Canora Minor Hockey 2019/2020 season reflection Courtesy of Canora Courier The 2019/20 season has come to an early and unexpected end for the Canora Minor Hockey Association (CMHA). The end came on March 12 when Hockey Canada and Saskatchewan Hockey Association made the decision to cancel the remainder of the season due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic concerns, according to Stacy Vangen, CMHA representative. “CMHA supports the decision that was made, however COVID has left two of our teams with the feeling of unfinished business,” said Vangen. The Canora Peewee Cobras were all set to face the Moosomin Peewee Rangers for the MHL Peewee A Banner. “The Canora players and coaches worked so hard all year, and this was their ultimate goal from the beginning of the season,” said Vangen. “To say the peewee team and their coaching staff were disappointed is an understatement. We are all left in a position to look to the future and hope for when we can return to the ice next season.” The Peewee Cobras experienced a successful season, with a regular season record of 13 wins and only 1 loss. The
team hosted a home tournament in Canora, and attended tournaments in Southey, Tisdale, and Estevan as well as facing Kelvington, Foam Lake and Watson in SHA provincials. CMHA is hoping to see a bantam team back in Canora for the fall as eight of the peewee players will move into the bantam age group. “The peewee team members felt the community really supported them this season,” said Vangen. “CMHA believes that the return of bantam hockey would be well supported by the community.” The Novice Black Cobras team members were also left feeling like their season wasn’t complete. The team had three regular season games left to be played at the time the season was cancelled, games that were expected to be competitive. “They worked hard through the season and had improved greatly,” said Vangen. “The team of nine players took part in a home tournament as well as visiting tournaments in Langenburg and Dundurn. They were looking forward to combining teams with the Novice White Cobras to play in the Kamsack tournament on March 28 as one team of Canora players.”
Unfortunately, that tournament was cancelled. The Novice White Cobras were fortunate to play their season out, and celebrate their team windup on March 12 prior to the cancellation of the season. The players enjoyed a game against their siblings and parents, and pizza and cupcakes afterwards. The Canora Atom Cobras had also finished their season. The Cobras faced the Moosomin Rangers in the MHL Atom D playoffs. “Unfortunately after three hard fought games, Canora lost the series two games to one,” said Vangen. “The team members then had their fun windup game on March 10 with their families. Participants enjoyed the game with lots of celly’s (celebrations after goals are scored), penalties, and laughs had by all. They also enjoyed a team meal afterward made by 3G Friends who run the concession at the Civic Center.” The Canora IP Cobras experienced a season of growth. This young team started the season with most of the players having never skated before. “They did not play any games this season as they were focused primarily on learning the basics,” said Vangen “CMHA is excited to see what growth is in store for the

Members of the Canora IP Cobras, from left, were: Allie Herriges, Bennett Brown, Travis Brown, Coy Kraynick, Ava Sliva, Lowell Rice, and Blake Taylor. Unavailable for the photo was Lasko Holmstrom IP program. “Hockey seems to have a reputation for being costly, and we want to work to reduce the stigma. The CMHA executive passed a motion at the last meeting that for the 2020/2021 season all children born in 2013 or later will have free registration. We want to see as many youngsters try it as possible.” As a result of social distancing the spring AGM, banquet and awards have been postponed. “CMHA is not sure at this point when we will be able to meet with our membership and celebrate our teams,
however it is more important that everyone stays safe and at home,” said Vangen. “We need to do our part in the fight against COVID-19.” In 2019/2020 CMHA had 59 registered players, a number which Vangen said they are hoping will steadily increase in the future. Assuming all eligible players register to play again next season, player projections are: eight players in bantam, 15 in peewee, 19 in atom, 10 in novice and seven players in I.P. Registration updates for the 2020/2021 season will be available at the CMHA Facebook page

