Santa and his elves were back in the Border City this weekend to help celebrate the 14th annual Here Comes Santa Claus Day. Although a tad cold, the lineup to get photos taken with Santa and The Grinch were to the road by 11 a.m. Luckily, there was hot chocolate served later in the afternoon. See Page 6 for more.
End of life Hospice on the Border within reach GEOFF LEE
WRITER
.................................. Dr. Raff Sayeed, a f o u ndi ng me mb e r o f the Lloydminster Concerned Citizens for Seniors Care Society, provided an update on a planned end-of-life hospice for the Lloydminster region. At Tuesday’s seniors’ meeting, Sayeed said he hopes
a proposed 10-bed hospice for Lloydminster and area residents could be shovel-ready before the end of 2022. Sayeed is a volunteer board member of the Hospice on the Border Society that expects to receive about $200,000 per bed in operating costs from the Government of Saskatchewan to move forward. “We are waiting for
the Saskatchewan government to give us the funding approval in their spring budget, said Sayeed. “I reported last week, we will be shovel ready in six months of the day we have approval.” The estimated capital cost of the hospice is between $5.5 to $6 million that would be raised by residents of Lloydminster and the
surrounding area. “We will have it complete within three years,” said Sayeed. The facility would be managed by the volunteer board and would augment healthcare in the region. “It will give dignity for people who are dying. In their last few days, they will die with dignity; they will die with their loved ones,”
said Sayeed. “They will die in a place that’s as close to their home as possible.” He noted a donor is set to provide the land in Saskatchewan if and when they get the operational funding from Saskatchewan. “The reason we chose a Saskatchewan location as opposed to Alberta is in Alberta, they only come up with
60 per cent of operating funding,” explained Sayeed. He said that would require the Hospice on the Border Society to raise operational funds every year. He says Saskatchewan will get a 50 per cent share of the operating costs from Alberta, the same way it’s done with schools. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

Cenovus selling assets for nearly $660M GEOFF LEE
WRITER
.................................. Cenovus Energy is selling its non-core Husky fuels network and conventional shale assets in Wembley, Alberta for nearly $66o million in cash proceeds. The two deals injected an early dose of good news for the company’s Investor Day held, on Wednesday, along with the release of their capital budget of $2.6-3 billion for 2022. Proceeds from the sale, announced on Nov. 30, will go toward reducing debt and supporting enhanced shareholder returns. “This is another demonstration of Cenovus delivering on opportunities to continue to optimize our portfolio and u nlock valu e from assets that will not attract significant investment in our busi-
HOSPICE FROM PAGE 1
Having the land donated will reduce the capital cost by roughly $500,000. Sayeed says the infrastructure plan is for 20 beds, starting with 10 in the first phase. “We also have a contingency that if the 10 beds are not used right away, we are willing to open two or three beds for respite, because there are no respite beds in Lloydminster,”
ness,” said Alex Pourbaix, Cenovus’s president and chief executive officer in a statement. The company has agreed to sell 337 gas stations in its Husky retail fuels network to Parkland Corporation and Federated Co-operatives Limited for total cash proceeds of $420 million. Cenovus is retaining its commercial fuels business, which includes approximately 170 cardlock, bulk plant and travel centre locations. This transaction is expected to close in mid-2022, subject to all closing conditions. Cenovus has also entered into an agreement to sell its Montney play assets in Wembley to an undisclosed buyer for cash proceeds of approximately $238 million. Total production from Montney averaged
approximately 3,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2021, with about 38 per cent oil and natural gas liquids. This transaction is expected to close sometime this month. Cenovus expects to realize more than $1.1 billion of total proceeds from all sales announced in 2021. In November, the company announced it reached its interim net debt target of $10 billion, along with doubling its quarterly dividend as of the fourth quarter of 2021, and a plan to repurchase up to 146.5 million of the company’s common shares. Proceeds from these latest transactions will advance net debt repayment towards the company’s longer-term target of $8 billion and enhance the company’s capacity to increase shareholder returns.
said Sayeed. All of the units are designed to have outside doors to accommodate beds to be wheeled outdoors during the summertime and be better protected from contagious viruses like COVID-19 from the inside. The plan also includes space for smudging for Indigenous peoples. Sayeed says two rooms will be built with special soundproofing
and extra ventilation if they want to do a little smudging or ceremony in the room. “We have a letter of support from Onion Lake and Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Mayor,” he said. “We have our ducks in a row, except our political ducks, we need some help.” Sayeed also stressed the board won’t be approaching the community for anything but capital funding.

