Their bags are packed, young Burrowing Owls are moving out! Regina, SK – August 3rd, 2022 - The time has come for young Burrowing Owls to jump into the real world. Early August marks the beginning of a new life stage for juvenile Burrowing Owls as they say goodbye to mom and dad’s grocery shopping and home cooking, and begin leaving the nest to forage for themselves. During this transition period, the young owls are practicing their hunting and flying skills and continually gaining more independence. While this time of year is great for spotting Burrowing Owls, it is a dangerous season for the ever-learning young Burrowing Owls. Roadside foraging is a common activity for the young owls, introducing the danger of vehicles. “At dusk the road surface tends to be warmer than surrounding grasslands, attracting many small insects and rodents,” explains Kaytlyn Burrows, coordinator of Operation Burrowing Owl, “As a result young owls are also attracted to the road and ditch when they begin searching for prey.” Each year, young foraging Burrowing Owls are injured or killed by vehicles
along roadsides. The steady decline of the Burrowing Owl population has made the survival of each and every juvenile owl critical for the persistence and growth of the population. Luckily, those of us driving in rural Saskatchewan can play our individual parts in conserving the Burrowing Owl species. Kaytlyn Burrows suggests that “when motorists are driving in rural areas, particularly nearby pasture land, it’s important that they take a few extra minutes and slow down. This will reduce the risk of owlvehicle collisions”. Slowing down will also increase your chances of spotting this endangered bird! Burrowing Owls tend to be found nesting in well-grazed native or tame prairie. Their nest itself is recycled from a burrow dug by burrowing mammals such as badgers or ground squirrels (gophers). The surrounding short vegetation allows for long sight lines from the burrow so that they can easily spot nearby predators. If you are lucky enough to spot a Burrowing Owl, you might see it standing at its burrow entrance, on a fence post, or foraging
in a ditch. Burrowing Owls are quite small! They stand only 9 inches tall with featherless legs, they can be compared to a pop can on stilts. Additionally, they’ve got bushy white ‘eyebrows’, and their feathers are a mottled brown and white. Nature Saskatchewan has been involved with the protection and conservation of the Burrowing Owl for 35 years, relying on the help of landowners, land managers, and the public. Operation Burrowing Owl partners with stewards across southern and central Saskatchewan, and uses voluntary agreements in an effort to conserve the rapidly disappearing habitat required by the owls, as well as to monitor the Saskatchewan population. The program works alongside steward practices, and the land continues to be used in a way that benefits the steward. “If you see a Burrowing Owl, please give us a call on our toll-free Hoot Line, at 1-800-667-HOOT (4668) or email obo@ naturesask.ca,” Burrows mentions. “You will be helping to monitor the
population and aid with conservation efforts.” Information provided is never shared without permission.

X-rays allow us to quickly develop high-strength steels SASKATOON – Synchrotron analyses could be used to fasttrack the development of novel high-strength steel designs. Knowing how strong a piece of steel is, especially the stainless steel used in everything from cars to buildings, is vitally important for the people who make and use it. This information helps to keep people safe during crashes and to prevent buildings from collapsing. Accurately predicting the strength of a steel prototype based on its microstructure and composition would be indispensable when designing new types of steel, but it has been nearly impossible to achieve — until now. “Designing/making the best-strength steel is the hardest task,” said Dr. Harishchandra Singh, an adjunct professor at NANOMO and the Centre for Advanced
Steels Research at the University of Oulu in Finland. Estimating the contribution of various factors towards designing highstrength novel steel has traditionally required numerous tests that can take months, according to Singh. Each test also requires a new sample of the prototype. Instead, Singh and colleagues used the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan to predict the strength of a novel steel. They shone the facility’s synchrotron light on a small cube of steel and analyzed the diffraction pattern it produced as the powerful X-rays passed through it. This created data on the crystal structure of the steel that the researchers used to predict its material properties, including strength, through an analytical model. The team found
that these predictions matched up exactly with the data from time intensive, traditional labbased tests. The team’s method offers a new way to predict the yield strength for highly alloyed complex steel. The process could also help to engineer novel steels through a better understanding of the relationship between a steel’s microstructure and its mechanical properties. Not only was the synchrotron-based method for analyzing steel just as reliable as traditional testing, but it was much faster and required far less material. “We can get complete information about the crystalline microstructures from the synchrotron in one hour, rather than spending a couple of months on various lab-based testing,” he said. Their findings were published recently in the Journal of
Materials Research and Technology. This rapid and accurate synchrotron-based method of testing could be extremely helpful to the steel industry to approximate the strength of the developed steels and could save months compared to standard routes, said Singh. “Steel companies make hundreds of batches of steel. With synchrotron testing, they could have precise results from every batch the same day,” he said. Going forward, steel developers can use synchrotron analyses to quickly and accurately predict the strength of novel steel prototypes and use the data to help identify what elements of a prototype are beneficial or not. This faster method for assessing and developing steel could lead to better building materials coming on the market.

