Deep Water: Researchers find more below than previously thought by Kathy Fitzpatrick for the University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon – More water lies within the Earth’s continental crust than previously thought, according to new estimates published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, which indicates the planet’s land mass groundwater is the largest store of water in any form, larger than ice sheets. These are some of the main findings of lead author Dr. Grant Ferguson (PhD), University of Saskatchewan (USask) professor of civil, geological and environmental engineering, and his co-authors, an international and interdisciplinary group of scientists studying the earth’s subsurface biosphere. The newly published estimates are critical to their work. “We know that there’s life,” Ferguson explained. “There’s been cell counts in these wat-
ers down to several kilometres. A lot of those estimates are based on how much water is available, how much pore space for these microbes to live in.” The examination of deep groundwater reservoirs has implications for a wide array of challenges: the search for life on Mars, better understanding the origins of life on Earth — even underground nuclear waste storage, and extraction of lithium from these waters for such uses as electric batteries. The paper builds on earlier work published in 2018 that focused in particular on water held in crystalline rock, the type that makes up the Precambrian shield and accounts for about 72 per cent of the continental crust. Ferguson added sedimentary rock to the calculation, and also looked at how porosity in rock may change at various depths thus affecting water volumes. (Rocks hold water in holes or pores, much like
a sponge.) The finding that crustal groundwater is a larger reservoir than ice sheets “has important implications in terms of how we think water has been moving around the planet for quite a long time,” Ferguson said. It’s known that some of these waters at depths of several kilometres can be millions of years old or, in some cases, more that a billion or more years old “so it rewrites how we think about how water cycles on our planet.” Some of the oldest groundwater ever identified was discovered around Timmins, Ont., in 2013-2018 by a team led by Dr. Barbara Sherwood Lollar (PhD) and Dr. Oliver Warr (PhD) at the University of Toronto, and Dr. Chris Ballentine (PhD) of Oxford, co-authors in this paper. “What’s fascinating about these fluids (crustal groundwater) is how much we still don’t know,” Sherwood Lollar said. It is believed that

groundwater exists down to at least 10 kilometres below the Earth’s surface, the authors write. Global groundwater volumes in the upper two kilometres, the zone where potable water is found, were previously well estimated. The paper concludes that a comparable volume, largely saline and non-potable, exists in the 2-10 kilometre zone. Although most of these deep groundwater systems are thought to be disconnected from the rest of the hydrologic cycle, they remain largely unexplored. Sherwood Lollar wonders how much life is in the deep subsurface compared to Earth’s surface, and how and when it got there. “Is it possible that life actually originated in these kinds of subsurface environments, and not in Darwin’s warm pond on the surface? And then finally what does all of this tell us about, for instance, the search for life elsewhere in our universe?” she said. On Mars the search for life is linked with the search for water which, if it still exists there in liquid form, is probably buried deep in the sub-
surface. Knowing the volume of Earth’s crustal groundwater, as well as the porosity of the subsurface, is also important in the production of elements that may be used in alternative energy such as hydrogen and helium, noted co-author Dr. Jennifer C. McIntosh (PhD), University Distinguished Scholar and professor of hydrology and atmospheric sciences at the University of Arizona. Her research focus — how old the water is and where it has travelled in the subsurface — has implications in the search for safe places to store radioactive waste and carbon dioxide emissions. There must be pore space, but also the groundwater must be isolated from the rest of the environment, not actively circulating and possibly re-emerging at the surface. McIntosh is particularly interested in the interface between actively circulating shallow groundwater and stagnant deep groundwater, which may help to reveal the bottom of the hydrologic cycle. Not only is the extent of groundwater resources
a critical issue around the world she explained, “knowing the depth that you can drill to fresh and brackish groundwater is really important.” A case example is her region, southwestern USA, where recentlyannounced cuts in the water supply from the Colorado River mean farmers now have to rely more on groundwater. Notably, the paper also estimates less fresh water in the ground than previous estimates suggest. This work is supported by the USask Global Institute for Water Security, along with funding from NSERC Discovery grants (Ferguson, Sherwood Lollar, McDonnell), Global Water Futures (Ferguson, McIntosh), and CIFAR (Sherwood Lollar, McIntosh, Michalski, McDonnell). Sherwood Lollar and Mustard are co-directors, Ballentine, McIntosh and Michalski are Fellows, and McDonnell is an advisor of the CIFAR Earth4D Subsurface Science and Exploration program.

