The mock accident included a demonstration by First Responders about how they would respond to the scene of an ATV farm accident. The Farm Safety Day was organized by the Cymri 4-H Club, and was attended by 4-H clubs from throughout the southeast.

Curriculum renewal underway at SE Cornerstone

By Greg Nikkel The curriculum team at Southeast Cornerstone School Division is in the midst of a renewal of a number of courses, with some ready to be implemented in the next school year, and others in the year after. Curriculum coordinator Michael Graham provided a report to the Cornerstone board at their monthly meeting on Wednesday, and explained the process involved in renewing a course’s curriculum. The process begins with the reference committee, and it goes on to the writing group, then to teachers

who pilot the course, and once it’s tweaked after being piloted and written, it is then set for full classroom implementation in other schools. One course currently being piloted in the renewal process is French Immersion 10, 20 and 30 at the Estevan Comp, the only current location for French immersion in the Cornerstone School Division. The Phys.Ed 20 and 30 courses is currently being piloted this year, and will be implemented for the 2019-20 school. A teacher from Pangman-Ogema was a part of the team helping to get it ready for imple-

mentation in the fall. The secondary arts education program is also being renewed, and currently there is a pilot of music, dance, drama and visual arts 10, 20 and 30, and next year a course on Guitar 1020-30 will be developed, along with Studio Art. Full implementation of the course being piloted will be in the second semester of the next school year, said Graham, noting the guitar course will be locally-developed. The secondary Social Studies Education program will be renewed as one course and one credit at each grade level, with

Think of Logan and Kailynn, and wear green Greg Nikkel editor@weyburnreview.com

ne year ago, on April 6, all of Canada was shocked to hear of the crash of the team bus for the Humboldt Broncos, with 16 people dying as a result. One of the players, Logan Boulet, died of his injuries on April 7. On Aug. 22, Kailynn Bursic-Panchuk died of her injuries as the result of a collision with a train, the day after her 17th birthday. Both of these deaths were a tragic loss to their families, friends and to many who knew them. The two were never connected, except in one important aspect: when Logan died, his wishes to have his organs donated for transplanting to patients who need them were carried out, and six people were helped across Canada as a result. This act moved Kailynn, who then made her wishes known that if she were to die, she wanted her organs to be donated to help others. As a result, her kidneys and liver went to three people, plus her pancreas was taken to Edmonton for medical research. Her heart and lungs were matched as a donation also, but the plane that was to take them broke down, and those organs were never delivered. The result of Logan’s donation became known as the “Boulet Effect”, as just in the month of April alone, there were just under 100,000 Canadians who

registered as organ donors from the six provinces that have online registration. Nation-wide, the number of organ donors rose from 20 to 23 per cent as people became more aware of the need for organ donations. Around 4,300 Canadians are on the list waiting for an organ transplant every year, and of those, 78 per cent are waiting for a kidney. More than 200 people die each year waiting for an organ — so the boost of the “Boulet Effect” will undoubtedly help a lot, but there is more than can be done. Green Shirt Day was established across Canada on April 7, the day that Logan died, and Kailynn’s mother, Sandra LaRose, got on board with the campaign here in Weyburn. Green Shirt Day will be marked on Monday, April 8, at the Weyburn Comprehensive where she attended high school the last two years, in memory of Kailynn. As Sandra observed, “Because it was Kailynn’s choice, it was her last ‘pay-it-foward’ act.” She also pointed out that Kailynn could hardly wait to turn 17 so she could donate blood also. She didn’t get to do that, but many healthy Canadians who are 17 and over can donate blood, and can sign their organ donor cards and be registered as a donor. People are dying because they are waiting for an organ, and they don’t need to. In memory of Kailynn and Logan, wear green on April 7 and 8, register as an organ donor and attend the next blood donor clinic to give of “the gift of life”.

