Continuing pandemic contributes to popularity of cross country ski club Courtesy of Canora Courier As the effects of COVID-19 keep affecting life around the region, many residents are renewing their interests in outdoor activities, including cross country skiing. Numbers of skiers utilizing the trail have increased significantly at Good Spirit Lake Provincial park over the past two winters, according to Darryl Stevenson, Good Spirit Cross Country Ski Club president. “Our club has in excess of 75 members this year, down from last year but last year was an exceptional year due to COVID restrictions,” said Stevenson. “We have members from Yorkton and Canora areas including resorts around Good Spirit Lake. Members are also from other parts of the province such as Melville, Foam Lake, Kamsack, Springside and even as far Regina.” Even though pandemic regulations don’t affect the actual skiing, it is mandatory to wear a mask when inside the warmup shelter on the trail. “There have been over 400 signatures in the visitors sign-in book at the warmup shelter this winter,” reported Stevenson. “However because many skiers choose not to enter the shelter, this is not a true representation of the number of actual skiers using the trails.” Stevenson said the heavy amount of snow so far this season has made conditions challenging for grooming. Strong winds have caused snow drifts that have proved to be difficult to pack and level the trails. “The Yorkton Sno Riders have assisted our club by grooming the

trails with a larger groomer. This has allowed our equipment to easily set the trails once it has been levelled and packed by their groomer.” With the abundant snow skiing started relatively early this winter, during the second week of November. The dropping temperatures have had a noticeable effect. “Extreme cold weather conditions have definitely reduced the numbers of skiers this winter,” shared Stevenson. “The cold dropped participation numbers during the Christmas holidays, which is usually a busy time for people to enjoy a comfortable outing.” Those who come out to the trail at Good Spirit Lake Provincial Park, in addition to enjoying some fresh air and exercise, are also likely to get up close with the area’s wildlife. “Sightings of deer are very frequent, and the occasional moose have also been sighted along the ski. It has been noted that the deer are using the trails more now that the snow has become so deep in the bush. They are able to travel on top of the packed snow while looking for food.” Steven said the Good Spirit Provincial Park staff did a great job keeping the grass cut and removing trees from the trails in preparation for the winter season. “They moved the fallen trees to the shelter area for the club to cut and split in a work bee. This fall however, the work bee was postponed until spring due to weather conditions and an early snow fall. There was enough firewood still available from the previous year to last this season. “During the winter, the club

members assist park staff in keeping the shelter cleared from snow as well as any cleaning that is needed. Masks, sanitizers and wipes are supplied along with the usual paper towels and tissues.” For those who choose to join up, the membership fee includes: injury insurance with Cross Country Canada, a portion goes to Cross Country Saskatchewan, and the remainder supports the Good Spirit Cross Country Ski Club. The club executive members remain unchanged this year. In addition to Stevenson, Lana Sebastian-Stanek (Yorkton) is serving as vice-president, Loralee Antonovitch (M & M Tiechko Beach) is the treasurer, Rob Wilson (Saltcoats) secretary, Anne Stupak (Yorkton) looks after communications. “Our club is pleased to announce that the 11th Annual Good Spirit XC Ski Club Lamplighter Loppet is happening on February 12,” said Stevenson. “The loppet will be held completely outside this year at the warmup shelter. Start time is after 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. with check-in at the warmup shelter. Skiers are welcome to ski in either from Good Spirit Park’s entry gate or from the east boundary gate at Sandy Beach. All skiers require headlamps. Hot dogs for wiener roasting will be provided along with hot chocolate. At 7 p.m. a special event will occur that is sure to light up the sky.” Stevenson encourages participants to check and follow the Cross Country Sask Event Protocol. At this point, the weather forecast looks favourable for the loppet. Registrations are available online only at Zone4.ca.”

This is the Yorkton Sno Riders groomer that was hired to level and pack the ski trails at Good Spirit Lake Provincial Park. Brian Dudar (right), the Good Spirit Provincial Park manager, got a close look at the smooth surface left by the groomer.

