly known as the Java building.
This building was owned and operated as Java Blossom by former Viking Mayor Laura Yakiwchuk. The property was eventually sold to Viking business man Kent Hafso.
Viking’s town office has been housed in the Viking Carena Complex ever since moving from the Civic building in the downtown area.
The current council has expressed strong interest in relocating back to the downtown for space and public accessibility reasons.
At the March 11 meeting, Council went into closed session citing Section 27 on Privileged Information - Land as part of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) Act.
Discussion took place for about an hour and a half before a motion by Councillor Judy Acres was defeated. The failed motion had called for administration to arrange a building inspection on 5213 50 Street.
A second motion by Councillor Dana
Ewashko requested administration to “prepare an offer to purchase the building owned by Kent Hafso at 5213 50 Street Viking Alberta for $50,000 subject to a building inspection.”
Ewashko’s motion passed unanimously.
A third motion also passed unanimously and was made by Mayor Jamie Buttner, which read: “That council will oversee the renovations for the office and work directly with Kent Hafso, the project coordinator.”
The current council has a narrow time frame for this undertaking as council is in its fourth year of a four year term with general municipal elections slated for next October.

Lower income families less likely to have regular doctor
Brett McKay Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Albertan children and youth from low-income households are 1.5 times less likely to have a regular healthcare provider, according to data from Statistics Canada.
Results from the Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth, provided by StatsCan to Great West Media, show about 10 per cent of children and youth aged 1 to 21 from households in the lowest income group don’t have a regular healthcare provider, compared to 6 per cent of kids from the highest income households.
A recent analysis of the survey results by StatsCan found that while disparities in access varied between

Since my last report we have celebrated our 75th anniversary with a noon lunch and an interesting and informative program. Thank you to all who attended and supported this group for volunteering for so many years in this community. We actually were a bit disappointed that the local groups that we have supported for many years did not come out and celebrate with us. So nice to see Royal Purple ladies attending from Edgerton, Camrose, Red Deer and a past member of Vermilion Lodge. Thank you to our special guests Mayor Jamie, MLA Jackie, county rep Dale and ARPA rep Esther Smith. Special thanks to our ladies for the presentations – Elehda for Grace, Jeanne for the lodge history, Creeann for tribute to Marj Hanson, Chris for tribute to Myrtle Ronaghan, Doreen for tribute to Vivian Gares and Jamie for tribute to Dawn. A huge thank you to Patricia at the Weekly Review for covering our event and for the wonderful coverage in the paper and for posting our advertisements. The local paper has been super for printing our updates for over 30 years and do a great job of it. I get lots of feedback from many people who read the write ups on a regular basis. It was wonderful to have our Life members of our lodge and CRPS – Gurene Hammer, Doris Arnett and Joan Fountain be part of the head table and for joining President Jamie in cutting the beautiful anniversary cake.
At our February meeting, we started planning our next fund raiser. No—you will not have to eat Hot wings – but take a try at Pie eating! The plans are not
provinces, differences between high- and low-income groups were more significant than other factors like level a parent’s level of education or rurality.
On average, 91 per cent of youth residing in rural areas of Canada and 92 percent of those in urban areas had a regular healthcare provider.
Access to a regular healthcare provider is also shown to decrease as a child ages. All but six per cent of kids aged 1 to 4 had a regular healthcare provider, but this amount nearly doubles to 11 per cent for youth aged 12 to 17.
About 15 per cent of adults in Alberta don’t have a regular healthcare provider, which can include family doctors, general practitioners, nurse practitioners, and medical specialists.
In Alberta, the top three reasons given for why a
child or youth doesn’t have a regular healthcare provider are because no one in the area is taking new patients, no one in the area is available, and their previous provider has left or retired.
Research has shown having a consistent primary care provider allows health professionals to build a better understanding of a patient’s medical history, and improves prevention, detection, and early treatment of illness or health problems.