Lent and grandfather’s clock By Linda Wegner

Usually it was Sarah who serenaded us but I recall when her big sister, Elizabeth, regaled us with odd and sundry versions of “My Grandfather’s Clock.” There was nothing wrong with the song and I remember belting it out while I was in school choir; on occasion, I still find myself humming its rhythmic melody. There was nothing wrong with having Elizabeth sing it, but the constant repetition drove me crazy. Whether playing Yahtzee, riding with us in the car or while we walked, she sang it … ad nauseum. Nor was there a problem hearing Henry Clay Work’s composition sung occasionally, in fact, I really enjoyed the piece. More than a dozen renditions at a time, however, got a mite irritating. In this case the tick-tocks got louder in direct proportion to my waning endurance level. “Sing, Elizabeth,” we’d admonish (gently, of course), “but why not sing something else or somewhere else.”

Sigh, if only she’d had learned the beauty of moderation. I need to learn that, too … and that brings me to Lent. The Protestant denomination in which I was raised rarely mentioned the season of Lent, let alone observed it, but now that we’re part of a wonderful church fellowship that observes this season, I realize that I missed something very special. Apart from any religious overtones, taking dedicated time from the hectic lifestyle I’ve always managed to pursue would have been good for me and for those around me. Balancing the tick-tocks of life, like those of Grandfather’s Clock, would have kept things (me, specifically) on a far more even keel. To know that moderation is good is one thing; to practice it, another. Read Proverbs 23 for King Solomon’s warning about all kinds of excesses. By the way, now that Elizabeth’s moved so far away, I’d give lots to hear her sing again.

Women of the Year NOMINEES

AWARDS TO BE PRESENTED TUESDAY, APRIL 9

WEYBURN CREDIT UNION EXCELLENCE IN THE WORKPLACE AWARD TANYA BROWN Nominated by: Marna McManus Tanya is the Creative/Traffic Coordinator and Administrative Lead for Golden West Weyburn. One of Tanya’s colleagues described a Creative/ Traffic Coordinator job is to be “responsible to ensure that everything goes on air exactly as it supposed to from commercials to promotions. She is responsible for local, provincial and national commercials”. Tanya Brown Tanya started working at Golden West Radio in 2005 in the News Room after completing her Diploma in Journalism, then switched to a reception position; she then moved to her current position in addition to being promoted to Saskatchewan Operations Executive Assistant. Currently, she is also covering the receptionist’s position as the existing staff is on maternity leave! Her colleagues stated she is the “backbone of the radio station”. Several of her colleagues described Tanya as “extremely efficient, indispensable, has a strong work ethic, supportive both professionally and personally, strives to be her best, inspiring, calm, caring, professional, puts others needs before her own, reliable, efficient, and determined”. Tanya has set the standard in her field with 64 days without a ‘make-good’- meaning that not once did a commercial not air when it was supposed to. This is an achievement rarely accomplished in radio. Her expertise is often utilized to assist other stations in the Golden West family across Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Tanya genuinely cares about her colleagues in the office and is endlessly assisting others. She is supportive and inspiring when the team is in the process of changes. She finds solutions to problems and if staff need encouragement she’ll forward an email to brighten their day. If she notices a staff struggling, it is not unusual for her to take the time after work to have a coffee with the staff and talk. As a single Mother she is busy raising her two boys - she can be found at the baseball diamond or on the field after work. She also volunteers in the community- with the Weyburn Red Wings Board from 2004-2007 and 2013-2014. She is currently involved with the Weyburn Minor Football Board and the Weyburn Minor Football Superbowl fundraiser. She has also coached soccer. She manages her work and her personal life with grace. Tanya rarely takes a vacation, but when she is away it takes 3 people to cover and they are happy when she returns! The staff have commented that they would be lost without Tanya , her Manager stated “She certainly makes our lives a whole lot easier here at Golden West Radio in Weyburn”. In the words of her colleagues: “Tanya doesn’t get nearly the credit she deserves, which is why we truly hope she is the recipient of the Weyburn Credit Union Workplace Excellence Award”. LORI HILTZ Nominated by: Jessica Maas Lori is the Director of Sunrise Early Learning and Teen Parent Support Centre Inc. since 2014. Prior to this position she worked at Sunrise Centre as part of the Education Team beginning 2007, and in 2011 she completed her Diploma in Early Childhood Education. The first five years are the most important years of a child’s life and Lori, together with the staff at Sunrise Early Learning and Teen Parent Lori Hiltz Support Centre give children the best possible start in life. They ensure that children and their families are in a safe and nurturing environment. Lori is a strong advocate for children and believes that children have a right to be part of a high quality early learning program. She is also an advocate for early learning as a whole. Her goal is to continue to build the program to be one of the best Centers in community and province. This is being achieved by holding her staff to high standards, believing in hard work, and having a passion for the job. Those that work alongside her define her