Vickie Stevenson, member of the Good Spirit Cross Country Ski Club, enjoyed the natural surroundings while cruising down the trail at Good Spirit Provincial Park.

In addition to being good exercise, cross country skiing also provides a great opportunity to get closer to nature at Good Spirit Provincial Park. Curious deer can often be spotted, especially when they’re looking for sunflower seeds spilled on the ground from the bird feeder near the warmup shelter.

This offer is an inexpensive way for people to try camping in a whole new season. It is valid for stays between February 18 and 27 in electric and non-electric campsites at Buffalo Pound, Cypress Hills, Duck Mountain, Echo Valley, Great Blue Heron, Moose Mountain and Pike Lake Provincial Parks. To use the code, customers can enter “SNOWBOGO” on the Order Details Page when booking their campsite at http://parks.saskatch-

ewan.ca. There are also a variety of fun, interactive guided programs led by park staff that will be available throughout Family Week so visitors can take in the full winter Sask Parks experi-

ence. These guided programs are available for those who may be new to winter activities or just want to try something different. Families are encouraged to check out the Family Week calendar and plan their

camping trips around what’s happening in the park. Programs are free with valid park entry and participants can reserve their spot online in advance at http:// parks.saskatchewan. ca. Interpreter-led pro-

Enjoy Archives Week 2022 online or in-person this year Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan, along with archives across the province, celebrates Archives Week 2022 beginning February 6 to 11. To mark the occasion, the Provincial Archives is launching two initiatives: a social media campaign to give a “behind the scenes” look at how

archives work to preserve the province’s history, and a new exhibit showcasing the work of editorial cartoonist Brian Gable. “Archives Week is an excellent chance for Saskatchewan people to learn and engage with our province’s history, with the help of

the Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan,” SaskBuilds and Procurement Minister Jim Reiter said. This year the Provincial Archives is excited to connect with Saskatchewan people using social media to showcase the behind the scenes work we do to collect, give access to, and preserve our province’s history. You can monitor posts all week to learn about “#WhatArchivistsDo” by following this hashtag or by following @ ProvArchivesSK on Facebook and Twitter. “Many people are curious about what we do to keep the history of the province,” Provincial Archivist Carol Radford-

Grant said. “We are keen to highlight some of the unique aspects of our work to everyone in Saskatchewan.” The Provincial Archives will also launch a new exhibit during Archives Week on Wednesday, February 9 featuring editorial cartoonist, Brian Gable, who donated a number of his drawings from his time working at the Regina Leader-Post. Many Canadians may recognize Brian’s work, as one of his drawings was recently featured on a stamp by Canada Post. To view Brian’s illustrations in-person, visit the Provincial Archives building at 2440 Broad Street in Regina. A number of unique and humorous illustrations will also

EDITORIAL Einarson wins third Canadian championship The Kerri Einarson foursome out of Gimli, MB., made it three straight capturing the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, emblematic of the Canadian Women’s Championship in curling. The foursome, including lead Briane Meilleur, second Shannon Birchard, third Val Sweeting and skip Kerri Einarson, headed into the Scottie’s tourney in Northern Ontario as the defending champions, and curled their way through the 18-team field to earn a berth in the final. The run included going undefeated in pool play, with the only blemish on the week a playoff loss 8-6 to New Brunswick’s Andrea Crawford led team. Einarson would rebound to make the final where they topped the Krista McCarvilleled rink out of Northern

Ontario 9-6. Einarson said the third championship is just as sweet as the first two. “Yah, it definitely is,” she told Yorkton This Week in a telephone interview. “It is very hard to win the first one,” she added, noting it never gets easier. “We’re just over the moon excited.” In some ways the third win might even be a bit more special coming in a curling season when the team wasn’t playing as well as they had hoped early on. “We were very disappointed after our performance in the trials (to represent Canada at the current Olympics),” said Einarson. So while Jennifer Jones prepared to head to Beijing, Einarson said they had to take a breath and ready for the

