Preeceville coach Prestie receives Outstanding Female Coach Award Courtesy of Preeceville Progress The Preeceville School acknowledged one of its own teachers for her dedication in the coaching aspect to the sports organizations within the school. Arlene Prestie was presented the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association Outstanding Female Coach Award. “Arlene Prestie is an incredible asset to the Preeceville School staff where she has been working since 1997,” said Cary Franklin, athletic director and teacher. Prestie was nominated for East Central District

Athletic Association’s Outstanding Female Coach Award this spring. The award winners were announced in June at the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association annual general meeting. Due to the unusual circumstances this spring, Prestie was presented the award on the ﬁrst day that all the students were back at school together. Prestie is a middle years math and English teacher, and has taught many subjects during her career. She began coaching both volleyball and basketball in 1997, and has coached

extracurricular activities for 25 consecutive years. “Her enthusiasm for the opportunity to work with children in an athletic environment is very admirable,” said Franklin during the award presentation. “Arlene has great relationships with students and continues to foster them beyond the classroom. She works with teams and individuals to develop them, not only as athletes, but as people, incorporating life lessons encountered in the athletic and classroom settings. Her compassion for students during difﬁcult personal

times is as impressive as her dedication to skill development and work ethic.” Prestie wants the best for her students, and sees the best in her students, even perhaps when they don’t themselves. “She not only has high standards for her students, she holds herself to the same regard,” said Franklin. “She is impeccably organized and prepared for her teams in a manner that creates the most positive seasons possible. She has, and continues to, create opportunities for students to excel in both the academic and

athletic environment. “It is one thing to coach, but Arlene goes far beyond game day. Her commitment to students is an example to anyone in the province. “It is with immense gratitude and honour we present Arlene with the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association Outstanding Female Coach Award. Thank you on behalf of all past, present and future students and athletes that have been and will be fortunate to have your involvement in their academic, athletic and personal development,’ concluded Franklin.

Planning underway for new swimming pool in Canora Courtesy of Canora Courier If there are no unforeseen obstacles along the way, Canora and area residents can expect to have a new swimming pool by the summer of 2022, which is 50 years after the opening of the existing Canora swimming pool in June 1972. During its regular meeting on September 15, town council agreed to “move forward with planning and construction of a new swimming pool facility.” Aaron Herriges, director of leisure services, said he has been thinking about the need to replace the pool since he first took on the position almost five years ago. “In January 2016, Councillor Gabora was showing me around town to get me familiar with Canora’s facilities and our first stop was the Canora swimming pool,” said Herriges. “Our immediate reaction was that this facility was very well used and its age was showing. So from the onset there were some concerns and we felt a long term plan was needed to ensure our citizens can continue to have this wonderful service for now and the distant future.” Herriges said the

importance of the swimming pool to the community was apparent right from the ﬁrst year he saw it in operation. “It’s a relaxing spot for citizens to spend the day while staying active and improving their swimming skills by taking lessons,” he said. “It was easy to see it was essential to keep this service operational. But there are many challenges that come along with a high-humidity, seasonal facility with many years of repairs, retroﬁts, and deterioration. The winter can take a toll on an asset like this over time.” The pool included two basins, change rooms and the mechanical room when it opened for business in 1972. “The main pool basin was replaced in the mid-80s,” said Herriges. “Today the original change room and paddling pool are still in use, making them almost 50 years old, a pretty good life span, if you ask me. Eventually there comes a time when decisions need be made for the present and future. With any pool this age, there are challenges in keeping it up to code, accessible, and safe for the public and employees. Structural and mechanical problems start becoming routine and keep

operational costs on the rise. Then, feasibility comes into discussion as repairs start to project past the cost of replacement.” Herriges said gaining the experience from the operation of the swimming pool over the last several years has been invaluable in formulating a strategy for the future. “It gave us the time to fully understand what is needed and what works well so we can use that information in planning a replacement facility. So during that time you just store that information so that it can be used for whenever the time comes, and it appears that time has come.” Herriges said after the new swimming pool resolution was passed during the September 15 council meeting, his ﬁrst reaction was “pure happiness for members of the community because they were going to get something they will appreciate tremendously.” His next thought was that there is a lot of work ahead in preparation for this project. “One of the challenges a project like this presents is, how do we fund a project this size?” queried Herriges. “This is a dilemma that most communities face and ours is no different. For