leadership and mentoring as inspiring and motivating. As a Director, she shows determination, perseverance, compassion and warmth. She regularly checks in with staff to ensure they are content in their job, pursuing their passions, reaching their fullest potential and reminding them to take time out for self-care. She has an ‘open door policy’ and provides staff with thoughtful and frank advice both professionally and personally. Over the years, she has seen the program evolve but she is constantly seeking out new information and attending professional development workshops to better her knowledge with the objection of improving the programs and services. She has the staff also participate in these educational opportunities- and if they are not able she brings the information to staff and they dialogue as to what they can do different or better to help the children in their care succeed. When you hear or speak to Lori – her passion shines through. It is not unusual to hear Lori in conversations with staff and parents advocating for early learning versus childcare, as well as the importance of having high quality early learning in our community. She has served as Chairperson of the Southeast Early Learning Community (SELC) since 2015; this group supports high quality care, development and education as well as promoting professional development opportunities for staff across the province. To best capture Lori’s commitment the people she works with made the following quotes; “Lori is hugely dedicated to her job and to her staff. She puts in long hours both at the Centre and at home ensuring that the families of Weyburn and surrounding communities have the chance to access the highest quality of care. I know that Lori’s expertise and passion for the field will change the way that the field of Early Learning is viewed”. “Lori takes on different responsibilities in her role as Director. Lori does what needs to be done at work with little or no recognition and praise. This is my opportunity to salute, thank and praise Lori for the dedication and hard work she shows on a daily basis”. TARA KNOLL Nominated by: Prairie Sky Co-op “A positive and innovative leader, dedicated, professional, fair, a great teacher, loyal, efficient, effective, values the importance of employee recognition, takes time to ensure staff feel valued and respected, eager to learn and always willing to go above and beyond for customers and staff” are some of the many positive descriptors used by the people Tara works with. Tara has been the Manager at Prairie Sky Deli since 2010 Tara Knoll and recently also took the additional responsibilities of Manager of the Bakery in 2018. In her position as Deli Manager her sales have doubled, and she continues to increase the profitability of the department each year. This accomplishment has been achieved through Tara’s development and implementation of strong retail marketing, positive leadership and her merchandising skills. She has developed new programs to adapt to changing customer needs, for example, ready to go food for those on the go, and an updated café menu for those that prefer to sit and stay. As a result the staff compliment in the Deli department has doubled since she started, with very little staff turnover. She continues to be on the lookout for new and innovative ways to meet customer needs. In 2009, the Southern Saskatchewan Region, Co-operative Retailing System awarded Tara with the Deli Manager of the Year. Tara understands the difficulties young people face entering the workforce- therefore, she has employed many students and provided them with training and education required to transition into the workforce. Those that have had that opportunity often have a positive story to share for her mentorship and kind words. One of the statements from one of those young people is “Tara is a really good teacher, she took time to explain things very well and made sure I understood. She was patient and made me feel my mistakes were learning opportunities, not always bad. She uses constructive criticism where needed and offers solutions – she helped me create better working relationships”. Office Education, Performance Management and Management certificates are just a sample of the knowledge Tara has. Over the years, she not only expands her own knowledge, but

Congratulations Tara Knoll, Christy Sanderson & all the nominees for Women of the Year! prairie sky co-op association

Melinda has taken training in many areas, too extensive to list in this biography. She has been instrumental in the initiation and development of many policing programs in partnership with many community agencies through this training. A few examples of her training that has been instrumental in the development of programs include; Bicycle Patrol, Integrative Wrap Around Process, the DARE Program, Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) and Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE).