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports Scotties. She said the team sat down and simply decided to focus on the Canadian championships. The discussion came down to getting the team back to some basics. “We didn’t want to put any more pressure on ourselves. We wanted to just go out and have fun,” said Einarson. It helped that the team was experienced at the Canadian championships. “We knew what it takes, what we needed to bring to the table to per-

form,” said Einarson. Once on the ice it was stay relaxed and “enjoy every single moment out there,” she said. Up next for Einarson and her team will be the 2022 World Women’s Curling Championship in Prince George, B.C. March 19 to 27. Einarson said the team is taking a quick breath and then getting back on the ice to ready for the event. “We’re taking some down time, some time with family and friends soaking in all the excite-

ment,” she said. But, preparation time will be important this year because the rules the world championships will be played under are changing. Rule changes include: — Thinking time per end will replace the current thinking time rules: There will be four minutes allotted to each of the first five ends and four minutes and 15 seconds for the remaining ends. This replaces the current 38 minutes for all 10 ends. — No tick shot rule: If a stone is touching the centre line within the free guard zone it may not be moved by an opponent’s stone until after the fifth stone of the end has been played. — No extra ends in the round robin stage: Instead teams will designate one player to draw to the button, with the

closest team earning an advantage. A points system will be used to determine standings, with three points for an outright win, two points to the team that wins the draw to the button and one point to the team that loses the draw. Einarson said they’ll have to adapt. “It does change things a little bit,” she said, but added she doesn’t see the changes being too difficult to deal with, even as a team noted as proficient making tick shots. What Einarson is looking for in Prince George is a better finish than they had in the bubble in Calgary in 2021. “Last year at the worlds we didn’t medal. We were disappointed,” she said, adding this year they feel better prepared in terms of having been there. “This year we know what to expect.”

Quebec cyclist visits Canora and Kamsack Courtesy of Kamsack Times As the snow was falling in Canora on January 31, shoppers at Gateway Co-op were in for an unusual sight. Jean-Pierre Tremblay, a 40-year-old carpenter who lives near Montreal, stopped in on his bicycle to stock up on supplies as he continued his

bike adventure which started in Montreal on November 19, with the goal of reaching the Arctic Ocean. He crossed in to Ontario at Kirkland Lake, and followed Highway No. 11 to Thunder Bay. “Once I got into Manitoba I got off the Trans Canada and took mostly back roads, including Highway No.

44 to Selkirk and then through The Narrows at the Interlake and on to Dauphin,” said Tremblay. He was in the Kamsack area for night on January 30 before heading into Canora. The next phase of the journey will be to Saskatoon, Edmonton, and then Fort St. John and Fort Nelson in B.C., before heading to the

It’s not too often a person might see a cyclist in Canora as the snow falls in late January, but Jean-Pierre Tremblay of Montreal is no ordinary biker. To celebrate Canadian winter, and because he enjoys a challenge, Tremblay is cycling from Montreal to the Artic Ocean near Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories. He passed through Canora on January 31 after spending the night in Kamsack.

Yukon, and eventually reaching his final destination of Tuktoyaktuk on the Artic Ocean in the Northwest Territories. He said his main reason for the trip is for a personal challenge and “for the adventure.” He adds that he “really loves Canadian winter. I’ve always wanted to see the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. I wish to honour all the explorers and the adventurers that went up there in the first place. I admire these people and I want to do something that’s similar and hard.” With him on his bike and tow-behind cart he has a warm sleeping bag, a wood stove and a canvas tent, which have kept him fed and warm so far. He estimates he’s carrying about 200 pounds with him on his journey. “I’ve done lots of winter camping in the past which gives me a solid experience to be able to do this, and I also love cycling.” The cold obviously doesn’t phase Tremblay, and he has experienced some typical prairie cold so far on his odyssey. “The coldest night to this point was minus 35 C with a minus 44 wind chill in Manitoba near The Narrows.” Previously he’s been

