New Public Health Order requires proof of vaccination in additional venues A new Public Health Order will come into effect at 12:01 Monday October 18 that will add some businesses and retail outlets now requiring Proof of Vaccination or Negative Test for public access.

New Additions to the Public Health Order Now Requiring POV or Negative Test Proof of vaccination or a negative test will be required at point of entry to access: • Seated dining in all restaurants including fast food restaurants; • Liquor manufacturers conducting retail liquor sales; and • Liquor stores with an integrated permit that also hold a liquor restaurant or tavern permit.

A POV or negative test will not be required for food pick-up or delivery, at food courts or for entering a premises to use the washroom.

This order will replace the Public Health Order that came into effect at 12:01 October 1 which outlined businesses and organizations that are required to request proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test in order to access the venue. In addition to the changes above, the order applies primarily to nonessential businesses such as: • Restaurants, includ-

ing restaurants in hotels or other lodgings; • Nightclubs, bars, taverns, and manufacturer hospitality suites, buses and other establishments and transportation licensed by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority for the sale and service of alcohol; • Liquor stores that have been issued standalone retail store permits issued by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority; and • Cannabis stores that have been issued standalone retail store permits by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority.

Event and entertainment venues including: • conference centres, meeting rooms and banquet facilities, except when being used for the purposes of a court or tribunal proceeding; • theatres; • cinemas; • bingo halls, casinos and other gaming establishments; • concerts; • live-music venues; • fitness centres and gyms; and • facilities hosting sporting events where tickets are required that have GST charged on the ticket.

Businesses or organizations exempt from this order include:

Proof of a Negative Test Individuals who do not have proof of vaccination have the option of providing proof of a negative COVID-19 test result from within the previous 72 hours.

A self-administered take-home rapid antigen test will not be accepted as valid proof of negative COVID-19 results and the SHA is no longer supporting testing for asymptomatic individuals at the public testing sites, preserving resources to test symptomatic and other at-risk populations.

The cost for all proof of negative test results for asymptomatic testing will be the respon-

Enforcement of Public Health Orders

vaccination/proof of negative testing requirements in the province, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) and the Ministry of Health are adding resources and personnel to support Public Health Inspectors (PHIs). This will re-establish a team of trained individuals to assist in awareness, education and compliance of the current public health order.

These personnel will not be conducting inspections but will assist in responding to complaints of non-compliance with Public Health Orders.

Once complaints are substantiated through investigation, members of this team may use their discretion to determine if a ticket will be issued or if education is enough to ensure that people are following the PHOs. This team operated throughout the previous emergency order to assist in compliance with public health orders.

about breast cancer and how to perform breast self-examinations and undergo mammograms in preventative efforts.

“Saskatchewan has recently welcomed a number of Syrian refugees, but because they have not lived in the province long, healthcare providers are not familiar with their health knowledge, including their level of education regarding breast cancer,” said Dr. Louise Racine (PhD), USask College of Nursing professor and Transcultural Nurse Scholar whose research focuses on non-Western immigrant and refugee health.

“Nurses need to understand the cultural beliefs of the Muslim culture and the Islamic faith on women’s knowledge,

beliefs, behaviours and willingness to perform breast cancer screening before we can create the educational pieces regarding the screening,” Racine said. “Our research will inform us about potential ways to educate Syrian refugee women on breast cancer and prevention.”

The interdisciplinary research team combines expertise in nursing, refugee health, women’s health, global health, and palliative care. It consists of Drs. Racine, Sithokozile Maposa (PhD), and Susan Fowler-Kerry (PhD) from the USask College of Nursing, Dr. Hassan Vatanparast (PhD) from USask’s School of Public Health, and Dr. Isil Andsoy (PhD) of the Department of Nursing at Karabuk University, Turkey.

Once their study in Saskatchewan is complete, the team hopes to receive funding to expand their work in Canada and Turkey. The current study has received funding from Sigma Theta Tau International and the Canadian Nurses Foundation.

Have a kid with a cough? One-third of Canadians think parents will still send children to school while sick: USask survey Saskatoon – More than one-third of Canadians don’t trust parents to keep their children home from school if they develop COVID-19 symptoms.

This is just one of the compelling findings of the Taking the Pulse of Canada national survey conducted by the University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) Canadian Hub for Applied and Social Research (CHASR), which received responses from 1,000 Canadian adults 18 years of age and older, contacted between Sept.

3 and Sept. 28 via landlines and cellphone.

The primary focus was to ask about the extent to which COVID-19 may or

may not be a problem in schools, and to gauge Canadians’ response overall to public health guidelines.

Researchers also discovered that a majority support public health guidelines such as requirements for masking in indoor public spaces and restrictions on social gatherings as well as mass gatherings.

There are notable variations in responses from Canada’s regions to public health measures, as well as differences between men and women on such concerns as the spread of the pandemic in K-12 schools and on the possibility that their child would get very sick or hospitalized with COVID-19.

“These results are very much reflective of the patchwork quilt of public health measures currently in place across Canada,” said CHASR Director Jason Disano.

“There is currently less consistency in public health measures than at any point during the pandemic.”

Among the survey’s findings: 89 per cent of respondents said they were vaccinated; Quebec and the Prairie provinces (Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan) are less likely than other regions to support requiring students and staff to wear masks inside schools or limiting the size of social gatherings; Ontario and Prairie respondents are less trusting of parents to

keep kids with COVID-19 symptoms out of school than British Columbians or Quebecers; and B.C. and Prairie residents are less likely to think COVID-positive people should be required to isolate themselves.

Other highlights: • Vaccinated persons were more likely support most public health measures.

• 21 per cent of the respondents had children in school. Of them, 89 per cent were vaccinated. Unsurprisingly, their children were more likely to be vaccinated, as well.

• Women are more supportive of measures such as indoor masking, limiting the number of

persons allowed in businesses, and restricting the size of social gatherings and mass gatherings.

•Unvaccinated people were more trusting of parents to keep COVID-symptomatic children at home from school, while younger respondents (under age 55) were less likely to be as trusting.

• Those over age 55 were far more concerned than younger respondents about the spread of COVID-19 in schools in their area, and at postsecondary institutions.

• Quebec and Ontario parents (78 and 64 per cent) were confident of COVID-19 safeguards enacted by schools, com-

pared to those in Atlantic Canada, B.C. and the Prairies (51 per cent or below).