In particular, the development of the public awareness campaign, “This Rides’ on Us” designed to reduce impaired driving. Melinda attended an International Women & Policing Conference this past year – she was empowered by the strong women around the globe and it has motivated her to further drive change.

Behind the uniform, Melinda is a mother of three children and a wife to a paramedic /entertainer. They work together to share all of life’s responsibilities. In the words of her nominator, “Melinda has a voice that carries authority and still her body language shows compassion so as not to make a person feel threatened in any way. She can convince an agitated and confused person to become calm. She carries herself in such a way that proves a woman can still be feminine in a male dominated world and profession. It is this ability that enables her to connect with people in any situation. The years have brought Melinda challenges, however, one thing that has always remained the same for her, and that is her love in helping you”. Melinda is an exemplary example of a woman in the workplace and is a worthy candidate of the Credit Union Workplace Excellence Award.

Her thoughtful approach to any and all queries exemplifies her caring nature, which was highlighted by her integral role in the more recent branch renovations. This major project not only brought a newly defined functionality, but also a renewed branding to Weyburn Credit Union.

ACCESS COMMUNICATIONS EXCEPTIONAL ENTREPRENEUR AWARD

VANESSA LANKTREE Nominated by: CJ Mainil After graduating from WCS in 2009, Vanessa attended McKay Career Training to obtain a Photographic Imaging Technician Diploma, and moved back to Weyburn and started a part-time business, Paslawski Photography. She then attended Southeast College and after receiving her Office Education certificate took employment with the Weyburn Credit Union where she worked her way up Vanessa Lanktree through different positions, continuing her side gig as a photographer. In 2014 Vanessa lost her husband to a tragic accident, and her world collapsed. A few months following his passing, she picked up her camera once again and felt at peace and found comfort in surrounding herself in others’ happiness. She returned to work at the Credit Union, and in spite of enjoying her job, knew her heart and soul belonged with her photography and in 2016 Vanessa Lanktree Photography became a full time job. Capturing life’s meaningful moments, Vanessa photographs high school seniors, couples, weddings, families and lifestyle sessions, as well as destination weddings. She has a great eye for finding that picturesque spot to shoot and an energy that ensures her subjects are so at ease that even the camera-shy feel comfortable. One of her destination wedding couples commented, “When she arrived at the resort she immediately went into planning mode. The following afternoon we met and Vanessa led us on a tour of the resort and showed us spots we hadn’t even thought of or considered. A place we had been to twice previously!)” Committed to capturing the essence of each individual in her pictures, Vanessa spends countless hours proofing and editing to make sure every photograph she presents to her clients is the best it can be. After receiving a lot of interest in photography at the WCS Career Fair last year, Vanessa set up a day for a free mentoring session. To ensure they got a real glimpse into a photo shoot and a career as a photographer, she arranged for a group of girls to get together with a model to take photos and discuss photography. To better serve her clients, connect with others in her profession, and to grow as a photographer, she continues to attend multiple workshops. And because

Congratulations to the 2019 Women of the Year nominees!

she believes in building and supporting other fellow photographers, she hosted her own workshop this year. One of Vanessa’s letters of support read, “Vanessa’s creativity, perseverance, and optimistic attitude has assisted her to be her very best self, helped her cope with heartbreak, and ultimately, enabled her to excel in her professional field of photography. I believe that Vanessa deserves the Exceptional Entrepreneur Award.”