on cycling trips on the Prairies and in B.C., but not in the dead of winter. “I’m taking my time, enjoying Canada and enjoying the scenery. That’s what it’s all about.” Barring any major unforeseen problems, he expects to reach his destination on the shores of the Arctic Ocean toward the end of April. “There’s only one road in Canada that passes the Arctic Circle and that makes it to the Arctic Ocean,” Tremblay said, “and it brings you to that little town of Tuktoyaktuk, and that’s where I’m going. “Some people might find it crazy to camp in the winter, but I’ve got this little titanium wood stove which actually makes this trip pretty comfortable. I’ve got a nice prospector tent, so every night I set up this little camp. I chop down a couple of dead trees and I have a little fire going every night in the evening so I can dry out my stuff, cook and just be warm. So yeah, it’s maybe not as intense as it sounds to camp all the time. I like to camp on crown lands, on the forestry roads that don’t get plowed out.” Even if he runs into some unforeseen chal-

lenges which delay getting to his destination, Tremblay doesn’t seem too worried. He said his main focus is on enjoying the journey, no matter how long it takes. Since winter will likely be over when he reaches the Arctic Ocean, Tremblay expects to be hitchhiking back home to Quebec, but depending on how things go, he may do some biking as well.

Royal Saskatchewan Museum teams up with University of Regina on owl research The Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) and the University of Regina have begun work on a research project involving great horned owls that includes a unique citizen science component. If you see a great horned owl, they want to know. “Great horned owls are one of the most common owls in Saskatchewan,” Royal Saskatchewan Museum Curator of Vertebrate Zoology Dr. Ryan Fisher said. “Populations of great horned owls in southern Saskatchewan have been increasing in recent years and we are interested in how human modifications to the landscape have allowed this bird to be so successful.” The University of Regina has developed a form that Saskatchewan residents can use to report their great horned owl sightings. In southern Saskatchewan, great horned owls have shown remarkable adaptability and now occupy and nest in trees that were planted around farmyards, abandoned buildings and other human-made structures. In addition, these owls also rely on elevated perches such as power poles, fence lines and planted trees to hunt from. “This adaptability is what makes these birds really unique, as this is one of only a handful of species that seem to do well in human-modified areas,” Dr. Fisher said. “Part of the project revolves around public participation and collaboration in the research, or citizen science - by having people share and contribute to data monitoring and collection.” Dr. Fisher said they are interested in sightings outside of cities and south of the tree line in the agricultural zone (grassland and aspen parkland). “This is just some of the innovative research taking place behind the scenes at the RSM,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. “The RSM is truly a centre for excellence when it comes to research, in addition to the incredible exhibits and education programming, there is always something new

to discover!” With great horned owls starting to nest soon (late February and into March), the next couple months will be a key time to get data from people. Owls are extremely sensitive to disturbance, so please take great care when looking for them and try to keep as much distance as possible between you and the owl. There are some excellent guidelines online to reduce your impact on birds. The project will run until 2023.

SIGN for the Times By Tyson Off Staff Writer SIGN in Yorkton is hoping to build greater awareness of their services through a podcast. “I thought, ‘people receive information differently, whether they read it or listen in on a conversation’,” said Dick DeRyk, with the communications division at the Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbors. One of those ways is a podcast, defined as a digital audio file made available on the internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device, typically available as a series, new installments of which can be received by subscribers automatically. DeRyk said the podcast helps SIGN present their programs in a more casual way. “The podcast gener-

ally runs from anywhere between 15 and 25 minutes,” said DeRyk, adding, “long enough to provide some meaningful information.” DeRyk also noted SIGN has many programs people may not be aware of. “SIGN has 24 different programs built to help people,” he said. “Until you need one of those programs you don’t think about it.” DeRyk started doing the podcast a year and a half ago. In it, he talks with different members of the organization. “I meet with people from SIGN and we come up with topics to discuss,” he said. From the topics, they develop a list of talking points which becomes the general outline for an episode of the podcast cleverly titled ‘SIGN for the Times’. The podcast is done

aspects, takes about three to four hours to complete. “We’re trying to do one or two a month,” he said. New episodes of ‘SIGN for the Times’ can be found under the ‘More/Podcasts’ section of SIGNYorkton.ca

