Sleeping Beauty ballet to feature local dancers
One of the most famous classical ballets will be coming to Weyburn. Canada’s Ballet Jörgen’s production of “Sleeping Beauty” will be at the Cugnet Centre on Wednesday, March 9 at 7 p.m. It is hosted by the Weyburn Concert Series and the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils. Sleeping Beauty holds a place in the repertoire of virtually every major company. After more than 25 successful years, Canada‘s Ballet Jörgen will create its own unique classical ballet rendition with its World Premiere Tour during the 2015-2016 season. This major new ballet tells the enchanting story of Aurora and her prince complete with its inherently magical qualities and dazzling choreography. There will be an added local talent to the performance, as dancers from De Tricky Feet Dance Studio, Marley’s Dance Effex and The Dance Zone School of Dancing have been selected to perform in the ballet. “I’m looking forward to seeing how the ballet is behind the stage, the costumes and working with the choreographer,” said Darby Croal, one of the local dancers chosen to participate in the ballet. “I’m hoping that I will be able to learn something from the dancers and instructors. I’m really excited and looking forward to it!” “I am most looking forward to see what I can learn from dancing with real professionals,” said Shae Pelechaty, another local dancer. “It’s so exciting and I feel real lucky to have this chance. I love dance, so it’s a real opportunity to be part of the performance with the Ballet Jörgen dan-
cers and I know it will be something I’ll remember forever.” The ballet tells a fairy tale about a young woman placed under a spell to sleep for a hundred years only to be awakened by a kiss is an easily accessible story. It appeals to a child’s imagination and holds a special place in the hearts of adults. The underlying theme is the tug between the forces of good (the Lilac Fairy) and evil (Carabosse), serving as an important thread to the plot. Told in three acts, the ballet benefits from the character development and technical expertise for which Canada’s Ballet Jörgen is known. Artistic Director and award-winning choreographer Bengt Jörgen focuses on the magical elements and the interpretation of the
choreography by Marius Petipa to spin a tale of nature and love that will inspire young and old alike. The delightful story will be danced to the original 1890 score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, set to a libretto based on Charles Perrault’s story La Belle au bois dormant. It is performed in ensemble with stunning costumes and captivating lighting design. Sleeping Beauty by Canada‘s Ballet Jörgen is guaranteed to provide an evening of entertaining and inspiring live performance. OSAC presents over 300 live community and school performances annually, attended by a total audience of approximately 75,000. This is possible thanks to a dedicated network of volunteers committed to making culture an integral part of Saskatchewan
ballet as a nature allegory. The young woman represents nature, the wicked fairy is winter, who deadens life with pricks of frost until a young man, spring, cuts away the brambles to allow the sun to awaken sleeping nature. Sleeping Beauty by Canada’s Ballet Jörgen draws on the traditional

Scores from the 3-D archery event
The Weyburn Wildlife Federation hosted 86 archers for a two-day 3-D archery event, held at the Goodwater Rink on February 26 and 27. The following results are the top scores. Terrie Swanson from Weyburn won the male 50 years and over category, with a score of 745. Brendon Thompson of Weyburn won the adult male category, ages 18 to 49, with a score of 768. Natasha Aichele from
Melville won the adult ladies category, with a score of 583. Landon Dobko from Melville won the ages 17 and under category with a score of 649. Ryder Goertzen of Weyburn won the ages 10 and under category with a score of 332. The provincial tournament for the National Archery in Schools Program will be held at the Tom Zandee Sports Arena on Saturday, April 30, hosted by the Weyburn Wildlife Federation.