CHRISTY SANDERSON Nominated by: Don Kraft Christy Sanderson has proven herself to be a creative and strategic contributor to the Weyburn community. Not one to shy from a challenge, she sees opportunities and trends in the market and works hard to make these ideas come to light. Quoted saying, “I believe all leaders should be risk takers. Risk is an inherent part of business if one is to succeed and stand out”. Following her own words, and with her past experience as a General Christy Sanderson Manager of Canadian Tire and Financial background with RBC and Knight Dodge, Christy has taken on the ownership of three businesses in Weyburn in the last 5 years. An advocate of healthy living, in 2015 Christy took a risk and purchased Old Fashion Foods that shared space with the Welsh Kitchen. Seeing a need for better customer service and a more accessible location, Christy took another risk and moved Old Fashion Foods to its present location. After renovations were completed and the business opened, Christy saw another opportunity to connect with the community and cater to her customers’ needs by focusing on selecting high-quality products from local and national companies. By purchasing from local suppliers, hiring local staff and being a local herself, Christy has taken a franchise store to a first-class establishment; a business that caters to the education and needs of its customers and excels in customer service and community connection. Showing a keen interest in the fashion business, Christy opened Coco Bee Boutique (with Kendra Sutherland) in early 2018 and purchased Expressions Ladies Wear from Prairie Sky Co-op in November 2018. After a few months, she realized that it will be more beneficial to herself and the community to focus more attention on Expressions and she and Kendra made the tough decision to close

Coco Bee in March 2019. Christy still owns the Metro Centre and rents out space to other local businesses, and the Coco Bee location will be available for possibly another young entrepreneur to follow in Christy’s footsteps. Seeking advice from successful people has helped Christy get to where she is now, and now she can return the favour as a positive role model for other local business owners. Christy’s nominator shared these words, “Christy sets an example of a successful entrepreneur, supports the local community and fulfills customers’ needs with high-quality products and services. She may not know what her next venture will be, but one thing is for certain. It will be another local business or product that fills a void in the market or starts a new market that the community didn’t know it needed. These reasons are why she is a valuable part of the community and why she is a deserving nominee for Access Communications Entrepreneur Award.” JENNELLE PERIARD Nominated by: Tiffany Bohn Born and raised in Weyburn, Jennelle has always had a passion for helping people. She graduated as a Registered Massage Therapist in 2016 and wasted no time as she started her entrepreneurial journey. While building a steady fulltime clientele and maintaining her massage practice she completed a business program and obtained her Level 1 Nutrition Certification through Precision Nutrition. Owner of JP Fitness, a Fitness and Jennelle Periard Nutrition Coach, Jennelle coached clients nutritionally one on one, and while doing so noticed how many women struggled with eating in correlation to their emotional state. So, to create a larger impact, in August of 2018 she chose to create ForeverFree - a 6 month online group coaching program for women who want to end the war with food and their body so they can live a life of food freedom and self love. She coaches nearly 150 women from Weyburn and across Canada and is presently moving into other countries as well. ForeverFree has helped women end their dieting cycle while improving their relationship to food and their body and Jennelle’s coaching skills have been compared to those of a teacher/guru by many of her clients. ForeverFree has also helped numerous women heal their daughters’ relationships with food and their body which in turn will create stronger, healthier women for the future. Jennelle is currently enrolled in an extensive 10 month program focusing on the connection between emotions, the Body, and emotional eating. Jennelle has contributed her time in the form of massages and coaching services to local fundraising efforts. She has also designed a free Facebook group called Mind Body & Health for women who want to live healthier lives, and posts free content about nutrition, exercise, mindset, recipes and more. In the words of her nominator, “Jennelle leads by example by embodying absolutely everything she stands for and by personally being involved with her clients as opposed to being behind the scenes. She gets her hands dirty and is a true inspiration to anyone and everyone who knows her. Jennelle is not afraid to share her story of how she struggled with her own body image in the past and how this is still a learning experience where she continues to excel on a daily basis. Jennelle deserves to be recognized for her contributions to the world and for her passion and dedication to her cause. Truly deserving of the Exceptional Entrepreneur award.”