offer new aspects without going too far overboard I am also intrigued when someone takes the time to completely rebuild the game, putting a new face on chess with a ‘story’ behind the changes That brings me to Caissa Britiania, (originally British Chess) by designer Fergus Duniho “Caïssa Britannia, originally known as British Chess, is based on an idea I had in 2001 to create a British-themed Chess variant with Lions, Unicorns, Dragons, and a royal Queen,” wrote Duniho in a posting on the game at www.chessvariants.com Duniho started from an interesting perspective with the idea Lions, Unicorns, and Dragons are respectively the heraldic animals for England, Scotland, and Wales. The Queen is the royal piece, because the current British monarch is a Queen The process of creation makes logical sense “Although the name of British Chess directly reflects the idea behind this game, it will be less appropriate when the monarch is once again a King. Because of this, British Chess also bears the alternate latin name of Caïssa Britannia. This name better reflects the Queen-centered nature of this game. This name suggests a royal Queen, as Caïssa is the name for the female personification of Chess, sometimes regarded as the muse or goddess of Chess, and Britannia is the name for the female personification of Britain,” he wrote So the key pieces are: Dragon - This piece was created by Fergus Duniho for this game. It is a compound of an Alfilrider and a Dabbabarider. It may make any number of consecutive two-space leaps in the same radial direction, so long as each leap except the last lands on an empty space. It may cover only a quarter of the board, which makes it weaker than other pieces, but its powers of movement do make it invulnerable to attacks from the Queen beyond a two-space perimeter. Since a Queen may not pass through check, it must already be within two spaces of a Dragon to

capture it. Unicorn The Unicorn was created by David Paulovich for Unicorn Chess. This piece moves as a Bishop or a Nightrider. It may ride on diagonal lines like a Bishop, or may make consecutive Knight leaps in the same direction until it captures a piece or is blocked. Lion - The Lion was created by T. R. Dawson, who called it a Leo. The Lion moves as a Cannon or a Vao. In other words, it moves as a Rook or a Bishop, except that it must jump an intervening piece, called a screen, to capture another piece. The king gets a big change here too, becoming the Prince Consort - The Prince Consort is the Queen’s husband. It replaces the King from Chess. The Prince Consort may capture by moving one space in any radial direction, or it may slide like a Rook or Bishop without capturing. Although it has only short-range powers of capture, its power to capture a piece on any adjacent space is enough to make it invulnerable to long-range attacks from a Queen. Since a Queen cannot pass through check, it cannot capture a Prince Consort unless the Prince Consort has already moved adjacent to it. To facilitate the broader array of pieces this chess variant is played on a 10X10 board. There are other rule tweaks too, as should be expected in a complete rebuild, but the pieces above provide a good look into what the creator was trying to do Of course part of the fun with this one was ‘bodgering’ the pieces. The dragon and lions were dollar store finds, the heads coming from children’s toys, then mounted on hijacked chess pieces and paints -- the unicorn simply a knight with a toothpick for a horn. Was the effort worth it? Well bodgering is a fun aspect of gaming for me, so yes, but in pure chess terms it might be a bit of a stretch in terms of time spent. That said, find a bud who is willing to really delve into a variant for play, then this one offers an interesting take of the ancient game.

Esterhazy snowmobile trail group relies on volunteers By Sierra D’Souza Butts Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The World-Spectator Moosomin) Although Esterhazy Super Sledders has just over 40 members, only 10 people volunteered their time to help groom the trails and put signs up, for the annual trails that local snowmobilers use. Mark Franklin, president of Esterhazy Super Sledders, says it takes a full week for the volunteers to fully complete the trails. “We snowbunch, we’ve got little machines that go around and make bunches of snow to stick the signs in, but to do the whole trail doing that, takes about five days with two people snowbunching,” he says. “To actually sign the trail completely takes about seven days, and that’s with two sleds and two people. If we had four to six people with us, it would take maybe four days or five days, but it winds up being seven to eight days to do the whole thing.” The total length of trails that snowmobilers can ride through Esterhazy is 168 km. Franklin says he has lost count of the number of stakes and signs that have to be put up across the trail, but it’s about $20,000 worth of equipment. “It’s something that I enjoy, going out in the snowmobile and being on it. It was actually myself and our late president, who were the ones who started this. At the time we found out about the trails being for sale and it wasn’t being used for 10 years, so we paid the back taxes on it and started making it a year-round trail.” Before being president for the club,