Province strengthens protection for victims of sexual violence Today, several changes to legislation that support victims fleeing sexual violence came into force. The new amendments, laid out in The Residential Tenancies Amendment Act, 2021 and The Residential Tenancies Amendment Regulations, 2021, allow victims of sexual violence to end a fixed-term lease by providing 28-days’ notice to their landlord. “We are determined to protect survivors of sexual violence, who are often particularly vulnerable,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “With these changes, the government is taking all available steps to make victims feel safe in their living arrangements.” The changes enable victims of sexual violence to escape dangerous living situations by terminating their lease
early without paying financial penalties that would otherwise arise from their early termination. Tenants who want to take advantage of the protections offered by the legislation must serve a notice to end the tenancy and a certificate from Victims Services to their landlord. The amendments mirror recent changes to The Saskatchewan Employment Act, which extended protections for victims of interpersonal violence to victims of sexual violence. These changes include revisions to the Standard Conditions of a Tenancy Agreement that reflect the updated legislation. Landlords and tenants looking for more details on how these changes will affect them can find information, forms and documents online at https://www.saskatchewan.ca/ort.

USask researchers, Ovarian Cancer Canada and Province of Saskatchewan team up to improve testing and treatment options Saskatoon – A University of Saskatchewan (USask) project will create the province’s only tumour bank and—for the first time in Canada—offer ovarian cancer patients testing to learn if biologic drugs can control their illness. Dr. Laura Hopkins, professor of oncology and gynecology at USask’s College of Medicine, and provincial lead for gynecologic oncology, was awarded $709,500 to establish the tumour testing and ovarian cancer drug prediction program, with $250,000 of the funds slated for the tumour bank. “Finding new ways to fight cancer is a vitally important way Saskatchewan is providing research the world needs,” said USask Vice-President Research Baljit Singh. “We are grateful for the innovation and ingenuity shown by these scientists as they support women in their battle against ovarian cancer.” The project is one of four proposals by USask researchers awarded a total $837,000 over three years. The Saskatchewan government provided the funding through Ovarian Cancer Canada’s OvCAN research initiative. “Last year’s budget included $1 million to support ovarian cancer treatment, research and clinical trials in Saskatchewan,” Minister of Health Paul Merriman said. “It’s rewarding to
know that we are leading the way in Canada. This funding will help to improve outcomes for women with ovarian cancer right here in our province, once the tumour bank is established and testing is made available.” Hopkins, who is laying the foundation for academic research in gynecological oncology in Saskatchewan, said an ovarian cancer tumour bank—with samples linked to clinical data such as chemotherapy history and disease outcomes of anonymized patients—is essential for future research. Most ovarian cancers are only diagnosed in late stages and outcomes are generally fatal, she said, but treatment advances over the past decade are keeping women alive longer. “It’s mostly immunooncology agents to activate immune system, and there are some biologics that affect how a tumour thrives or doesn’t thrive in a person,” she said. Biologics, which can cost about $120,000 per patient annually, are effective in maintaining patients in remission following surgery and chemotherapy, she said, but they don’t work for everyone. “There are biomarkers—little signals— that we can identify on tumour specimens that predict whether the person will respond or not to a given biologic,” Hopkins said. However, broad cri-
teria are currently used to identify women eligible for treatment with a biologic, with the treatment having no impact on about one-third of these patients. Since many biologics are toxic, selecting only those who benefit from these drugs will spare other patients wasted time and health complications, while also saving the health system a great deal of costs, she said. More than half of Saskatchewan’s $87 million drug budget is for cancer drugs, she said, and the addition of biologics is ballooning the cost. Currently, her team is testing two biologics from a promising new class of drugs called PARP inhibitors that have been approved in Canada. The goal is to see which is best for maintaining eligible patients in remission. “Outcomes for women living with ovarian cancer have not significantly improved in decades. And so it is with great urgency that we are ushering through research to make the greatest impact in the shortest span of time,” says Tania Vrionis, CEO of Ovarian Cancer Canada. “This work is an important milestone on the path to personalized care that could bring us steps further to ensuring every woman living with ovarian cancer receives treatment that works for them.” Hopkins’ project involves all six
Saskatchewan gynecology oncologists as coinvestigators, as well as collaborations with two pathologists, other USask scientists, cancer experts at the University of British Columbia, and quality of life specialists in Australia and California. The group aims to make precision medicine the key for ovarian cancer patients. She is working with USask professor of pathology and laboratory medicine, John DeCoteau, to develop gene panel tumour tests for biomarkers, eliminating the need for sending samples for testing in the United States at a cost of $4,000 each. Eventually, such a testing facility at USask could be expanded to serve all of Canada, Hopkins said. “If this is successful, this kind of project can go across other sites, for breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer and other cancers. We can’t afford not to implement precision medicine,” she said. Mary Kinloch, USask associate professor and division head of anatomic pathology and laboratory medicine, is leading establishment of the tumour bank. She and Hopkins have recruited a specialist in tumour bank operations from Montreal and are ready to start asking patients for permission to collect their surplus diagnostic tumour tissue in the bank. Hopkins is hopeful
that the tumour testing part of the project can start by January 2022. “We will be the first to implement this type of precision medicine in Canada. Hopefully we can make a business case across the three-year duration of the grant so that we can continue the precision medicine approach,” she said.
