Rotary digitally connects Pioneer seniors GEOFF LEE

WRITER

..................................

Senior residents at Pioneer Lodge and House are breaking through their COVID19 isolation bubble with digital technology.

They are using Apple iPads to reach out to friends and family on Facebook and Fire TV Sticks for internal entertainment, purchased with a $6,066.64 matching

grant from the Rotary Club of Lloydminster and District 5370.

“It helps bring a little bit of the old Pioneer back again—that feeling of community and being with peers and enjoying

things together,” said facility administrator Joyce Bell.

“It has alleviated some of that isolated feeling.”

Pioneer’s office manager and IT guru, Les-

lie Lorenz, and HR coordinator, Krista Reid, are expected to make a Zoom presentation to Rotary this month on the impact of the new technology.

It was put to the test

during the Christmas holidays with betterthan-expected results.

“The impact it has had on our residents has been phenomenal,” said Bell.

Malcolm Radke, CEO of the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation, teamed up with Rotary Club of Lloydminster president, Darryl Benson, to present a cheque for $6,066.64 to Pioneer Lodge for the purchase of iPads for seniors to communicate with loved ones during the pandemic. The fund is a matching 50/50 Rotary district/club COVID-19 grant.

“The very bleak holiday season they were expecting certainly wasn’t half as bad, as they were able to reach out to so many family and friends using technology.”

Bell says the technology has allowed Pioneer to be able to include the residents as a group again.

It allows residents to stay in their safe zone and turn on their room

TVs or go to a common area and socially distance while enjoying a live performance taking place in another part of the complex.

“We even play bingo now and people stay in their room. It’s done in real time,” said Bell.

The idea was the brainchild of the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation with the Rotary club providing the financial assistance.

“They (Rotary) are

the heroes here and they have impacted the lives of our residents.

It gives us a little bit of normalcy,” said Bell.

Pioneer purchased seven iPads, a set of Fire Sticks for wide screen TVs in the care wing, and a Facebook portal for residents in both wings to access.

Bell says recreation staff helped to set it up with many residents quick to learn how to use the iPads.

Green buildings come in a bottle

Jean Marc D’Entremont, owner of Ecoplast Solutions, stands in front of one of his custom-built sheds assembled with structural insulated panels made with a core material of 100 per cent recycled plastic bottles.

..................................

There’s a new manufacturer in Lloydminster using recycled plastic bottles as a building block for a greener construction industry in Western Canada.

E co pl as t S o l ut i ons makes customized structural insulated panels with a core foam material of 100 per cent recycled plastic bottles that are bonded to fibreglass skins.

Company owner, Jean Marc D’Entremont, says the composite panels are ideal for residential and commercial construction, or any standing structure that needs to be solid.

“We’re putting out different designs that can’t really be attained by standard construction,” he said.

The innovative panels are a new application for high-quality polyethylene terephthalate (PET) made from plastic bottles.

The PET foam panels produce a building system that is extremely strong, energy-efficient and cost-effective, and can create different architectural shapes by thermal-forming.

“With our composite technology, you can achieve those exclusive demands a lot easier and (they) are more feasible as far as designs for rooftop decks and other neat things go,” said D’Entremont.

“We’re kind of pushing that to the customer to make sure they can see what they can have with our product. We think our product is a good market fit.”

BUILDING OR RENOVATING? We have it all!

Hardwood, laminate, carpet, tile, luxury vinyl plank, lino and all types of natural stone. Installation available.

We are also an ICC member for insurance claims.

2501 - 50 Ave., Lloydminster (306) 825-7847

The company opened its manufacturing facility at 4604-62 Ave, last summer with the hottest product to date being ice fishing shacks.

The demand is also building for their C-Cans and utility sheds with housing being the ultimate purpose.

“With any start-up, it takes a while to get your name out, but we’re looking at building three or four houses or cabins this summer, so that will be a pretty good project for us,” said D’Entremont.

The recycling aspect of the business is also attracting attention to the company.

“We’re putting these bottles that would just be going into landfills or the oceans to something that benefits the environment and the consumer,” said

D’Entremont.