New regulations will improve access to birth registration information on adoptions occurring in Saskatchewan for all adult adoptees and birth parents. “We have seen a significant shift — both in terms of a strong recognition of the importance of remaining connected to one’s culture, language, family and history — and how adoption is viewed overall,� said Donna Harpauer, Minister of Social Services. “Over time, society has become more open about adoption, and individuals directly involved in adoption want improved access to birth information to learn more about who they are, and to build a greater sense of identity.� These changes will enable adult adoptees to more easily search for information on their birth families on their own, without having to wait. While changes take effect January 2017, all adult adoptees and birth parents are being strongly urged to learn more about the changes being made to the shar-
ing of the birth registration information. Individuals may wish to file a veto to prevent the release of identifying information, or a contact preference to indicate if they wish to be contacted and how that contact should occur. “We work every day with wonderful birth families and adoptive families,� said Leah Deans, resource director of Adoption Support Centre of Saskatchewan. Adult children of adoptees and adult children of birth parents can also apply to receive birth registration information in the event that the adult adoptee or birth parent is deceased. “We also felt that it was vital to extend improved ease of access to family members in the event that an adoptee or birth parent has since passed away,� said Harpauer. “For many, this journey of reconnection can also include siblings searching for each other and we want to ensure our regulations support making those important connections.�

MP Kitchen and Sen. Raine partnership
Cross country skiing program to support healthy active kids Parliament Hill was transformed into a cross-country ski venue to promote National Health and Fitness Day on Wednesday. National Health and Fitness Day is scheduled for June 4. The cross country ski venue was also held to highlight the upcoming historic month of Nordic festivities in Canada. This event was led by Senator Nancy Greene Raine, MPs Robert Kitchen (Souris-Moose Mountain), Anthony Housefather and Cheryl Hardcastle, Ottawa youth, Olympians/Paralympians and officials from Cross Country Ski de Fond Canada. With the goal to encourage a more active and healthy Canada, the unique event was held in partnership with Cross Country Ski de Fond Canada, Nakkertok Nordic
and XC Ski Fast. The program was designed to promote the thrill of cross-country skiing to Grades 6-8 students in the National Capital Region. The event also demonstrated the potential for setting tracks in school yards across Canada and making cross country skiing part of the school curriculum. “Cross country skiing is a great way to keep in shape,� said Dr. Kitchen. “Many Canadians take personal responsibility for their health by getting 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity. I find cross-country skiing to be a great outdoor workout, and Moose Mountain Provincial Park has some excellent terrain.� Kitchen was one of a handful of MPs who encouraged Canadians to embrace winter by getting active dur-

ing the unique ski event. Senator Nancy Greene Raine encouraged all Canadians to follow Canada’s political leaders’ path to a healthier lifestyle. “These legislators are great role models for all Canadians to keep physically active. My dream is that we could have cross country tracks like this one on school playing fields across Canada. We need to do everything possible to get kids outside being active in the fresh air. We ask all MPs and Senators to help us spread the idea. Let’s do it!� The event was held days before Ottawa took centre stage in international crosscountry ski circles with the annual Gatineau Loppet tournament. This will be followed by the first stage of the inaugural eight-race Ski Tour Canada, planned for March 1-12. This Tour includes World Cup races with 174 athletes in Gatineau, Montreal, Quebec City, and Canmore, Alta. “This is the largest nordic ski event to ever come
to North America. We hope having our nation’s top athletes race at home will inspire all Canadians — from our leaders on Parliament Hill to students in school playgrounds — to get outside, embrace winter, and ultimately try cross-country skiing,� said Pierre Lafontaine, chief executive officer, Cross Country Ski de Fond Canada. “One of our core responsibilities as a national sport organization is to pull kids away from video games and television sets, and inspire them to take on an active lifestyle with friends and family while embracing winter. We hope events like today on the hill, our ski at school programs, and the Ski Tour Canada will help us achieve these goals and contribute to making Canada the fittest nation on Earth.� For more information on National Health and Fitness Day, visit www.nhfd.ca.

TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS
Everyone likes to receive good news, but it is important to trust your instincts when something seems too good to be true. Remember to raise questions when you feel it is a fraud attempt. Sabrina Kraft news1@weyburnreview.com
S
ome people are more likely to fall for fraud or scams when the economy is struggling. After all, when you are having difficulties balancing your budget, the thought of extra money is sometimes too tempting to turn down. But even during a struggling economy, it is more important to trust your instincts when something seems too good to be true. It is important to remember that fraud involving investments, mortgages and the Internet is growing at a quick pace. Scammers have a wide selection of tools that they can use to try to take advantage of a vulnerable target. It is important to ensure that you never provide valuable personal data when your instincts are telling you that there might be disadvantages. It is important to use your common sense, especially if the deal seems too good to be true. In most cases, the situation turns out to cause negative effects in a person’s life. They then struggle to reclaim their financial situation, or even their own identity. As much as we all like to believe that it is possible to win some extra money, or to receive a sudden tax credit from the government or another business — these incidents are a rare occurrence. Plus, there is usually a good reason for the credit or refund, such as you were overcharged for services, or you had spent money on a raffle, or you invested beforehand and your own money is now returning on that investment. It is important to stop and take time to consider any
‘too good to miss’ deal that comes to you. If you are contacted by phone by a company, make sure that you take the time to verify the identity of the caller. Ask them to give you details that only that company will know, for instance your service contract details, payment details or bank account details. It is important to ask questions and not volunteer information. If you are not convinced of the identity of the caller, hang up and contact the company from a different phone. Or visit them at their local office. Phishing emails can look very real, but it is important to take time to review the email before responding to it or clicking on any links. Scammers often use bad grammar and spelling to ensure only the most vulnerable people will respond to their messages. Legitimate organizations will rarely, if ever, make glaring grammatical or spelling mistakes. Most businesses don’t offer cash credits via email either, as most companies have online accounts with their customers, and it is important to review how the businesses that you deal with correspond with their customers. Most importantly, it is important to speak up when you have been scammed, or had a suspicious attempt. It’s important you can discuss any agreements with your friends, family or independent advisors. It is also important to know that there are consequences for the scammers and to report any fraud to the police. Often if a company is asking you to stay silent, this is a tactic to keep you away from the advice and support your need in making a decision. Never stay silent. No ‘to good to miss’ deal is worth the consequences to your social standing or financial worth.
When Kindness Overwhelms By Linda Wegner Every once in a while some total stranger performs an act of kindness for no apparent reason and suddenly the whole world appears much gentler. Not only was I the recipient of such an act this week, I was nearly overwhelmed by the love showered upon me by friends. First, the generosity of the stranger. After arriving at our local community theatre I decided to lock my purse in the trunk of my car — I saw no point wrestling with the thing when all I wanted to do was enjoy the music of our annual Festival of Performing Arts. I parked the car, locked up my meagre valuables, walked to the complex and headed to the door. At the same time a gentleman stepped up and opened the door for me, I realized that I didn’t know if there was an admission charge. I guilelessly asked him and without even answering my question he pulled
this week
out a $20 bill and said, “I’d be happy to buy your ticket.” I protested that I had enough time to get the fee but he’d have none of that. He hastily departed. Seeing only an “admission by donation” sign I quickly slipped the bill in the box. I’m still somewhat in awe of it all. Normally when I prepare these weekly articles I attempt to draw some moral lesson or principle for myself and for my readers to chew on during the week. I don’t have that this week, just an expression of appreciation to this man who demonstrated that not everyone is consumed by self-seeking. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, whoever you are. The other acts of love came packaged as cards, gifts and greetings on my birthday. May God bless you in measure as you blessed me; I’m privileged to call you friends.