More projects awarded Dr. Maryam Al-Hayki, assistant professor in oncology and gynecology at the College of Medicine, and clinician at Regina’s Allan Blair Cancer Centre (ABCC) in Regina, was awarded $102,000 for research on the efficacy of iron infusions instead of blood transfusions to treat anemia that’s prevalent in up to 90 per cent of ovarian cancer patients. International guidelines recommend decreasing the use of blood transfusions generally because of the risks of adverse effects such as infections. Al-Hayki is studying factors, including how long it takes for ovarian cancer patients to reach target hemoglobin levels through iron infusions instead of blood transfusions, so that doctors can maintain hemoglobin levels required for cancer treatment. Around 120 patients receive chemotherapy annually in Saskatchewan, with about 95 eligible for the study. In all, about 200 patients in
Saskatchewan will be involved over the three years, with the study expanded next year to other centres, starting with Calgary. Dr. Shaina Lee, assistant professor in oncology and gynecology at the college, and clinician at ABCC, was awarded $22,000 for a qualitative study of ovarian cancer patients’ experience with the disease and care they receive and its impact. Lee also received $4,000 to create an educational video on “opportunistic salpingectomy”—the removal of fallopian tubes during a caesarean section and other gynecological surgery—that can be performed to prevent ovarian cancer, but isn’t widely offered or performed by Saskatchewan’s 60 or so obstetrician/gynecologists (OB-GYNs) during Caesarean section. She said the goal is to help these specialists be comfortable with performing salpingectomies on patients during Caesarean section who give informed consent. Studies show that the most common form of ovarian cancer—highgrade serous ovarian carcinoma—originates in the fallopian tubes. Lee will conduct an online survey of OB-GYNs six months after presenting the video to gauge their response and report the findings. September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in Canada.

EDITORIAL Climate-altering negligence is endangering our children Most people try to keep their children and grandchildren safe and wouldn’t knowingly put them at risk. Maybe that’s why some ignore or deny the climate crisis. It’s easier than admitting that, by our actions, we’re condemning those we love to an increasingly uncertain future. A new UNICEF report and “Children’s Climate Risk Index” show that almost half the world’s children — one billion — live in countries where they face “extremely high risk” from “climate and environmental hazards, shocks and stresses.” This, the report says, “is creating a water crisis, a health crisis, an education crisis, a protection crisis and a participation crisis. It is threatening children’s very survival. In all these ways, it is infringing on children’s rights — as outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.” It’s another reason why young people are again taking to the streets and social media to demand climate action instead of enjoying more carefree activities. We’ve failed them and continue to fail them. Much of the blame falls on the fossil fuel and automobile companies and their supporters in government and media — who have long had the knowledge and power to make changes but instead intentionally worked against even the smallest efforts to address human-caused climate disruption. UNICEF launched the report, The Climate Crisis Is a Child Rights Crisis: Introducing the Children’s Climate Risk Index, in collaboration with Fridays for Future on the third anniversary of the youth-led international climate strike movement. (The next global strike is September 24.) The index categorizes risk factors under two pillars: “Exposure to climate and environmental shocks and stresses” and “Child vulnerability.” The former includes
DAVID SUZUKI
Science Matters water scarcity; riverine and coastal flooding; tropical cyclones; vector-borne diseases; heat waves; and air, water and soil pollution. The latter includes child health and nutrition; education; water, sanitation and hygiene; and poverty, communication assets and social protection. The study found that almost every child on Earth is exposed to at least one major climate or environmental hazard, shock or stress, and that most are exposed to two or three overlapping risks. The one billion children who “face a deadly combination of exposure to multiple climate and environmental shocks with a high vulnerability due to inadequate essential services” live in 33 countries, mostly in Africa. Those countries account for less than nine per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, while the 10 highest-emitting nations are responsible for 70 per cent. “Climate change is deeply inequitable,” UNICEF executive director Henrietta Fore said. “While no child is responsible for rising global temperatures, they will pay the highest costs. The children from countries least responsible will suffer most of all. But there is still time to act. Improving children’s access to essential services, such as water and sanitation, health, and education, can significantly increase their ability to survive these climate hazards.” The long-term solution is to radically reduce emissions starting immediately and get to net zero before 2050 to keep Earth from heating more than 1.5 C over