Grand opening to be held for the Constable Shelby Patton Memorial Park The Constable Shelby Patton Memorial Park Development Committee is pleased to announce the Grand Opening Ceremony of the new park in Indian Head, Saskatchewan. After nearly one year of fundraising, design and construction, the park will be officially opened on Saturday, August 20, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. at the park on the corner of Eberts and Water Street. The ceremony will be open to anyone who wishes to honor Constable Patton’s service and pay their respects to the life of Shelby. There will be a parade of uniformed RCMP members in Troops in Review Order accompanied by the Regina RCMP Pipe and
Drum Band. Troops of uniformed RCMP members will march from the Indian Head Detachment to the park dedication in Troop formation. Dignitary speeches will follow and attendees will have a chance to explore the park. On June 12, 2021 Constable Shelby Patton, a member of the Indian Head RCMP, was tragically killed in the line of duty after responding to a report of a stolen vehicle. The loss of Constable Patton was felt deeply by the community of Indian Head and surrounding area. Requests were made from the public to commemorate Constable Patton’s sacrifice and service to his community. In response to this,
the Town of Indian Head along with a communitybased volunteer committee began developing a Memorial Park in his honor. “The development of the Constable Shelby Patton Memorial Park has been an incredibly meaningful project for each of the development committee members” said Devin Pugh, a member of the Development Committee. “To be able to channel the overwhelming community support and appreciation for Shelby’s service into a project like this has been an astonishingly positive experience.” In August of 2021, the committee had announced a fundraising goal of $150,000. By
December they had already surpassed it and to date have raised nearly $225,000. The success is a reflection of the tremendous sense of meaning this project has for everyone involved. “I have witnessed how much this
project has personally touched each and every committee member and how this energy has resulted in the development of a great tribute to who Shelby was and how he would have liked to be remembered,” said Pugh.
The Constable Shelby Patton Memorial Park Development Committee would like to once again share their sincere gratitude for the support that has been shown to the project from across the country.
USask research aims to improve water management with better streamflow forecasts SASKATOON – A team led by University of Saskatchewan (USask) researcher Dr. Martyn Clark (PhD) has been awarded $180,000 over three years by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to improve seasonal streamflows forecasts for river basins across the country. Given the huge challenges climate change is posing, with unprecedented floods devastating communities across Canada and prolonged droughts contributing to increased wildfire damage and economic losses in agriculture and other economic sectors, reliable forecasts are increasingly important. “This research helps us manage our precious freshwater resources,” said Clark, professor in the Department of Geography and Planning in USask’s College of Arts and Science. “Our streamflow forecasts will help in guiding water use decisions for irrigation and water supplies, optimizing hydropower production, and anticipating flood events.” Clark, along with his post-doctoral student Dr. Louise Arnal (PhD), and research colleague Dr. Alain Pietroniro (PhD) of the University of Calgary, aims to improve forecasting streamflows several months in advance by
focusing on two main sources. The first is the knowledge researchers have about the amount of moisture stored in a river basin—in the form of snowpack—at the start of the spring forecast period. The team will analyze and interpret available data to build statistical models that predict the relationships between snowpack and streamflow. They also use complex physics-based approaches to hydrological simulation to estimate snowmelt and runoff from spring into the summer. The second focus is on predicting the weather and climate over the seasonal forecast period, with the accuracy of

the streamflow estimate dependent on how well they do in prognosticating the weather for lead times ranging from a few seconds to many weeks. “Often, what we are finding is that most of our predictability comes from snow,” said Clark. With highly sophisticated mathematical modelling and data collection methods available to them through a synergistic relationship with the USask-led panCanadian Global Water Futures (GWF) program, the team can take measures to diminish the unpredictability inherent to streamflow forecasts. “A lot of our work is possible because of the computational infra-
structure that was built as part of GWF, but this work is funded separately,” he said. Clark notes that USask water researchers have been working with ECCC for years to develop capabilities in stream forecasting, and this collaborative research is gaining attention worldwide. “Our research is leading to several new projects with the United States, the European Union and other international partners.” Among those new projects arising out of research done in relation with ECCC is the newly established Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH), headquartered at the University

Pietroniro, Clark, and his USask departmental colleague, Distinguished Professor Dr. John Pomeroy (PhD), are the Canadian contingent on CIROH, which is bringing together experts from the U.S. and Canada to develop next-generation
water prediction capabilities. Clark said his team’s streamflow project, funded through the ECCC award and $46,000 of inkind support from USask, will be synergistic with CIROH because both countries have similar challenges with modelling streamflows, which opens up the scope for greater collaboration.

EDITORIAL The great Bill Mosienko remembered in book You need to be a hockey fan of a certain age – most certainly a greyhaired one, or a bit of a hockey historian to know the name Bill Mosienko. And, even historically he is usually bestremembered for a mere 21-seconds when he scored three goals in a game – setting the mark for the fastest hat trick in NHL history, a record that will never likely be challenged, but there is much more to Mosienko’s career. The full story is told in a recent book Mosienko: The Man Who Caught Lightning In A Bottle by Ty Dilello. When I picked up the book I admit I knew about the three-goal record, and that Mosienko had been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame after a long career with the Chicago Black Hawks – 14 seasons – but he was retired from the NHL a half decade before I was born so I knew few details. Dilello did a fine job of telling Mosienko’s story, from growing up in Winnipeg through his long career, to retiring back to the ‘Peg where he operated a bowling alley for years. Dilello said he has always “been really passionate” about hockey, and as a journalist has written several books on the sport. As he was researching the 28-year-old author became aware of
Mosienko. “I was kind of surprised something wasn’t already done on him,” he said in a recent interview with Yorkton This Week. So Dilello took on the job undertaking “a deeper dive into his life . . . I sort of reached out to his family . . . They were helpful on every step.” The Mosienko story is one that is more than just a hall of fame NHL career, said Dilello. “He was such a great ambassador here in Manitoba for the sport,” he said. That said, Mosienko did star in the NHL in a time of no helmets, six teams and lots of rough and tumble hockey. How tough was it? Well Dilello writes about it in the book where he included some of Mosienko’s own reflections. “Early on, Jack Shewchuk of Boston pushed me into the boards, and I twisted my left ankle. I’ve missed quite a bit of playing time since then, too, with various injuries. In 1945-46, Bill Moe of the Rangers checked me, and I got torn ligaments in my knee. Later that year, Don Grosso of Detroit bumped me into the boards, which resulted in a shoulder separation. “In the 1947 All-Star game, Jim Thomson of Toronto checked me into the boards, my skate caught, and I had a broken ankle. I also

Sports had a separation in my other shoulder; torn knee ligaments four times; a fractured toe; a fractured cheekbone – but I didn’t miss any playing time – and a fractured nose three times. “Ted Lindsay and Elmer Lach were pretty handy with the stick. Howe plays for keeps. He’s brought up that way, and he stops at nothing to stop you. I played against Richard for many years, and he never did anything dirty to me. I never once saw him start anything, but they were on him all the time, and he just naturally blew up.” While they only stayed together for two seasons, Mosienko was for a time part of one of – if not the greatest – line combinations of the era, forming the ‘Pony Line’ with Max and Doug Bentley from Delisle, Sask. “The Bentleys were two of the greatest hockey players of all time,” said Dilello, adding they were both great skaters as was Mosienko, and all three are in the Hall of Fame. The Bentleys figure
rather prominently in the book, with Dilello actually spending time in Delisle with Max Bentley’s oldest son. Dilello said he left the town wondering “why the town doesn’t do a bit more to remember them (the Bentleys),” going as far as to suggest the arena should at least be named after the great NHLers. The book however, is generally a biography telling the story of Mosienko, “from his childhood spent skating on the rinks of Winnipeg’s North End in the 1920s and 30s to his illustrious fourteen-year NHL career to his return to Winnipeg to play with the Winnipeg Warriors to his post-retirement career as the owner of the iconic Mosienko Bowling Lanes,” noted www.greatplains.mb.ca publishers of the book. Two things which became evident throughout the book were Mosienko was a gifted skater and a truly nice guy. The speed was critical. Mosienko played in