There are about 52,000 recycled bottles in the panels of the company’s new rental cooler trailers for the restaurant market, and many more in their mainstream building panels.

“People are super interested in the green piece. Anything to do with recycling, people just want to do better for the environment, so I think people really respect our concept,” said Ecoplast’s public relations manager Rikkea Rogers.

The foam panel material itself is also 100 per cent recyclable to add to its green niche.

“Once they see the benefits of the product, it’s pretty eye-opening for some people,” said Rogers.

The panelled mobile coolers, for example,

are proving to be business-savers for restaurant owners when their

refrigeration systems break down.

Sask amends public health restrictions MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

..................................

With Saskatchewan g e ne r ally e xp e r ie ncing a declining trend in confirmed cases and hospitalizations due to COVID-19, the public health order is being amended to ensure residents who continue to observe all public health measures can extend their household ‘bubbles’.

Effective Tuesday, March 9, individual households may create a ‘bubble’ up to a maximum of 10 individuals

in a home at any one time.

The 10 individuals should be from two to three consistent households.

The total number in the gathering cannot be more than 10.

You must be consistent in your household bubble: the bubble of 10 is always the same individuals, from the same households.

You may not join multiple bubbles.

Assess the overall risk of COVID-19 before joining house-

holds.

Does this household have a senior at elevated risk? Children attending school?

Adults working outside of the home in essential workplaces?

Can you still count all the potential contacts that household makes, in the event that a contact investigation must be done?

If the risk of potential transmission remains high, consider another household or remaining within your household.

If you are 50 years old or greater, consider keeping your contacts to your household only until you are able to be vaccinated.

You must still follow all public health guidelines when outside the home – including the limit of 10 people at outdoor gatherings – and plan to be vaccinated when you are eligible.

Details on the current public health measures are available at www.saskatchewan.ca/ covid19-measures.

breaks.

“There are no studs, so you don’t lose any energy,” said D’Entremont, adding they also eliminate the need for insulation and a vapour barrier to save time and money.

“With our product, you don’t need to put any shingles on the

roof,” he said.

An Ecoplast crew can quickly assembly panels for a house using a unique bonding process.

The panels also provide superior integrity that allows the building to be lifted and moved with a crane.

Ecoplast acquired the distribution rights to the panels in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia from Armacell, a leading manufacturer of PET foams for the composite industry.

They are also partners with JD Composites, a sister company in Nova Scotia making similar products.

D’Entremont was a former oil patch employee who launched Ecoplast as an employment opportunity during the downturn.

“I knew one of the founders back east and just figured it was a pretty neat idea and quite forward-thinking and was something we could start out here,” he said.

Ecoplast offers product pick up and delivery and currently employs nine people including D’Entremont.

“In Edmonton, they are really hard to rent because they are in high demand,” said Rogers.

The PET panels for construction are touted to be about 25 per cent more efficient than conventional composite sandwiches because there are no thermal

It’s St. Patty’s Day, everyone’s Irish tonight

File Photo TAYLOR WEAVER

EDITOR

..................................

You can still see who can drink Guinness the fastest through a straw and roll a head of lettuce across your kitchen floor, but you get to do it from the comfort of your own home as the Border City Rotary Club presents Irish Pub Night, COVID style.

Last year’s event was forced to be put on hold due to the pandemic, but Karla Furman, Border City Rotary president and Irish Pub Night organizer, can’t fathom seeing the event be forgotten.

With this in mind, also remembering Irish Pub Night is Border City Rotary’s biggest fundraiser of the year, the club decided this year’s event would be a drivethru supper, and is taking place this Sunday.

“This year we’re keeping it very simple, and of course abiding by all of the public health rules and regulations, and just making sure that our members feel comfortable too,” she said. “We have to take all of that into consideration. Everybody has their comfort levels with COVID and what they’re comfortable doing, so we’re doing a drive-thru supper.”

Furman explained this will be the club’s “simplest” Pub night to date, but everyone is still getting quite excited about it.

“You buy your tickets ahead of time, pick your time slot for when you’d like to pick up your food, show up, your food is then dished up, hot out of the buffet table the Ex is putting together for us, and it’s then brought right to

your car,” she said.