Barriers to receiving consistent and timely care “are especially concerning for children and youth, who require a strong primary care foundation for healthy development and overall physical and mental well-being. Early and consistent access to health care helps ensure that children and youth grow up with the support they need for a healthy future.”
after 75th anniversary
set yet – but we think we will have two groups of hungry sweet eaters – 16 and under and 16 and over. We have discussed the pies and will probably be whipped cream and pudding type pies. A timed event. Prizes. But we are looking to the groups that we have donated to for the support and bringing in the eaters and getting lots of pledges – so we have lots of money to give back. At the moment we are planning to donate to around 15 local groups. Is your group one of them?
President Jamie has been chatting with Ag Society chair Kerri and we hope to run it one day of the chuckwagon races in early July. Lots more information to follow.
Next up was our March meeting. Thanks to the Senior Centre executive we have been able to switch our winter meetings to Sunday afternoon, to avoid winter type driving for several members. We plan to be part of their garage sale in May. They certainly are an active group! At this meeting the nominating committee brought in the slate of officers for the next term. To bring enthusiasm and change to our group, everyone but the president changed chairs. And we have brought back committees to plan all of our events. This year we are planning the senior garage sale, Royal Purple Day at Extendicare and Vialta, pie eating, registration at Carena, Halloween on the street, Zombie Walk, festival of trees and our regular meetings that interested people are invited to join. April meeting is installation of officers, with a pizza supper before the meeting and back to 7 p.m. time. A cheque will be presented to the Ladies Night Out Event, as they are in our new budget, that was brought to the
meeting. Jamie, Dawn and Creeann had attended the Myrnam Royal Purple 65th anniversary. It was a great afternoon. Lots of visiting from members of Royal Purple Lodges from Camrose, Edgerton, Vegreville, Viking and Myrnam. We have all missed our regular visits since the Covid years. Nice to get back together to see everyone!
A list of officers will be printed in next month’s update. Enjoy the spring time weather and pray that March does not go out like a lion.

ASB reviews past year of projects
Patricia Harcourt
Beaver County’s Agriculture Service Board (ASB) annual report is a summary of its accomplishments and projects completed last year. It includes landflood and overland drainage information.
A synopsis of the report stated that 226 beavers were culled under the category of “problem beavers.”
As another way of controlling beaver last year a beaver dam blasting project was initiated. As well, there were 99 (beaver tail) submissions under the Beaver Control Incentive Program.
Also there was licensed drainage ditch maintenance done and over 20 illegal drainage issues were investigated.
Five weed and pest inspectors were approved for work last year.
Herbicide applications included 1,200 miles of roadside brush control and 1,025 miles of road-
side weed control, which included spraying in 10 subdivisions.
There were 90 yard site applications treated for brush, 90 brush treatments done at county intersections, and 40 custom spraying projects.
The weed inspectors dealt with 29 compliance cases, two community advisory cases and inspection collaborations done with CN Rail and provincial highways.
Also conducted were 40 insect population surveys on the Bertha Army Worm, Grasshoppers and Wheat Midge. There were also 185 Clubroot inspections completed.
And the county is participating in the Provincial Wild Bore Monitoring Program.
The ASB launched a tree health check program, and an environmental farm plan review and approvals.
Also provided was an ASB Scholarship, Farm Family Award, an AAAF Bursary and educational opportunities for landowners.
Workshops and educational events provided last year included Working Wells, All About Trees and participation in the Tofield Career Fair.
Agriculture related inquiries and program supports involved soil and animal health, weed and pest management and horticultural extension.
ASB was also busy partnering with the Battle River Research Group, Alberta Invasive Species Council, Association of Alberta Agricultural Fieldmen, and the North Saskatchewan and Battle River watershed alliances.
The ASB does its work in conjunction with the county’s agricultural fieldman involving “various agricultural support and legislative tasks in 2024,” stated the report.
The ASB must provide a summary of its activities to Beaver County Council as per provincial legislation.
Tofield granted ACP funds in partnership with county for stormwater project
Patricia Harcourt
The Town of Tofield has been awarded an Alberta Community Partnership (ACP) grant for partnering with Beaver County on an important initiative for the town.
A grant of $120,000 was awarded for 2024-25 in support of a Stormwater Flooding Risk Mitigation with the funds earmarked for establishing an action plan for the overall project which would come later.