Cleaning Time
Diary from the Ice
By Rev. Brian Woods co-incumbent of the All Saints Anglican Church
Written by Macy Liebreich of the Southern Range Gold Wings
Have you ever noticed that sometimes things pile up until it’s just too much to take and finally we have to clean up the mess? Whether it’s a messy room or messy set of circumstances at work or at home — the time comes when we just want the mess cleaned up. It might be a room we want to enjoy or a household where we want some peace and quiet. But when it’s messy it can’t serve its intended purpose. There are times when a mess can be so serious — and nothing but radical housecleaning will correct the situation. You see a mess devalues something of worth. During our lives we are going to experience different kinds of messes that require different methods of housecleaning. There are physical messes, emotional messes, and spiritual messes. But all of them have a few principles in common. Messes build up slowly over time. We don’t notice a bit of dust here, a pile of papers there until gradually we are oblivious to the mess that is quite evident to others. The longer we live with a mess the easier it becomes to live with it. The longer we live with a mess, the more difficult it is to do the housecleaning. If we don’t clean up our messes, they will finally destroy us. So what does spiritual housecleaning look like for you and me? Do you remember the saying “when all else fails read the directions.” The Ten Commandments, which Jesus summarized in the Two Great Commandments, is one of the most complete and helpful sets of instruction in all of recorded history. The one basic principle is the centrality of God in our lives Jesus sets it out this way: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.” God has to come first in all things and in all dimensions of our lives. We need to set apart a time for building our relationship with God and a time to keep a Sabbath. I firmly believe that this is one of the key principles in rebuilding our hectic driven lives. We need time from our routines and then take that time to work on our relationship with God and each other. The second of the Two Great commandments: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself” reflects the honouring of people. In fact, honouring our parents, our brothers and sisters, our neighbours and actually all people. Honouring others is honouring God whose image lies within each person. A loss of reverence of God will eventually lead to a loss of reverence for people and life. Like Jesus said, “There is no other commandment greater than these.” These two commandments, which encompass the Ten Commandments, could be called Instructions for Healthy and Fulfilled living. If we take these principles and go through the nooks and crannies our spiritual lives as though doing a thorough housecleaning, we will discover the joy of living in a fresh clean spiritual house. Not only during Lent — but all our life may God grant us the action of the Holy Spirit in our lives to do the spiritual housecleaning that will bring us closer to God’s intent for our lives.
My name is Macy Liebreich and I play for the Weyburn Southern Range Gold Wings. The team came back from their couple days of the February break off refreshed and energized to get back at it. We travelled to Swift Current on February 19 to play our last two regular season games. These games would ultimately determine the final league standings between second, third, and fourth place. The first game was a hard fought battle between the teams but with solid goaltending by Swift Current, we lost by a score of 3-2 meaning we would finish in fourth. Then during the second game, we hit the ice again but we struggled to get it by Swift Current and lost 2-1. Our final league placing meant that we would face off against the Regina Rebels for the first round of playoffs, best-of-five games. With home ice advantage we took on the Rebels on February 26 to open the series. Despite our hurdle of killing numerous penalties and having two teammates kicked out, we pulled off a 4-2 win and had the momentum to go into game two. In Regina we quickly gained momentum after the Rebels first goal and came back at them with three power play goals as well as two more. We took the win again with a score of 5-1. Game three was back at home on February 29, where we had the opportunity to sweep the first round. With a large crowd there to cheer us on and Chantal Burke in net once again, we were fired up to take the win. It was a hard, fast, physical game where Regina fought tirelessly to hold on for one more game. However in the end Bourassa completed a hat trick with mere minutes left and we won the game 4-3, sweeping the series. Right now, we are not sure who we could be playing for the semi-final round, but we are looking forward to the next challenge. Round two of playoffs will begin on March 8.

Infrastructure funding for several communities
Several infrastructure projects in communities across Saskatchewan recently received funding from the Government of Canada’s Small Communities Fund. “Safe drinking water a n d e ff e c t ive wa s t e water processing facilities are critical to providing sustainable, livable com-
munities,” said MP Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. “These 11 infrastructure projects are in Saskatchewan communities of less than 2,000 people. The projects will improve local infrastructure and have a positive and lasting impact on the quality of life of
these residents.” “Our government will invest more than $5 million toward improving critical water and wastewater systems in 11 communities across the province,” said Jim Reiter, Government Relations Minister for the province of Saskatchewan. “Key investments like this will help make life bet-
Education funding will help growth
Two major education funding announcements that total $20 million were made recently by Education Minister Don Morgan. The government announced the reallocation of $16.6 million for the purchase of 46 new relocatable classrooms across the province, as well as moving nine other relocatables from site-to-site. The announcement was made so these classrooms can be in place for the start of the 2016-17 school year. “Even in times of spending restraint, our government believes it’s vital to continue supporting schools and communities experi-
encing rapid growth,” said Morgan. “Relocatable classrooms allow our school divisions to be flexible and to accommodate changes in enrolment as our communities continue to grow and develop in Saskatchewan. This important investment will ensure that the needs of our province’s students and teachers are put first.” Morgan also announced a $3.4 million grant for CommunityNet, which will provide for continued bandwidth upgrades in provincial schools where needed across the province. The investment in network infrastructure is a step in the right direction to
addressing the bandwidth issues that schools have been experiencing. CommunityNet connects educational facilities, Saskatchewan schools, regional colleges and public libraries, health agencies and government departments and agencies into a private network, offering high speed broadband services to both urban and rural areas. As part of the program to increase bandwidth, SaskTel will assume administrative responsibility for the CommunityNet network and begin making necessary investments to provide the new bandwidth in the coming weeks.