“We’re going for minimal contact. Of course, it would be nice to gather, but there are just so many rules. Irish Pub Night is supposed to be fun and energetic, and people are supposed to be dancing and having a great time. To tell people they have to sit in their seat, eat their food and mingle with those at their table, it’s really hard.”

Despite not being able to host the biggest Irish party in the Border City this year, Furman is still looking at the brighter

side of things.

“It feels good to still be able to host some form of Pub night,” she said. “It’s hard for myself personally to sit idle, and I’m pretty sure I drive the Rotarians crazy with all of my ideas, so this year has been tough me for to just sit back.

“I was very excited when everyone agreed we should do Irish Pub Night.”

Local Rotarians continued to do as much as possible for the community during COVID as Furman explained Bor-

der City Rotary and the Rotary Club of Lloydminster is also teaming up and volunteering at Mount Joy Snow Resort this weekend.

“We’re the weekend sponsors for skiing this weekend, so we’ve got a lot going on,” she said. “It’s nice to be active, finally. It feels like it’s taken a little bit of encouragement, but we just wanted to make sure we were doing this safely and by the rules.”

Meals can be picked up at the Lloyd Ex between 4-7 p.m. and menu items include roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, a veggie medley consisting of cabbage, peas and fried onions, tossed salad, and for dessert, chocolate mint cheesecake.

Plates are $22.23 including tax and the best way to pre-purchase your plate is through the fundraiser’s eventbrite page, https://bit.ly/30sWu79

The Lloydminster United Way is giving the Lloydminster Public School Division (LPSD) way more than food for thought with a donation of $10,000.

Their donation, made in a cheque presentation on March 4, will go towards the LPSD’s nutrition program.

LPSD wellness and nutrition coordinator Sarah Paterson says they will use the funds to purchase fresh fruit, vegetables, whole wheat grains and bread, dairy, and lean protein for its breakfast program.

“Students who access our breakfast program receive a nutritious me al th at h e l p s p r e pare them for the day ahead and gives them

a readiness to learn,” said Paterson.

She says the number of students who participate in the LPSD nutrition program has been steadily increasing this past year.

“Every donation from our community partners, local businesses, and community members has helped us to meet the needs of our students and their families,” said Paterson.

Kemp kids befriend SPCA

The Lloydminster and District SPCA is putting pet food and cat litter on its next shopping list.

The priority purchase will be made with a $300 donation from Grade 4 students at Jack Kemp Community School that caught SPCA executive director, Danika Bodnarchuk by surprise on March 5.

“We’re so excited and so grateful that they’ve been able to provide us with something that will allow us to care for these animals,” said Bodnarchuk “Obviously, it’s fantastic to see young people in our community stepping up and wanting to make a difference for the animals.”

The money comes from the sale of friendship bracelets students

made with five-finger weaving for Indigenous arts and crafts.

“They really liked it and they decided they wanted to do a fundraiser for the SPCA,” said their teacher Stephanie Groat.

“They starting selling to their friends then we decided to sell them as a whole school for antibullying (pink shirt) day.”

Team work was the order of the day for Eco9 students at E.S. Laird Middle School, who took part in a STEM challenge to build a working level crossing signal or a lift bridge.

WRITER

..................................

Eco9 students at E.S. Laird Middle School may be having too much fun learning science, technology engineering and math, called STEM education.

About 19 students in Shaun Donald’s class got to build working level crossing signals and lift bridge systems during a full-day STEM challenge last Thursday.

Donald called the event “the moment of truth” to test the students’ computer coding and construction skills using materials like wiring and electronics along with paper, popSPCA FROM PAGE 7

Students used different materials and techniques to also make loom bracelets and beaded bracelets.

“It went really well; they had a lot of bracelets to make,” said Groat.

They sold more than 400 bracelets in all in for what a student named Keyarra says was a great cause.

“It was a lot of fun making the bracelets and helping the SPCA

sicle sticks, straws, tape and glue guns.