.................................. You could sense the smiles behind the masks. A happy bunch of Lloydminster charity reps accepted early Christmas cheque donations from the fall Bordertown Harley Owners Group toy run on Dec. 4. Event co-chairs, Murray Getty and Chris Leibel, presented cheques to eight local toy-run charities at the Lloydminster Exhibition Grounds from the $63,885.24 raised during the Sept. 11 ride. Getty says it felt great to wrap it up just before Christmas. “We had a great year this year and exceeded all our expectations. It’s great to help out these charities coming close to Christmas and help families have a good Christmas,” said Getty. “I think the whole organizing committee is extremely happy with how things went this year.” Leibel notes this year’s toy run had a really good turnout. “It was better than we expected, being that
it was kind of a COVID year—just happy the way it turned out,” he said. He called it “heart touching” to present cheques to charities who are really in need this year. Jacqueline Weed, director of service delivery for Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Lloydminster was thrilled to accept a cheque for $21,425 to support their adult mentoring of children and youth and local school programs. “It’s fantastic. It goes a long way to supporting what we’re doing in the community with children and youth and creating the new matches and supporting them,” said Weed. She also invites people to drop by their office to sponsor strings of lights for their Light the Lights Christmas fundraiser, to be followed by their second annual activity challenge in the spring. “All money raised at BBBS goes towards local initiatives and finding matches for kids in our community,” explained Weed.

A proposed level of service study at the Lloydminster Municipal Airport by NAV Canada, originally scheduled for completion earlier this year, has been stalled indefinitely due to fallout from COVID. The Review of Air Traffic Service Requirements (ATS) is still active on NAV Canada’s website along with the study outline. “The scope of study was to assess the appropriate hours of operation of the Lloydminster Flight Service Station to support a safe and efficient operation,” said Jonathan Bagg director, stakeholder and industry relations in an e-mail last week. The review states the study “will determine the ATS and weather requirements at Lloydminster” along with formal stakeholder
File Photo consultation and recommended changes of services. “I can confirm that the aeronautical study for Lloydminster is currently postponed and no recommendations have been made as we currently focus our resources on supporting the sector’s recovery,” said Bagg. NAV Canada has far few workers today following job cuts last fall due to the impact of the pandemic on global air traffic and on the aviation industry. The Lloyd ATS study was supposed to start
in September 2020, be presented to Transport Canada for a safety review in February 2021 and be implemented after that. NAV Canada currently provides airport advisory and vehicle control service from the flight service station (FSS) in Lloydminster. FSS staff also conduct a surface weather observation program for 15 hours a day during daylight saving months. For the remaining hours of the day, there is an Aerodrome Traffic Frequency and an automated weather obser-
vation system providing aviation weather conditions. The Lloydminster airport also has a 24 hour per day Aerodrome Forecast along with weather cameras. Aircraft flights operating under instrument flight rules decreased 22 per cent from 201719, which was noted in the study background. During those years, combined flights using instruments and visual flight rules average between 9,100 to 12,000 a year, along with an increase in visual flight training.