pre-industrial levels. But we’ve stalled so long that much of the heating is already locked in and won’t reverse for decades, which, as the report states, will be too late for many children. “Unless we invest heavily in adaptation and resilience of social services for the 4.2 billion children born over the next 30 years, they will face increasingly high risks to their survival and wellbeing,” it states. “Any adaptations must be based on a careful assessment of both the type and nature of the climate and environmental hazard, shock or stress, as well as the degree to which children are vulnerable.” The report outlines many solutions, including improving access to water, sanitation and hygiene services, and investing in education, health, nutrition, protection and poverty reduction. It also makes clear that we must listen to our children, “not by paying lip service, or through tokenistic engagements, but with the scale and force that is commensurate with the magnitude of the issue at hand.” We can’t stand by and let children suffer for our behaviours. From supporting climate strikes to voting as if their future depends on it — because it does — we must do all we can today to ensure they have a safe and livable tomorrow.

Time to observe, support and celebrate migration! Regina, SK – September 13th, 2021 – Migration season is in full swing for the majority of wildlife that travel through southern Saskatchewan on their journey to their overwintering grounds in the southern USA and central and south America. This is a great time to observe, support and join in the celebrations for some of the greatest migrations on earth! Make sure to grab your binoculars and take advantage of this spectacular season! Several species at risk pass through on their routes south including the beautiful Monarch butterfly, boreal songbirds such as the Olivesided Flycatcher or even the tallest bird in Canada, the Whooping Crane! Whooping Cranes can be heard flying overhead with their distinctive whooping call and fly with their necks outstretched, providing a distinct white shape with black tipped wings.
If you are lucky enough to spot a species at risk please contact Nature Saskatchewan to report and help track their incredible journey. Migrating wildlife face many hazards while travelling, but there are several things that you can do to help! Driving slower on rural roads helps to decrease collisions with vehicles. Outdoor cats pose a significant risk to birds, particularly when they are tired from long flights. Keeping cats indoors or on a lead helps to protect birds, especially during this time of year. Window strikes are also very dangerous and kill many birds every year. You can reduce this risk by adding stickers or markings with tempera paint or soap to the outside of your windows. They should be spaced no more than 4 inches apart vertically or 2 inches horizontally. And finally, join in the migration celebration by joining us for our webinar “The Great Migration” on
September 14 at 7pm CST to learn about the migration of Burrowing Owls and Monarch butterflies. Visit the Last Mountain Bird Observatory in Last Mountain Regional Park for a rare opportunity to observe our migratory birds up close. Also, join the Get Outside Kids Club! This is a free outdoor education program for children and their parent/guardian between the ages of 6 and 13. To register for these events, or to make an appointment to visit the Last Mountain Bird Observatory please go to www.naturesask.ca. If you see a species at risk in Saskatchewan please call Nature Saskatchewan’s toll-free line at 1-800-667-HOOT (4668) or text (306) 7809832. Please also feel free

Some games interest other hobbyists Have you ever heard of the game Brain Pucks? Probably not, and admittedly it was not familiar here either. But, as game gatherers will know, garage sales can be an excellent hunting ground for the weird and the unusual, and that is where Brain Pucks was found. From the box it was rather clear the game was another take on getting pieces in-a-row to win. In this case four ina-row on a four-by-four board. Such games are rarely that ‘deep’ in terms of strategy, although some, Teeko and Wizard’s Garden coming to mind, are quite enjoyable. But Brain Pucks did