As for being a nice guy, Dilello foreshadowed that about Mosienko in his introduction where he wrote: “With that, I learned early on in writing this book that while Mosienko was a worldclass hockey player, he was more importantly a world-class person. A people person, Bill was a genuine guy that loved to just talk to different people, regardless of their background.
Understanding how motor proteins shape our cells SASKATOON – Tiny motors play large roles in our cells and are targets for new therapies. Understanding the busy networks inside our cells can help researchers develop new cancer treatments and prevent dangerous fungal infections. With the help of the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan, a research team led by John Allingham from Queen’s University and Hernando Sosa from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine has shed light on a protein that regulates the intricate microscopic networks that give cells their shape and help ship important molecules to diverse locations. Using the CMCF beamline at the CLS and the cryo-EM
facility at the Simons Electron Microscopy Center (SEMC) at the New York Structural Biology Center, the team found the missing pieces of an important puzzle. In their published work, they are the first group to clearly describe the mechanism of action of a tiny motor protein called Kinesin-8 that enables it to control the structures of microtubule fiber networks inside the cell. “Our recent paper in Nature Communications, co-first authored by Byron Hunter and Matthieu Benoit, shows how this specific type of kinesin motor protein has developed the ability to use microtubules as tracks for movement,” guiding transport of cargo within the cell,
said Dr. John Allingham, a professor at the Queen’s School of Medicine. “In addition to being able to disassemble these tracks, controlling their length and location in cells.” The Kinesin-8 proteins ensure that a cell’s cargo is in the right place during cellular division and help to regulate cellular networks, making sure the microtubules do not grow too long. This research provides an important strategy for cancer treatment. The team is hopeful that targeting the Kinesin-8 proteins in cancer cells could contribute to anti-cancer treatments. This strategy could also be used to develop a therapy for pathogenic fungal infections
that threaten people with compromised immune systems. Allingham said the CLS provides an invaluable training environment for his students, including PhD candidate Byron Hunter who collected the CLS data for their recent work. “The CLS platform was hugely valuable,” said Hunter. “The increase in the quality of data was enormous. We were able to screen a huge number of different crystal samples in a relatively brief period of time.” This work was supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the National Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada grant (NSERC), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
“That’s not to downplay his hockey career at all. “The son of Ukrainian immigrants, Mosienko grew up on skates in the tough working-class North End neighbourhood of Winnipeg. He spent all his time at the local rink near his house, honing his craft by skating and shooting pucks.” In our interview he added “hockey payers are pretty down to earth and Mosienko was a class above that. “I interviewed over 100 people. Nobody said a bad thing about him . . . He was an absolute gem.” So too was Dilello’s book, which is certainly worth a read about a hockey players’ greatness which maybe being forgotten to the mists of time.

USask researchers explore how floods and droughts are challenging science and society globally SASKATOON – Floods, droughts, and other water-related disasters are some of the costliest natural events that occur in Canada and around the world. Even with significant global advances in science and infrastructure designed to predict and manage such extreme disasters, many communities still face major societal and economic impacts when these events occur. In a new paper published in Nature, a team of University of Saskatchewan (USask) and international researchers presented their findings from a global investigation to determine gaps in science and policy that require reinforcement to better protect the world from droughts and floods. “Our flood and drought risk management paradigms are still based on the assumption that the past is representative of the future,” said Dr. Saman Razavi (PhD), an associate professor in USask’s School of Environment and Sustainability, the Global Institute for Water Security (GIWS), and the College of Engineering in the department of civil, geological and environmental engineering. Razavi led the Canadian contribution to the study. “We already know that this assumption is not valid in the context of flood and drought because of two reasons,” he said. “First, as a result of climate change, we are facing more extreme events not seen before, such as more severe storms, heat waves, or dry periods. Second, because of significant population growth, urbanization, floodplain settlements, or groundwater extraction, more people and assets are being exposed to floods or droughts.” Forty-five case studies from around the world were used to evaluate when, where, and how current risk management strategies might fail, and where poten-
tial improvements could be made. The research team assessed floods and droughts that occurred in the same regions over time to analyze how the occurrence of a first event may affect how a second is managed. The study found that when two flood or drought events occurred in the same region at different points in time, the second event usually produced worse effects than the first, even with infrastructure and policy changes put in place after the first event. “This counterintuitive conclusion is primarily the case when the second event is more hazardous or unprecedented than the first one—a reality of the world, and particularly in Canada under global warming and changing climate,” said Razavi. After reviewing case studies, the team learned some successful strategies for mitigating impacts of a second event from the actions of researchers in Barcelona, Spain, and in the Danube catchment in Germany and Austria. These areas implemented significant changes in risk management that reduced the impact of a second water event, such as improving governance and collaboration, using early warning and emergency response systems, and making significant investments in structural and non-structural protection measures. USask research associates Laila Balkhi and Hayley Carlson led the collection of data focused on the Ottawa River floods (2017 vs 2019) and the Assiniboine River floods (2011 vs 2014). “We’re hoping this paper can highlight the need for disaster risk management and governance systems globally to be more proactive rather than reactive in how they’re set up,” said Balkhi, co-author of the study and a project man-
ager for the Integrated Modelling Program for Canada at GIWS. “This study provided some insight into priority areas that we need to investigate and ways to be more innovative
based on what we can learn from one another in different parts of the world,” Razavi added. The Nature publication is a part of a multiyear research program on water resources mod-
this international study to improve flood and drought management practices in Canada.

A look at the games of Tim Schultz When I received an email recently from game designer Tim Schultz asking if I had seen he had created a new rule set playable with his Wizard’s Garden game, I was of course interested. Wizard’s Garden is an addictive little game with simple rules which is an ideal two-player filler game. What did surprise me was looking back it was 2019 that the original game was reviewed, so I had to ask the designer how Wizard’s Garden had done? “I think the response was good,” he replied via email. “The initial run of the X/V version of Wizard’s Garden was a small run of 1000 games. Since I’m only the designer and not the publisher, I don’t know how many of them have been sold, but according to the Board Game Geek 231 of the members there own a copy of Wizard’s Garden, and those that ranked it gave it a six or better. There has been a discussion of another run, time will tell if it comes about.” And, Schultz likes what people have said about the original game too. “Yes! I’ve read most of the comments and seen all the reviews on the Board Game Geek and they seem to have a positive opinion about both the quality of the game pieces, and the game itself,” he said. “I think X/V Games did a great job in making the