The Preeceville Museum acknowledges its 15-year anniversary Courtesy of Preeceville Progress The Preeceville and District Heritage Museum was a dream come true for members of the Preeceville Historical Society. The museum opened its doors on June 15, 2006. It had previously opened for two weeks in 2005 as a trial run and was met with much success, stated organizers. It recently acknowledged its 15th year as a successful museum. “There had been some plans in place to acknowledge it with an old fash-
ioned picnic but with the pandemic, all plans are uncertain at this time,” said Agnes Murrin, current president of the museum. The original building that had been designated for the museum was the old station house but when the old Preeceville nurses’ residence became available the museum members made the decision to utilize it. The board approached the Town of Preeceville with wanting to spearhead a heritage project that would mark the provincial centennial. The project would be a

heritage museum with the old nurses’ residence building utilized for the project. The ownership of the building remained as the Town of Preeceville property but the project was run by the board. “We are very thankful that we waited and got a better building with a better location,” said Lorne Plaxin, past president. The nurses’ residence building was originally built in 1940 in Yorkton and had served as a dormitory for pilots in the Commonwealth Pilot Training Program during the Second World War, stated the Preeceville history book. Young men from all over the British Commonwealth had come to Yorkton to learn to fly before they were sent overseas. The pilots served in The Battle of Britain and Europe or as bomber pilots who became part of Bomber Command that disabled the Nazi war machine. After the war, the building was empty and offered to any community that was interested. The nurses and matrons of the old hos-
pital had accommodations all over the Town of Preeceville so the hospital board decided to apply for the pilot quarters, which was two buildings. In 1948, the buildings were brought to Preeceville in sections and placed on a full basement that was constructed prior to the arrival of the sections, which were joined to create one building. The building was heated by steam heat and provided adequate housing for nurses, nurses aides, matrons and other hospital personnel until 1970. Afterwards the rental suites were occupied by the public with office spaces also rented out, stated the history book. A museum board was established in 2004/2005 and worked through the year setting up the museum. “We felt we needed to do a trial run. The museum opened its doors for a two-week period in October 2005 and were very encouraging with positive comments,” said Plaxin. The board worked for the rest of the year and on June 6, 2006

Museum board members consisted of the original Preeceville Historical Society members: Joe Oxley, president; Lorne Plaxin, vice-president; Gladys Myhr, treasurer; Lorna Brodziak, secretary; Cas Godfrey, Joyce Gulka and Mary Petrowski. Individuals who also joined the museum board were Pat Osatiuk and Nellie Long. At the first meeting of the museum board held June 1, 2004, the new executive was elected with Lorne Plaxin
as president, Lorna Brodziak as secretary and treasurer and the vice-president position was not filled at that first meeting. Other directors at large were: Nellie Long, Mary Grimsrud, Vicki Peet, Joyce Gulka and Mary Petrowski. Throughout the years the museum has hosted numerous events for the community including Chili and Bread Day during Old Home Week held in July, and a car show and shine with an 80’s theme and a supply of homemade clay oven baked bread and cinnamon buns for the public to purchase.
Local author releases fifth title By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Marjorie Dech, who writes under the pseudonym Marsha Olivia Meadows, has a new book. A book from the author has become a rather regular occurrence. “I published my first
novel in 2013. Jessica’s Perception was to become the first of what is commonly called now as, Jessica’s Trilogy,” she related. “The second of that series, Jessica Awakens was released in 2014 and the third, Jessica’s Attainment followed in 2016 bringing

the series to a close. One year later, 2017 Dark Cold Ice was published and now we have Bar-B-Que being published this year. The idea for the latest book came almost by accident admitted Dech who was “born and raised in the outlaying rural
areas”, and now resides in Yorkton. “A friend and I were doing the ‘bs’ thing over a coffee when I noted that I was trying to come up with a couple of ideas for a novel I am working on that will contain a collage of short stories. What was meant to
be a slight joke actually became extended to a full novel that definitely would not fit into a book of shorts.” Readers will not have to have read Dech’s previous books to jump right into the latest offering. “Bar-B-Que, as does Dark Cold Ice, stands
by its self and is again, another completely new genre for me,” she explained. “With this novel I have dipped into the depths of darkness. I have written a tale of a young lad who has a thirst for the heat of fire. A serial killer of Continued on Page 5