ter for citizens both now, and well into the future.” Funding for these projects will help Saskatchewan communities upgrade and expand water and wastewater systems. Once complete, the work will significantly improve key municipal services for residents and help build stronger, more sustainable communities. Through the Small Communities Fund, the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan are working in partnership to
provide funding for priority public infrastructure projects that deliver on local needs in communities across the province. The Government of Canada will provide up to $5,399,443 of the total eligible cost of $16,198,338 for these 11 projects. The Government of Saskatchewan will also contribute $5,399,443.

Fire safety management is improved
The Government of Saskatchewan is taking immediate steps to improve fire safety and emergency management. This includes investing in longer-term protection measures for northern people following an engagement process with communities, First Nations, local leaders, industry and residents affected by the province’s historic 2015 wildfire season. “We are grateful for the feedback shared by residents, business owners and community leaders, who were affected by the wildfires,” said Jim Reiter, Minister of Government Relations. “The Government of Saskatchewan will continue to work with communities to improve on preparedness and operations planning that will help us in case of future emergencies.” “I am pleased we are able to implement a number of measures to help prepare for the upcoming wildfire season and beyond,” said Herb Cox, Environment Minister. “These initiatives demonstrate our government’s continued commitment to the safety of Saskatchewan people, communities and infrastructure.” The Government of Saskatchewan is making immediate and significant improvements in its wildfire response and emergency management based on the feedback heard, including: eliminating the 20 kilometre zone as a strategy to prioritize wildfires around communities. Wildfires threatening human life, communities and infrastructure continue to be the top priority, with every fire assessed to determine the most appropriate response, based on the level of threat; hiring an additional eight seasonal firefighting crews in northern communities; engaging with provincial partners and Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada to review evacuation processes and clarify evacuation roles and responsibilities between the province and local authorities; improving training capacity; purchasing new equipment; upgrading weather stations; enhancing analysis and communications systems; and clarifying policies and roles for large-scale emergency situations. Given that much of northern Saskatchewan has experienced warmer temperatures and below-
normal snowfall this winter, the Government of Saskatchewan will also bring one CV580 air tanker and one birddog aircraft into service sooner than normal, and recall wildfire crews two weeks earlier than usual to ensure full preparedness for the 2016 season. The Ministry of Environment, working with local communities and the federal government, has also undertaken fuel mitigation measures in 15 locations to remove vegetation to reduce wildfire hazards. Ministry engagement with northern leaders and local and regional officials will be organized. 16031LM3

Gold Wings alumni earn Canada West All-Stars
Four former Gold Wings were recently named to the 2015-16 Canada West Universities Athletic Association All-Stars teams. F r o m We y b u r n , Alexis Larson, a defenceman with the University of Regina Cougars, was named to the second All-Star team. Larson, who finished fifth in the conference in scoring among defencemen, hit career highs in goals and assists. Her five goals tied for the most among Canada West blueliners and her nine assists provided an offensive punch from the University of Regina Cougars back line. Former Gold Wings goaltender Toni Ross was named to the first All-Star team. Ross was one of the nation’s top netminders for the Cougars, leading the CIS with 17 wins over the conference schedule. Her .929 save percentage was the second highest in Canada West and her 1.93 goalsagainst average ranked her third in the conference. Her impressive campaign, in which she hit career highs in save percentage, GAA, shutouts and wins, also saw her overtake the University of Regina’s record for career wins with 36.