The funds are coming through the Intermunicipal Collaboration portion of ACP.
“This approval does not signify broader provincial support for any recommendation or outcome that might result from your project,” stated Ric McIver, Minister of Municipal Affairs.
As the Town of Tofield’s ACP partner, Beaver County Council was informed of the funding being granted to the town.
McIver explained in his letter of congratulations to the town that the ACP program “encourages strengthened relationships between municipalities and cooperative approaches to service delivery.”
He added that, “By working in partnership with our neighbours, we create opportunities that support economic development and job creation.
“Together, we help build vibrant, resilient communities for the benefit of all Albertas.”
The minister also encouraged the municipalities involved to invite provincial officials to any milestone events taking place including the ACP grant.
“The government of Alberta looks forward to celebrate your ACP funded project with you and your municipal partnership,” he stated.
He stated that a grant advisor would be available “to discuss possible activities or events to recognize your ACP achievements.”
A similar ACP grant was awarded to the Town of Viking to undergo a feasibility study for a stormwater project in that community.
Both communities with Viking at the county’s east end and Tofield in the western end have had flooding concerns after experiencing heavy rainstorms.
Viking completed a stormwater project to mitigate its flooding concerns in the last couple of years.

MLA Lovely addresses county’s hospital supply concernsincludes list of repairs for hospitals in Tofield and Viking
Patricia Harcourt
Beaver County previously provided hospital foundations in Tofield and Viking with each group’s annual grant. The total of $20,000 is divvied out based on the populations in each half of the county.
While the county didn’t question the good work being done by these non-profit organizations, councillors did express concern that hospital supplies were being provided by the foundations that they felt ought to be supplied by the province in its health care capacity.
It was decided to send a letter to Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely questioning why items the foundations are buying for their hospitals were not vital enough to be automatically provided by Alberta Health Services (AHS).
The MLA replied with a letter which read in part: “Alberta Health Services has a process that allows health facilities to create purchase requisitions for equipment replacements within their own budget. For equipment valued over $50,000, grants are allocated annually through the Medial Equipment Replacement and Upgrade Program and internal capital grants, prioritized based on zone and program needs. Equipment that costs less than $5,000 must be purchased using the health facility’s operational budge.”
Lovely went on to explain that last year’s provincial budget allocated $65 million to the Rural Health Facilities Rural Revitalization Program
The program was designed “to deliver smaller strategic projects and renovations in rural health facilities across the province,” she stated.
An additional $512 million was also included in the Capital Maintenance and Renewal (CMR) program over a three year period.
CMR was put in place “to protect the integrity of eligible health facilities across the province through repair, replacement and maintenance,” Lovely stated.
The Tofield Health Centre is approved for several small preservation CMR to enhance the facility’s reliability,” she said,” and address critical maintenance needs.”
The work includes replacing a failing heating water cushion tank, repairing elevator sump walls to prevent groundwater entry, and replacing sections of the roof.
The Viking Health Centre is also approved for replacing of its building management control system through the CMR program.
While passing the annual grant to each of the two foundations county council questioned their having to purchase medical equipment that AHS should be responsible for procuring.
At the November 20 meeting of council last fall, discussion broke out following the motion made under the Health Foundation Support Policy giving $13,200 to the Tofield and Area Health Foundation (66 per cent of the county population in Beaver County West) and $6,800 (34 per cent of the county population in Beaver County East).
The foundations get part of the funding based on their population in the county.
The issue was brought up by Councillor Lionel Williams of Division 2 who felt some items purchased by the foundations for their hospitals should be paid for by AHS.
At the time, he listed items purchased by the Viking foundation and stated: “Some of that stuff sounds medical. That should be supplied by AHS,” he said.
He felt that the county could advocate that medical supplies should be the responsibility of
the province, and the funds the county gives them could “go for other things.”
Councillor Dale Pederson of Division 5 explained that the items purchased are not “required” but are of benefit to patients.
A motion was passed to send a letter to MLA Lovely. In support of the motion, Councillor Barry Bruce of Division 4 spoke of downloading by the province for medical equipment needs onto foundations such as Tofield and Viking.