If all goes according to plan, Canora should have a new swimming pool by the summer of 2022. this project to be possible, a lot of appreciation can be directed to the person who handles the town’s finances, our administrator Michael Mykytyshyn. I believe the town’s financial discipline has put us in the position where we are able to pull the trigger on a project this size. Canora is lucky to have someone with his experience and knowledge. In the end, the decision for this project depended on a town council vote and I

really have to hand it our mayor and councillors for showing the initiative in getting this started. It’s a tremendous moment for Canora “The project is in the pre-planning phase, which involves gathering information and identifying concepts, systems, and possible locations. We hosted a very good concept presentation and have a good feeling about which direction to take. The details of a plan will come later throughout

the winter. One thing I can say right now is we are going to be very open-minded and throw around a lot of ideas. In the end, the project will have to meet a set budget while staying within our means, and at the same time keeping the future in mind,” Herriges said. As the swimming pool project progresses, there will be opportunities for local business, contractors, and rural municipalities to get involved in a variety of different ways. “We’ll deﬁnitely be accepting monetary or in-kind donations, sponsorship, and fundraisers to help relieve some of the ﬁnancial commitment.” Herriges said the plan is for construction to begin in the fall of 2021 and be completed in time for the summer of 2022.

Kamsack recreational soccer group celebrates 32nd anniversary Courtesy of Kamsack Times This month, the people who have been meeting to play soccer on a recreational basis in Kamsack are celebrating their group’s 32nd anniversary. “I came to Kamsack in September 32 years ago and we formed a recreational soccer group later the same month,” Stephen Ruten said last week, explaining that during the summer, since assemblies were permitted in June, the group, which averages about 20, has been

meeting Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons on the grounds of the Victoria School in Kamsack. “It’s all recreational,” Ruten said. “Sid Novitski divides everyone into groups that can play each other. We compete, but we always part as friends.” The soccer games are open to all and include players as young as six or seven years of age and are currently as old as the late 60s, he said. “We especially appreciate the international ﬂavour of the group which has attracted new residents

Among the players who met at the Victoria School grounds on September 11, from left, were: (back row) Jeremy Ruten of Saskatoon, Franklin Emereuwa, Stephen Ruten, Greg Leis and Bryan Semeniuk; (front) Megan Raffard, Eric Moriarty, Sid Novitski, Tye Stevenson and Jesse Gigun, and kneeling at front, Bo Stevenson. Also playing but not available for the photo were: Jimmy Tao, Max Kuzmenchuk, Morgan Raffard, Tyson Kazakoff, Brooke Taylor, Nicholas Bielecki and Dr. Ovie Albert’s three children, Kevwe, Odafe and Runo (who goes by Brian).

to the community who have come from other parts of the world.” Because of the restrictions to guard against COVID-19, rules of the game have been altered, he said. For example, there is no use of the hands, goalies use gloves and physical distancing is observed. A total of 20 persons attended the games on September 11, Ruten said. A couple times this summer, a total of six RCMP members in full work gear, on-the-job, participated. “(This shows) good community involvement,” he said. “One RCMP ofﬁcer also showed up brieﬂy one evening just to drop off a couple of soccer balls that he wanted to donate ‘for the cause,’ as he put it. That kindness was appreciated. “Soccer is the only sport I grew up with in West Africa,” he said. “When I came to Canada, I played soccer in Quill Lake, both indoors and out, and then started this group when I came to Kamsack in September 1988. “We had the most players in the mid-1990s when for about two months we had about 50 players meeting at the Kamsack Comprehensive Institute gymnasium,” he