.................................. Auctioneer Russ Copeland provided the live entertainment at th is y e a r ’s Rot a r y Club of Lloydminster Christmas dinner auction for charities. The owner of Copeland Auctions in Lloydminster wore a Stetson
and activated his auctioneer’s rap to help sell 18 items to Rotarians at the Legacy Centre Monday evening. The total pot of $2,895 will be split evenly between The Olive Tree and the Salvation Army to the delight of Rotary president, Tara Ferguson.
“We know they are in need more than ever and it will make a big difference to them. Anything we donate back is good,” said Ferguson. The event was also an opportunity for Ferguson to present Thorpe Recovery Centre board chair, Paul
Richer, with a donation of $250 for Thorpe’s Recovery Comfort Kits for clients in addiction treatment. Ferguson noted the club usually holds its Christmas auction during their lunch meeting, but the noon hour was time-crunched with members having
to go back to work. “We decided to do a supper meeting this year instead and have a little extra time,” explained Ferguson. Each year, the auction items are supplied by Rotarians or their businesses for any member to buy with the highest bidder claiming the goods. Copeland was invited by Mike Sidoryk to energize the suppertime sale with a live auction and he did with his fast-talking, animated style. “I can entertain if you like,” said Copeland, who started the auction by cracking a joke. He noted his company hasn’t done a lot of live auctions lately
because of the COVID virus. “We’ve been doing a lot of online business. In the future, we’re hoping this goes back and we get a bunch of live auctions in again,” he said. Despite the pandemic, he says it’s been busy enough, noting the winter is their slowest time of the year for all types of auctions they do. “When the spring rolls around, we get into our spring auctions —I’ve got two to three that I’m working on right now and hopefully, I have a good summer,” said Copeland. “We like to do a lot of the farm and commercial auctions.”

“It’s just so heartwarming; we’re able to help so many kids in need that can get into sports and do the things they love and keep them busy and active,” said Miazga. “Every year for many years, we’ve been very honoured and grateful to get the support of the border HOGS and the proceeds they give us. It’s one of our fundraisers that we get all year long.” She says the money goes
toward buying equipment and registration fees to get into the activities. Lynda Campbell, board treasurer for The Olive Tree, was also smiling underneath her mask with a donation of $1,800 in hand along with thoughts of the toy run. “It’s very humbling, actually, and we appreciate all the work that goes into something like this. All these groups in Lloydminster that have been positively
impacted—and it’s really a wonderful thing to see, especially this year, there’s a lot of need,” said Campbell. She says the funds will go towards their Gift of Christmas program for kids and food hampers for needy families at Christmas time. Donna Astley-Reed, integrated services coordinator, sexual assault services, was also in a festive mood accepting a donation for $1,800.
“We are so grateful for all the donations that we receive so at this time of the year; it’s super awesome to receive such a great donation,” she said. Astley-Reed says the money will go towards much-needed services for children and youth who have experienced sexual violence and helps with their programming. The toy run also presented $5,745.24 to 106.1
The Goat’s Christmas Wish, and $1,800 each to the Lloydminster public school and Catholic school divisions for their lunch and breakfast programs. An initial toy run cheque for $1,150 was presented the day of the event to the Protection for the Unprotected in Bonnyville for child abuse awareness. As for what’s next, Getty said, “We’re already prepping for next year.”

Thorpe part of treatment space doubling GEOFF LEE
WRITER
.................................. The Government of Alberta has currently funded more than 8,000 annual addiction treatment spaces, more than double its twoyear-old commitment to fund 4,000 spaces. The newly-funded treatment spaces available to Albertans include up to 574 spaces annually at Thorpe Recovery Centre, near Lloydminster. “This means 8,000 Albertans will now have the opportunity to seek treatment and enter recovery every year without having to pay privately for life-saving services,” said Alberta premier Jason Kenney in a live update from the Fresh Start Recovery Centre in Calgary on Dec. 4. Kenney noted publicly-funded addiction treatment is completely free for any Albertan. This was made possible when Alberta’s government eliminated daily user fees for all Albertans accessing publicly funded addiction treatment. Historically, Albertans were charged $40 per day for publicly-
funded residential treatment, a financial barrier that prevented many people from seeking help.

This means 8,000 Albertans will now have the opportunity to seek treatment and enter recovery every year without having to pay privately for life-saving services.
Both residential treatment and residential recovery focus on helping individuals improve all aspects of life that support longterm recovery. This includes improving physical and mental health, family and community connections, employment skills, housing stability and more.