Also named to the first All-Star team was forward Kylie Gavelin. T h e G o l d Wi n g alumni led the Cougars in scoring for the second-straight season, notching 11 goals and a team-high 16 assists in 26 regular season games. Kylie finished second in the conference with four gamewinning goals. Also named to the second All-Star team was forward Rebecca Unrau. The Gold Wings alumni, who is a fifthyear standout, finished as UBC’s leading scorer in 2015-16, ending the campaign with 12 goals and 12 assists for 24 points, enough to place her seventh in the Canada West scoring race. The All-Star nod, her first, is a terrific individual end to Unrau’s career, one which saw her post over 100 points as a Thunderbird. The teams will compete at the 2016 CIS (Canada Interuniversity Sport) Women’s Hockey Championship in Calgary beginning Thursday, March 17 All told, seven Canada West teams landed a player on one of the three teams, which were voted on by the conference’s eight coaches, who voted on the women’s hockey major awards on March 2.

New strategy guide to help reduce poverty
A new strategy guide was released by the Government of Saskatchewan to guide efforts to reduce poverty in the province. The Saskatchewan Poverty Reduction Strategy contains a number of initiatives that will benefit those affected by poverty and aims to reduce the number of residents who experience poverty for two years or more by 50 per cent by the end of 2025. “The Saskatchewan Poverty Reduction Strategy is an important document that will guide us as we work to improve the circumstances for lowincome Saskatchewan citizens,” said Donna Harpauer, Minister of Social Services. “Although Saskatchewan has one of the lowest rates of poverty in the country, our government knows that there is more work to do. “We will work with community-based organizations, the federal government, and individuals across the province to ensure that there are supports and services available to help citizens improve their quality of life and find a way out of poverty.” “The Saskatchewan Poverty Reduction Strategy is an investment into the future success of our province’s most vulnerable citizens,” said Don Meikle, executive director of EGADZ. “I am excited to see that our province is taking steps to support individuals living in poverty while providing opportunities for those who want a better life for themselves and their family.” In addition to improving communication and teamwork amongst government and communities, the Saskatchewan Poverty Reduction Strategy focuses on six key areas for action: income security; housing and homelessness; early childhood development and child care; education, skills training and employment; health and food security; and vulnerable families and individuals. Early efforts will focus on implementing a Ministry of Education Early Years Plan; initiating a redesign of the Ministry of Social Services’ Income Assistance programs and services; and expanding housing for “hard to house” individuals to support their integration into the community. “In addition to these early efforts, we will be focusing on developing an implementation plan that will contain more detail, as well as additional targets, measures, and plans for reporting out,” said Harpauer. “The Strategy will remain a living document as we work toward our goal
of reducing poverty in Saskatchewan.” The Saskatchewan Poverty Reduction Strategy was developed based on recommendations from the Advisory Group on Poverty Reduction. The Advisory Group reviewed past and ongoing initiatives that address poverty and identified gaps where further action was required. The Advisory Group was composed of six community members and five representatives from across government, including the Ministries of Social Services, Economy, Education, Health, Justice, and Corrections and Policing. The Strategy is available online at www.saskatchewan.ca. 16031LM2

Winmar constructs a large PV solar array The largest commercial PV Solar Array has been constructed at Winmar, on the roof of their facility in Moose Jaw. An open house for the solar rooftop was held on February 29. Under the SaskPower net-metering program, the 37 kW PV solar project will be commissioned and operational this week. The largest commercial PV solar rooftop is fully monitored online, 24 hours a day and is expected to record approximately 45,000 kWh, supplying all of the building’s total power needs each year. Additionally, the solar array will deliver clean energy to a high-powered level two electric vehicle charging stations, expanding on corporate green transportation infrastructure. The environmental impact of the solar array alone includes approximately 40 tonnes CO2 offset and planting an estimated 40 trees annually. “Winmar Moose Jaw, along with our Winmar network across Canada, have strong roots when it comes to green initiatives,� said Kyle Jacques, property restoration specialist and owner of the Winmar Moose Jaw facility. “Our Moose Jaw operations use environmentally friendly cleaning methods, providing a restore service for all contents.