Running after the ball as the soccer game got underway on September 11 were Eric Moriarty, left, and Franklin Emereuwa. said, adding that often after hockey was done they’ve had a fresh inﬂux of players. “Over the 32 years, we’ve had an average of 20 to 23 players attend; there were more once the games were moved into the gymnasium, and then fewer in the summer because “there’s much more running outdoors,” he said. “I told the players that while in a gym, if you stood in one place, the ball will come to you about once or twice a minute. “We’ve had a variety of players over time, including, an RCMP staff sergeant, doctors and a doctor’s wife.” Among the current members of the group who, along with Ruten,

have been involved the longest are Sid Novitski, Greg Leis and Warren Andrews. The late Daya Kaushik and his ﬁve grandchildren were the core of the group from the beginning, he said. Daya began when he was 65 years old and played until he was 88. Ruten said that the two best female players he has played with in Kamsack were Sheila Kaushik, a granddaughter of Daya, and Carla Kazakoff, who played in the 1990s. “We’ve been playing for fun for 32 years, and we’ve never charged anyone a penny, if you remember what a penny is,” he said. “The guys chipped in for a new

ball occasionally and the recreation board has provided balls for us.” Over this time, although there have been a few minor bruises, there has never been a signiﬁcant injury, he said. Asked what the group plans to do once winter arrives and the school no longer permits use of the gymnasium, Ruten said, not entirely joking, that if any district farmer has a large shed or old barn that could accommodate the group, he or she would get a big thank you from the regular soccer players. Normally, by October, the players would begin regular sessions in the gym. “We’ll continue playing outside until it gets too cold,” he said.

New lodge to keep Pasqua FN elders in the community: Chief By Evan Radford Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Regina Leader-Post) PASQUA FIRST NATION — Chief Matthew (Todd) Peigan says he’s hustling to get work started on his community’s new Elders Centre. By his own admission, it could be for his benefit. “One day I may be in there, so I advised my elders to design it pretty good,” he said with a chuckle. Peigan spoke with journalists during a sodturning ceremony at the Pasqua First Nation on Friday, held to mark the beginning of construction on the new lodge. The community has costed it at $9.95 million for construction, plus another $2.5 million or so for architectural work and equipment installations. Peigan said construction is to start with-

in the next 10 days, while completion and opening is planned for September next year. All joking aside, Peigan said the Elders Centre will be important, because it allows Pasqua’s golden-agers to stay in their community “once they need that Level 2 and Level 3 care.” Currently an elder who can no longer live independently has to leave Pasqua to live in a care home or an assistedliving home. The completion of the Elders Centre will mean “our people don’t have to leave, that we give them a sense of security. Because what’s on their mind is, if I can’t look after myself, and a lot of them don’t want to admit it, they will continue to try to stay in independent living, and we know that they need those second-, third-level services,” he said. Each living unit in the

new centre will be private with a kitchenette, a bedroom and a living area; communal areas are to include a lounge for visiting, a sauna and a theatre. Pasqua’s current living centre for elders has 20 units, 10 of which have one bedroom, and 10 units have two bedrooms; it’s full, he said. Designed by Reginabased KRN Tolentino Architecture, the new building is to have 12 units to start, with options for expansion. Architect Ronald Tolentino has designed the building’s exterior with solar panels and what looks to be a circular, communal-gathering atrium near the building’s entrance. The living quarters extend lengthwise off the main gathering area. Peigan noted the community’s elders will be giving their input for designing the building’s