The only issue people seem to have is the use of the rule book as a piece, not because it’s being used as a piece, but because the booklet might get damaged in the bag. “Using the rulebook as a game piece and calling it the Wizard’s Tome was a pretty cool idea though. While I was self-playtesting WG 2, I carried my copy rolled up and, in my pocket, and used a small folded-up pdf I made of the Wizard’s Tome, so I could leave the booklet home.” As a quick aside a coin or business card works really well if you seek to protect the rule sheet. “The rules tweaks for the X/V version are also

my favourite,” continued Shultz. “I really like that the board is set up before you know who goes first and what colour the Wizard’s Tome is. I also like that reducing the number of pieces makes the game a little quicker (it also made it so I could eliminate one rule). “People like that it’s very quick to learn the rules and only takes 15 minutes to play, but it also takes thought to play. (Aside number two, you need to be real thinky to push most games to 15 minutes). It is easy to make a mistake if you don’t pay attention. Some comments state that you can only score if your opponent makes a mistake or he has no other choice but to make a move that lets you score, which is kind of true, because the only time you can score is if your opponent leaves a pattern you can change into four in a row. But, what about the new rules, how did they evolve? “The sliding of game pieces onto the board was one of the mechanics I was exploring when I was making the original game, but I ended up going with the drop and flip mechanic instead which worked better for the Shared Pieces Game contest -- which made it so players could not claim a colour,” explained Shultz. “Eighteen years later I started thinking about it again and I came up with WG2.” A rule set alone is hardly saleable, but as an addon it is nice, but Schultz said the rule set was created simply because he wanted to design it, “There was no real goal other than I had an idea for a game and it worked,” he said. “I’ve always been a fan of game systems -- a set of components that can be used to play several games; like a deck of 54 cards, dominoes, the piece-pack. So making it so you can play more than one game with Wizard’s Garden seemed like a fun idea.” And the games are different enough to both be enjoyed, said Schultz. “There is definitely a difference between Wizard’s Garden 1 and 2,” he said. “In WG1 you can’t set up a scoring move for yourself, your opponent has to leave one for you. In WG2 you are trying to set up scoring moves for yourself. WG2 really gets fun -- for me at least -- when there are one, or more rows of four, and you can start sliding pieces on and off the board trying to make four of the same color in a row. It has a puzzle feel to it.” While I had Schultz in an email conversation it was also a great time to ask about his 2001 creation Generatorb. Generatorb is a game you can play with a pile of two-coloured stackable pieces and a checkerboard which always interests because that combo of supplies allows a lot of great games. Generatorb was created for the 2001 8x8 Game Design Competition held by About.com and Abstract Games Magazine, while Wizard’s Garden was created for the 2004 Shared Pieces Game Design Competition held by About.com and Abstract Games Magazine. “In the 2001contest the theme was a two-player game that can be played on an 8x8 playing surface using pieces most people are likely to have around the house,” said Schultz. “Generatorb was loosely based on the game Halma. Since I learned about the contest closer to the deadline, I didn’t have a lot of time to selfplaytest before I sent it in. The updated version is a lot better than the first version, which had some flaws, but overall, I think it’s a decent game.” Of course there is a sort of pet peeve for this writer, too often today games come out and as the player base broadens flaws are unearthed, and games often get lost, with only a few seeming to ‘fix’ problems after public release. In Generatorb Schultz did tweak his game including adding a new piece, the globe. “The original game had only one-win condition, which was to capture your opponent’s corner space of their orb generator by landing one of your pieces there, which requires setting up a series of game pieces that you can use to jump other pieces over,” he explained. “The purpose of the globe is to make it so the path you create is harder for your opponent to use against you, since only you can jump pieces over your own globes.” Schultz added, “what really made the game better, was the addition of the second win condition called the Front Line. That idea came from Ryan Hackel.” As noted I often think some fine games are created, found lacking and never allowed to be ‘fixed’ with rule changes, but Schultz said it is not always easy to ‘fix’ problems in a game. “Not all games can be fixed, or at least I wasn’t able to,” he offered. “The ones that can be fixed, I guess it depends on why, and who you’re fixing them for. If the game is listed on the Board Game Geek you can always write up the fix and post it as a variant. I’ve done that for a few games there. 1313 Dead End Drive is one that comes to mind. Of course, you need a copy of the original game to play it.” For Shultz though game design is less and less part of his passions. “I still play games and create new ones occasionally, but my focus is not on games as much as it was before,” he said. It will be interesting to see what one day might stir his creative juices again.