HOFFMAN, MICHEL & ASSOCIATES IG PRIVATE WEALTH MANAGEMENT YOUNG WOMAN OF DISTINCTION AWARD

VANESSA LANKTREE Nominated by: CJ Mainil Vanessa is a farm girl who loves adventures, ice cream, family, her puppy Sophie, and her job! On her drive home from a work shadow day at the hospital in 2009, confused about her future, she witnessed the sun setting and could only think about trying to capture that image. She has not put her camera down since that day. She received a Photographic Vanessa Lanktree Imaging Technician Diploma, an Office Education certification and while working full time, did photography on the side. Having experienced the hardship of losing her husband, Vanessa’s part-time job/hobby became therapeutic. Through her photo sessions she found herself and feels she became a more caring, giving, confident and independent person. Wearing her heart on her sleeve and pouring her soul into her work, for the past 3 years she has been connecting with people through photography on a full time basis. Vanessa understands how important photo memories are, especially when someone is no longer with us, and strives to connect on a deeper level with her clients to create lifetime memories. She also realizes that having your photo taken can be awkward and intimidating and makes every effort to provide her clients a fun, comfortable, and laughter filled experience. Through her work she gets to witness and be surrounded by love every day of her job - who could ask for anything better! One of her clients had this to say, “She has captured not only my family milestones, but the precious, fleeting moments of so many other families. I will forever continue to ask her to capture those moments for my family and I.” Vanessa loves talking about and teaching others about her chosen career and once a month, she and other local photographers gather to support one another. She strongly believes that standing together and supporting the community is what will help us grow and has made donations of prints or cash to the Oil Women, Weyburn Cooperative Playschool, Nostadt Family Fundraiser, Firefighters Ladies Night and the Choiceland Ladies Night. Also from a letter of support, “Vanessa readily demonstrates the amount of dedication it takes to be successful in any capacity and her social presence demonstrates that to many of the graduates she photographs annually.

When storms hit, or when major news breaks in the community, she is often the first one at the station helping to lead the process, never having been asked to come to help. Born and raised in Outlook, the oldest of four children, Dara did her best to help care for her younger siblings as both of her parents worked full time. Her community involvement began in her school years and included drama, choir, soccer and volleyball. In Grade 10 Dara rallied the SRC to form a Relay for Life team that went on to the Saskatoon Relay for Life event. During her involvement with the Relay over the next six years she individually raised over $10,000. She also established the community’s local fundraising “Cancer Bash”, an annual event that ran for five years. Though she hasn’t been singing publicly in her adult years, Dara has a passion for music and its ability to change moods and convey feelings. She has written and recorded a number of songs, and has performed at fundraising events, local coffee houses and TeleMiracle in 2006. Dara loves sharing music with the world. Since moving to Weyburn in 2012 and while raising 2 children, Dara has been involved with the MS Walk, the Sunrise Early Learning and Teen Support Centre Gala, a number of local music festivals; but closest to her heart, the Red Cross Day of Pink, as she was bullied in school. In the words of her nominator, “Dara has made a name for herself in her love of the community. She believes in, and is inspired by what we can do with the power of radio. Her goal each day when she hosts her show is to make at least one person smile. She is wise beyond her years and knows what she’s here to do. Dara Currie is a very deserving recipient of the Young Woman of Distinction Award.”

JENNELLE PERIARD Nominated by: Tiffany Bohn Jennelle is a Food & Body Coach whose passion is to help women that struggle with food and body image. She has a passion for all things Health, and believes that we must have a healthy mind and body to experience true health, and teaches women how to have a healthy relationship with food and their Body. This passion to help women was sparked through her own personal battle with food and body image Jennelle Periard as a teen and into her twenties. “Jennelle’s ForeverFree program is not only about weight loss, but it is a personal growth and development course that every woman should experience.”, wrote one of her supporters. Determined to change the ‘diet’ mentality within women, she works hard to give her clients every opportunity to learn and improve themselves. She shows leadership and dedication to her clients by continuing her education so that she may pass on more knowledge and information. Always going above and beyond, Jennelle makes herself readily available and devotes herself to always being there for her clients. As more than one of her supporters commented, her clients think of her as their leader and guide, their teacher and role model; someone they all look up to with respect and admiration, someone they consider a friend. A statement from one of her clients is, “Time and time again, real results and success stories are there to read. Jennelle has helped so many women and she’s determined to help many more. Her approach to helping is unlike any other. We focus on mental health and self love and the emotional healing. The weight loss that so many women are after quickly follows after we’ve dealt with the emotional stuff on the inside.” Since entering the coaching field Jennelle has donated a piece of gym equipment to a local gym, as well as several coaching services to local fundraisers and groups. Jennelle’s coach and mentor had this to say, “From the moment I had my first conversation with Jennelle, she struck me. As a woman, with a mission, to guide women on their journey. She has been a woman of integrity, showing up to every webinar, participating and allowing her vulnerability to be an inspiration to others. I am honoured to guide and mentor her, and to meet her. I am incredibly honoured that our paths have crossed. Jennelle is going to change and transform so many lives.” Jennelle’s clients enthusiastically feel she deserves the Young Woman of Distinction award.