Kamsack Arts Council and Playhouse Theatre announce cancellations Courtesy of Kamsack Times The Kamsack Arts Council regretfully announced that The Fitzgeralds concert, which was scheduled for April 22 at the Kamsack Playhouse, has been postponed, and will be possibly be rescheduled for sometime in the fall, according to Jack Koreluik, chair. The cancellation is a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and is one of numerous cancellations announced in keeping with federal and provincial government restrictions in place in an attempt to “flatten the curve” of the coronavirus spread. The Fitzgeralds is a family group consisting of three-time Canadian Grandmaster Fiddle and Step Dance champions, Tom, Kerry and Julie Fitzgerald. Starting their musical careers in the family band Everything Fitz, and with roots in Canada’s renowned Ottawa Valley, The Fitzgeralds have evolved to include a wide variety of material in their performances, including Celtic fiddle pieces, high-energy step dancing, and original compositions and arrangements, said a concert release.
The performance was to be the third in the series of live performances for the 2019/2020 season presented by the Kamsack Arts Council through the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC), Koreluik said. OSAC is an umbrella organization that enables community arts councils and schools to tour and hold live musical and theatre performances, visual art exhibitions, workshops and special events across Saskatchewan and are proud to live and work on the lands of Treaty Four and Treaty Six and the traditional home of the Métis, said information on its website. OSAC is committed to continuing to build its relationship with Indigenous peoples as well as those from around the world who make Saskatchewan the diverse place it is. The Kamsack Arts Council is a division of the Kamsack Playhouse Theatre, which has also closed its doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The last movie shown was on March 7, titled Sonic the Hedgehog, said Koreluik, adding that the theatre will remain closed until further notice.