August Traffic Spotlight: When you drive, just drive Trends change quickly on social media. But their staying power lasts a lot longer than your commute. Rest assured, your genius TikTok dance or photos of your delicious lunch can wait until you arrive at your destination. Scrolling through and posting to your social media channels is not a priority when you’re driving. In fact, it’s not
even an option. Offenders face a $580 ticket and four demerits for either: • holding, using, manipulating or viewing a handheld cellphone, or • driving without due care and attention. Repeat offences within one year result in significantly higher ticket costs ($1,400 for a second ticket; $2,100 for a third), and seven-day
vehicle impoundments. No Instagram reel could possibly be worth that. The penalties are stiff because distracted driving is an all-too-common safety hazard on our roads and highways. Over the past five years (2017-2021), an average of 780 people were injured each year in collisions caused by driver distraction and inattention on Saskatchewan
roads. That’s one out of every five auto vehicle injuries. Distracted driving also results in an average of 21.6 fatalities per year. Eliminate distractions before you start driving. Respond to texts, check your notifications, make sure your passengers (young children, pets) are safely secured so you can solely focus on driving once you’re in motion.
“A distracted driver is a threat to everyone on the road,” said Barbara Cross, Chief Operating Officer of SGI Auto Fund. “Traffic lights, pedestrians, speed limits and other drivers are just a few of the factors drivers need to be aware of when driving. When your attention is elsewhere, these can be missed.” Distracted driving is the focus of
August’s Traffic Safety Spotlight. Police across Saskatchewan will be looking for drivers using their cellphones or distracted in other ways. Follow SGI’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for more information throughout the month, and check out SGI’s latest public safety awareness campaign urging motorists to “Just Drive.
Canada formally apologizes for eugenics experiment on Saskatchewan First Nation By Shari Narine, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, (Windspeaker.com) Almost a year after the federal government concluded a $150-million settlement with Peepeekisis Cree Nation for the File Hills Colony Scheme, CrownIndigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller was in the southern Saskatchewan community to deliver an official apology, some of it in Cree. “The government of Canada …. (is) acknowledging the wrongs of the past and we’re taking another step toward reconciliation and a renewed nation-to-nation relationship. It’s our hope this apology does help with healing within the community,” said Miller on Aug. 3. The File Hills Colony existed from 1897 to 1954 and consisted of hand-picked graduates from Indian residential schools and industrial schools, primarily in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, with a few coming from Alberta. They were forced to farm prime agricultural land that an Indian agent took without consent from the Peepeekisis Cree Nation, located in the Qu’Appelle Valley. “On behalf of Canada I apologize for these actions. They caused great harm to your community, your language and your culture and for this we are deeply sorry,” said Miller. Peepeekisis Chief Francis Dieter called the apology “one step of many steps towards reconciliation.” The federal settlement provides the nation the option of adding as much as 18,720 acres to its reserve land. A trust has been established to allow for communitybased projects and infrastructure improvements. The settlement also paid
On behalf of Canada I apologize for these actions. — Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller members $10,000 each. The settlement was decades in the making. In a 2019 letter to band members, Dieter explained that the band submitted a specific claim in 1986 in which the Indian Claims Commission found Canada breached its lawful obligations to the band. It was then recommended that the claim be entered for negotiation under Canada’s Specific Claims Policy. However, Canada responded with court action, which forced the nation to reframe its original argument in 2017. Negotiations with Canada began that year and led to the settlement agreement that was presented to members for ratification in December 2020. In offering his apology, Miller acknowledged that the File Hills Colony Scheme is not known well known to many Canadians. Researcher and Peepeekisis Cree Nation member Cheyanne Desnomie says the File Hills Colony Scheme is not well known to the Saskatchewan public either. She’s hopeful Miller’s apology will change that. “Every time I talk to people about (the File Hills Colony Scheme) they’re so shocked this took place in our backyard. As far as my research goes, this is the only instance of something like this happening, not just in Canada but in North America,” said Desnomie, who is with the research office of the First Nations University of Canada.
“This” includes “one of the more disturbing aspects…(of) eugenics implications” as many colony participants were chosen because of their mixed blood. It was Indian agent William Graham who developed the scheme and who chose the participants. Graham felt that the European blood mix made them smarter and more obedient. Marriages were arranged to further that blood line. Eugenics is the study of arranging reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of desirable characteristics. Its principles were adopted by the Nazis to justify mistreatment of Jews and other minorities. It has been discredited as unscientific and racially biased. Desnomie wrote both her bachelor’s honour and master theses on different aspects of the colony, including how it has informed the “contemporary environment” of the nation. Graham developed the Files Hill Colony Scheme with the “intent of assimilating the Aboriginal population and converting the traditionally nomadic people to an agriculture lifestyle,” wrote Desnomie in her master thesis, and as a means to demonstrate how the “Indian Problem” could be dealt with. Every aspect of colony life was controlled from what time people got up in the morning to the women having to belong to sewing circles to producers requiring permission to sell what
they grew. Even then, says Desnomie, members were never told how much each product was sold for and only received a small portion of the profits. Colony members and Peepeekisis members were forbidden to interact, including not being allowed to speak with each other. The colony fell apart in the mid-1950s as the result of “the perfect storm of things combining and unravelling,” says Desnomie. Graham became embroiled in a “giant scandal” involving the sale and transport of alcohol across reserve land which forced his retirement in 1942, leaving the colony “unofficially abandoned.” There was also jealousy and animosity of non-Indigenous farmers at the success of the colony. Then the incredible growth in the population experienced by the band came under scrutiny.
Band membership, says Desnomie, still remains an underlying issue to this day although “I think it’s lessening now.” In the late 1950s, a commission decided that those people placed into the colony would be considered Peepeekisis Nation members as they no longer had connections to their ancestral lands. Today, says Desnomie, approximately 80 per cent of Peepeekisis Nation members descend from placement members. “Original descendants often feel like they’re cut out of any representation when it comes to leadership, chief and council, anything like that. When it came to negotiations for the settlement itself, many of the original descendants felt their voice wasn’t being heard,” she said. “That’s where a lot of hard feelings come from… (but) I think
the reserve is working toward healing that divide. Just to be honest and blunt about it, it’s still there,” said Desnomie. It’s something Chief Dieter, a placement descendant, has recognized. “The File Hills Colony Scheme left a legacy of division. However, through the recent settlement and the acknowledgement of its wrongdoing, Canada’s apology to our Nation and our people, can allow us to move forward on our path to healing our Nation and becoming one people of Peepeekisis,” said Dieter. Miller said reconciliation would be defined by the Peepeekisis Cree Nation. “We need to sit down and keep talking together and moving our relationship forward. It does come with money. Reconciliation ain’t free, but it also comes with better relationships and renewing them in the way that communities are telling us to do,” he said.

Adaptable If you’ve read a few of my summer-time columns, you’re probably aware of my opinion regarding camping — an activity that ranks pretty low on my “fun” meter. Being married for almost four decades brings with it compromises, so elevating to a camper instead of our tent was eventually our agreed upon decision. It was the best way my husband could feel satisfaction in being close to nature while this indoorgirl could enjoy an inside-something-with-aroof-over-her-head existence. Prior to this year I have not spent much time at the lake (camper or no camper) but as we’ve prepared to move this summer, I’ve had no choice but to frequent our trailer for additional days and nights. It was a hot, humid
afternoon when my phone started screaming with a severe weather and tornado alert. As the alarm kept on, I glanced out the window to see blue skies but uncharacteristically still leaves. I turned back to the movie I was watching inside the air-conditioned camper (our only home between moving from one house to another) and ignored the warning as I sipped my cold beverage. But, as all Saskatchewanites know, if you like or dislike the weather right now … wait ten minutes and … I had been warned. It wasn’t long before the hail began. This even brought my husband scurrying into our flimsy abode. By the time he was “safely” inside we couldn’t hear ourselves talk, and by “ourselves” I mean me. Not impressed, was I.
PATTIE JANZEN
Laugh at Life... Revisited I’d never experienced the sound of rocks slamming a tin roof before but it was quite … something. As one large hailstone cracked into the window next to me, I jumped and quickly pulled the blind down. Well, at least that might’ve helped to save us from the shards of glass I was sure would burst through at any time. I then glanced through the opposite window and saw people running toward the “safety” of their own tin cans. “Are we all crazy?” I whispered, knowing the
answer. Every other year when bad weather was forecasted we simply drove the thirty minutes back to our home, but now this camper (YES! A CAMPER!) was the only place we could call our own. No escape! The thought hit me hard, but fortunately no large hailstone did. As we sat like the proverbial ducks we were, my husband thought to look up. I’ve often thought it would be nice to have an indoor pool, but he quickly squelched
that dream by placing a plastic bucket under the water pouring through the busted vent over our bed. Then, because he’s super committed (or should be committed?) he climbed up a ladder in the thunder and lightening to place a tarp (yes! TARP!) over that ventturned-sieve. (If you read my last blog you’ll know he’s not a tarp kinda guy, but this was no piano.) Needless to say, we survived the deluge but then came my requisite humbling the next morning. As I grumbled my way to the bathroom, I overheard a conversation by two young women. “That was quite a storm, huh?” one asked the other. “Yeah,” agreed her counterpart. “We didn’t even have our tent set up before it hit, so we slept in the car.” Then she laughed (laughed!) like it
was no big deal. I had to admire that, although in my mind I did question if her perspective came from a place of little exposure to the finer things. I did come back to our camper feeling more thankful about my own circumstance, however, and justly chastised for my untoward attitude. I will admit that I do quite enjoy writing inside the gazebo. This structure is surrounded with netting and curtains but the pungent smell of the pine trees still permeates through. The two insecticide-filled Thermacells wafting nearby keep most of the mosquitoes at bay, as well. And therein lies the proof … of how adaptable I really am. (pdjanzen.com - website and blog.