Meili queries departure of SHA CEO
MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
Ryan Meili, leader of the New Democrat Party in Saskatchewan, thinks many questions remain unanswered regarding the reasons behind the sudden res-
ignation of Saskatchewan Heath Authority CEO, Scott Livingstone. Meili issued a news release on Dec. 6 asking why the news was not shared with the public for well over a week. Andrew Will has been
21122ka0
selected by the SHA board as the interim CEO. “The circumstances around this departure are highly unusual and the people of this province deserve answers from this Sask Party government,” said Meili. “This isn’t a simple staffing matter, as the premier has characterized it.” The SHA board issued a statement on behalf of its chair Arlene Wiks on Livingstone’s departure, posted on the SHA website on Dec. 2 “The board of directors has received notice that CEO Scott Livingstone has left his position effective immediately,” it said. “The board is grateful for Scott’s leadership during the creation of the SHA and throughout the
COVID-19 pandemic.” It went on to state “CEO, Scott demonstrated a commitment to patient and familycentred care and provided stability during a time of substantial change and significant pressures on the health system due to COVID.” Meili says the sudden loss of the SHA CEO while the province is still in the throes of a pandemic, with no succession plan or warning, raises some very serious questions around this government’s role in that departure. Meili notes the news follows the further loss of Suann Laurent, the chief operating officer of the SHA, a position that Livingstone also held in an acting role since her recent departure. The SHA’s executive leadership team reports to the COO. Meili says the loss of two of the most senior members of the SHA
NDP leader Ryan Meili. File Photo within weeks of each other raises serious questions and concerns a bo u t w h at p r e ssu r e th e se SH A e xe c u ti v e members were under. “The premier himself admitted he’d known about Mr. Livingstone’s departure from the role for over a week. So why was the news released more than a week after the premier had found
out, on a Thursday morning during Question Period? It reeks of political interference,” said Meili. He said the premier owes the public an explanation for this sudden change with potential major impacts on a healthcare system already struggling to provide timely access to care.

Tuesday was a very special day in the Border City as it marked the third annual Lloydminster Region Health Foundation’s Gift to Health Digital Stream fundraiser. This year’s funding supported the purchasing of some muchneeded diagnostic imaging equipment in the Lloydminster Hospital and the goal was set at half a million dollars. Now, I have called Lloydminster home since June of 2014, and if I’ve learned anything while living here, it’s the fact the community comes together and helps out when needed. If you told me a group of people planned on raising $500,000 in only 24 hours seven years ago when I moved to Lloyd, I’d probably call you crazy. But today, that wouldn’t be an outlandish statement, it would
be the truth. Last year’s Gift to Health saw local runner and great samaritan Mikey Dubs (Michael Welygan) run over 120km on a treadmill by himself and brought in $350,000 for the Health Foundation. This year’s run was a little different. In true Mikey Dubz fashion, one treadmill wasn’t enough, and there was more money to be raised. This year, Dubz, who ran 123.67 km this year, brought in 23 other local runners for the fundraiser. Each runner had his or her own treadmill and each runner pushed themselves, both mentally and physically, to see how far they could go. First off ... running for 12 hours? Yeah, OK Forrest Gump, sounds like a plan! I have never been much of a runner ... I prefer biking or swimming ... but to the 24 people who pushed and pushed and made it to the end of the 12-hour time limit, WOW! You should all be immensely
proud of yourselves, and the community should be immensely proud of you and the work you put it to better our local hospital. The group successfully raised over $500,000 and ran a total of 2,038 cumulative km. Again, I say, WOW! I even saw a number of runners posting on social media on Wednesday morning with their distance totals, and many of them surpassed two full marathons ... in one day! What an amazing way to celebrate the community. And to go back to my previous statement about how it would be crazy to raise $500,000 in 12 hours ... they call it Last Minute Lloyd for nothin’! Every time there is a need in this community, that need is satisfied, by this community. You’re there for one another, and that’s what I appreciate about you! Alright, Mikey, let’s see what you’ve got hidden up your sleeve for next year’s run. LET’S GO!