not lure yours truly to spend a whopping $3 because it was essentially another take on tic-tactoe. No, in this case it was the theme, which relates to the National Hockey League. This game, as unknown as it seems to be, is a licensed product by the NHL. Now these days, pro sports leagues in North America will slap their logos on just about anything, so in no way does a product being licensed mean it’s good or bad, it simply means somebody is paying some dollars to the league. In the case of Brain Pucks from McWiz it simply means the game
THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com board has an NHL logo on each of the 16 squares, two each of eight different teams. On the box cover the teams included all six original NHL teams; Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, Detroit, Boston and New York, plus Pittsburgh and Colorado. The actual game board had Calgary, Vancouver, Ottawa, Edmonton, New
Jersey, LA, St. Louis and Philadelphia, so apparently a variety of board configurations exist. The logos look nice, albeit since they are randomly applied it has a somewhat busy look too. Each player has eight ‘pucks’. Player one places a piece on any square. Then player two places
two pieces, with each player adding two on subsequent turns. When a player places a piece so that their pieces sit on two identical logos, they must remove one of their opponent’s pieces from the board. As you can imagine the first player is likely to have no pieces on the board facing two of his opponent’s by the time they get a second turn. While the ability to remove pieces is interesting, and some added strategy exists because you can work toward capture based on the logos you place on, it’s still a very simple game. So why review it here? Simply because Brain Pucks is one of those
games that is likely to entice NHL fans more than it does gamers, and those hockey fans may never play the game, but rather keep it as memorabilia. There are lots of games like that these days. NHL Ice Breaker the 2006 release from Fabio and Paolo Del Rio being one that comes to mind that is actually a fine game, and there are rod hockey sets where the players have real NHL logos too. It would be quite a collection if a sports fan simply looked for games that are licensed by a league, and at that point a garage sale find such as Brain Pucks might be a treasure, and not just an oddity.
Timber allocations approved for restart of pulp mill in Prince Albert Proposed mill to create 1,650 jobs, help double forestry sector growth The Government of Saskatchewan has announced the approval of timber allocations to support the restart of the Paper Excellence pulp mill in Prince Albert. “One of the key goals of Saskatchewan’s Growth Plan is to increase for-
estry product sales and exports and create more forestry-related jobs in the province,” Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre said. “The restart of the Paper Excellence pulp mill is expected to create over 1,650 direct and indirect jobs, while enhancing northern and Indigenous economic and labour development opportunities within our worldclass forestry sector.” “The reopening of the pulp mill in Prince Albert is welcome news

for Saskatchewan’s sustainable forestry sector,” Environment Minister Warren Kaeding said. “The facility will play an important role in making the most effective use of Saskatchewan’s forest resources, including utilizing chips and other smaller pieces of wood from sawmill production.” With the $550 million capital investment by Paper Excellence to refurbish and upgrade the facility, the mill capacity will be 350,000 tonnes of Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) pulp annually, requiring approximately 1,800,000 m3 of softwood fibre. The Government of Saskatchewan is allocating the timber through the Ministry of Energy and Resources under The Forest Resources Management Act. The province is allocating the majority of the timber required for this pro-
ject, while the remaining balance will be secured by the company through commercial agreements negotiated with other mills, Indigenous timber allocation holders and private landowners. “Paper Excellence is pleased to have secured the critically needed forest fibre for the 2023 restart of the Prince Albert pulp
facility,” Energy and Business Development Vice President Carlo Dal Monte said. “This decision reflects the Saskatchewan government’s forward thinking and robust job creation ambitions.” Paper Excellence is a privately owned pulp company that owns two pulp mills in Europe and ten pulp mills in Canada,
including two pulp mills in Saskatchewan. The Prince Albert pulp mill was constructed in 1968 and open until the previous operator closed it in 2006. In 2020, more than $1.1 billion worth of Saskatchewan forest products were sold, an almost 30 per cent increase over the previous year.