“The overall national numbers on support for public health measure are driven largely

by Central Canada and Atlantic Canada,” said Disano. “Saskatchewan and Alberta actually bring those numbers down somewhat.”

The results of the survey yield a margin of error of +/- 3.1 per cent nationally (19 times out of 20, meaning the results can be considered reliable 95 per cent of the time). Results broken down by region have a higher margin of error because of the smaller number of respondents from each region.

Melville drops pair of games to Flin Flon over weekend The Melville Millionaires dropped two games over the weekend to the Flin Flon Bombers on the road.

In Game 1, Melville would get off to a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes, as Zach McIntyre (2) would open up the scoring. Flin Flon would answer back with a powerplay goal just two minutes later. Melville

would then capitalize on back-to-back powerplays as Louis-Frederic Theberge (1) would score to give the Millionaires the lead, before Zach McIntyre (3) would score his second of the game to extend the lead to two.

Things would take a turn for the worst for Melville as they allowed eight unanswered goals,

with the Bombers scoring four in both the second and the third.

In Game 2, Flin Flon would dominate on the scoreboard again, but goaltending would keep things close for Melville.

The Millionaires would again open up the scoring as Jonathan Krahn (3) scored midway

through the first.

In the second, Nathan Flodell (1) for the Bombers would tie the game at one. It wouldn’t take long for Melville to retake the lead as Zach Cain (5) gave them the lead just 27 seconds later. Flin Flon would tie things up once again as Brett Wieschorster (1) scored.

In the third period, Nathan Gagne (5) would score to give them the lead; however, in the last minute of play, Zach McIntyre would score for the third time in two games to tie the game up and send the game to overtime despite being outshot 51 to 30 in the game.

It wouldn’t take long

for the Bombers to score in overtime as Nathan Gagne won the game for Flin Flon just one minute and 58 seconds into the extra frame.

Melville has dropped three-in-a-row and will look to end that streak at home against the Bombers (9-3-0-0) once again on Tuesday.

Test to protect - At home self-testing kits available the week of October 18 With the delivery of 2.6 million rapid antigen test kits, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) will expand delivery to make a supply available to the general public including First Nations communities to support asymptomatic COVID-19 surveillance.

Routine, voluntary testing at home will help prevent asymptomatic transmission to those who are not able to be vaccinated and will reduce COVID-19 transmission in the community.

Test to Protect - General Public More than 1.3 million of these kits will be distributed free to the general public starting the week of October 18 through participating fire halls, local chambers of commerce, and SHA testing and assessment centres.

In addition, more than 360,000 tests will be provided to First Nations communities across the province through

a provincial allocation to Indigenous Services Canada (ISC). This secures a supply for ISC to support COVID-19 surveillance, in the absence of a predictable supply directly from the federal allocation.

A list of these locations is available at Saskatchewan.ca/covid-19 and will be updated as kits are delivered and available and as new sites participate.

Note that these testing kits do not come individually packaged but are in bundles so kits will be distributed quickly. Availability will be based on the locations’ hours of operation and supply. Self-testing kits will be available first come, first served with one kit per household at this time.

The province of Saskatchewan has increased its request to the federal government from one million to four

million test kits per month in order to support demand.

Test to Protect - Distribution to Congregate Settings, Schools Schools will receive a new supply of 720,000 tests, and the remainder of the supply will be allocated to other areas of the SHA’s Test to Protect Program including congregate living facilities (long-term care, personal care homes, correctional facilities, shelters, group homes), and to healthcare workers and businesses that are registered with the SHA for a workplace surveillance program.

Self-testing (rapid antigen testing) is an additional asymptomatic surveillance tool, and is not a substitute for COVID-19 vaccination Self-tests are an effective screening tool and are intended for those who do

not have COVID-19 related symptoms (asymptomatic). If you have COVID-19 symptoms or if your self-test is positive, seek a lab PCR test through an SHA testing site or call HealthLine 811 to arrange for a test.

Self-tests distributed for the purpose of workplace or asymptomatic surveillance will not be accepted for the negative test requirement, as part of the proof of vaccination or negative test result policy. Those negative test results must be purchased from an approved provider listed at Saskatchewan.ca/ covid-19.

Providers who wish to be approved for providing COVID-19 testing for the negative test requirement and be listed on the Government of Saskatchewan website can apply, following the new process outlined at Saskatchewan.ca/ covid-19.

EDITORIAL CBD gummy scam illustrates need for media literacy Would you buy cannabis gummies from me?

Apparently, hundreds of people would. Only trouble is, I don’t sell them, and I’m not looking for business opportunities. But recent online memes, stories and other disinformation have me not only selling and endorsing CBD gummies but also embroiled in a lawsuit with businessman Kevin O’Leary over them!

People see the bogus information, click through to a realistic product page, submit their personal and financial information and order the products. It appears they most often find the pitches on Facebook.

I’m saddened that anyone would spend money hoping to purchase products they thought I manufactured or recommended. The scam is still tricking innocent people. They contact the David Suzuki Foundation daily.

This got me reflecting on how and where people receive and process information. I’ve been a science communicator for more than half a century, so I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to get through to people. How do we ensure as many as possible have access to accurate, credible information so we can make informed decisions on issues that matter?

I’ve been fortunate to have worked many years at the CBC. As a public broadcaster, it’s been producing quality content and upholding journalistic standards since before the Second World War — and helped me earn credibility as a communicator.

Today, I compare that type of relationship — one based on accurate and fair communication of relatively diverse types of evidence and viewpoints — to what I see online, on social media, and it’s shocking.

False information and scams abound, along with the worst political polarization in recent memory.

Fraud and misinformation have been around as long as we have, and perpetrators have always seized on the best available technologies to reach people.

DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters But in under 30 years, the internet has become our main information source, and the ubiquity of social media has given rise to effective, inexpensive ways to spread information, from bad to good and everything in between.

Close to 60 per cent of the world’s population — 4.66 billion people — are active internet users, most accessing it through mobile devices. It infiltrates and informs every aspect of our lives.

As Marshall McLuhan posited in the 1960s, our technologies have become extensions of ourselves.

As these systems evolve and become more powerful, complex and efficient, so too must our collective ability to understand and use them.