Bruce gave the example of respirators that can adjust to the breathing needs of each patient that he said should be “standard equipment in a hospital as they are in EMS vehicles.” Instead Bruce said funding has to be found outside of AHS.
MLA Lovely replied to the county’s November letter on February 6, explaining she had taken the time to consult with “my colleague,” Health Minister Adriana LaGrange.
In her reply to council, Lovely failed to speak to the particular issue regarding the need for foundations to raise funds for extra or upgraded equipment in their facilities. Instead, she explained the funding formula and the province’s programs initiated to refocus health care. As well, Lovely elaborated on information gathered at recent engagement sessions held with foundation leaders last fall.
“Foundations provided us with valuable insights about their priorities and challenges,” she stated.
The eight sessions were held across the province as part of the government’s health care system refocusing initiative.
“We are committed to continuing this conversation with foundations as we work together to strengthen health care for all Albertans,” she said. More information on upcoming public engagement sessions are listed on the website.

Province urges public to prevent spread of measles
Anna Smith Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
With measles cases increasing globally, the government of Alberta is asking residents to familiarize themselves with symptoms to protect themselves and reduce the spread.
As of March 13, health officials have confirmed six cases of measles in the province. While it is noted that the cases are
from a single household, the province expressed concern regarding how contagious the disease is.
“Measles is not just a mild childhood illness – it is a serious, highly infectious disease that can have devastating consequences,” said Dr. Mark Joffe, chief medical officer of health. “Thankfully, we have a highly effective vaccine with a longproven track record of safety. Everyone should take the time to check
their immunization record to ensure they are fully immunized. No one should have to endure the consequences of a disease we can prevent.”
The province continued that people born in or since 1970 who have received fewer than two doses of measles-containing vaccine are susceptible to infection.
Those susceptible who are pregnant, under one year of age, or have a weakened immune sys-
tem are at most risk of complications from measles.
Symptoms of measles include a fever of 38.3° C or higher, a cough, runny nose or red eyes and a red, blotchy rash that appears three to seven days after fever starts. This rash typically begins behind the ears and on the face and spreads down the body.
“If symptoms of measles do develop, individuals are advised to
Pesticide use on canola and effect on bees being studied
Shaynee Modien Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
A two-year study on honey bee health in colonies placed on canola fields is nearing its completion, yielding positive results for those involved.
The University of Saskatchewan's Western College of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Pathology, Honey bee health lab, initiated the study in 2023 to investigate the effects of pesticide use in Canola production and its effects on the health of honey bees.
With nearly 800 species of bees in Canada, this crucial study was undertaken in the heart of Canada's top honey and Canola-producing region.
Two researchers from the University of Saskatchewan, master's student Emilio Tellarini Prieto and post-doctoral fellow Marcelo Camilli, shared their findings this month.
"There are two major effects of pesticides on honey bees," they explained. "The first is lethal, causing direct colony collapse, and the second is sub-lethal, which is not so obvious to detect, affecting colony normal behaviour and impacting, for example, the honey production."
The researchers emphasized that growers usually apply pesticides
at optimal times of the day when the honey bees are not foraging, and, the honey production in their research hives continued to thrive alongside Canola crops, suggesting that pesticide levels are in a safe dose-range for the honey bees.
In the fall, the researchers relocate their hives to the university research apiaries (bee yard)
for overwintering, where they wrap the colonies to retain heat and support their survival through the winter.
A final assessment of bee winter survival is expected soon. While the 80-colony study was primarily conducted in the central region of the province, the findings offer hope for farmers in other parts of
Saskatchewan, including the southwest.
A final report on the Honey Bee and Canola crop study is expected by the end of summer 2025. In addition to studying the effects of pesticides on honey bees, the researchers are also investigating their impact on other wild pollinators, such as wild bees and butterflies.
LEAD GRAIN BUYER
stay home and call Health Link at 811 before visiting any health care facility or provider, including a family physician clinic or pharmacy,” said the province.
Albertans uncertain of their immunization history, or their child’s immunization history, can text “vaccine record” to 88111, call Health Link at 811 or their local public health office.
