“This campaign is a way for us to connect with students who are having thoughts of suicide,” said Wilson. “‘Are you OK?’ is a simple but such a helpful question we can ask if we’re concerned about someone in our community, and ‘You are not alone’ tells students that there are others who are struggling and that there are people here to help.”
Wilson said the suicide prevention awareness campaign consists of a variety of print and digital pieces, including a video that tells a real-life story of a student’s journey from experiencing thoughts of suicide to getting help and work-

SASKATOON – The University of Saskatchewan (USask) has launched a suicide prevention strategy to help students in the province who are experiencing thoughts of suicide, those wanting to support someone experiencing thoughts of suicide, and those impacted by a suicide loss.

In terms of lacrosse Canadian Challen Rogers is putting together a stellar and varied career.
Rogers said box skills certainly translate well to 6v6.“Canadians playing box, that good five-onfive experience, I think that helped us with the speed of the game, the skills,” he said. “. . . Lots of the things we do in box we can take to the sixes game.”Inhis interview with Yorkton This Week Rogers kept coming back to the pace of play setting 6v6. For example, after a goal there is no pause for a face-off. The goalie pulls the ball out of the net and the game restarts.

Rogers said he recognized going in it was something of a unique opportunity being the first major international tournament of a recently created version of the game.Of course being a lacrosse team from Canada there were expectations to do well to deal with too.
“We expected to win,” said Rogers, adding with such expectations come the pressure to perform “in a World Games situation.”While Rogers has many lacrosse accolades, he said the 6v6 gold “is extremely high up,” his personal list of achievements.So was wearing the red and white jersey of Team Canada, even though he had done it in 2019 as “Everywell.time you put on that jersey, representing your country, (representing) everybody who got you to that point in your career, your family,

Over the last few weeks we’ve been looking at a bunch of games you can play with checkers / Othello pieces / backgammon stones, and a simple square grid of varying size you can create rather easily.
There is one more family of games which should be mentioned as an option for a project like the one we’ve been looking at, and that is the tafl family of games.Sofor a quick explanation of tafl games we turn to Wikipedia, “Tafl games (pronounced [tavl], also known as hnefatafl games) are a family of ancient Nordic and Celtic strategy board games played on a checkered or latticed game board with two armies of uneven numbers.”
The original rules are actually a mystery lost to time.“The rules for tablut were written down by the Swedish naturalist Linnaeus in 1732, and these were translated from Latin to English in 1811,” notes Wikipedia. “All modern tafl games are based on the 1811 translation, which had many errors. New rules were added to amend the issues resulting from these errors, leading to the creation of a modern family of tafl games. In addition, tablut is now also played in accordance with its original rules, which have been
Yet with tafl the connection feels even sharper, at least for me. Could the Vikings who landed on the east coast of what would one day become Canada have played a game in their time here?
The dynamic of the game is quite different from most abstract strategy games where forces tend to mirror each other, and the win condition is the same for both players – such as chess, checkers, Terrace andThereother. are actually a rather diverse family of games here including Hnefatafl, Tablut, Tawlbwrdd, Brandubh, Ard Rí, and Alea evangelii, but they have a common mechanic.

This is the intriguing aspect of tafl games. One player has less pieces, or men, in play, and each player has a different goal in terms of their win condition.

“Games in the tafl family were played in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Britain, Ireland, and Lapland,” notes Wikipedia. “Tafl gaming was eventually supplanted by chess in the 12th century, but the tafl variant of the Sami people, tablut, was in play until at least the 18th century.”
More traditional tafl games tend to be played on 9x9, or 11x11, and I’d suggest looking online and trying both out, as each offers just enough uniqueness to be interestingly different.
The association even hosts an online World Championship, the 2022 edition starting Sept.15.
This is what truly intrigues me as a player. When sitting down to play one of the varied tafl games you are in a way connecting with people who played the same general game centuries earlier.
There is a World Tafl Federation (www.aagenielsen.dk) which is a good resource for players.

The connection is not exactly unique to tafl games. Every time you pick up a Go stone in the unique fashion of the game and place it on the board with the familiar ‘click’ it makes, it’s hard not to feel you are doing something that has been done millions of times by beginners to masters through the centuries.

The diversity within the pieces have allowed Rae some freedom of expression as an artist.
Rae said the show should have some visual interest for those attending the show.
For Rae her interest in art started young.
“Art has been an interest of mine for as long as I remember, as a child I enjoyed drawing and painting,” said Rae who was born in Brandon. Moving to Saskatchewan in 2008.“My family was an influence on my interest in art. My grandma was good at drawing and crocheting. My aunt Maria is a painter, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts.”Rae said her earliest art efforts were on her own, with training coming“Ilater.am a self-taught portrait artist,” she explained. “After high school, I became interested in advancing my knowledge and skills in the fine arts.

The work of Melville artist Faith Rae has her show Evolving at the Godfrey Dean Gallery.
“The folks who are interested in viewing the exhibition can expect expressive large-scale work, audio recording, and new forms of media in the exhibition,” she said.As might be expected some pieces stand out for the“Myartist.favourite piece in the show is titled ‘Defeated’,” said Rae. “The artwork uses a painting technique called action painting. Action painting is the spontaneous application of paint/media being placed on a canvas. It is the only artwork in the exhibition that depicts portraiture. The artwork grasps the viewer’s attention through the expressive emotion of the paint strokes and the side profile of my face.”
“The exhibition Evolving displays artwork that uses unconventional media and painting that conceptually expresses my emotional turmoil and journey of self-acceptance,” Rae told Yorkton This Week.