“We’ve spent the last two weeks with the students learning to do all the coding. Today, they are in groups of three working on the challenge together,” said Donald, who had to learn coding himself.

It was coincidental for the project to occur during Engineering and Geoscience Week in Saskatchewan, with a handson approach to learning the building blocks of these professions.

Donald says the coding fits into the school’s math and science programs with wiring and electrical circuits, while

construction fits into their industrial arts program.

“Most importantly, they are learning how to do some critical thinking and problem solving,” he said.

“They’ve got all the skills and now they’ve just got to realize how to bring those skills together to solve a problem they’ve never seen before.”

The students prepped for the challenge by learning six coding lessons through SaskCode using small Arduino boards with micro-controllers to build digital devices.

because all of us love animals very much,” she said.

Bodnarchuk says the school donation is timely, with an expected spring influx of kittens and puppies at the shelter.

“We are excited to put that towards food or litter for the cats and basic care in spaying and neutering. It will go a long way in helping us,” she said.

Another student, Ella, says she made some rainbow loom brace-

lets and was glad to sell them for the SPCA too.

“It feels pretty awesome,” she said, noting she loves dogs and would love to adopt another animal one day.

There are no dogs up for adoption right now, but Bodnarchuk says there are quite a few cats waiting to be spayed and neutered to find their forever homes.

“We have two rabbits available for adoption on-site and two at Pet Valu,” she said.

essary documents, was approved.

In addition, Council approved a contingency allowance of 15 per cent in the amount of $272,000, excluding GST, to be allocated from the 2021 Capital Budget Project No. 2113601.

The project is needed due to the age, condition, and capacity of existing municipal infrastructure.

Administration must continually remove, replace, and upsize existing infrastructure (i.e.,water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer mains) to maintain adequate levels of service for residents and businesses.

The Water and Sewer

Replacement Program (WSRP) is an annual program intended for replacing and upgrading aging municipal infrastructure.

This year’s program is to upgrade and replace the City municipal mains that were installed prior to and around the ‘50s, while also improving the roadway and other surface conditions on 50 Street between 52 Avenue and 54 Avenue.

like trying to figure out what to put in and how it moves and stuff,” said Creston.

“When you get a handle on it, it turns out pretty easy.”

Creston’s teammate, Macin Nixon, got to assemble the construction pieces once the coding was done, keeping in mind the wiring and electronics.

“I made the actual train tracks and the actual models of the build and how we would put it together,” said Macin.

“I used popsicle sticks and cardboard

and a bit of tape and a bit of hot glue.”

He also made it with room for the electronics to pass through, calling the day’s work great.

“I like it a lot; it’s something to do all day.

It’s working with classmates and team bonding,” he said.

He is also working on coding a car as part of the school’s “passion” project.

Students will have new STEM challenges to work on in the coming weeks based on the Association of Professional Engineers and

LGGC Upgrade During Monday’s meeting, Council also awarded the Lloydminster Golf Course Irrigation System Upgrade Phase 3 contract to Double D Industries Ltd. DBA

Aqua Lawn Sprinkler of Mission, B.C. in the amount of $556,475, plus GST, including a five per cent contingency allowance in the amount of $27,823.75, plus GST, to be allocated from the 2021 Capital Budget Project No. 2173106.

Phase 1, Phase 1.1 and Phase 2 of the Lloydminster Golf and Curling Centre (LGCC) Irrigation System upgrades were completed in 2019 and 2020. Phase 3 is the final phase for the replacement of the LGCC Irrigation System that has exceeded its life expectancy.

The irrigation system for the Lloydminster Golf Course was

originally designed and installed into nine holes in 1984.

Over the next seven years, the irrigation system was installed into the remaining holes.

During that time there were several hole re-routings, however, the sprinklers were moved to accommodate the shift in fairways.

Records indicate that the golf course installed a Pump Station and converted to a Toro Osmac Control System in 2003.

There were no further upgrades to the existing irrigation system until Phase 1 in May 2019, Phase 1.1 in August 2019 and Phase 2 in May 2020.

Geoscientists of Alberta or APEGA Olympics held in the city for a number of years.