In Memoriam

Dylon David Piper

August 19, 1980 to April 13, 2006 I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead. He is just away With a cheery smile, And a wave of the hand. He has wandered into An unknown land And left us dream how very fair It needs must be, Since he lingers there. And you -- oh you, Who the wildest yearn For an old-time step, And the glad return, Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There As the love of Here. Think of him still as the same, I say, He is not dead -- he is just away.

Weyburn’s Communithon committee has put out a request for a new logo design for their fundraiser. The only guidelines for the design is that the logo must use the word “Communithon”, and it should not include a year or date. A panel of judges will decide on the winning logo, and the artist’s winning work will be featured on all things related to the Communithon this year. Communithon is Weyburn’s annual telethon fundraiser for the member agencies of the United Way, and it will continue as an annual event even though the Weyburn United

Way has been discontinued as an organization. The Communithon will be held at the Weyburn Royal Canadian Legion this year, on Friday, October 25. The member agencies will continue to be funded, only with the funds funneled through the Regina United Way as the umbrella organization. Communithon will be locally organized and run, and the funds raised there will remain in Weyburn. The deadline for logo entries is Monday, April 15. Entries can be emailed to communithon.committee@sasktel.net, with the subject line, Logo contest.

Duck Derby announced The fifth annual Duck Derby will be held by the City of Weyburn on a new date this year, on Sunday, June 16, in conjunction with the Opportunity Road Race in the morning and Trails Day in the afternoon. The duck derby is slated to begin at 1 p.m. with the ducks dropping in the Souris River south of Highway 39 at River Park. Tickets are widely available from City Hall, the Weyburn Police Department, Public Works, and the Leisure Department. The last Duck Derby, held in 2017, was a huge success, raising $4,045 as a donation to the Communithon. In the four years the Duck Derby has been held, the city employees have managed to donate just under $14,000. “We are hoping to get

the community involved again, so we can beat the last donation,” said coorganizer Amanda Kaufmann. Tickets are $5 each, three for $10 or 10 for $30 for those who want to go in as a group. All the money from selling duck derby tickets is divided, with half going to the United Way, 25 per cent is paid out in cash prizes and the balance covers the event expenses. The local Communithon committee is working with United Way of Regina, as they previously provided assistance and support for the Weyburn branch. “All donations received locally will continue to be invested locally within the community, which is still a huge benefit to Weyburn and we need to continue to support this organization,” said Kaufmann.

SARM reps take issues to Parliament Hill

A group of Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) representatives descended upon Parliament Hill in Ottawa from Monday to Thursday, with priorities that directly affect rural Saskatchewan residents. The team made up of board members supported by SARM staff will meet with federal ministers and policy makers to discuss important rural issues. Top of mind for SARM is the canola trade issue with China. The team met with Agriculture Minister MarieClaude Bibeau and Trade Minister Jim Carr to discuss a proper solution and plan of action to resolve the issue.

The representatives will also be looking to discuss the unfairly imposed carbon tax and its affect on producers in Saskatchewan, the need for reliable rural broadband access, rural crime, oil pipelines and infrastructure funding for rural projects. SARM is the independent association representing the collective best interests of rural municipalities. The Association advocates to ensure federal policy and programs align with the needs of rural Saskatchewan. SARM lends its rural voice to Parliament Hill annually to highlight member concerns.