As we receive more information online — from recipes to weather forecasts, product info to politics — how can we make sure it’s reliable, that we can trust it enough to make good decisions? If we’re wrong, what’s at stake? Many people search for or are fed information that confirms their beliefs rather than that which could help them better understand an issue. And, as recent vaccine opposition reveals, much of it promotes “personal freedom” while ignoring the responsibility that goes with it.

In today’s digital society, media literacy levels

must match the sophistication of mass communication methods and big tech. But this isn’t the case, and we’re seeing the consequences, from increasing polarization to revelations about how platforms like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp foment division and conflict in the name of profit.

Environmentalists encounter the misinformation problem often. In 2021, a dwindling minority still reject the validity of climate science, despite an astounding amount of evidence proving the crisis is upon us and massive international scientific consensus regarding the urgent and necessary path forward.

How can we come together, have informed conversations and enjoy the benefits of evidence-based decision-making? It’s clearer than ever that a democracy works best when people have access to accurate, credible information.

We must see our information systems — news media, social media, etc. — as the foundations of democracy they are, and we must insist on keeping them, and the people who use them, healthy.

We should invest more public resources in ensuring our media industry is healthy, social media is properly regulated and most people are media literate enough to consume online information safely and responsibly. And we must take responsibility and get better at synthesizing information, considering various perspectives and uniting behind solutions to the world’s biggest problems.

It all begins with productive, respectful conversations based on good information. (And maybe some CBD — but not from me!)

Busy season ends for Preeceville museum Courtesy of Preeceville Progress The Preeceville and District Heritage Museum officially closed on September 5 after a busy season, stated Agnes Murrin, chairperson of the museum board.

Even when closed the museum continues to bring in new artifacts that need to be entered and catalogued, so someone from the board will

often be in the museum.

“If visitors see us there, they will often stop in, this happened recently when we had six visitors, some from Oregon. That is why we say officially closed versus totally closed because as long as it is warm enough you might catch one of us there,” said Murrin.

The museum’s busy season started with a thorough spring cleaning. With 25 rooms and

numerous artifacts, it is a large task. The projects that got done this year saw the cover built over the CN wagon, some new shelves, casings added to some doorways, the large stained glass window (which museum members were told came from a Roman Catholic Church) was mounted in the Church room, and there was also cataloguing of many artifacts.

“Some artifacts that came in this year includ-

ed: a 1922 Preeceville School field day ribbon; a baseball uniform from a Champion Preeceville team; 4H items and animal showing items and ribbons; reel, re-winder and film splicer from our own Grand Theatre; curling sweaters with pins; wedding outfits; marriage certificate from 1848; Swedish clothing; older Preeceville papers which we really like to get and numerous pictures. We really appre-

ciate these artifacts as they are the history of our town and area and its residents,” continued Murrin.

The community was very supportive of the museum’s fundraising efforts which included: sale of chili and homemade bread, hamburger sale at the outdoor market, and the sale of the history book, Lines of the Past.

Another wish that was accomplished this year was to have a small display of the Saskatchewan tartan. “Our tartan incorporates all the colors that represent Saskatchewan and of course is quite attractive.”

Even though the season has just ended, board members are already looking ahead to 2022.

“Some things that we need to get done include some more painting and landscaping, and to recover the clay oven with clay and straw. This needs to be done every few years and 2022 will be when it is planned,” stated Murrin.

“The Museum board would like to thank the

community for the donation of the many artifacts as well as all the support in 2021.We would like to encourage everyone in 2022 to come and see your museum,” she concluded.

Everything For a reason!

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes even our most embarrassing and humbling moments can later afford us a gain in ways we didn’t suspect they might.

I may not share the same love for animals that most of my family has but I have compromised in the buying, adopting and caring for a plethora of pets. (Even a horse!)

In the past I have been wrongly accused of not “liking” animals but fortunately I have this story to prove that untrue.

Years ago, as well as having three young children and a dog, we bought two hamsters which the salesperson at the pet store assured us were both of the female persuasion. We quickly found out that gendering a hamster must be impos-

sible but lying about it is not. Our two ladies miraculously made babies and soon not only two fluff balls roamed the cage but another six or seven as well. (Interestingly, when we first learned of the immaculate birth my husband and I were sure we counted ten or eleven furless babies but apparently some parents do eat their young—another whole article.)

After a few of our friends (now acquaintances) had agreed to take the all-female babies off our hands (we weren’t above guessing either) we noticed that one of our adult hamsters was looking quite sickly. Her eyes and nose watered and she appeared to be struggling for breath.

This, of course, caused great stress for our three offspring. We tried to

PATTIE JANZEN

Laugh at Life...

Revisited explain that sometimes pets get sick and sometimes they … but our worried kids did not take that news well.

I don’t know exactly what tipped me into losing my grip on reality that time. Maybe it was my children’s tears or my own inability to extract myself from empathizing for anyone or anything that suffers but I picked up the cage, called a friend (now an acquaintance) and

drove to his house at a late hour that Saturday night. I plopped the cage in front of the seasoned veterinarian and asked, “Is there anything that can be done for our ill hamster?”

I remember his serious expression as he peered above his glasses at me before picking up our little pet from the corner of her cage. He looked back and forth between her and I a few times before he sighed

and placed her gently back into her wired home.

“So, Ed?” I asked. “Is there anything we can do?”

He seemed to be battling with his answer as he finally gazed upon me again. “Well, Pattie,” he began, softly. “I suppose I could try to figure out a small amount of antibiotic that you could try but … I think it would be more prudent for me to ask you one question.”

I wondered then what I had forgotten to tell him. When the cold symptoms started?

If any of the other hamsters were infected? I felt desperate to answer anything I could, to aid in the great reveal for healing our little pet.

But it wasn’t further assessment answers he needed. Rather, “You

do know that this … is a rodent?” he dropped.

And with that statement, the fog cleared as reality crashed through my brain. I picked up the cage, turned my red face around, thanking him profusely as I ran out the door.

Our rodent died that night. Tears were shed but quickly wiped away with another trip to the rat, I mean “pet”, store to buy another female hamster. And from that day the circle of life, as with all our precious animals, continued and was learned from.

As embarrassing as my trip to the vet was it has served me well in the telling and retelling of this tale for, undoubtedly, it happened for a reason.

It is my undeniable proof that I do, indeed, “like” animals.