“Every two weeks we’re going to be doing an afternoon of a chal-

lenge for engineering and STEM stuff,” said Donald.

The group challenges will range from building robotic hands to who can build the

strongest bridge and the strongest tower.

“It all fits into problem-solving, critical thinking and into arts and sciences and industrial arts,” said Donald.

Thank you, Today’s Woman!

EDITOR Taylor Weaver

One of my absolute favourite aspects of this job is having the opportunity to tell someone’s story.

Whether it’s happy, sad, or somewhere in between, the feeling of satisfaction and sense of accomplishment I get when the “T”s are crossed and the “I”s are dotted is really something.

The Feb. 25 edition of the Meridian Source included our annual Today’s Woman magazine, and, as always, I am extremely proud of this publication.

It truly takes a village to prod u ce a prod u ct like Tod ay ’s Woman, and the dedicated team here at the Source absolutely crushed it this year! I am proud to be a part of this team, to say

the least.

But, as much behind-the-scenes work that’s done to get these special features on newsstands near you, without our trusting interview subjects, there would be no story.

Over the years I have learned many valuable life lessons through interviewing people, many times, complete strangers, but when the tape recorder is turned off, I usually walk away feeling as though I’ve made a new friend.

The interview process for these Today’s Woman stories can be an intimate one, as the stories usually touch on some very close-tohome subjects, so, thank you to all the amazing women who trusted me to tell their stories.

I am very aware that opening up to people can be difficult, especially when there’s a tape recorder running and the guy sitting behind said recorder doesn’t

have a bunch of letters behind his name.

You all trusted me with your most-precious of memories and I can’t thank you enough.

Heck, I was even getting a bit choked up writing some of those stories!

So, what have I learned from the great group of women I had the pleasure of interviewing for this year’s magazine?

Life is short so make the most of it, because you never know what tomorrow will bring. Tell others you love them, often, because a little can go a long way.

Be an active and contributing member of your community, as the more you put into something, the more you get out of it.

And of course, how could I forget? Get out there and volunteer!

Doing good for others sure puts a smile on my face, and it might just do the same for you.

Leeway from Lloyd: Vax quagmire and potholes STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE

This week, it’s COVID and potholes in mind since no topic jumped out at me and bit me in the face. Let’s start with vaccination clarity.

I recently received a few phone calls for seniors 70 and over like me who have heard our age group is currently in line for a vaccination.

The problem is the total lack of transparency as to when, where and how this is to occur, and what vaccine is available.

I called Prairie North myself when I heard the news, but the person

answering the phone said SHA would call me.

However, they drew a blank when I asked how do I know they have my number and since I live in Alberta, will they call me?

‘When will they call me’ is another question I got no answer to. Even my doctor doesn’t know and I asked him last week.

SHA needs to broadcast the basic details similar to flu clinics, so all of us know when and where to get a shot, even if no one phones us.

A lot of seniors don’t want to answer their phones either, fearing some scammer is calling if the number is not identified.

Leaving it to the grapevine to figure out is totally inexcusable given we’re in a pandemic and seniors need their shots.

Maybe SHA figures seniors are just old hippies and the answers are blowing in the wind.

Potholes or bust Thank goodness spring is nearly here after another endless winter in the north country, but with warm weather comes potholes.

Last year I drove into a crater at one of the shopping malls and it ended up costing me about $150 for a wheel alignment. The pothole had my name on it. It was out to get me, and it did.

Call me crazy, but it seems like the same pothole that swallowed my front wheels last year is back for another

crack at me.

What do they say.

Once bitten, twice shy, so now I drive with hawk eyes. I am also

on the lookout for my COVID vaccination appointment. Maybe the answer is in a pothole!

Trends being talked about in 2021 MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

..................................

Every year new or improved ways of taking care of ourselves become popular.

Chances are, you may have heard of self-care or yoga, whether you’ve tried it or not.

Here are a few of the themes making a splash in health and wellness in 2021.

Gym comes home After years of enjoying the studio experience for activities like spin class, at-home gyms and workout routines are a top trend this year. Spending more time at home due to the pandemic is helping people get creative about getting active.