In a time of crisis, the province falls short By Jordan Stricker It was another bizarre week in Saskatchewan politics. The Sask. Party had to make some moves to get with the times when it comes to dealing with the crisis we find ourselves in, and they fell short. The announcement regarding their Social Services pandemic response plan was not received well. The $171,00 they put forward to benefit shelters in Saskatchewan was a small contribution in the eyes of those who work in the industry and critics from the opposition alike. Leader of the Official Opposition Ryan Meili, said in a press conference he was disappointed with the additional funding announced by
the province. “It’s a bare sliver of the operating budgets of these facilities. Those dollars will be eaten up in no time,” said Meili. There were some great announcements with the response plan. It really does seem like for the most part the Sask. Party is trying to get ahead of this crisis, although to many Saskatchewan citizens, the approach the provincial government has taken is one of a turtle’s pace. The positives with the provincial response plan is the announcements of overflow from shelters for the province’s most vulnerable, will be provided with other means of shelter such as hotels and wherever else possible as long as people can still practise social distancing and self-isola-
tion. Social Services Minister Paul Merriman also said there are approximately 1,700 vacant Saskatchewan Housing Corporation units in 29 larger communities around Saskatchewan that will be leveraged to ensure people impacted by the COVID-19 crisis will have a place to go. The $171,000 for shelters across the province is where there seems to be a large disconnect. In a story published by CTV, Lighthouse Saskatoon executive director Don Windels, said he anticipates they will receive about $35,000 which works out to be around 0.5 per cent of their annual budget. If those numbers are close, that leaves $136,000 for the remaining nine
facilities and organizations that are due to receive the additional funding. If you split the pie evenly with the remaining facilities, that works out to be $15,111, a drop in the bucket for many of these organizations trying to continue their work in a crisis. In times like these, it would be easy to say anything helps. Until you consider how much operating costs must skyrocket when you are dealing with a virus that doesn’t just go away. Lydia Bourouiba, an associate professor at MIT, has researched the dynamics of exhalations like coughs and sneezes. Bourouiba has studied for years at The Fluid Dynamics of Disease Transmission and said in a story published by USA Today, exhalations cause gaseous clouds that can travel up to 27 feet. Imagine trying to contain a virus that can travel up to 27 feet in close quarters like some of these facilities, which are doing the best they possibly can for the province’s most vulnerable. With community transmission numbers starting to rise in the province, it may be a stretch to say one cough or sneeze in public could cause anyone around them to get sick, but in a crisis just the mere risk is one that needs to be taken seriously. Fifteen to $35,000 could not possibly make a dent when staffing will have to be upped, supplies order, and hours of additional care and
maintenance will inevitably have to take place to maintain the obviously surging numbers of those trying to seek refuge and avoid at all costs catching COVID-19. Premier Scott Moe has said over the last few weeks when questioned if the province has acted fast enough to combat the widespread virus, he believes the province has acted quickly and accordingly in line with other provinces to get ahead of it. Although, there are countless reports of supply issues for healthcare professionals and a worry of a shortage of ventilators in the case of a surge. A surge that doesn’t seem as crazy as it once did when cases were only jumping by single digits daily. From March 27 to March 30, confirmed cases jump by 72. We are now at over 200 cases in three weeks with 44 of them community contacts, 10 with no known exposures and 56 under investigation by public health. We can only hope if the virus does hit massive surges in cases, the province and the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) have really done their due diligence and are ready for the many cases that could be filling their hospital beds at rapid rates. To point out another positive point in a week of disappointments, the province is finally addressing the ability to share more in-depth information with the public during the crisis.
As Abraham Lincoln one said, “I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended on to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.” Moe has announced the Saskatchewan Health authority will publish a report for the public which will include models and projections of the spread of COVID-19 in Saskatchewan. We can only hope the virus doesn’t skyrocket enough to where the precautions taken by the province, along with short-comings in additional funding will not come back to bite them going forward.