Kamsack doctor awarded 2021 Saskatchewan Order of Merit Courtesy of Kamsack Times Kamsack – A retired local doctor has been named to the list of recipients honoured with the 2021 Saskatchewan Order of Merit. During a phone interview from his home in Kamsack, Dr. Michael Bishop, originally from London, England, said he was quite pleased to be acknowledged along with the other recipients.

The retired 84 yearold physician explained he was notified of the award two weeks before the official list of recipients was announced on October 14. The recognition follows a number of other accolades the doctor has earned, including the Saskatchewan Centennial Medal.

“I have always enjoyed helping people and I have always wanted to be a physician,” shared Bishop. “Although physicians are well-respected and paid well – even if

they weren’t, I still would have chosen it as a profession. I have thoroughly enjoyed my career.”

Bishop is a proud father to three adult children, nine grandchildren, and three greatgrandchildren who all reside in the province.

He describes Kamsack as being an exceptional place to live and raise a family.

Having moved from the United Kingdom, along with his wife, Sally, in 1965, Bishop immediately began working in Kamsack as a family physician and continued the practice until he was 65 years old. For the following 10 years, he would commute to the city of Yorkton to work as a Senior Medical Officer (otherwise known as Chief of Staff) at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre (formally known as the Yorkton Union Hospital).

It was just three years ago when Dr. Bishop said it was nature that forced him to finally slow down.

This time, his own health was threatened, and he underwent a major heart operation.

Jean-Philippe Julien is a Canada Research Chair in Structural Immunology, a Senior Scientist in the Molecular Medicine Program at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), and an Associate Professor in the Departments of Biochemistry and Immunology at the University of Toronto. Along with colleagues from the U.S., Spain and Canada, he used the Canadian Light Source at the University of Saskatchewan to study how a candidate antibody therapeutic interacts with a surface receptor on cancer cells, which provides important molecular insights for designing improved cancer therapies. He mentioned how the synchrotron is “incredibly important for researchers like myself” and how “we

to thank the staff at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre, the Kamsack Hospital, and the Regina Cardiac Unit who all contributed to my diagnosis and surgery – and they all did a very good job.”

Today, Dr. Bishop is feeling well and delighting in hobbies like fishing, boating and gardening in the beautiful parkland area surrounding his Kamsack home.

“I can’t say I know much about the technical aspects of gardening,” admitted Bishop with a chuckle. “My wife is the real talent. I am more of an enthusiastic labourer.”

The Town of Kamsack has also recognized the doctor’s contributions with a dedicated walking trail in his name.

The “Dr. Michael Bishop Walking Trail” runs through a portion of the town of Kamsack.

“I would like to sincerely thank everyone who welcomed me as a stranger [to Kamsack] in 1965 and kudos to all of the patients and friends from Kamsack, Veregin, Togo, Keeseekoose First Nation, and Cote First Nation.”

Dr. Bishop said he is grateful for the many wonderful relationships he has made with people from the surrounding

towns, cities, and First Nation communities.

“And certainly, I would like to thank my wife, Sally. I could not have achieved anything without her. Her support has always been fantastic. In fact, she has been more active and deserving of awards than I have…and our children have too.”

Six outstanding Saskatchewan citizens will be invested into the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, the province’s highest honour, during a ceremony in November, according to a release.

“The 2021 recipients of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit are remarkable citizens who are most deserving of this prestigious honour,” Lieutenant Governor Russ Mirasty said. “I offer my sincere congratulations to each recipient and I thank them for their invaluable contributions to our province.”

The 2021 recipients are: • Mavis AshbournePalmer, Regina • Michael Bishop, Kamsack • Albert Brown, Saskatoon •Marie-Anne DayWalker-Pelletier, C.M., Balcarres • Hart Godden, Regina • Solomon Ratt, Regina This year’s recipients of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit will join the 252 individuals who have previously been invested.

Dr. Michael Bishop is described as a pillar of his community and the epitome of a smalltown doctor, continued the release. Michael has been a physician in Kamsack since emigrating from England in the 1960s. In addition to his busy practice in Kamsack, Michael has served as a town councillor. He also played a leadership role in

planning and fund raising for the expansion of the nursing home in Kamsack. After retiring from his full-time practice, Michael continued to serve as a physician for residents of the nursing home for many years.

Michael still supports the local health foundation and is active in welcoming newcomers to the medical community in Kamsack.

Michael has also been a leader in health care throughout the province. He is a former Senior Medical Officer of the Sunrise Health Authority. He is a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine. In addition to being awarded a lifetime membership in the Saskatchewan Medical Association, Michael served two terms on the board of directors. He has also been awarded lifetime memberships in the Saskatchewan College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Canadian Medical Association.

Michael is a recipient of the Saskatchewan Centennial Medal.

Michael brought many residents of Kamsack into the world and has cared for and supported them over the many years. He is seen as more than just a doctor, but also as someone who is genuinely interested in the lives of his patients and community.

The Saskatchewan Order of Merit was established in 1985 to recognize excellence and achievement from outstanding Saskatchewan citizens. They have made significant contributions in areas such as art, agriculture, business and industry, community leadership, public service, research and volunteer service. The Saskatchewan Order of Merit is recognized in the Canadian Honours System.

A spiced dessert for Halloween parties Halloween party hosts may want to have a variety of treats on hand to satisfy the assortment of sweet tooths in attendance. Candy might be the first thing people think of on Halloween, but cakes and cookies can make for delicious treats as well.

Borrowing from the flavors of the season, including pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg, “Spiced Pumpkin Cake” from “Real Simple: Easy, Delicious Home Cooking (Time Home Entertainment)” from the editors of Real Simple can be a welcome addition to any Halloween spread.

SPICE PUMPKIN CAKE Serves 12 •1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for

the pan •3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for the pan •5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice •1-1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder •3⁄4 teaspoon baking soda •1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt •1-1⁄2 cups granulated sugar •3 large eggs •1 - 15-ounce can pumpkin puree •1⁄2 cup whole milk •1⁄4 cup molasses •1-1⁄4 cups confectioners’ sugar •2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Heat oven to 350 F. Butter and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.

In a large bowl, whisk

together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium-high heat until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. One at a time, beat in the eggs.

Beat in the pumpkin puree, milk, and molasses (the mixture may appear curdled). Reduce the mixer speed to low; gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined (do not overmix).

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to

cool completely.

In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and lemon

juice until smooth.

Drizzle over the cake. Let set before serving.

• Tip: This cake can

be baked and glazed up to one day in advance.