Leeway from Lloyd: Tapping into liquid gold STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE
Québec Maple Syrup Producers may hold the secret to supply chain issues. Who knew they actually have a strategic reserve to avoid any supply-demand imbalances most of the world’s imports and exports are experiencing due to COVID-19. We’ve all heard of oil and gas reserves, but few people have ever heard of maple syrup reserves that are being tapped this year. The organization explains when maple syrup exceeds demand, surplus maple syrup is
pasteurized, preserved in food-grade containers, and stored. Then, when it’s a poor harvest year, syrup in the reserve is made available to buyers. Voila! Producers are never out of stock and the market remains supplied. It also stabilizes prices caused by shortage or surplus, with syrup yields dependent on weather conditions. Maybe if other massproduced food products grown in Canada could be reserved in bumper crop years there might not be a shortage where they are needed. Quebec syrup producers tapped into reserves this year fol-
lowing banner production seasons in 2019-20 during ideal weather conditions. This spring was an average agricultural season for syrup, but worldwide demand has grown by more than 20 per cent, likely due to more people cooking at home during the pandemic. While Quebec produces about 73 per cent of the world’s maple syrup, some of the best syrup comes from St. Joseph Island near Sault Ste. Marie Ont. where I lived in the 90s. One year, I bought a few gallons of the stuff wholesale planning to sell it online to North
Americans on the old dial-up Internet as a home-based hobby business. I made heavy boxes to ship it with plans to scoot across the U.S. border to mail it to American customers. It wasn’t consid-
ered a food product back then, so no export permits were needed to sell it. I ended up consuming my entire supply of pancakes as dialup and payment technology was in the stone age.
Although it’s way pricier today, I still buy it, since nothing beats in on pancakes. It makes me feel like a king pouring liquid gold on my pancakes knowing there will never be a shortage!

It’s time to spread some Christmas cheer PRAIRIE WOOL HELEN ROW TOEWS
This time of year brings out the best in folks. We feel compassion and love for our fel low man, causing us to extend benevolence and charity above what we might have shown otherwise. I see it amongst the small-fry at my school too. For example, when the thoughtful mother of a Kindergarten boy brought in the equipment and ingredients necessary to help the whole class make cookie cut-outs, it was quite evident. Did kids push their way to the front of the line in order to be first? Nope. They dutifully washed hands and waited with shining eyes for their turn. How about when it came time to roll out the dough, was there
trouble in the ranks? Certainly not. Each child waited patiently for the rolling pin to arrive. Well, the word patiently might be a bit of an exaggeration, but they had to keep themselves busy somehow, for heaven’s sake! And happily, there was a sprinkling of flour on each table with which to busy themselves. They traced tiny fingers through the chalky substance making a variety of interesting tracks. This led to a large portion of the flour falling over the edge, pouring like a powdery white waterfall down pant legs and onto little shoes. But did that really matter in the larger scheme of things? Not a bit. What about icing the cookies once they were baked? Was there squabbling over who got which sprinkles to use, or whether red icing was yummier than
green? Never! There were plenty of sprinkles to go around. And I do mean plenty since, thanks to several rather heavy-handed applications, I trod on sprinkles for much of the day. Crunch, crunch. And, from the liberal smears of red and green food colouring on chubby cheeks, across masks and over small hands, I’d say both colours of icing tasted just fine. Besides, who doesn’t like two inches of frosting and a quarter cup of multi-coloured sprinkles on their cookies? I know I do. T h e y w e r e m a s t e rpieces fit for the finest pastry shops of Paris by the time those cookies were finished, and tiny faces filled with pride. That’s what mattered. Can we think of other acts of kind-heartedness we see at this time of year? Almost every day I read on our local
Facebook page where folks publically thank the anonymous people who bought their coffee, paid for their groceries, or generally helped out in a time of need. These acts of generosity, without seeking acknowledgement or thanks, restore our faith in the goodness of mankind. CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Minas, Brazil, has been riding bulls for 10 years now and always loves competing in the Great White North. “I’m very happy,” he said of the win. “I could not compete here for the last two years due to COVID, and this is very important to win the first event of the 2022 season; I’m very