EDITORIAL Carbon pricing is like handwashing in a pandemic Sometimes we need to be reminded of the basics. During the COVID-19 pandemic, public health officials have repeated clear messages about handwashing, physical distancing and maskwearing. These are relatively simple preventative measures to limit the virus’s spread. Responding to climate change isn’t so simple, yet it’s every bit as urgent. Although many paths can help steer us toward meeting our 2030 and 2050 climate commitments, evidence shows some policies are essential to the mix. They’re the climate version of handwashing in a pandemic. One of these is putting a price on carbon to make polluters pay. The Supreme Court of Canada is about to hear a case that references carbon pricing but speaks to bigger issues of constitutional jurisdiction and climate policy. It goes to the heart of how our country is tackling the climate crisis. Three provinces led by conservative premiers asked their highest courts to rule on whether the federal government’s Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act, which requires provinces to put a price on carbon pollution or adhere to the federal carbon tax, exceeded federal authority. The federal government won its cases in Saskatchewan and Ontario’s Courts of Appeal but lost in Alberta. All three provinces appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, which will hear the case September 22-23. Pollution doesn’t stop at borders, and the greenhouse gases that go into the air of one province affect the entire country’s ability to meet its Paris Agreement commitments. People in Canada are among the highest per capita carbon emitters in the world, so we have a long way to go to tackle our fair share in the fight to address global

DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters heating. Provinces that do as little as possible on the climate front hurt us all. As Canada makes choices on whether its economic recovery will be green and just, moving ahead with a carbon pricing requirement throughout the country makes even more sense. Those who pollute the most will help fund a green recovery. Pricing carbon, along with removing fossil fuel subsidies, stimulates investment in low-carbon energy technologies that will lead the way to a decarbonized economy and a shift away from fossil fuels. It accelerates investments in green innovation, nature-based climate solutions, electrified public transit and electric vehicle charging networks. Returning to “business as usual” and the myriad intractable problems and crises associated with it is not an option. Putting a price on carbon works. Emissions in B.C. would be up to 15 per cent higher if the province had not put its carbon tax in place in 2008, according to Canada’s former Ecofiscal Commission. Meanwhile, B.C.’s real gross domestic product per capita between 2008 and 2015 increased by 6.4 per cent, compared to only 3.1 per cent in the rest of Canada. In addition to the potential to drive deeper emissions reductions as carbon prices go up, evidence shows the policy helps change individual and business behaviours — for the good of all. Carbon pricing has the added benefit of providing these outcomes at a lower economic cost than other policies. The pricing system is designed to be

fair. In provinces without their own carbon pricing, households under the federal system will receive more money in rebates than they pay in fuel charges, according to the parliamentary budget officer. Large industry must also pay its fair share under the federal carbon tax. The policy rewards lowcarbon innovation and, through “outputbased allocations,” ensures that producers from polluting countries don’t have an advantage over our own industries when they export carbonintensive products to Canada. As the former Ecofiscal Commission reported, “It allows Canada to put a price on carbon in vulnerable industrial sectors while other jurisdictions catch up on climate policy, and allows us to do so without undermining our economic prosperity.” Carbon pricing isn’t the only climate policy needed at this time. But it is an essential one that must be part of the mix. It’s unimaginable to conceive of a pandemic response in which the federal government doesn’t work closely with the provinces for the benefit of all people living here. The pandemic response taught us that being prepared, listening to science and acting decisively and early pays off. We must demand the same for our response to the climate crisis.

Open council seat presents an opportunity Four years ago, the city council race was a hot one. There were a total of four candidates for mayor and a whopping 24 candidates for city council. There was a near-complete replacement of council itself - with Randy Goulden being the only person to retain her council seat - and Mayor Bob Maloney held onto the chair with a mere 33 votes. It was one hotly contested race. This time around we have the ingredients for another pretty intense campaign, though COVID19 could dampen the enthusiasm of many potential candidates. With Maloney stepping down, there will be a new mayor. And, there will definitely be at least one new face on council, as councillor Aaron Kienle is taking a run at the mayor’s chair. Even if you’re completely satisfied with the work that the current council is doing, there’s incentive to get in there, because someone has to be the new person, and if you’re someone who thinks they can make a difference in the city that’s a tempting prospect. Personally, I think it’s an opportunity to have a more diverse ballot, not because there’s anything wrong with council, but because I think the work council does is important and more people in the city need to be engaged with it. Municipal politics are important, anyone who has driven down a city street or turned on their tap needs to know this, and everyone who lives in Yorkton should care about what happens here. The greater variety of candidates, the more chances to engage people on what is happening in the city. Last time around, in