Franklin says he was a volunteer for 27 years and an executive member for an additional 15 years. “The Super Sledders has always been here and it’s a snowmobile club, and then around the time of the late 2000s, that was a time where we did start with the SSA to get set up, start our trails and get them approved.” He says it’s important to keep the trail alive. However this year, Franklin says he felt the weight of having limited volunteers to help prep the trail for the season. “We’re like all clubs, we’re in a slow death spiral with volunteering, it’s a struggle and every year it’s a struggle.”

Trails need volunteers to help repair damage In the summer, the trails in Esterhazy are also used for ATVs. Yet, with limited volunteers to maintain the trails, Franklin says the use of the trails from ATV users have caused permanent damage to them. “The snowmobilers are paying their fair share, their paying for the winter time for us to go out and do this, but the thing is in the summer time, there is no revenue.” “The ATV users are paying nothing, some people were buying memberships and saying, well I’m a member paying $30 and that’s fine, but a membership to a service club isn’t to just get on the trail. That should be a permit or something,” he says. “That’s where it got to people thinking that if I buy a membership I’m okay to ride the trail. They wanted to be a member to ride the trail, and that’s kind of been the way for the last few years but, we’re trying to change that.” “We want people to buy a membership to

the club to come out and help, because that’s what you join a club for. “ There was a meeting held in December with about 45 ATV attendees. At the meeting Franklin says he discussed the potential closing of the trail in the summer, due to the damages to the trail caused by its excessive use. “We need a group of people to step up and take this on because we just can’t anymore. We need volunteers and ATV users to come out, I mean they’re using it extensively. There’s over 1,000 off-road vehicles in this area that would have access to that trail.” He says people can help repair the damages of the trails so that they can still be used in the summer time, they just need to volunteer. “The big thing is people. It’s people coming out and helping. We had this meeting asking people to come out and help keep the trails open, something that they use and enjoy.” “There’s probably over 1,000 dirt bikes, ATVs, UTVs in the area, in which a vast majority of people have access to this trail and use it (during the summer). I mean we know there’s hundreds and hundreds of bikes on the weekend, and in the summer time there’s more people on it.” Franklin says the possibility of closing the trails in the summer is high, but if enough people volunteer to help maintain the trails, then there may not be any risk of shutting them down. “Since this (meeting) happened, we’re up to 127 members, we’ve had a lot of people pay $30 membership fee, and a lot of people donate because they understand there’s an issue,

and I don’t think they understood it before,” says Franklin. Franklin says the club as regular monthly meetings to discuss ideas on how to bring more volunteers in and to discuss potential permit fees, in order to keep the trails alive during the summer time. “When it comes to riding the trail (in the summer) that’s going to be a whole separate thing. If you want to ride your ATV on the trial then you would pay a $40 or $50 yearly or weekend fee, that sort of thing.” In addition to the fee members pay during the winter for snowmobiling, Franklin says there may be a potential summer fee for ATV users.

How people can help Esterhazy trails all year Franklin says he does not mind volunteering

his time to groom the trails with others, he just wishes to see more people who use the trails, volunteering as well. “It’s a sense of pride, like I was one of the people who originally started (grooming) when we bought this trail,” he says. “It’s a beautiful trail, it’s a huge asset to the community, and that’s why the four of us have stuck doing it. It’s just, we’ve got to the point where we’re tired of doing it. It shouldn’t be us here anymore, it should be the next generation taking over.” Franklin says at the next Esterhazy Super Sledders meeting, he’s hoping to see more people step up in volunteering. “It’s just another way of saying that we need

people. We need people to come out and get involved. There’s going to be a group, hopefully at this next meeting.” Individuals who are interested on becoming a member to the club, and volunteering their time to help maintain the trails in both the winter and summer time, can reach out to: esterhazysupersledders@gmail. com. “Our meetings are the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30 at the Legion Lounge. We also have a public Facebook page where we post information for members and the general public. There is info on there as to how to purchase a membership or donate through e-transfer which we have pretty well exclusively gone to as a payment method with Covid.”