Saskatchewan’s strong trade ties with Asia are promoted
Saskatchewan’s strong trade ties with Asia were recently promoted by Jeremy Harrison, the Minister Responsible for Trade. Harrison joined his British Columbia and Alberta counterparts in a panel discussion on strategic provincial approaches to Asia at the inaugural meeting in Vancouver of the Asia Business Leaders Advisory Council. The group has been set up by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF Canada) to provide strategic policy advice on trade and investment to the foundation and through it 16031OB3
to Canada’s government and business leaders. “The theme of the meeting is ‘Raising our Game in Asia’ and clearly that’s something Saskatchewan has done in recent years.” “Much of our economic success has come from the opportunities our exporters have pursued in Asia, and this ‘pivot’ to Asian markets will be critical to Saskatchewan’s — and Canada’s — continued economic growth.” In 2014 Saskatchewan’s trade with Asia hit an alltime high, with $7 billion worth of exports. Saskatchewan was the leading ex-
porter among the provinces to India, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Malaysia. The government continues to follow up on recommendations in the final report of the Saskatchewan-Asia Advisory Council. The report was issued in September 2014. APF Canada’s new Asia Business Leaders Advisory Council consists of about 28 senior executives, half from Canada and half from the Asia-Pacific region. At their first meeting they will be sharing perspectives on Canada’s competitive strengths and challenges related to trade
and investment in Asia, Canada’s current brand in the region, and ways to strengthen existing commercial networks.
A new complex that will provide 30 new affordable rental units for moderateincome individuals and families was recently opened in Regina. Representatives from the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan, along with those from the City of Regina and Sterling Manor Apartments attended the official opening. The project is located at 3904, 3908 and 3912 Green Falls Drive in Regina. The three buildings have a total of 160 units, of which 30 units are being rented under the Capital Rent Subsidy program. “I want to congratulate everyone involved in Sterling Manor along with the funding partners that have been so supportive in getting this development open for individuals and families,” said MP Ralph Goodale, on behalf of Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development and Minister Responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.. “In the coming weeks and months, we look forward to working with Canadians, housing stakeholders and our partners in provinces, territories and municipalities as we restore a constructive role for the federal government in supporting affordable housing,” said Goodale. “These homes will improve the quality of life for
Saskatchewan people and keep Saskatchewan strong,” said MLA Christine Tell, speaking on behalf of Donna Harpauer, Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation. “This project reflects our government’s continued commitment to ensure stronger families and safer communities. We are pleased to have worked with our partners to make this vision a reality.” “There remains an acute need for below-market rental housing in Regina, and city council is proud that our housing incentive policies can help bring this kind of project forward,” said Regina Mayor Michael Fougere. “We are proud to partner with the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation to provide another affordable housing option to the residents of Regina and Saskatchewan,” said Denis Jones, director of Sterling Manor Apartments GP Inc. “We would like to commend the government at all levels for taking the steps that were necessary to bring these units into the community. Residents will find the Sterling Manor Apartment complex safe, comfortable and a great place to call home.” Since 2007, the Government of Saskatchewan has invested almost $700 million to develop and repair more than 14,600 homes around the province.

High crop insurance is announced
Saskatchewan producers will have access to the highest coverage in program history as well as expanded options for growing fababeans, Khorasan wheat and forage. “Crop Insurance provides affordable insurance protection for farmers looking to reduce the financial impact of crop losses,” said Lawrence MacAulay, Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister. “The Government of Canada is committed to working with provincial governments to deliver effective Business Risk Management programs that will help farmers in managing risk due to severe market volatility and disas-
ter situations.” “The Crop Insurance Program continues to be a major part of Saskatchewan farmers’ risk protection and is one of the key reasons why agriculture continues to be a driver of the provincial economy,” Lyle Stewart, Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister. “Since 2008, when this government completed a review of the Crop Insurance Program, continual improvements have been made to ensure it remains relevant and effective for producers.” The Crop Insurance budget for 2016 is $166 million. On average, coverage levels are increasing to a record $216 per acre, up from
$183 per acre in 2015. The improved coverage is a result of better forecasted crop prices and increased longterm yields. Due to an increase in coverage, the premium per acre is going up slightly to an average of $7.84 per acre from $7.06 in 2015. More enhancements have been introduced for 2016. The insurable area for fababeans has expanded to include the entire province and insurable yields have increased reflecting, the increased production of this crop. Insurance for Khorasan wheat has improved as producers can receive individual coverage for their farm.