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... spite of the huge list of candidates, there were a mere three women on the ballot - Goulden being the only one elected. This isn’t a slight against the 21 men who did run, but more an encouragement to the many different women in Yorkton who should consider a council run. There are a wide variety of women who are crucial to Yorkton’s success, and it would be great to have the chance to vote for some of them. I’d also encourage any First Nations people in the community to take a run at council. Yorkton is on Treaty 4 land, and the Yorkton Tribal Council is a huge and incredibly important part of the city’s success. It would be also nice to see new Canadians take a run at a council seat. There’s a growing community in Yorkton, and as they become citizens they can start to get more politically involved. They are an integral part of the community, and it would be nice to see them seriously involved in the local community. This isn’t saying that people should vote for someone for any reason beyond what they would bring to council chambers - and it’s not meant as a slight against anyone currently sitting on council itself. But with an open

PASQUA FN Continued from Page 3 Nation elders,” he said. Pasqua is using interest returns from settlement money, $145 million, which it received in 2018, to build the Elders Centre. Peigan said a four per cent interest rate on that initial sum has allowed the community to grow the pot. Interest and investment returns have grown the sum to the point where Pasqua doesn’t need to touch the original $145 million, he said. After the Elders Centre is built, the community intends to convert its current seniors living centre to a 40-bed youth centre, Peigan added. He estimated there are 72 people aged 65 and older living on the reserve.

seat, there’s now a clear opportunity to get at least one new voice on council, so there’s plenty of opportunity for someone to step up and let their voice be heard. But that’s something someone must choose to do, and I think everyone who ran last time - along with everyone who will run this time - genuinely believed they had a perspective the city needed and a voice that the city could benefit from, and I wouldn’t have discouraged any of them from their run. The intent of this column is not to say someone shouldn’t run, but instead to encourage more people to realize they also have a perspective the city needs, and a voice the city could benefit from. After all, we can only vote for someone on the ballot, so if you don’t see yourself represented by city council right now, it’s time to step up and put your name forward.

USask launches Canadian Hub for Applied and Social Research SASKATOON – A newly launched research support and consulting hub at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) offers a unique menu of research services within Canada, including gathering data on public opinion and human behaviour. On Sept. 16, USask unveiled the Canadian Hub for Applied and Social Research (CHASR), which will support clients—including academic researchers, governments, non-profit organizations and private companies—to advance research projects of all sizes. “With the launch of CHASR, we are staking our claim as the place in Canada where this kind of research and support happens,” said Jason Disano, director of CHASR. CHASR—pronounced “chaser”—evolved from the former Social Sciences Research Laboratories (SSRL) based in USask’s College of Arts and Science. Since opening in 2011, the SSRL has worked with clients across Canada and internationally, providing access to eight specialized laboratories and experts in social research methods. Last year, the SSRL supported more than 500 researchers with nearly 350 projects. As the SSRL grew, it became clear that the old name and approach no longer captured the scope and scale of what it offers, said Disano. The SSRL was remade as CHASR to convey the unit’s one-of-a-kind role on Canada’s research landscape. “The University of Saskatchewan has rapidly built a reputation as Canada’s leader in supporting social and applied research. CHASR’s new name and new nationwide focus reflect its position as a true national hub for