Saskatchewan seeks greater autonomy over immigration, proposes Saskatchewan immigration accord On July 27, Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison met with the federal and provincial Ministers Responsible for Immigration and put forward a detailed proposal that would give Saskatchewan similar authorities over immigration that have long been guaranteed to the Province of Quebec. The new Saskatchewan Immigration Accord would give Saskatchewan sole authority to nominate newcomers moving to Saskatchewan control over the family class of immigration, a transfer of federal resources for settlement servi-
ces to the Province of Saskatchewan and a guaranteed provincial allocation of nominees each year that would be proportionate to the population of Saskatchewan within Canada. “Saskatchewan requires more autonomy and flexibility over immigration in order to meet its economic needs and address gaps in the labour market,” Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Canada should be focusing its efforts on reducing processing times for applications and let the provinces select immigrants and ensure their effect-
ive settlement.” Saskatchewan is seeking the same level of autonomy currently granted to the province of Quebec. Under the Quebec Accord, Quebec has the sole responsibility for the selection of immigrants destined to that province, while Canada has responsibility for their admission based on national security. “When it comes to immigration Saskatchewan expects the same deal as Quebec. Immigration is a key component of our government’s plan to grow the province to 1.4 million people and create an
Canora Supers win SESBL Championship By Tyson Off Staff Writer YORKTON – The Canora Supers were in Yorkton at Jubilee Park on the evening of August 3 when they beat the Yorkton Marlins in four games to win the South East Senior Baseball League Championship. This is the second year in a row that the Supers faced off against the Marlins in the league finals, winning the championship in 2021 as well. “This year we had a 12-game regular season, but it kind of got cut short because of the weather,” said Greg Andreychuk, head coach for the Supers, adding, “all the rain during the year kind
additional 100,000 jobs by 2030,” Harrison said. “Provincial governments are in the best position to respond to local labour market needs with new Canadians. The provinces should not be limited by economic categories or caps on provincial nominee programs set by the federal government.” Saskatchewan expects to meet and exceed its current cap of 6,000 under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) this year. Without an increase to the federal cap, international recruitment by employers will be delayed. A proportionate share of national immigration, as contemplated in the Saskatchewan Immigration Accord, would see at minimum 13,000 positions allocated to the province in 2022. A new Saskatchewan Accord would reduce confusion among new Canadians and allow the province to create a continuum of services that
would range from settlement to integration. This would better position newcomers for longterm success. It would also ensure that there are no gaps in response to humanitarian crises such as the conflict in Ukraine. The transfer in settlement funding would mean approximately $42 million dollars would be transferred to the province annually. “As Canada’s longest serving Immigration Minister, I have long maintained that the transfer of these authorities makes sense from the perspective of the provincial and federal government - and most significantly - for new immigrants coming to Saskatchewan,” Harrison said. “Our province has gained a great deal of experience and developed very significant capacity in the past decade and a half in administering and managing the SINP. Simply put - we know our prov-

Though the league or team doesn’t officially name an MVP, Andreychuk said that Kody Rock was their top player. “He’s the top pitcher in the league – he’s one of our top two or three hitters,” said Andreychuk, adding, “it’s kind of universally known that he’s the top player in the league.” When asked if he was excited for his team, Andreychuk replied with, “heck yeah!”
inces needs and labour markets better than the Government of Canada. By transferring selection of all immigrants to our province, including in the family class, the federal government can focus on addressing the outrageous processing times for admissions that are causing such issues for hundreds of thousands of potential new Canadians. The transfer of responsibility for delivering settlement programming to the province also makes sense. We know our partners, local circumstances and needs better than the Government of Canada does.” The current federal approach to immigration does not align with the direction of Saskatchewan’s growth. A Saskatchewan Accord will enable the province to ensure that its immigration strategy is meeting the needs of Saskatchewan employers and improving the outcomes for newcomers.