Group shares Souris River basin study findings By Chelsea Kemp Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Brandon Sun) Souris River basin residents received a detailed look at the final findings of the International Souris River Study Board during a set of virtual public meetings Sept. 1. International Souris River Study Board Canadian co-manager Bruce Davison said it has been a fulfilling experience sharing the draft final report, “Managing Water Supply and Flood Control in the Souris River Basin,” and sharing its recommendations with the public. “It’s been a very rewarding experience for me to get a better understanding about what the issues are for the people who live in the watershed. It certainly opened my eyes, and I think I can say the same for some of the other board members, for some of the challenges that exist in the basin,” Davison said. “It’s a basin of extremes. Sometimes the river is almost com-
(Chelsea Kemp/The Brandon Sun)
The International Souris River Study Board shared its finding in a series of final public meetings on Wednesday, Sept. 1. pletely dry under natural circumstances, and sometimes you get these enormous floods like we got in 2011.” Final public comments for the study were sought from Aug. 16 to Sept. 7. Any comments submitted will be provided to the International Joint Commission (IJC) with the Board’s final report on Sept. 21. The IJC will use this information before presenting their final report on Souris River flooding to the Canadian and American
Governments on Jan. 25. “We’ve done a ton of work and we feel that it’s been good work,” Davison said. “We do recognize there is more work to be done and that’s how we framed up our recommendations.” The nature of the basin can be challenging from a scientific and engineering perspective, he said, on top of accounting for the concerns of those who call the basin home. The Souris River basin spans 61,900 square kilometres across Manitoba
and Saskatchewan in Canada and North Dakota in the United States. A total population of about 157,000 people live in the basin, and the area boasts a diverse economy with a mix of agriculture, coal, energy production, service industries and tourism. Canada and the United States have been working together through the IJC since 1940 to manage the transboundary waters of the Souris River. The current operating plan has been in place
since 1989 and extensively manages the area’s flood control and water supply. An unprecedented flood in 2011 rocked the region, leading to a renewed focus on the agreement. At the time, members of the public and several government agencies requested flood protection measures undergo evaluations. There were also concerns related to the security of the water supply, water quality and environmental protection. The International Souris River Study Board was a direct response from the governments of Canada and the United States to the 2011 flooding event. In September 2017, the IJC directed the study board to examine and report to the two governments regarding issues with the river. This included undertaking analysis and making recommendations regarding the operating plan included in the 1989 agreement and how flood control and water supply in the basin can be maximized. The study explored around 60 possible changes for how reservoirs and dams are operated in the Souris River basin. These changes were then narrowed down to five potential actions requiring further analysis. Based on its findings, the study board recommended revisions and clarification to the 1989 agreement take place, while concluding overall the plan had been performing well in the region. It recommended continuing to use the flow scenarios detailed in the agreement while updating the evaluative operational performance. The study board also suggested strengthening the water supply and control benefits on the river. This included modifying the winter drawdown elevation targets to build greater
flexibility into reservoir options, extending the winter drawdown date from Feb. 1 to March 1 to provide additional river flow, lowering the spring maximum flow limits to reduce flood peaks and agricultural flood risks, establishing a summer operating plan and shifting to a winter year cycle running from November to October when monitoring the river. Increased monitoring of precipitation was also supported by the study board to ensure regular reports can identify gaps in reporting within the Souris River watershed and collect additional hydrologic data. While the period for current public engagement may have come to an end, the study board urged the IJC to continue building on interactions with the public, including increasing engagement with Indigenous nations within the Souris River basin. It was challenging working with two countries, two provinces and a state along with a complex intersection of diverse demographics, Davison said. “We really tried to listen to what they were saying and take what we were hearing and incorporate it into our technical analysis,” Davison said. While the study has concluded its ultimate public meeting, it is not the final public engagement expected to take place regarding the river. “It’s definitely not the end of the story, but it’s the end of the story for our study at this point in time,” Davison said. “Nothing is going to change overnight. There’s still a process that needs to unfold. But we think we’ve done a good job of narrowing down the considerations the governments need to look at before making any changes to the management of the water basin.”