Store, covered at room temperature.

SGI inviting feedback regarding e-scooters SGI wants to hear from members of the public and stakeholders about potential regulation of electric scooters on public roads.

Currently, e-scooters are classified as unlicensed motor vehicles. Under The Traffic Safety Act, unlicensed vehicles are not permitted to be used

on any public roads in Saskatchewan, with certain exceptions.* (The Traffic Safety Act does not apply to the use of e-scooters on municipal sidewalks or pathways – where municipalities can regulate them – or on private property.)

The increasing prevalence of e-scooters has prompted some recent

public discussion around where and when they should be allowed to be used. SGI will be meeting with municipalities, law enforcement, safety organizations and business owners to hear their thoughts on any potential changes to provincial legislation.

SGI also welcomes feedback from members of the general public who have opinions on this topic.

Any business, organization or individual cit-

izen who wants to weigh in can email autofundpartnershipsupport@sgi. sk.ca no later than Nov. 1, 2021. SGI will gather feedback throughout the fall before deciding whether to make any recommendations to government for legislative changes.

If a decision was made to allow e-scooters to be legally operated on public roads, The Traffic Safety Act would need to be amended by the provincial government. Any

legislative amendment would have to address issues regarding safety, particularly for on-road use, and consider factors like inexperienced drivers, speeds and equipment. *The Traffic Safety Act does have exemptions for some types of unlicensed motor vehicles that allows for their use on public roads, under certain conditions: • p o w e r- a s s i s t e d bicycles that meet feder-

al standards, when ridden by someone 14 years of age or older, wearing an approved helmet; • self-propelled farm implements being used for agricultural use; •self-propelled industrial and construction machines; and, • golf carts when operating under a municipal bylaw approved

by SGI, when taking the most direct route to or from a municipal golf course on municipal roads.

Come walk with us: tales from an epic journey

By Kulchera Nicholson Courtesy of Canora Courier Currently on their second year of walking across Canada on foot, Dr. Sonya Richmond and Sean Morton recently passed through the communities of Kamsack and Canora. In 2019, with the intention to disconnect from office culture, the couple sold their home and all of their belongings to engage in a fouryear, 27,000 kilometre trek across Canada via the Trans Canada Trail.

Richmond said her love of birds, nature, and the outdoors led her to a career in environmental conservation, while Morton has transitioned into the world of freelance writing and landscape photography. The couple hopes to raise awareness, appreciation, and connection to the beautiful and fascinating birds and natural habitats across Canada that help us recognize the value of our natural resources for own health, well-being, and longterm survival.

Between Duck Mountain Provincial Park and Good Spirit Provincial Park they have seen American White Pelicans, Common Loons, Red-Necked Greebes, Franklin’s Gulls and many prairie Swallows.

As they passed through the Manitoba/ Saskatchewan border, Richmond shared some insights from what might be considered the midpoint of the couple’s adventure.

Q. How did you and Sean meet?

Richmond: We met in Peterborough, Ontario while attending Trent University. As students we spent a lot of time camping and kayaking together in provincial parks.

Q. How did you come up with the original idea to distance hike together?

Richmond: We both had desk jobs, and didn’t enjoy spending all day sitting in front of computers. We were begin-

ning to feel like the digital world was taking over our lives and those of our family members, and that we were becoming increasingly disconnected from nature, ourselves, and each other.

In 2016 we walked across Spain on the 800 km Camino Frances, and we liked that so much we walked across France on the 780 km Via Podiensis the following year, and then across Portugal on the Camino Portuguese.

While in Europe we were frequently asked why we weren’t hiking across Canada, since we were Canadians and Canada is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

When the Trans Canada Trail announced it was officially connected for Canada’s 150th anniversary, we decided to hike across our own country to learn as much about it as we could.

Q. How long did this trip take to plan? Who would you like to credit as sponsors/supporters?

Richmond: It took us about a year to plan the hike. We began by learning about the trail, and figuring out how long we thought it would take to hike it, and what we would need. Then we sold our home to pay for the walk, donated most of our possessions to charity, and left our desk jobs behind.

During our first year we were supported by Birds Canada, whom we worked with to reach out to new audiences to inspire people, and especially youth, to become interested in birding and protecting important habitats for birds.

In our second year we collaborated with the Trans Canada Trail to share information about the birds and wildlife that can be found along the trail, and to inspire Canadians to explore the trail for themselves.

In 2021 we are currently a Royal Canadian Geographical Society Expedition dedicated to making Canada better known to Canadians and the world. Our goal is to inspire people of all ages, physical abilities, and

cultural backgrounds to reconnect with nature and explore Canada for themselves.

Q. How many hours do you hike daily?

Richmond: We generally hike for about eight hours a day, preferring to cover between 25 and 35 km per day. However, the distance we cover depends on trail conditions, terrain, weather, and how many beautiful and interesting things we spend time exploring and photographing along the way. In bad weath-

er we’ve hiked five km per day, and in places where we couldn’t find anywhere to stop we’ve done 60 km.

Q. Can you describe any frightening or extraordinary things you have seen so far?

Richmond: On a trek like this you can easily get a little nervous of the unknown, but largely we have had the opportunity to enjoy extraordinary moments on the trail.

We have learned so much about the country, met so many amazing people,

and enjoyed so much time in nature.

We have been the first to see the sunrise in North America, we have scaled cliffs on rope ladders, walked along coastal footpaths, seen icebergs and puffins, spent evenings on the sides of crystal clear lakes, and gone days in remote wilderness without meeting anyone else.

We have seen whales and seals in the Atlantic Ocean, watched herds of caribou, encountered moose and deer on the

trail, heard coyotes call throughout the evenings, had run-ins with black bears, and of course seen hundreds of birds! We have visited National Parks, explored provincial reserves, sat in ancient cathedrals, forded ice cold rivers, wandered vast tidal flats and even waded into the Atlantic Ocean in a section where the trail was washed out. On the way, some of our experiences have even been a little unusual – as we have Continued on Page 12

line of their hand onto the paper and cut it out. They can then decorate the cutout of their hand so that it looks like a monster.

1. PUMPKIN SEED COLLAGE This craft will allow you to use up your leftover pumpkin seeds. You’ll also need paint, paintbrushes, glue, glitter and a sheet of paper. Start by painting the seeds different colours. Then, ask your children to paint a Halloween-themed picture, such as a bat, a haunted house or a witch, and decorate it with the colourful pumpkin seeds. Lastly, your children can top off their creations with glue and glitter.