I have gr e at f ans he r e (and it feels like a second home).” Gloria also pointed out how Canadians welcomed him with open arms from the get-go, which has helped him get to where he is today. “Like I always said, the opportunities I have in Canada, I never had those in Brazil, so that’s why this is so important to me,” he said. After going for Saturday-night rides on Boots and Ain’t About Fame, Gloria said he found the bulls “pretty good.” “Here in Canada they have so many bulls, right? At events like this, you see (everything) from young bulls to better bulls, or easier
bulls, but in general, it was a pretty good event in my opinion.” Smith, who is 20-years-old and hails from Abbey Sask, scored Saturday’s top score in Round 1 for 87 points atop Monkey
Dance before scoring 87 points in Round 2 on top of Eski Time. Gloria scored 85.5 points on top of Boots in Round 1 and score 85.5 points in Round 2 on top of Ain’t About Fame.

PBR Winter Classic brings baddest bulls to border
Taylor Weaver Meridian Source
The Lloydminster Exhibition was the place to be this past Saturday as the PBR Winter Classic rolled into town. The Winter Classic is the first event on the 2022 calendar for the cowboys competing in the Canadian Touring Pro Division, and brought 18 riders and a handful of stock to the Border City. Of the 18 riders currently competing in the touring pro division, there are 14 Canadians, two Aussies, one Brazilian and one Paraguayan. Not only did the event bring in bull riders and some world-class stock, but it also helped bring some much-needed excitement back to the Ex.

Sask/Alberta continue fight against Mountain Pine Beetle MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
The Government of Saskatchewan recently approved up to $1 million to fight the threat of mountain pine beetle in Alberta.
“
Recent studies have shown our joint efforts are working by significantly slowing the eastern spread of the mountain pine beetle.
This is the second year of a three-year agreement with the Government of Alberta to stop mountain pine beetles from spreading into Saskatchewan’s northern forests. “Recent studies have shown our joint efforts are working by significantly slowing the eastern spread of the mountain pine beetle,” said Environment Minister Warren Kaeding. “Renewal of this
agreement is a costeffective, proactive approach that will continue to control beetle spread in Alberta, and support our efforts to keep it out of northern Saskatchewan.” Renewal of the Alberta-Saskatchewan agreement builds on long-standing cooperation on forest insects and diseases and will support control efforts in areas of Alberta of most concern for the beetle’s eastern spread. Since the agreement began in 2011, Saskatchewan has invested nearly $7.3 million toward mountain pine beetle control efforts in Alberta. The mountain pine beetle outbreak in Alberta remains a significant threat to Saskatchewan’s northern pine forests, as well as the sustainable forest developments they support. The mountain pine beetle outbreak has killed approximately 55 per cent of the merchantable pine in British Columbia and has
File Photo spread across Alberta to within 40 kilometres of t he Saskat chewan border. Ministry of Environment surveys completed this fall have detected no mountain pine beetles in Saskatchewan’s northern forests. However, the ministries of Environment and Parks Culture and Sport work together to manage an established beetle population in the lodgepole pine forests of the Cypress Hills in the southwest.

MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND
I have always enjoyed spending time by the ocean. Maybe my fascination is because here in the midwest, we are landlocked, so the closest I get to the water is strolling along a riverbank or fishing on a local lake while the sea seems to go on forever. A few years ago, I jumped at the chance to join two close friends on a September sailing excursion to the Gulf Islands located between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia. What I didn’t expect was to learn several life lessons from the trip beginning with the moment we left the marina in Sydney, when it was announced by our Captain Jim that