LOCAL Continued from Page 3 sorts, who enjoys helping ‘Karma’ reap havoc on ruffians who tend to torment and intimidate the lesser people. I have also added a dash of thought that perhaps a ‘Paranormal Entity’ might exist.” It is a book Dech admitted, almost did not get written. “I had thoughts of putting the book on the shelf and leaving it undone a few times, but after allowing some of my previous readers to view some snippets, their replies were a desire for more of the story,” she said. “I always aim to please my readers so BarB-Que became a completed novel.” The issue for Dech was plotting what turns the story would ultimately take. “Planning the route the story would take was indeed more fun than it was a challenge,” she said, adding; “once the idea registered in my mind all that was to be done was outline the thoughts, fashion them into easy flowing order and proceed. “In any novel I write, I need to see the happening in my mind’s eye
before it hits the pages. If I can see it happen, the story becomes very simple to execute. Prep work for me, is thinking and seeing it while I go about any daily chores thus you may often see a note pad and pen within my reach. “When a vision happens, it turns into words for whichever novel I may be thinking on at that moment.” For Dech it is a process that has come to her with no formal training as a writer, beyond one course, and it stuck. “As a high school student, English was a favorite subject for me,” she related. “I read the pages of novels and books a plenty until I desired more teachings. “I wanted to try my hand at writing. We did not have the opportunity, at that time, to study writing anywhere other than by correspondence so that is exactly what I did. I took a course in writing, ‘Short Stories’.” It helped too that her career was one where she could collect ‘story ideas’ almost by osmosis. “In the early years of my chosen career, I worked in the fashion and hair industry where
ing them to perform in ways that are far removed from the person’s regular beliefs,” she said. But, is Dech happy with the final tale she has told? “I am my own worst critic yet while doing a draft or editing Bar-BQue, I must say, yes I am satisfied with the final outcome of the completed project,” she said. And, there may be more stories to be told. I was granted the opportunity to listen to and absorb a wide array of adventures told to me by those I worked with and for,” said Dech “These tales have assisted me in the completion of four novels thus far, and now the fifth. “I continue to work part time with the public still drawing inspirations from their stories that assist me in writing adventures yet to be executed on the pages of my next novels.” As for her latest offering the challenge was to go places in the story that were disturbing in nature. “I think the most
challenging aspect of this project was accepting the fact I could write something with such darkness in it,” said Dech. “I previously noted that I had shared snippets with some others to read. When I did that I did expect negative reviews but received nothing negative at all. However there may be those who,
after reading the entire works, just might look at me a touch sideways when next we meet.” So what does the author see as the best aspect of the book? “I think the best aspect of this novel lies in the possible existence of a ‘Paranormal Existence’ that can maybe take over a human’s mind caus-
“Once again I have left a portal which could lead to a follow up novel yet no plans of such are in the works however, I do have two more novels started that need to be completed,” said Dech. “With our world in the state it is, where social distancing has become the daily practice, I have much time on my hands so perhaps there will be no better time to draw pictures in my mind and complete one or both of the next projects.” All of Dech’s novels can be found on Amazon Book store as well as Coles in Yorkton (once it is open). She can be found on Facebook and her web page; www.momeadows. com
Helping the Easter Bunny decorate A pysanka is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs
using a wax-resist method. The word pysanka comes from the verb
pysaty, ‘to write’ or ‘to inscribe’, as the designs are not painted on, but written (inscribed) with beeswax, details Wikipedia.
Many other Central and Eastern European ethnic groups decorate eggs using wax resist for Easter. These include the Belarusians, Bulgarians,
Croats, Czechs, Hungarians, Lithuanians, Poles, Romanians, and Serbs. Many in East Central Saskatchewan also par-
take of the craft at this time of year, including the Lindgren family; Bristol, Alexis, and Westin, who did some Easter eggs recently.

“Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin’.” If you find yourself following the lyrics from the theme song for Smokey and the Bandit and heading eastward, expect to stop at a highway checkpoint established at the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border. There has been no talk of “closing the border completely,” said the conservation officer managing the checkpoint on Highway 16. He also mentioned he could not foresee a closure happening in the future. The intent of the checkpoints is to educate those coming into the province for nonessential reasons.

19, further informing travellers of this Public Health Order. Truckers, healthcare workers, those heading to work that live outside the province and local community residents are the only ones not expected to self-isolate and self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 when entering Manitoba. The government’s Provincial Health Authority established five check-points when entering Manitoba as a precautionary measure to further halt the spread of the virus which is sweeping across Canada at an alarming rate. The Province of Manitoba has implemented a border checkpoint in the following locations on the Saskatchewan border: Trans-Canada Highway West (west of Kirkella/Elkhorn/
Virden); HWY 16 (west of Russell): HWY 5W (west of Roblin); and HWY 2 (west of Sinclair/ Reston/Souris), stopping all vehicles entering Manitoba. There is a check-stop on the Ontario border as well. Signage will also be placed at the Winnipeg Richardson International Airport and the Brandon Municipal Airport. They are advising both international as well as domestic travellers to self-isolate and self-monitor for 14 days when arriving. When contacted regarding possible travel disruptions, the Government of Manitoba Public Relations Office gave the following websites for more information about the checkpoints: https://news.gov. mb.ca and http://www. manitoba.ca/covid19/
Yorkton and surrounding area selected for University of Reginaled dementia project Yorkton and its surrounding region has been chosen as the area of focus for a five-year project that will fund three to four organizations to deliver services that support greater social inclusion of older adults living with dementia and their caregivers. The project is being conducted through the Saskatchewan Population Health and Evaluation Research Unit (SPHERU), a research centre based at both the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan. The Interventions to Enhance Social Inclusion of Older Adults with Dementia in Saskatchewan project was made possible thanks to a contribution from Employment and Social Development Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program. The project is being led