3. GLOW-IN-THE-DARK PUMPKINS Instead of carving your pumpkin, paint it with neon glow-in-the-dark paint.

You can paint the entire pumpkin one colour, and then add shapes and designs using a different colour. Finish it off by using a marker to draw eyes, a nose and a mouth.

Use your markers, pencils or crayons to get these monsters ready for Halloween.

These easy craft ideas can be enjoyed by kids of all ages. And if you don’t have the required materials lying around your house, you can take a fun family trip to the local craft store.

Old mill work earns provincial awards

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Historic Mill Society (YHMS), has been selected by Heritage Saskatchewan for two of their four awards for 2021.

The local project has been chosen for the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan Heritage Award in the Physical Heritage Conservation category, and in the Public Outreach category.

Larry Pearen with the YHMS said it was suggested they apply because “the mill committee

has worked and done great restoration.”

So Pearen said he prepared a package and sent it off.

“I was shocked we were selected in both categories,” he said.

Pearen said the project had received recognition locally, but added, “when it’s provincial it makes it special.”

The recognition is something the YHMS can build on, offered Pearen.

“I think the important thing is you can put that in your portfolio – that you’re provincially recognized,” he said.

On a more personal note for the committee Pearen said the awards also “recognize all the volunteer hours.”

Preparation for the submission was also an opportunity for some reflection.

“You forget what’s actually been done over the years,” said Pearen. “There’s still lots to do, but we’ve come a long way.”

The awards will be presented

by His Honour, the Honourable Russell Mirasty, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, at the Awards Ceremony at Government House in Regina on Tuesday, Nov. 2nd.

Simple fun with really big monsters As we draw nearer the night of witches, goblins and other greebleys, it is perhaps natural to also think of the great monsters of legend and lore.

In terms of modern lore, thanks to the big screen, two monsters stand out above the rest, King Kong and Godzilla.

Which one is the ultimate monster is the stuff of protracted geek debates for years.

But they are not alone on the big screen.

Pacific Rim and its sequel gave us skyscraper tall Jaegers, (giant human driven robots), battling massive monster Kaiju. Frankly the first

movie in the franchise is better than any rendition of Kong or Godzilla in my mind.

So, we still love our monsters, although in some cases being big and scary-looking does not mean you are bad, a storyline going back at least as far as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein released in 1818.

Not surprisingly then is that monsters make it to the gaming table.

One that has proven interesting for lovers of miniature games is Monsterpocalypse – generally referred to simply as MonPoc by its fans.

The game was first

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com released in 2008 by Privateer Press, the company which first hit the marketplace with Warmachine, a battle game with huge ‘steam jacks’ controlled by warcasters leading varied forces into large scale battles. It is a great

large battle mini game with outstanding quality sculpts and detailed lore.

It is easily our group’s pick for big battles.

MonPoc is lite fair by comparison.

Players initially took control of one ‘monster’ supported by a few eas-

ily destroyed forces, and rumble through a cityscape smashing buildings, and looking to pummel the rival monster.

Out of the gate Privateer Press covered the big monsters, or at least paid homage to them. A giant gorilla might not be specifically named King Kong, but everyone knows the big screen monkey was the inspiration.

A dinosaur was an early release might well have Godzilla, and some big ‘bots’ were very much a tribute to Japanese Gundam – giant fictional military robots from cartoons.

In a democracy, nothing is more vital than a healthy, vibrant local news media. But the threats from Big Tech are increasing every day.

The government’s 100-day plan will place Canada in the front ranks of global leadership standing up for local news. The commitment is clear. All parties in Parliament support decisive action. Now is the time to act and pass legislation by early 2022.

Privateer Press went for simple play over depth here. There is some balancing, when to attack with finite supply of dice to roll on a turn, but this is in-your-face, smash-mouth fighting.

Grab the opponents monster, toss it into a building to do damage, then shoot in the face with a rocket and repeat before it returns the favour inkind.

The game went through a relaunch, has added rules for playing with two or three monsters a side, and of course a plethora of added monsters.

There are now Martians straight out of H.G. Wells’ 1897 release War of the Worlds, beasts from the world of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos first seen in a book from 1926, plus giant plants and subterranean mole monsters.

More recently the designers threw off the shackles of popular lore and are being a bit more self-creative with funky space dragons and geometric weirdness coming out of the ‘8th Dimension’, and we are now getting early looks at forthcoming monsters from Aztec lore – easily Privateer Press’ best work on MonPoc to-date.

Along the way they have added rules regarding buildings too.

When you smash some you gain benefits. In other cases, it behooves you to protect certain buildings as they offer benefits to you while standing. This has offered an added layer to the game, and is brilliant marketing as Privateer Press markets buildings to populate the city game map.

So you have a few more in-game decisions now 13 years after first release, and certainly more monsters – we must have 35 and are drooling in wait of the release of several more, but this is still about as simple a mini game as you can find, yet it is fun smashing monsters into goo in the rubble of a power plant, or newspaper headquarters.

Well worth a try, but beware the desire to buy monsters quickly becomes an addiction.

Terriers split weekend series with Humboldt

By Tanner Wallace-Scribner Staff Writer This weekend, the Yorkton Terriers (2-7-00) were in action against the Humboldt Broncos (6-3-0-0) in a home-andhome.

In Game 1, the Terriers used two early goals and solid goaltending to beat the Humboldt Broncos Friday night.

Yorkton opened the scoring with a goal from Maddux Nollski (4) just 43 seconds into the game.

Just eight seconds later, Steven Norum would score his first of the season to give the Terriers a two-goal lead in the first minute.

The Broncos would cut the lead to one as Ethan Zielke scored his first of the season shorthanded.

Both teams would do all they could to try and muster offence, but both goaltenders would shut the door for the rest of the game, as Terriers backstop Kael DePape would make 20 saves in a 2-1 Yorkton win.

In Game 2 of the homeand-home, Yorkton again opened up the scoring once again as JD Hall (2) scored. Humboldt would respond with two goals in the first as Connor McGrath and Lucas Ceccarelli both scored.

The second period

until Connor McGrath scored his second of the game for Humboldt to give them a 3-1 lead.

The score would remain that way as the Broncos skated off with a split in the series.