New era for quantum computing possible thanks to warped crystals: USask research By Sarath Peiris for USask Research Profile and Impact Saskatoon – Muted by the eventual avalanche of news reports about the emerging COVID-19 crisis was an announcement in fall 2019 that a quantum computer developed by Google had performed a complex calculation in 3.3 minutes that would have taken the world’s fastest supercomputer 10,000 years. The technology behind revolutionary advances such as quantum computing is only made possible by new types of materials that perfectly conduct or insulate electrical currents without the kind of conventional power transmission faults that occasionally see lights dim in homes, for instance. The discovery of these
quantum materials was the subject of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics. Now, University of Saskatchewan (USask) mathematician Dr. Steven Rayan (PhD) and University of Alberta physicist Dr. Joseph Maciejko (PhD) have developed a whole new theory of quantum material, based on a nonstandard geometry called hyperbolic geometry. Their work points to the possibility of developing a larger class of quantum materials than previously known, opening the door to developing components for wider technological applications and advancements. The highly technical paper explaining their exciting discovery is titled Hyperbolic band theory, and was just published in the high-impact, prestigious journal
Science Advances. Rayan is an associate professor in mathematics and statistics, and the director of USask’s Centre for Quantum Topology and its Applications (quanTA). Maciejko is an associate professor in physics at U of A and director of the Theoretical Physics Institute. “When you switch to this warped geometry, you discover conductivity behaviours that are not possible in the prior class of quantum materials that are based on an ordinary crystal structure,” said Rayan. “Our paper gives scientists who are exploring quantum materials and quantum circuits something new to look for,” said Rayan. “Our paper is really a challenge to the science community: can we physically engineer and bring to life this new
Saskatchewan leads nation in job growth 10,100 Jobs Gained in One Month Today, job numbers released by Statistics Canada for August 2021 show Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate fell to 7.0 per cent from 7.9 per cent a year ago, and below the national average of 7.1 per cent (seasonally adjusted). Month-to-month seasonally adjusted employment increased by 10,100 (+1.8 per cent) from July 2021 and ranked first among the provinces in terms of percentage change, well above the national increase of 0.5 per cent. Saskatchewan gained 16,800 jobs compared with the same period last year. This represents an increase of 3.0 per cent. “Strong job gains is a positive economic indicator that Saskatchewan is leading Canada’s economic recovery,” Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “With over 9,000 jobs posted on saskjobs.ca, employers across the province are looking for workers to fill positions, which
shows confidence in our province’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.” Major year-over-year gains were reported for trade with 14,900 jobs up, health care and social assistance up 6,800 jobs and accommodation and food services up 3,000 jobs. Over the same period, the private sector was up 18,900 jobs (+5.9 per cent), female employment increased by 11,500 jobs (+4.6 per cent) and youth employment was up 8,800 jobs. Off-reserve Aboriginal employment saw a gain of 6,800 jobs (+12.8 per cent), the ninth consecutive month of year-over-year increases. Saskatchewan’s youth unemployment rate was 10.7 per cent, the third lowest among the provinces and below the national average of 11.6 per cent (seasonally adjusted). Aboriginal youth employment also increased by 56.1 per cent for the fifth consecutive month of year-over-year increase.
class of hyperbolic quantum material, and can we apply them in creative ways to emerging technologies such as quantum computers?” Quantum materials require very stringent conditions, such as super-cool temperatures, to enable their special behaviour. While currently known quantum materials have a simple crystal-like geometry, Rayan and Maciejko want to find other materials with a warped crystal structure that exhibit fault-tolerant conductive behaviour at slightly
higher temperatures in an environment where a single-degree difference is a game changer. Interest is high in developing quantum computers because not only are they almost magically faster than any current supercomputer, but can quickly analyze problems with thousands of possible scenarios and provide the best solution. Rayan said this capability is particularly valuable in designing vaccines and drugs, and in other applications such as developing smaller, less expensive,
and more accurate MRI technologies for use in remote areas or in harsh environments. His contribution to the research was funded by the Tri-Agency through a New Frontiers in Research Fund (Exploration) grant, by NSERC through a Discovery Grant, and by the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences through its Collaborative Research Group program.

“Forestry is northern Saskatchewan’s largest sector and supports nearly 8,000 jobs and hundreds of businesses,” Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre said. “The One Sky project will help achieve the ambitious goal in our Growth Plan to double the province’s forestry sector by 2030 and further strengthen Saskatchewan’s economy.” The $250 million One Sky mill will have a capacity of 600 million square feet (3/8-inch basis) of OSB annually, requiring approximately 845,000 m3 of timber. The Government of Saskatchewan allocates timber through the Ministry of Energy and Resources under The Forest Resources Management Act. The province is allocating the majority of the timber required for this project, while the remaining balance will be secured by the company through commercial agreements negotiated with other mills, Indigenous timber allocation holders and private landowners. “We are extremely pleased with today’s announcement from the Government of Saskatchewan awarding One Sky Forest Products and our partners the fibre tenures necessary to move our project forward,” One Sky founder and Chair of the Board Brian Fehr said. “We have been working with our Saskatchewan investors and First Nations partners for over a year to get to this point and are eager to move to the next phase of project development. We thank the Government of Saskatchewan and look forward to developing this important project for Prince Albert, our First Nations partners and the people of Saskatchewan.”