Local support for freedom convoy By Tyson Off Staff Writer Protestors gathered in Yorkton’s City Centre park on Saturday afternoon in support of the Freedom Convoy 2022. “I think [the Freedom Convoy] is the greatest thing to happen to Canada in a long while,” said Leonard Slogotski, the event organizer. About 20 people showed up to voice their support for the protests

taking place in Ottawa. “Quite a few people have gone to Regina, to the Legislature building,” said Slogotski. Protestors gathered in the province’s capital as well to show support for Freedom Convoy 2022. When asked about the turnout in Yorkton, Slogotski said he was “Very happy, because sometimes I’m here, but nobody else is.” Slogotski said he’s

been in the park every Saturday between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm since the summer, protesting mandates and restrictions. Previous to these weekly protests he’d taken part in the Yellow Vest movement. Slogotski said he feels the Freedom Convoy is building up the spirits of Canadians. “They’re saying things like they’re proud to be a Canadian- which they weren’t for a while.”

MP reflects on PC leader leaving By Tyson Off Staff Writer Erin O’Toole announced Feb. 2, that he would be stepping down as leader of the Conservative party. The announcement came after 73 members of the party voted for his removal with 45 members voting in his favour. Yorkton This Week spoke with Conservative Yo r k t o n - M e l v i l l e

outcome] I just want to express my support for Erin,” said Wagantall. “He’s worked very hard. “During the election there were a number of issues. Canadians felt that they were misled on some of these issues.” Wagantall referred to the word ‘flip-flop’ regarding O’Toole’s stance on different arguments. “What I heard a lot was, ‘We don’t need another left-wing party’,” said Wagantall of the voters’ perspectives. “People want to see a true alternative to the Liberals.” Wagantall said the Conservative Party is still strong in Ottawa and likened them to a family. “We are a caucus of a lot of varying perspectives,” she said. Wagantall said the results of the vote are a step in the right direction. “I believe that we are doing what is best for our party and what is best for Canada,” she said. “We’re looking to the future.” Wagantall stated later in an e-mail to Yorkton This Week, “I am pleased to see the concerns within our caucus and amongst supporters in my riding addressed. I am pleased to have Candice Bergen serving as interim leader. I look forward to our members choosing the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada in the near future.” Wagantall also took time to express her support for the Freedom Convoy protest. “I’m proud of the efforts of everyday Canadians in the convoy,” she said. At the same time the MP condemned the desecration of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the presence of NeoNazis among peaceful protestors. “These acts are totally not acceptable,” she said, adding, “some people will come just to cause issues,” and, “these individuals should be held responsible.”

Sask. government appoints provincial court judge in Yorkton The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to announce the appointment of Derek Charles Maher to the Provincial Court in Yorkton. “I know Judge Maher’s strong commitment to serving the public and I’m happy to announce that he will now be able to do that as a member of the Provincial Court,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “In addition to his legal knowledge and experience, Judge Maher has a capacity for empathy that will serve

him and the people of Yorkton well.” Judge Maher received his law degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 1996. Following his call to the bar in 1997, he resumed studies and obtained designation as a Chartered Accountant. In 2000, he joined the law firm of Kanuka Thuringer LLP and practiced in the areas of taxation and corporate commercial law. He then left private practice and worked as a lawyer in the Saskatchewan mining industry.

In 2013, he became a Crown Prosecutor with the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General. While in that role, he prosecuted a wide variety of matters including murder charges before juries as well as financial crimes. In early 2021, he joined the Securities Division of the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan as legal counsel, where his primary responsibility was derivative markets and crypto-asset trading regulation.

Judge Maher has also devoted time to his community throughout his career. His most recent endeavours include volunteering for CPA Canada’s Financial Literacy Program, the University of Saskatchewan College of Law Endowment Fund Advisory Committee, and the CPA Saskatchewan discipline committee. He was also recently elected as a Bencher of the Law Society of Saskatchewan and appointed to the University of Regina Senate.
