Additional funding for MLT/MRT seats
More students can now train to become Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLT) and Medical Radiologic Technologists (MRT) at Saskatchewan Polytechnic this fall. The Government of Saskatchewan has provided funding for 10 additional MLT seats and eight additional MRT seats in Saskatoon to help meet the need for these special-
ized services.
“Expanded training opportunities will help more students find rewarding health care careers right here in Saskatchewan,” said Advanced Education Minister Gordon Wyant.
The MLT and MRT seat increases are part of the approximately 550-seat training seat expansion announced in January,
which targets 18 priority health occupations. The training expansion is part of Saskatchewan’s Health Human Resources Action Plan, which aims to recruit, train, incentivize and retain health care providers in a range of key professions.
Both MLTs and MRTs are in high demand in Saskatchewan. Medical Laboratory Technologists and
Applications open for CAP program
The Government of Saskatchewan is now accepting applications for the next intake of the Community Airport Partnership (CAP) program for 202425. As community airport projects are well underway across the province, focus shifts to intake for 202425. The announcement was made in Weyburn by Highways Minister Lori Carr.

Grants are cost-shared up to a maximum amount of $275,000. CAP is designed to help offset safety-related improvements such as upgrades to runways and taxiways, lighting, security fencing and navigational systems.
Medical Radiologic Technologists conduct medical testing and imaging services to assist other health care professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and other medical conditions.

Record-breaking level of payments made by SCIC to agricultural producers
The Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan announced a recordbreaking level of payments under the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) Forage Rainfall Insurance Program.
“While producers face ongoing risks related to climate change and extreme weather events, the support of Business Risk Management programs provides some level of stability against income and production loss,” said Federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Lawrence MacAulay. “This record high level of payments to producers is a testament to the need for, and value of, the AgriInsurance Program.”
“There is additional support for our livestock producers, as over 90 per cent of insured acres enrolled in the Forage Rainfall Insurance Program
received a payment,” said Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit. “This is additional cash flow to participating Crop Insurance customers, in reaction to the dry conditions. We are seeing this Program respond to producers needs where precipitation shortages result in feed and pasture shortfalls. I encourage producers to continually reassess options available through the full suite of Business Risk Management Programs.”
Total 2023 Program indemnities paid are $60.4 million, across SCIC’s 17 forage risk zones. While conditions vary across the province with scattered distribution of moisture, the 2023 growing season realized generally drier than average conditions in several areas of the province. Payments are most heavily concentrated in the

Forage Rainfall Insurance Program payments were issued to participating producers on August 18.
Crop Insurance customers do not have to register weather-based program claims with SCIC, as indemnities are calculated automatically, based on information from the weather stations. Claim payments are based strictly on the precipitation data gathered at the customer selected weather stations and the insurance selections of each individual producer. Given the dry conditions, customers are reminded that Fire insur-
ance remains in place for insured Forage Rainfall Insurance Program acres until March 31, 2024.
The Forage Rainfall Insurance Program is available on native and tame acres for hay or grazing, protecting pasture and hayland in the event of below average seasonal rainfall.
Crop Insurance is a federal-provincial-producer cost-shared Business Risk Management Program that helps producers manage production and quality losses. Support for the program is provided by the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