by Dr. Bonnie Jeffery, a professor in the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Regina’s Prince Albert Campus. The team also includes Dr. Tom McIntosh, professor in the Department of Politics and International Studies, and Dr. Nuelle Novik, associate professor in the Faculty of Social Work. “We believe that Yorkton and the surrounding communities are ideal places to explore what interventions can best enhance the quality of lives of people with dementia that live in smaller communities and rural areas,” says Jeffery. “We are also confident that services and supports that are shown to be effective in this area can be expanded to other rural communities in Saskatchewan.” Gord Grant lives in Moosomin and sits on Continued on Page 7

$5 million for Indigenous research University of Saskatchewan (USask) researchers have been awarded $5 million from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) as part of a major new national initiative that aims to create a network of Indigenous research centres driven by and grounded in Indigenous communities. The new $100.8-million, 16-year national program—Network Environments for Indigenous Health Research (NEIHR)— represents the largestever single investment in Indigenous health research in Canadian history. It is led by USask faculty member Dr. Carrie Bourassa, scientific director of the CIHR Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health based at USask, and involves the other 12 CIHR national research institutes as partners.
“Through these nine health research networks across Canada, researchers, Elders, and communities will work together to conduct vitally important health research based on the priorities and values of Indigenous peoples,” said USask VicePresident of Research Karen Chad. “This Indigenous-led, community-based approach will ensure better health outcomes for Indigenous peoples and foster the next generation of Indigenous health researchers. This is reconciliation at work.” The national coordinating centre will be based at USask. It will work collaboratively with the NEIHR centres in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes, and Canada’s circumpolar region to advance national and internation-
USask researchers Dr. Caroline Tait and Simon Lambert with NEIHR partners Métis NationSaskatchewan Health Minister Marg Friesen, Whitecap Dakota First Nation Chief Darcy Bear, and MN-S President Glen McCallum. (Photo: University of Saskatchewan) al Indigenous health research partnerships, establish an annual international Indigenous health research conference, and help evaluate the effectiveness of the new research networks. Dr. Caroline Tait, a USask medical anthropologist and member
of the Métis NationSaskatchewan (MN-S), has been awarded $1.5 million from CIHR to lead the national centre that will co-ordinate health research and training with the leads of the eight other regional Indigenous health research networks.
YORKTON Continued from Page 6 the advisory committee for the project. He lives with dementia and knows that this project will help Yorkton and the surrounding communities to better understand the needs of people with dementia and their caregivers. “This project can give groups or programs the support, training, and awareness they may need to better provide assistance for those living with dementia in rural communities”, says Grant. “When there is more community awareness, this will hopefully reduce the stigma that prevents people from seeking help and support.” This project will also help to support caregivers for those living with dementia. Edna Parrott, also an advisory committee member and a former Director of Homecare for the Sunrise Health Region, cared for her husband who lived with dementia. She knows first-hand how important socialization is, for both caregivers and those living with dementia, and hopes this project will help individuals to realize that they are not alone in their rural communities. “This project will allow us to have programs
developed by rural Saskatchewan people, for rural Saskatchewan people”, says Parrott. “Saskatchewan is a diverse province with many different cultures, so we can take that into consideration and implement programs suitable for specific areas.” The project team is collaborating with the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan on the Interventions to Enhance Social Inclusion of Older Adults with Dementia in Saskatchewan project. Given our recent experience with COVID-19 we have all become more aware of the importance of this project in addressing the social isolation that can be experienced by older adults and especially those living with dementia. The team will be holding meetings in Yorkton and area at a later date when it is safe to do so for organizations interested in participating in the project. In the meantime they are offering a webinar on April 22 at 1:30 p.m. to provide information on the project. Organizations who are interested in attending the webinar session can contact Michelle Harazny, Project Coordinator at michelle.harazny@ uregina.ca or 306-337-2228. — Submitted
As well, with $3.5-million from CIHR over five years and in-kind support from the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) and MN-S, Tait will lead the Saskatchewan NEIHR network to foster health research within Indigenous communities, working in partnership with the FSIN, MN-S, the Whitecap Dakota First Nation, and a team of more than 60 researchers and community partners. “The majority of our provincial network members are First Nations and Métis peoples who are best placed to lead health research, training and knowledge mobilization for our communities,” said Tait. “These networks will help improve the health of Indigenous peoples by removing the barriers communities face in conducting their own health research, and by matching community needs with researcher interests and expertise.” Two intertwined Saskatchewan networks—one for First Nations communities and one for Métis communities—will be established with funding from post-secondary institutions: $400,000 from USask, $75,000 from University of Regina (U of R), and $25,000 from First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv). Over five years, these two networks will hire 12 people, award over $300,000 in community project grants, and support more than 50 Indigenous students. Research assistants hired from Indigenous communities will col-
lect data in communities across the province, community research facilitators will connect communities to relevant research opportunities, and Elders and Knowledge Holders will provide cultural guidance on relationship building, protocol, research, and community and land-based learning. The networks will also educate researchers in best practices. “This project will provide an opportunity to collect and protect Métis-specific health data to inform Métis health and wellbeing priorities which will then determine areas of health care program design and service delivery to improve the overall wellness of our citizens, based on our identity, culture and values,” said Marg Friesen, MN-S health minister. The Saskatchewan networks will work with researchers at USask, U of R, and FNUniv, and with partners including the Office of the Treaty Commissioner, Gabriel Dumont Institute, Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies, Aboriginal Friendship Centres of Saskatchewan, Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority, and Saskatchewan Polytechnic. “Our goal is to ensure researchers and communities have the tools they need to work together effectively, guided by the First Nations’ OCAP® (Ownership, Control, Access and Possession) principles, and Métis health research and data governance principles,” said Tait. — Submitted