Prairie Pride: Advocates work to keep momentum going in Sask. By Julia Peterson, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The StarPhoenix) Prairie Pride is a series by Local Journalism Initiative reporter Julia Peterson that celebrates queer life in rural Saskatchewan. Visit thestarphoenix.com/prairiepride to read more Pride Month was an exciting, vibrant time in Saskatchewan, with flag raisings, parades and rainbow-spangled events taking place almost every day in June. But during the other 11 months of the year, often with little fanfare, people throughout the province are working hard to keep that momentum going. “Pride is fun, and it’s loud, and it’s pretty — it’s all of those things — but we are still the exact same people outside of June,” said OUTSaskatoon executive director Krystal Niecker. “And we want to be able to have that freedom and to be celebrated all year round. … “We are queer 365
days a year. Don’t forget about us after June.” Over the last few years, Niecker said there has been a “good grassroots vibe” of LGBTQ2S+ support in Saskatchewan’s small communities, with local queer groups “popping up all over” and persisting beyond Pride Month. Queer northern youth supported In Buffalo Narrows, a youth organization is already preparing for next summer’s Pride celebrations — all while building a space for local LGBTQ2S+ kids to find friendship and support all year round. Owen Chester, founder of the Young North Project, started a 2SLGBTQ+ and allies club this year. “I figured, because there is nothing Pride in Buffalo Narrows, I needed to step up,” said Chester. “The LGBTQ community in Buffalo Narrows is a little bit hidden and a lot of people have left the town. I felt it wasn’t very welcoming. “After starting this
Pride club … it’s starting to feel a lot more comfortable. “And I think, when the club starts to grow more, everyone is going to feel more comfortable within the community to be who they are.” Already, Chester said club members have “a lot of projects brewing,” and are getting excited about the bright future of the LGBTQ2S+ community in Buffalo Narrows. In the Battlefords, too, educators are hoping to offer queer youth a lasting message of positivity, support and empowerment. This summer, the Battlefords Family Health Centre has been inviting local teens to attend lunch-and-learns about sexual health. “We’ve talked about everything from sexually transmitted infections to healthy relationships to harm reduction to LGBTQ safer sex,” said outreach worker Amanda Maunula. Maunula said the sessions have been popular — everyone enjoys the
games and prizes, and some teens have been coming every single week. And building those relationships — letting kids know there are safe, supportive adults around who they can come to with questions or to get connected to other resources — is important for the well-being of all local youth, and LGBTQ2S+ youth in particular. “It’s really important for youth to be able to have a safe place where they can go and talk and meet people who accept them and are willing to listen to them,” said Maunula. “And that’s what we strive to do. “So we’ll keep being involved with the GSA groups that are running through the high schools, being advocates and allies for these youth that are trying to find a safe place to be themselves.” ‘There forever, I hope’ Pride month celebrations, like hosting a parade or raising a rainbow flag, can also be sparks that ignite more lasting change.

this June. As someone who has been a very visible, “out” queer person since he was very young, he knew that more support was needed. “I was getting messages and people coming up to me from my nation — kids as young as nine asking me how I was able to be myself, older kids asking me how I came out to my parents,” George said. “I even had 40- and 50-year-old people texting me and Facebooking me and saying that they wish they could have come out, but they feel like their time has passed. “And that made me feel sad, because I didn’t know why other people couldn’t feel that same belonging that I felt. And then I thought, well, maybe it’s because we didn’t actually have visible support. We’ve never advertised that we are a welcoming community.” But visibility is only the beginning. At the Pride flag raising ceremony, George brought the new, genderneutral signage for the school’s bathrooms.

Ochapowace is also updating their policies with gender-inclusive language, and has made it clear that children on the First Nation can play on the sports teams that best align with their gender identity. So, when George looks up at the Pride flag, it’s not just about a temporary celebration — it’s a symbol of an ongoing, living commitment to the LGBTQ2S+ members of Ochapowace First Nation. “The Pride flag is flying right in front of our school, and it’ll be there as long as possible,” he said. “It’s going to be there forever, I hope.”

back field as well as demonstrations of clay oven bread baking, rope making, blacksmithing and butter making. “Traditionally the
August long weekend has been filled with the sights and sounds of the Threshermen’s Show & Seniors’ Festival. Although the partnering
organizations had anticipated hosting the event once again, we are pressing pause for this year. We are very fortunate that our dedicated vol-
unteers are putting forth tremendous effort and enthusiasm for the full event to return in August 2023,” read a press release from the WDM.

The Regina Thunder took on the Winnipeg Rifles in a pre-season CJFL game on Saturday, August 6.
The final score was 46-3 for the Thunder.
CJFL holds pre-season game in Yorkton By Tyson Off Staff Writer YORKTON – The Canadian Junior Football League held a pre-season game at Century Field on Saturday afternoon between the Regina Thunder and Winnipeg Rifles. “The stands were packed from one end to the other,” said Yorkton’s Jason Boyda of Yorkton Minor Football and a Defensive Line Coach for the Thunder, adding, “for the middle of summer,
the crowd that we got was fantastic,” and, “I would say there was at least a thousand people.” Boyda said the game marked the first CJFL preseason game to be hosted in Yorkton. “The way this came about was I was helping coach with the spring camp for the Regina Thunder – pre-practice I was having a conversation with the Regina Thunder President... and he thought it’d be so cool if Yorkton would host a pre-season game,”
said Boyda, adding, “a lot of our players go there to play football and he thought it’d be a great way of showcasing the Regina Thunder in Yorkton, and a great way of our community showcasing our facilities and our volunteers and how we do things in the garlic curtain.” The final score for the game saw the home province team win 46-3. Boyda said it’s the community and sponsors that make these kinds of events possible.
“Yorkton Dodge sponsoring and other community members stepping up – volunteering and making this event happen in our community,” said Boyda, adding, “we’re football strong here and we can’t do what we do without the support of the community, so that’s one thing I get extremely, extremely emotional and proud of – being from Yorkton and having the support that we have.” Boyda referenced several players on the
Thunder who are originally from Yorkton. “I’m not going to lie to you, I got a little emotional because my son (Jaxon Boyda) is on that team and he scored a touchdown...he scored his first CJFL touchdown in his hometown – it was really cool,” said Boyda. “I’m coaching the defensive line – so I have Reece McCormick – you know, good old Yorkton boy – I get a chance to coach him,” said Boyda, adding, “I taught him in elementary school,
coached him in basketball, coached him in high school football – now I get a chance to coach him at the next level with a few other Yorkton boys,” “That’s special...not many coaches get to do that or have that opportunity,” said Boyda. Boyda said he has a busy fall lined up. “Once high school season starts, I’ll probably do double duty between the high school in Yorkton and the team in Regina – my plate will be pretty full.”