Sailing through life
my colleague, Bert, and I were to be the only ones touching the wheel and sails of the good ship Harmony for the duration of the four-day adventure! Neither of us had a clue where to start with this 35’ vessel but there was only one way forward which to quote the 4-H slogan was to “learn to do by doing.” Jim prudently started our lessons by practising how to quickly turn a boat under sail around to pick up someone who fell overboard. I now understand why sailors fall in love with the sea; there are so many principles that simply apply to life in general. For example, if you want to get from point A to point B, you need to use breezes which more often than not is blowing in your face. In fact, if you are running with the wind, you
may need to trim your sails somewhat as the speed, although exciting to experience, can also be dangerous. So, to progress positively in the desired direction requires patience and planning made up of numerous zigs and zags, each designed to engage your sails with enough energy to propel you forward. This isn’t all to consider though, as underlying, unseen currents may be dragging you back or pushing you ahead onto rocks, shallows, or occasional reef. As a helmsman steering the boat, you really need to be alert to what is going on around you at the moment, and even though a craft under sail has the right of way in international maritime law, huge container ships bound for China, or a large car ferry would seem-
ingly sooner run you over than change their cruise path and go off schedule. I will always remember the afternoon a school of Pacific whitesided dolphins frolicked in our bow wave, or the escort a pod of killer whales gave us through a tight passage between two islands. Each night before we anchored in the shelter of one cove or another, we would drop a crab trap with a salmon head in it. While the briquets were firing up and approximately two cold refreshments later, the main course for our supper would be waiting for us in the water below. On the flight home, I reflected on how sailing is so much like life. To put your ship into the right harbour, you first need to know where the harbour is.
File Photo Very rarely can we achieve our goals without making constant adjustments in how we get there, plus embracing what seemingly is trying to push us back as a source of power available to us. While strong outside forces can drag you down, run you over, or propel you forward; you first need to acknowledge their presence then plan how to confidently overcome them.
And finally, Mother Nature is a great healer of the soul, and her beauty is free to all of us if we just take time to look around.

Investment leverages $170M to accelerate innovation MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
An investment of more than $22 million through the Alberta government’s Research Capacity Program will support research infrastructure and technology development at the University of Calgary. The Research Capacity Program funding will be provided to the University of Calgary over four years and will help build the facilities and infrastructure needed to support 11 research projects that will attract new talent and investment to the province. “(This) transformative research is the engine that will drive diversification forward and power Alberta’s economy for the future,” said Minister of Jobs, Economy and Innovation Doug Schweitzer. “This investment at UCalgary is key to fuelling the innovation Alberta is known for, and it will lead to the commercialization of new technology solutions that will grow our industries and create new jobs.” These projects are collaborative in nature and some involve
participation from researchers at facilities from across Canada.
“
Alberta’s government wants to promote research and innovation through our post-secondary institutions and this funding will help achieve that important goal.
The Alberta government’s investment in the University of Calgary leverages close to $170 million allocated for these projects across partner institutions, including the Canada Foundation for Innovation, other participating institutions, nonprofit organizations and industry collaborators. “This funding will leverage highly skilled talent, new p artnerships and additional investments to help the University of Calgary deliver groundbreaking research,” said Minister of Advanced Education Demetrios Nicolaides. “Alberta’s govern-
ment wants to promote research and innovation through our post-secondary institutions and this funding will help achieve that important goal.” The Research Capacity Program helps Alberta’s post-secondary institutions get the small equipment and large research infrastructure they need to attract, retain and develop researchers in the province. The research projects supported by this new
funding will span a variety of areas, including: - using MRIs to improve early detection and safe, targeted treatment of mental illness in children and young adults - enhancing research of infectious diseases, inflammation and cancer, and working collaboratively to develop next generation cancer cell therapies - studying cell-based regenerative therapies - conducting a longterm study on aging to
help improve quality of care - developing energy storage and conversion technologies for lowcarbon electricity and zero-emission vehicles and advancing innovative materials for clean energy technologies, vehicles, nuclear power plants, information technology and more - harnessing quantum computers to develop new advanced sensor technology for application in areas like navigation
- discovering new ways to diagnose and identify individuals most at risk of lung cancer related to radon exposure - advancing innovations in radio astronomy and developing receivers with commercial applications, such as in the upcoming 5G wireless networks - advancing our understanding of antimatter to enhance Alberta’s expertise in quantum computing