Previously, coverage for this crop was based on area averages. An Establishment Benefit value of $30 per acre has been added for camelina, in response to the experience growers have gained with this new oilseed crop. In response to industry feedback, the cap on the forage insurance variable and in-season price option has been removed. This will allow for an increase in the market price of forage to be reflected in the claim payments of producers who select those options. This year, producers will have higher forage coverage as insured prices have risen more than 30 per cent and forage establishment cover-
age has increased from $55 to $70 per acre. Forage insurance proved effective in 2015 as substantial payments were made following a spring frost and dry conditions. Establishment Benefit values are rising for a number of crops in 2016 including soybeans, lentils, barley and Khorasan. The Establishment Benefit feature provided significant support to producers last spring when newly-emerged canola was damaged by frost. More than 2,500 claims were quickly and effectively paid, providing more than $47 million to producers. Producers are encouraged to contact their local Crop
Insurance office and review their coverage. The range of program features and choices is extensive and the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation wants to ensure producers have the best insurance for their farm. Changes, renewals or new applications for a Crop Insurance contract need to be made by March 31. Producers who prefer to do their business online are encouraged to use CropConnect where reviewing coverage, options and making selections can be conducted from their computer or mobile device. Detailed program and contract information is available at www.saskcropinsurance.com.

Sears Canada assigns store leases
Sears Canada was successful in assigning eight of its Sears Home banner store leases to Leon’s Furniture. These arrangements further strengthen Sears Canada’s strategy to make its core bricks and mortar store footprint more productive and become a stronger company. “We are working on rationalizing our store network to ensure our core store physical footprint is highly productive,” said Brandon G. Stranzl, executive chairman of Sears Canada Inc. “Our focus is on converting each and every customer at stores with less efficient footprints into customers of our more efficient and best performing stores. These actions will drive more business over
less square footage, and will make Sears Canada a stronger company.” “Recent experiences show that when we execute this conversion, our fullline stores pick up a significant portion of the sales, the market area’s efficiency per square foot improves, and customers continue to be served as they would expect from Sears,” said
Stranzl. This includes being able to maintain their relationships with the same professional sales associates that they knew in their Sears Home location. “Many of these relationships we are able to transition to the full-line store.” The following Sears Home stores will be assigned to the Leon’s banner: Abbotsford, Langley,
Richmond and Victoria, British Columbia and Brampton, Etobicoke and Mississauga, Ontario. The Sears Home store in Moncton, New Brunswick, will be assigned to The Brick banner. The leases are effective June 1, 2016.
A fundraising banquet will be held by the Weyburn-Big Muddy New Democrat Party on Thursday, March 17. The banquet will be held at the Weyburn Royal Canadian Legion, with cocktails at 5:30 p.m., and supper at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $50 and can be purchased from Ron Wormsbecker, Mark Jeworski, Wanda Bartlett, Walter Paxman or Vera Knox. The evening will feature a performance from the STARS Show choir, plus guest speakers Erin Weir, MP for Regina-Lewvan, and Mark Jeworski, the Weyburn-Big Muddy NDP candidate for the upcoming provincial election. The goal of the banquet is to fund raise for the election campaign, which will start by or before March 9. The general election is Monday, April 4. Jeworski studied heavyduty mechanics at Olds College. He is active with his union, the United Mine Workers of America. “I’m pleased to join Cam Broten’s team and I’m going to work hard to earn the trust of the people of this constituency,” said Jeworski. “I appreciate
Cam’s vision of continuing to develop all of our natural resources, while also diversifying our economy so we can create loads of good, mortgage-paying jobs and ensure that our prosperity will last for the long term. I also really appreciate his commitment to ensure that our province’s prosperity actually benefits people.