Scientists from McGill University used the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan to uncover that different minerals block heart valves in men versus women. This discovery could impact how heart disease is diagnosed and treated for the different sexes. Heart disease is the leading cause of death throughout the world. Marta Cerruti, an Associate Professor with
McGill University, and her team used the CMCF beamline at the CLS to analyze damaged heart valves from patients who needed transplants. “What we showed, which was a surprise to us, is that the type of minerals in the heart valves is different between the sexes,� said Cerruti. The beamline allowed them to see that the buildup of minerals in the heart, and its progression to a more bone-like

state, is slower in women than in men. There was also a type of mineral found almost exclusively in the female samples. “That finding was completely new, we did not expect it at all. There is no other technique that could have showed us this difference in mineral phase.� The team hopes this finding could help to develop better diagnostics and therapies. Continued on Page 11

DISCOVERY Continued from Page 9 “Now that we know the composition is different, that could help in developing new diagnostic tests that are specific for women versus men,” said Cerruti. “Understanding what the minerals are could definitely help to develop a cure. It’s possible that there could be easier ways to target these minerals and dissolve them for women.” “The fact that current diagnoses are skewed towards the male presentation of this disease definitely disadvantages women,” she added. Historically, scientific and medical studies have not featured diversity and inclusion. For example, using only male mice in experiments used to be a standard practice. “It’s a relatively new concept that people have to ensure that they analyze diverse samples and patients. I’ve seen it develop in my own career.” Cerruti supports diversity and that translates into her views as a scientist too. “Basically, by only looking at a specific population, you will skew your data. Having a more diverse data set improves your science,” she said. “That is the way science should be done.” This isn’t her first time trying to see the world from a broad perspective. When she was in school, she couldn’t decide if she wanted to be a philosopher or a chemist.
“I wanted to help people from a big picture point of view and to understand the world around me. Working on a biology-related project kind of puts the two things together. We’re trying to understand something that relates to the world but also has a direct effect on the wellbeing of people.” She was able to combine her passions by studying minerals. “Understanding how these minerals are formed has all these clinical applications. Once you understand what the minerals are and how they are formed in places where you don’t want them, like in heart valves, then you can help to get rid of them.” Their group is also trying to develop an improved delivery system for currently recommended drugs or a new drug. “We want make a system that helps to deliver the drug to the exact correct location so that they help remove mineral buildup in your heart arteries and valves without harming your bones or your teeth.” While her team does not yet know why different minerals form in the hearts of men and women, they plan to come back to the CLS to find out. “We want to find out why this is happening and there could be many different causes.” Down the road, these answers could help to save millions of lives around the world. — Submitted