Self-care as community care Another lesson brought home by the pandemic was our need for community.

There’s more understanding now that taking care of ourselves

File Photo includes connecting with the people we care about. We can all lift each other’s spirits, even if that means meeting up online or connecting through a phone call.

Cannabis moves into the mainstream In 2021, you can expect more discussion of once-taboo topics such as recreational cannabis use, due to its legal status.

Cannabis producers are now creating products that aim to focus on the users’ well-being, with a focus on CBD and strains to help tailor your experience.

If you’re buying cannabis or cannabis products, remember that

legal cannabis products are only sold through retailers authorized by your provincial or territorial government.

For products with THC, look for the excise stamp on the package.

The stamp guarantees the product was produced by a federally authorized licensed producer, which ensures the highest health and safety standards, and that the product has accurate THC levels and is free from other harmful substances.

Legal cannabis products will also include risk of use information.

If a website claims they ship anywhere in Canada, it is an illegal vendor and your shipment could be seized.

A doorway into the past

File Photo

WHISPERS OF THE PAST SANDRA L. BROWN

Standing in the doorway of a pioneer drug store assails the senses with a faint scent of cloves and faded signs of “For medicinal purposes only.”

When visiting a museum, my most favourite exhibit is the drug store.

They take us back in time to the simpler days of the shop keeper greeting customers from behind a long wooden counter.

Sundries in boxes, jars, cans and labelled bottles line the shelves awaiting purchase.

Merchants considered their customers as more than just friends, they were family.

Born in 1872, Hugh Allison Ellis, affectionally called ‘Pop,’ lived in Prince Edward Island.

Early on, he had a strong interest in pharmacy and drug stores, which became a lifelong achievement.

To “keep him out of mischief” he also graduated in Optometry (1905) thereby adding repairing spectacles to his vast list of interests.

After gaining experience while working, he then purchased a drug store and qualified as a registered pharmacist.

He loaded his store stock and belongings into a railcar and moved to Lashburn, Saskatchewan, where he opened a drug store.

In 1940 he built the Ellis Pharmacy in Lloydminster and lived in a home over top of his business.

He also owned a drug

store in Battleford.

Once The Second World War began, his drug stores in Lashburn and Battleford were sold due to a shortage of available men to work in them.

Along with eight other druggists who had originally registered in 1905, ‘Pop’ was honoured in 1955 with a Golden Anniversary Pharmacy Certificate and a lifetime membership in the Saskatchewan Pharmaceutical Association.

While he lived in

Lashburn, he served over 34 years on the town council.

After moving to Lloydminster, he served from 1940-1944 on town council.

After his two youngest sons, Ronald and Robert, returned in 1946 from serving in the War, Ellis retired and the store was taken over by his sons.

As with most of our pioneers’ legacies, his story didn’t end here.

He was seen in the drug store most any day of the week and contin-

ued to take a practical interest into his 90s.

His other accomplishments included being the first Chief ranger of Court Shamrock No. 23, Canadian Order of Foresters in 1898 (P.E.I.) and a lifetime member of the Masonic Lodge.

As a bicycle racing enthusiast in Eastern Canada, Ellis “trained and rode with the fastest team in the Maritimes.”

He also excelled in youth high jumping.

After moving to the western prairie, he umped ball games, refereed hockey games and was a horse racing enthusiast.

The surname Ellis has a Welsh and English origin and its derivative means kindly and benevolent which is so fitting.

COVID-19 benefits for tax season MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

..................................

It’s been a challenging year, with the government providing financial support to many Canadians during the pandemic.

As you prepare to do your taxes this year, it’s important to take these new income sources into account.

If you received COVID-related emergency benefit payments, you may owe taxes on this money.

While the thought of owing money may be scary, if you delay filing you can miss out on helpful benefits and credits.

For example, by filing every year and regularly updating your personal information, the Canada Revenue Agency can determine if you’re eligible for things like the Canada

File Photo child benefit, the GST/ HST credit, or related provincial and territorial payments.

If they don’t have this info, your benefit and credit payments could stop.