Speaking at the ceremony held to unveil a plaque marking the “Doukhobor elevator” as a Provincial Heritage Property, from left, were: Harvey Malanowich, Reeve of the RM of Sliding Hills; Terry Dennis, Canora-Pelly MLA; Jonathan Kalmakoff, a noted Doukhobor historian and researcher, and Walter Ostoforoff, chairman of the National Doukhobor Heritage Village.
Members of the National Doukhobor Heritage Village committee and guests assembled at the Veregin Prayer Home on July 17 for the unveiling of a plaque commemorating the “Doukhobor elevator.”
Plaque designates Doukhobor elevator as Provincial Heritage Property Courtesy of Kamsack Times A ceremony was held at the National Doukhobor Heritage Village in Veregin on July 17 to mark the unveiling of a plaque commemorating the Village’s “Doukhobor elevator.” The third Sunday in July has been the date of the annual Heritage Day celebration, but the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the cancellation of Heritage Day. This year it was decided, in lieu of Heritage Day, to hold the ceremony for the unveiling of the plaque that is to be placed on the elevator that was constructed in 1908 and remains a symbol of the Doukhobor culture as well as a significant economic milestone. Walter Ostoforoff, chairman of the Heritage Village and emcee of the ceremony held in the Prayer Home, introduced Terry Dennis, the Canora-
Pelly MLA, Harvey Malanowich, the Reeve of the RM of Clayton, and Jonathan Kalmakoff, a noted Doukhobor historian who has studied the impact of the grain elevators on the Doukhobor communities. Acknowledging the area as being Treaty 4 territory and homeland of Métis, Ostoforoff expressed gratitude to First Nations for the help they provided the Doukhobors upon their arrival in Canada and reminded everyone attending that the Village became the centre of Doukhobor activities in the province. “We gather to celebrate the Provincial Heritage Property plaque unveiling for the Veregin Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood (CCUB) grain elevator,” Dennis said, explaining that he was representing Laura Ross, minister of Parks, Culture and Sport, Premier Scott Moe
and the Government of Saskatchewan. “Events like this help us to appreciate the unique stories and places that make up the history of our province,” Dennis said, thanking the members of the Village for appreciating the historic significance of the elevator and bringing forward the nomination to have it designated. “Conservation of heritage properties like this contributes to the economic growth and cultural richness of our communities,” he said. “Not only do they help to create jobs and house businesses, but they also serve as tourism destinations and provide tangible links to the people, places and events that define the character and history of our province.” To qualify for the designation as a Provincial Heritage Property, the place must be associated with an important aspect of Saskatchewan’s
human or natural history and provides the property with legal protection from unauthorized changes as well as a plaque. “The grain elevator was one of the most prominent architectural features on the Canadian prairies in the 20th century and remains a visual symbol for the whole region,” he said, explaining that the elevator is one of several built by the CCUB and is among the oldest known grain elevators in Saskatchewan. “Marking this site will help future generations understand the historical significance elevators had in the grain handling industry and the key role they played in the development of agriculture in the province and in this way, we ensure that our past remains a vibrant part of our future,” he said, thanking those who were involved in preparing and supporting this designation.

“I congratulate the members of the National Doukhobor Heritage Village for your successful efforts to conserve this wonderful place and for your decision to share this special piece of Saskatchewan’s heritage and its story with the rest of the province through our designation program. “You have created a special and lasting legacy for the future.” On behalf of the RM of Sliding Hills and its council, Malanowich congratulated the Village for having saved elements of the Doukhobor culture and heritage, saying such endeavours take hard work and dedication. Malanowich thanked the volunteers and expressed the hope that the work continues. The bulk of the ceremony dealt with the work of Jonathon Kalmakoff, who provided an overview of the research he has done on Doukhobor elevators, their cultural significance and the role they played in the Doukhobor economy. Kalmakoff began his presentation by reminding the meeting that 7,500 Doukhobors arrived in Canada in 1899 after fleeing persecution in Russia and settled in 60 villages in Saskatchewan. A detailed account of
Kalmakoff’s presentation is being printed elsewhere in this issue. At the conclusion of Kalmakoff’s presentation, Dennis, assisted by Ostoforoff, unveiled the plaque entitled “The Veregin Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood Grain Elevator Provincial Heritage Property. “Constructed in 1908, this elevator is one of several built by the Christian community of Universal Brotherhood (Doukhobors) to serve the grain-handling needs and communal economy of Doukhobor settlements in east-central Saskatchewan,” it reads. “The elevator’s woodencrib construction was the standard designation for grain elevators across the prairies until largecapacity, concrete grain terminals were introduced in the 1980s. “Now one of the oldest elevators in Saskatchewan, it stands as a reminder of the grain elevators that once numbered in the thousands and were the most prominent architectural symbol of the Canadian Prairies in the 20th century.” Now the work to restore and preserve the elevator must be done, it was said as the ceremony ended.

Lesia statue builder honoured by town Courtesy of Canora Courier One of the creators of a prominent Canora symbol was recently honoured by the town during Canora in Bloom. Orest Lewchuk, along with his father, Nicholas, built the Lesia statue that welcomes visitors coming into Canora from the south. On July 18, the town held a dedication for Lewchuk in front of the statue, as well as belatedly celebrating its fourth decade. The welcome symbol was unveiled on Sept. 3, 1980, the 75th anniversary of the town and province. “I was a little bit surprised because I didn’t know that they were going to do something like that for me,” Lewchuk said. “My whole life was in Canora, so I thought I might as well leave something behind. With my dad we built this statue and then lately donated a piece of my property to the town.” Brandi Zavislak, the town’s community development officer, said Lewchuk donated approximately two acres of land, which will be used as a dedicated urban green space. “This space will be a
wonderful space for the community that will stay a park-like setting with various paths for residents to enjoy for years to come,” she said in a speech at the dedication. Lewchuk said his father emigrated from Ukraine and retained a strong pride in Ukrainian culture and language. The father-son pair joined the town’s Chamber of Commerce the year they were looking for ideas to attract tourists. “The Chamber of Commerce was debating what kind of attraction they could have for Canora to bring in more tourists,” he said. One idea was to have a large kolach – a sweet Ukrainian bread – as a symbol of welcome, said Dorothy Korol of the Ukrainian Heritage Museum during a speech about the history of the statue. According to a newspaper report, the Lewchuks said it would be effective if somebody presented it. “There were a few things being said and done, but from all of that, the chamber decided to go with our plan,” Lewchuk said. The Lewchuks built the statue over the win-

Tasa ter. It has an iron-steel core and an outer coating of fibreglass. “Something that we felt that if we’re building it, we might as well build something that will last for quite a few years, so that’s why we decided to go with fibreglass,” Lewchuk said. Korol said much preparation went into the unveiling of the statue,
with Governor-General Edward Schreyer one of the dignitaries at the event. However, it was a rainy and windy day, and the wind ended up unveiling the statue for Schreyer. The events were soon transferred to the composite school. In 1982, the Canora branch of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress was granted permission
to erect a cairn at the site, Korol said, with a plaque recognizing the 85th anniversary of the first Ukrainian block settlement in the area. On Aug. 19, 1982, then Mayor Lorne Kopelchuk and MLA Lloyd Hampton unveiled the cairn. It was at this event the status was named Lesia. In 2020, Ernest Lewchuk gave a $10,000
bequest in his will for the purpose of maintaining the statue and surrounding grounds. The funds will be dispensed over 20 years. “I just hope that the people appreciate what the town has done for them,” Orest said, adding that he’d love to see other local residents chip in with their own ideas to improve the community.