The Terriers improved to 3-8-0-0 on the season and picked up their first home win on Friday

night. Next, up for the Terriers, they host the Weyburn Red Wings (3-41-0) on Tuesday.

October 22, 2021 | This Week Marketplace

COME WALK Continued from Page 7 walked on the ocean floor with goats, slept in a haunted jail cell, been actors in local plays for Parks Canada, trekked through snow blizzards, sheltered from hail and tropical storms, hiked amid tornado warnings, and survived a hurricane.

In the last 14 months – like everyone else – we quarantined during a Global Pandemic.

The Trans Canada Trail has led us through remote country farmlands and quiet rural communities, across huge urban centers, to peaceful lakes surrounded by exclusive cottages, and to long abandoned ghost towns.

We have climbed down coastal cliffs, crawled under fallen trees, navigated through forests, balanced across beaver dams which were as long as soccer fields, ventured along railways, spend days struggling through thick prairie mud, spent weeks at a time hiking in driving rain, and fighting against westerly winds.

We have struggled over the unrelenting yet awe-

inspiring rugged coastlines of Northern Lake Superior, visited indigenous petroglyphs, walked around an ancient Giant and along the rim of a meteor crater.

Best of all however, along the way we’ve also experienced overwhelming generosity, random acts of kindness, and countless words of encouragement.

Q. Does the wildfire smoke affect your trip?

Richmond: When we were crossing Manitoba we had a few days where the smoke from wildfires was really thick, and it covered us with an oily slime. The day we crossed from Roblin, Man. to Duck Mountain Provincial Park we had sore throats from the smoke and trouble catching our breath, and at the end of the day our clothes smelled like we’d been sitting beside a campfire all day. However, we’ve been extraordinarily lucky that the fires haven’t been in our immediate vicinity, and with the exception of

the backcountry trails in Spruce Woods Provincial Park, Man. we haven’t run into any trail closures yet.

Q. Any injuries or health concerns along the way?

Richmond: So far we’ve been very lucky not to experience any major injuries. This year our biggest challenge has been dealing with the extreme heat. Hiking with a backpack effectively raises the temperature for a hiker about 10 C, and there have been a few days in the low 40’s, which were difficult for us out on the exposed gravel roads. We carry sun umbrellas to provide some portable shade, and carry extra water to stay hydrated.

Q. What changes have you noticed in your overall health since you’ve started this practice?

Richmond: We’ve been lucky to experience some of the physical and mental health benefits of spending time in nature.

Each spring when we set out our bodies gradually become stronger and we both lose weight

over the course of the summer. This boosts our energy levels, and gives us a sense of personal achievement and satisfaction.

Q. What has been the effect on your mental/emotional/spiritual health?

Richmond: Being out in nature and meeting people along the trail has generally been an overwhelmingly positive experience. There are moments on the trail which have challenged us both mentally and physically, but often we have no choice but to continue, and coming through those moments together has made us mentally and emotionally stronger. Each challenge we overcome gives us a bit more strength to face the next one, making this a journey of growth and personal change.

Q. Do you ever feel bored while hiking long stretches? If so, how do you deal?

Richmond: Before we headed out we were afraid we’d get bored on the trail, but each

day brings so many new things, and so many surprises that we’re never bored. Slowing down and moving through the landscape at five kilometres per hour allows us to notice small things, like insects, birds, and wildflowers which are always there and always changing. Even when we walk through the same kind of landscape for days on end, the time of day, weather, and our moods change how we see and experience it, which helps us change our perspective to keep things interesting.

Q. How do you keep phones and cameras charged?

Richmond: We carry a battery pack to recharge our devices, which we recharge about once a week in a campground or motel.

Q. What will you do to celebrate when you reach the finish line?

Richmond: At this point it is difficult to even imagine the end of this epic journey. We will celebrate by spending time with family and friends, and then we plan to write a book about our experiences. After that, who knows?

Q. What do you enjoy the most about this adventure?

Richmond: We enjoy seeing new places, discovering new birds and wildlife along the trail, and meeting new people.

Without the incredible generosity and random acts of kindness from strangers we wouldn’t have gotten this far, and we are enormously grateful for the support and encouragement along the way.

Q. What do you miss the most about being home?

Richmond: Being on the trail has given us a new appreciation for running water. Having a shower at the end of a long, hot day, being able to wash our clothes after a dusty day on the roads, not having to ration our drinking water, and having access to cold drinking water when it’s hot outside are things we really miss out here on the trail.

Q. What is the most important message you want people to understand about what you are doing?

Richmond: We are walking a 27,000 km long trail that connects communities and Canadians from coast-to-coast-tocoast. The landscapes, birds, and wildlife we are privileged to see along the way are part of our natural heritage. Nature is for everyone, and we all have a role to play in protecting our natural resources for future generations. We are trying to inspire youth through birding and Citizen Science to become the next generation of environmental stewards

and engaged community leaders. We can all make a difference if we work together.

Q. What have you learned about the trail that truly surprised you?

Richmond: Walking the trail has given us a much deeper understanding of Canadian history and culture than we ever expected. We’ve walked through fishing villages in Newfoundland, learned about Acadian culture in the Maritimes, early French exploration and the fur trade in northern Ontario, pioneer history, and the settlement of the prairies in Manitoba and Saskatchewan by a diverse mosaic of different cultures. We’ve also learned about First Nations and Métis history as we cross the land that was traditionally part of First Nation’s territories.

The Trans Canada Trail connects us all, and gives us a deeper appreciation of the ties that bind us together.

Q. Do you ever just want to quit? What is the hardest part?

Richmond: The hardest part of this hike so far has been living through months of COVID lockdowns off the trail, when our only interactions with the real world were through social media. Our hike became an outlet for the uncertainty, fear, and frustration many felt as a result of the pandemic, and we experienced unceasing criticism and daily death threats that had no basis in reality.

At times this discouraged is to the point of wanting to give up, but it also renewed our conviction that helping youth to develop a strong connection with nature and themselves is necessary to help them gain the self-confidence and experience to navigate the online world.

Q. Best product or tip for hikers that you’ve learned along the way?

Richmond: Our best advice for hikers is to start small, figure out what works for you, and don’t be discouraged.