So, even if you have no income, are tax e xe mp t o r o w e s o me money, not doing your taxes means you could lose out on cash you may rely on for rent or to help support your family.

And if you still

haven’t filed your 2019 tax return, you could already be missing out on benefit payments.

If you owe taxes and cannot pay the full amount now, the CRA will help you to find a way to pay.

If you need help doing your taxes, you may be able to get them done for free by a volunteer at a virtual tax clinic.

January export numbers show strong start to 2021 MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

..................................

Last Friday, monthly merchandise export numbers released by Statistics Canada shows Saskatchewan saw a large increase in yearover-year exports in January.

“Saskatchewan has continued to have solid increases in export figures for several months running,” said trade and export development minister Jeremy Harrison.

“Saskatchewan continues to have what the world needs, even through an unprecedented period of global economic upheaval due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are better positioned than any other jurisdiction in Canada for a strong and vibrant economic recovery.”

Merchandise Exports in Saskatchewan

File Photo increased by 14.6 per cent in January 2021, compared to January 2020.

The province ranked second in percentage change among the provinces on a seasonally adjusted basis, an increase well above the national average of a 1.0 per cent decrease.

Large gains year-

over-year were seen in farm and intermediate food products; forestry products and building and packaging materials; industrial machinery, equipment and parts; and metal ores and non-metallic minerals.

Export sales for January were more than $2.7 billion.

Buyers and sellers are like Venus and Mars MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND

I was sitting out on a lake one Sunday afternoon quietly contemplating life and generally starting to relax after a busy and intense week when my phone rang.

Dang it, I thought I was out of cell coverage! But being who I am, and seeing it was a client, I answered it anyway.

The conversation was mercifully brief, and I was soon able to get back to focusing on the end of my fishing rod.

This led me to think about how buyers and sellers are so different in their motivations.

First, buyers do not appreciate the rest of

the world and don’t necessarily share their enthusiasm about the urgency of the “hunt.”

Their wishes and dreams may not be fulfilled just because they desire something. Shopping for a $300,000 home is significantly different from ordering an item off Amazon or browsing paint colours at Home Hardware.

More buyers should consider how their schedule may not necessarily jive with that of the sellers, like asking to look at a house after work at 5:30 p.m. because that is the most convenient time for them ... but will often require the owners or tenants, plus the Realtor, to forgo supper at home with their family.

Or to ask to go

through a home they have already offered on, but not yet taken possession of, midafternoon Sunday because mom and dad are in town for the weekend.

There are numerous reasons why over 95 per cent of Canadian home sellers contract with real estate brokerages to represent their home for sale.

The biggest one is they simply do not want to deal directly with prospective buyers.

Sellers, of course, are not always angels either.

There are those who refuse to consider their home as a commodity within a large marketplace that needs to be priced at fair market value to attract attention.

File Photo Or thinking the distress they are feeling at selling a home with so many personal memories will be compensated by overpricing it.

Some sellers and buyers view a property sale as a playoff final, where there must be a winner (them) and a loser (the other side).

Our job always as brokers is to try and

reconcile the goals of both parties. Given time and respectful negotiations, we can usually pull it off.

But seriously friends, we could produce a weekly reality TV show outlining the bizarre behaviours we encounter every day in our business.

Thank goodness, we work with enough good

people to balance it off.

It is them who keep us coming back for more.

Alberta moves into full Step 2 of Path Forward MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

..................................

Albertans can now enjoy reduced public health restrictions while strong measures remain in place to protect hospitals and limit the spread of COVID-19.

Completing Step 2 of Alberta’s Path Forward, updated health measures are now in place for retail, hotels and community halls, performance groups, and youth sports, performance and recreation.

These changes are effective immediately.

They are in addition to the Step 2 measures announced on March 1, as pressure eases on the health system and hospitalizations remain well below 450.

“Every day, we administer more vaccines and every day fewer Albertans are in hospital due to this virus,” said Premier Jason Kenney.

“With cases stable and more vaccines arriving, it’s time to take another safe step forward. Our government is listening to the evidence and protecting both lives and livelihoods across the province.”