Spring runoff underway in southern Saskatchewan Snowmelt runoff is nearing completion in much of the southern half of Saskatchewan, while the rest of province is expected to experience a below normal to normal spring runoff, according to the updated spring runoff report issued by the Water Security Agency (WSA) today. The full report can be found at https://www.wsask.ca/Lakes-and-Rivers/ Provincial-Forecast/. There are currently no areas within the province where WSA is expecting above normal flows or flooding situations. Additional precipitation and/or a rapid melt could however result in higher runoff. Well above seasonal temperatures during March, combined with lower snowpack and moisture levels, resulted in spring runoff either beginning or being close to complete in much of southern Saskatchewan. This includes all areas south of a line extending eastward from Macklin to Saskatoon and Saskatoon to Yorkton. Near normal to above normal precipitation was

observed through central areas of the province in March. This has increased the runoff potential through these areas, increasing it from below normal to near normal. An area encompassing west central Saskatchewan covering Meadow Lake, Lloydminster and Spiritwood is classified to have a normal runoff as is the extreme northwestern area of the province surrounding Uranium City. The remainder of the province is expected to have a below normal runoff. WSA has begun its normal spring operations of monitoring water basins and operating its dam systems to bring lake levels under its controls up to their normal operating levels. For further information on runoff levels, water basins and a provincial runoff map, please see the full report. WSA will continue to monitor conditions and will provide further communications if warranted.. — Submitted

Even when we’re apart, we stand together. While physical distancing is the right thing to do to defeat the COVID-19 virus, coming together to support one another is the most important thing we can do to keep our country strong. In these uncertain times, we need each other more than ever before. That’s why we’ve created the RBC Client Relief Program. You’ve had many questions and will have many more as events evolve. We want you to know we are listening, and we’ll provide the support you need, especially if you are in challenging circumstances. First, let me share what we’re doing to relieve some of the day-to-day pressure on your personal finances by: •
Deferring payments on mortgages, credit cards, installment loans and auto loans for up to six months;
•
Providing access to skipped payments through self-service online banking;
•
Ensuring credit scores are not impacted by deferred payments, and;
•
Waiving certain fees, like stop payment fees and ATM statement fees.
Second, we know many of our clients are facing additional pressure from lost employment, a major disruption in their business or unique family circumstances. Our employees are here to connect with you directly to create a personal plan to relieve the pressure you are facing. This may include reducing credit card interest charges by 50% for clients receiving credit card minimum payment deferrals. If you are experiencing more extreme financial hardship, please book a call with an advisor through our online appointment booking service. Third, for our commercial and small business clients – key engines of the Canadian economy – you can count on RBC to provide immediate relief by enabling payment deferral and temporary limit increases where needed. We are also temporarily waiving setup fees for business client enrollment in electronic cash management and remote cheque processing solutions. We are working closely with government to implement their new programs for business, and our advisors are here to help you. RBC has been serving Canadians for more than 150 years and we’ve seen a lot during that time. The challenges may differ, but the resolve of our employees never wavers. I want to thank all our employees for their compassion and extraordinary dedication during this time. The situation today is very fluid, and as events evolve so will our approach. We stand together with you.
Sincerely,
Neil McLaughlin Group Head Personal & Commercial Banking RBC