Gear forums are a great place to learn about what options are out there, but people will often say you’ll never make it, or you’ll die on the trail unless you have a certain piece of clothing, a specific brand of gear, or the physical ability to complete a trail in a certain amount of time or in a certain way. Everyone is different, we all do things in our own ways, and that is okay. Our advice is to know yourself and figure out what gear, what pace, and what comfort level you need to have an enjoyable experience.

$24,930 raised for Intensive Care Unit The Charity Road Race has played out in a much different way for the past two years.

Once again, it was conducted as a virtual run, which means that the participants ran on their own or with a few friends while appropriately social distancing.

The race took place from Aug. 15 to 31.

“We were not sure what to expect with a repeat of a Virtual Road Race, given the environment we are living in with Covid-19. However, the Charity Road Race was very successful, said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation.

In large part the Road Race was successful because Geoff Propp, Vice President and General Manager of

Harvest Meats, promoted the run and collected pledges.

Geoff Propp was the top fundraiser for the event, collecting $18,823 in pledges.

“Fundraising on behalf of the Health Foundation continues to be a privilege” said Propp. “The Road Race has been near and dear to Harvest Meats from the time we began participating.

“I feel as though there has never been a more important time to support the work of the Foundation. The past 18 months have been an incredibly challenging time for us all, particularly those who work in healthcare, who I hold in the highest regard.

We could not be more pleased to help where we

can. Our community continues to benefit thanks to the Health Foundation, we are happy to be a part of making Yorkton a better place to live and raise a family.”

“We are very fortunate to have the strong support from Legacy Co-op and Harvest Meats, especially in a very difficult year. While this is a difficult year, there is still equipment that needs to be purchased for the hospital to maintain the services we have here. The continuing support of these businesses help us to do that,” added Fisher.

This year the funds raised will assist the purchase of a Cardiac Monitor and Defibrillator for the Intensive Care Unit at the Yorkton Regional Hospital.

Chamber proud of small business

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Government of Saskatchewan has recognized the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) Small Business WeekTM taking place Oct. 18 to Oct. 22.

The week, launched more than 40-years ago, celebrates the important contributions of small businesses to Saskatchewan’s economy.

Small businesses are classified as having less than 50 employees. They are a source of quality jobs and account for 99 per cent of the almost 150,000 business enterprises in the province.

“Small businesses are the backbone of a community,” said Juanita Polegi, Executive Director of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce. “When small businesses thrive, the community thrives. That’s why it’s so important for citizens to support small business in their communities.”

Polegi said small business is typically operated by those in the community.

“Small business owners most often reside in the communities in which their businesses are located,” she told Yorkton This Week. “They tend to spend their money locally.

“In fact, in a recent study commissioned by the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, it stated that another study showed that over 50 per cent of revenue from local retailers is recirculated within the local economy.”

In making the provincial announcement Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison noted the history of entrepreneurs in Saskatchewan.

“Saskatchewan has a strong history of entrepreneurial spirit and small businesses continue to play a vital role in the province,” he said in a release.

“Small businesses are active in virtually every sector of the economy, providing vital jobs, products and services, which often turn into the kind of success that grows an economy, and a province. The Government of Saskatchewan is proud to recognize this week to celebrate the contribution small businesses make to the growth of our province’s economy.”

Small businesses provide significant benefits to Saskatchewan’s economy. In 2020, small businesses employed 30 per cent of Saskatchewan’s workers and paid out almost $6.8 billion in wages and salaries, which was 25 per cent of the province’s total payroll. Small businesses generated 29 per cent of Saskatchewan’s gross domestic product (GDP).

The number of small businesses has grown from 95,066 in 2010 to 146,016 in 2020, a 54 per cent increase.

In 2020, there were 124 small businesses for every 1,000 people in Saskatchewan, which is second highest per capita in Canada.

The Government of Saskatchewan continues to invest in initiatives, services and programs that support small businesses in the province. Some of these include: • The Saskatchewan Technology Start-Up Incentive, which offers a 45 per cent non-refundable tax credit for individual and corporate equity investments in eligible technology start-up businesses; • The Product-2Market: Value Added incentive which helps support small- and medium-sized agribusinesses, from product development through to marketing activities; • The Canada-Saskatchewan Job Grant, an employer-driven program which helps employers train new

The reduced rate applies to up to $600,000 taxable income per year in Saskatchewan and will be pro-rated for taxation years that include periods with different tax rates.

• Tax credits for labour-sponsored Venture Capital Corporation Funds that raise up to $70 million annually from Saskatchewan residents and invest the capital in small- and medium-sized Saskatchewan businesses.

• A highly competitive tax structure, which includes tax credits for research and development, as well as for manufacturing and processing equipment expenditures; and • The proclamation of the Regulatory Modernization and Accountability Act in 2013, to ultimately remove red tape that could be a road block to business, and to remove some of the barriers to growth.

5 ways to reduce your risk of breast cancer October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which makes it an ideal opportunity to learn more about one of the most common cancers among Canadian women. Since about one in eight women will develop breast cancer at some point in her life, here are some ways you can lower your risk.

1. Maintain a healthy body weight. Being obese increases your risk of breast cancer. Eat well and exercise regularly to help you manage your weight.

2. Be physically active. Research shows that regular exercise can lower your risk of breast cancer.

Aim to do at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity per week.

3. Limit your alcohol intake.

Since drinking alcohol can increase your risk of breast cancer, you should limit yourself to less than one drink per day.

4. Don’t smoke. Get the help you need to quit smoking, or avoid developing the habit altogether.

You should also steer clear of second-hand smoke.

5. Follow screening guidelines.

While a mammography won’t prevent cancer, it can catch the disease early, giving you more treatment options and a better prognosis.

DID YOU KNOW? Having at least one full-term pregnancy, particularly before the age of 30, lowers a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime. Breastfeeding can also protect against this type of cancer.

Triple-negative breast cancer: a more aggressive yet lesser-known disease Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of the disease that accounts for about 10 to 15 per cent of all breast cancers.

While rare, this type of cancer tends to be most common in women under 40 and among those of African and Asian ancestry.

FEWER TREATMENT OPTIONS Unlike other types of breast cancer,TNBC has limited treatment options. This is because the tumours don’t have receptors for estrogen, progesterone or HER2 — hence the term “triplenegative.” As a result, hormone therapy and targeted drugs are ineffective against this type of breast cancer.

THE LATEST ADVANCES Fortunately, research on TNBC has led to the development of specific treatments that have been shown to improve the prognosis of those affected.