Indoor masking and distancing requirements will remain in place throughout this stepped approach, and some degree of restrictions will still apply to all activities within each step.

“We continue strik-

ing a safe balance between easing restrictions and preventing cases from rapidly rising once again,” said Minister of Health Tyler Shandro.

“The strain on our health system continues to decline, which benefits every Albertan. Proven health measures remain in place in all sectors, and we must all do our part to keep each other safe and continue driving hospitalizations downward.”

Banquet halls, community halls, conference centres and hotels - These facilities can now open for all activities permitted under Step 1 and Step 2.

This includes hosting

virtual meetings/conferences/events, permitted performance activities, wedding ceremonies with up to 10 individuals, and funeral services up to a maximum of 20 individuals.

Wedding receptions, funeral receptions or trade shows are not permitted.

Retail - All retail services and shopping malls must limit customer capacity to 25 per cent of fire code occupancy, not including staff. This is an increase from 15 per cent.

This includes individual stores and common areas.

Curbside pickup, delivery and online ser-

21032ge0

vices are encouraged.

Performance activities - Individuals or groups can now rehearse and perform in preparation for filming or live streaming a performance, provided they adhere to public health guidance.

For adult performers and performance groups (over the age of 18), the following activities are permitted: Individual performers or performance groups (up to a maximum of 10 individuals) can access facilities for rehearsals or filming/ virtual broadcasting.

Larger indoor film and other performances will be allowed provided there is no audience and subject to

an approved plan that follows strict new guidance, including regular lab-based PCR testing.

No in-person audiences are allowed for any type of performance.

Masks are required and three-metre physical distancing must be maintained at all times.

For children and youth, performance activities are permitted provided they follow the same requirements set out for youth sport, performance and recreation activities in Step 1: Up to a maximum of 10 individuals with three-metre distancing between all participants.

MNP donates $90K to Lakeland College to grow ag tech MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

..................................

MNP has donated $90,000 to Lakeland College’s Leading.

Learning. The Lakeland Campaign. in support of programming and research initiatives focused on agriculture technology.

A portion of MNP’s gift will help fund equipment for the Agriculture Technology Centre at the Vermilion campus.

This facility will be home to the college’s new bachelor of agriculture technology program that starts this fall.

The two-year postcredential program – the first of its kind in Canada – is designed to bridge the gap between emerging technologies and agricultural management and produc-

tion systems.

“We are excited to help educate students in this program, who will play a critical role in the digital transformation of our Canadian farms,” said Stuart Person, Senior Vice President, Agriculture at MNP. “Our thanks to MNP for their investment in these important initiatives at Lakeland,” said Dr. Alice WainwrightStewart, Lakeland’s President and CEO. “Our Agriculture Technology Centre will be a central hub for collecting and analyzing production and sustainability data generated across our Student-Managed Farm – Powered by New Holland. Students, faculty and researchers will use the facility as they work to increase the

efficiency and quality of livestock and crops through the development and adoption of new ag technology.

Together, we’ll continue to advance realworld agricultural productivity and sustainability in commercial agriculture.”

Applied research will also receive a boost from MNP’s generosity.

Half of the funding will support research projects that will help producers better understand and use new agriculture technologies.

“MNP recognizes the contributions of Lakeland College to the education of people in the agriculture industry, especially those alumni who are the next generation of producers and advocates, and those that we work

with now as they continue to take on bigger roles in their own operations and within the industry. Lakeland has always been acknowledged as a staple across the prairies and given MNP’s history in agriculture and our prairie roots, this is a natural fit,” said Scott Dickson, Director, Livestock Services and VP Hutterite Services at MNP. The bachelor of agri-

culture technology program is the culmination of several years of consultation, research, and development. MNP was one of more than 40 agricultural organizations and companies consulted during an independent industry needs assessment that resulted in the degree’s development.

MNP is a leading national accounting, tax, and busi-

ness consulting firm for Canada’s agriculture industry. We have invested more time and resources into understanding agriculture than any other firm.

With more than 18,000 agriculture clients and a team of more than 600 agriculture specialists, MNP delivers a diverse suite of services to protect farmers and maximize results.