“ S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s growing forestry sector is supported by abundant ecosystems that cover more than half of our province,” Environment Minister Warren Kaeding said. “We welcome sustainable developments and will work with industry partners to ensure that our forests continue to be well managed, healthy and sustained over the long term.” One Sky’s production facility is expected to create over 700 jobs in northern Saskatchewan. With the North American residential construction industry forecasting a decade of growth, One Sky will enter the market producing performancerated OSB sheathing, which is a preferred wall, roof and sub-floor sheathing material. This timber allocation will also support the growth of other, value-added manufacturing in the forestry sector in the province. One Sky Forest Products Ltd. is a privately held Saskatchewan corporation formed to construct and operate the One Sky Oriented Strand Board plant in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. In partnership with Peak Renewables Ltd. and local investors, Montreal Lake Business Ventures, Meadow Lake Tribal Council together with Big River First Nation, and Wahpeton Dakota Development Corporation, are contributing equity and fibre to the project. The company is also sourcing fibre from additional First Nations communities located near Prince Albert. In 2020, more than $1.1 billion worth of Saskatchewan forest products were sold, an almost 30 per cent increase over the previous year.

Pelly senior plans ten-mile walk to celebrate turning 87 Courtesy of Kamsack Times On October 13, longtime Pelly resident, Margaret Waselenko will turn 87 years old. To celebrate, the energetic senior has decided to challenge herself by walking from her home in Pelly to the neighbouring town of Arran – a distance of approximately 16 kilometres (10 miles). Margaret is no stranger to walking. In fact for many years her regular exercise routine has involved getting outside to walk up to four miles per day. “I like to walk two miles in the morning,” shared Waselenko. “And, then I go for another two miles after dinner. If I sit around too much I get all stiffened up and I sometimes I wonder if I’ll be able to get out of my chair. I feel like I need to keep moving. It’s just good to walk” Waselenko was born in the Sunny Ilse District – about five miles north of Pelly. Her family moved to the town of Pelly when Margaret was six. As a girl, she was both a brownie and girl guide. She loved skipping and playing hop-
scotch with pieces of coloured glass she found and used a marker. Other childhood activities included skating on the Pelly outdoor rink and playing ball with the neighbourhood kids after everyone was done milking in the evening. “At one time, Pelly had a lot going on,” recalled Waselenko. “I remember when the town had a number of grain elevators and grocery stores, a lumber yard, hardware store, hotel, cafes, banks, lawyer’s office, pharmacy, laundromat, and even our own movie theatre. Things have really changed since those days. The town would host amateur talent shows that were a lot of fun, and there was a train station in town that would take people wherever they wanted to go.” As a young woman, Margaret fell head over heels for a man named Sam. The couple were soon married, working as farmers and soon specializing in growing mushrooms that they delivered to retailers in Yorkton. Eventually, Sam decided to work in television sales and repair – installing many satellite dishes in the area. It was
around eight years ago when Sam passed away. The couple had been married nearly 58 years. In addition to working alongside her husband by driving tractor, harrowing, picking stones and roots, and hauling grain from the combine, Margaret had some earlier experience as an oncall telephone operator in the days of the old wooden telephones and party lines. “Back in those days, that’s where people got their news,” she said with a laugh. “Often, I would patch a call through and I could hear a click – from folks around town picking up their phones and listening in on private conversations.” Today, Margaret lives an independent, albeit busy life. In addition to making quilts and volunteering for tea and bake sales for the Pelly Fellowship Chapel, she enjoys gardening and entertaining friends. She says she’s looking forward to the Pelly Museum resurrecting and repairing the old clay oven that was once used to bake bread and cinnamon buns. When it comes to walking, Margaret welcomes anyone who wishes to join her – and especially those she lovingly refers to as her ‘old sidekicks’ – Darlene Miller and Laura Dahl who have accompanied her on many walks over the years. Beginning in 1999, Margaret began documenting the epic walks

A one-way trip to a nearby town would take somewhere around three hours. At first, it was her husband that would drive alongside her, ensuring she was safe from a loose dog or menacing bull along the way. After his passing, Margaret’s 73-year-old brother, John Lange, offered to help out. “I’ve never had any trouble out there on the highway,” shared Margaret. “John follows with his car and brings me candies. He’ll go on ahead a mile or so and do some word search or listen to the radio while he waits for me.”
For Margaret Waselenko, a strong and healthy lifestyle in her 80s includes living independently, walking every day, keeping up her home, and maintaining her own garden.

“Your ears deserve an audiologist” As a young woman, Margaret Waselenko worked as an on-call phone operator. Later in life, her husband, Sam, made her this miniature version of the old wooden phones that were once used in the area.