(Credit: University of Saskatchewan) research support services,” said Peta BonhamSmith, dean of the College of Arts and Science. CHASR supports research projects at all stages. It offers research support and consultation at the design phase; data collection through tools including surveys and focus groups; analysis and processing of data; presentation of results through formats such as written reports and visual maps; and customized training services. “Other academic institutions in Canada and the U.S. have some of these pieces, but no one else has pulled them all together. By having all of these complementary services under one roof, we can support bigger, more complex, more sophisticated research projects,” said Disano. With the launch of CHASR, Disano said the facility hopes to better serve clients outside of traditional social science fields. “We’ve seen increasing demand for our services from areas like engineering and the health sciences. There is growing recognition that social research, which examines and explores human behaviours and

patterns, is valuable in supporting research in any discipline.” CHASR, under its former name the SSRL, is widely known in Saskatchewan for its long-running media partnerships. Through the Taking the Pulse initiative with Postmedia News and a similar agreement with CBC Saskatchewan, the hub regularly conducts telephone surveys of Saskatchewan residents on hot-button issues such as gun control, abortion and labour unions. CHASR’s media partners publish the survey results in articles that often feature commentary and analysis by experts from USask faculty. “Media have told us they crave reliable, robust data from trusted sources like the University of Saskatchewan, and we’ve been happy to serve that need,” said Disano. CHASR’s work is conducted by eight staff research specialists and hundreds of student workers. The hub is the largest employer of students at USask.

DRILLING RIG Continued from Page 5 five years, unmoving, as the oil downturn that took hold in late 2014 dramatically curtailed drilling demand. Five were cut up and hauled away from the Carlyle yard. Another was cut up in place northwest of Stoughton, three more at Carnduff, and the final one in Waskada, Manitoba. Some of those were not originally Eagle or Totem rigs, but rather former Trinidad Drilling and Ensign rigs, as reflected by the paint schemes in the piles of chopped up scrap. The first Eagle rigs were built in 2005, the eighth was completed in 2010, and the rigs that were cut up havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t moved since 2015. That means that some of those rigs had just 5 to 10 years usage. In December, 2018, Ensign Energy delisted 17 rigs from the Canadian

Sept. 15, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even go watch it. It broke my heart so badly because I built those rigs that I thought that they were going to be 40-year rigs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even go look at the pile of scrap or nothing. Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying to me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cutting your rigs up over there, you know that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I heard about it, but it is what it is,â&#x20AC;? he said. Eagle Drilling fired up in 2005, and by the time it sold to CanElson Drilling in 2010, there were eight brightly painted rigs. The office was adorned with aerial photos of several of them working in close proximity to each other during the height of the Bakken boom. Asked what a life expectancy of a drilling rig would typically be, Big Eagle pointed to old Simmons rigs that were â&#x20AC;&#x153;as old as the hillsâ&#x20AC;? before they were finally retired and cut up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were older than I am,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and they were definitely not built to the quality that the Eagle rigs were built on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put thicker walls on mine, thicker flooring, better quality metal, to make sure that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d last. I wanted my goal to be that my grandkidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kids would be able to look out in the field and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of Grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rigs.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted them to last a long time, so we put a lot of extra effort into it.â&#x20AC;? Ensign Energy did not respond to a request for comment. Regarding what Ensignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible motivation might be, Big

Eagle said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market share, and eliminating opportunities for anybody else to get into the market.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody is going to get any money to build a $9 or $10 million drilling rig right now. Nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to fund that. So everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be looking for the used stuff. And if the used stuff is all gone, then that means that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no more competitors for them.â&#x20AC;? With little used inventory available, it forces competitors to go to new equipment, nearly all of which will require raising significant funds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to give them any money,â&#x20AC;? Big Eagle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, from a market share perspective of looking at Ensign and Precision, that was a right move. They eliminated the opportunity from any competitors. So in the long run, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth it for them.â&#x20AC;? For Dennis Day, president of Fast Trucking Service, a Carnduff-based rig moving company, each rig cut up means a customer lost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough,â&#x20AC;? he said on Sept. 14, when asked about that. Fast Trucking, in an effort to clean up its own yard, hauled out 1,039,000 pounds of scrap in July, alone, in addition to the work Ensign did in their yard. More scrapping has been done since. The iron Fast Trucking cut up was largely much older than what Ensign was cutting up. But Fast did actually buy six older jackknife rigs that Continued on Page 7

Parkland College gets skills money The Government of Saskatchewan has announced annual funding of $24.2 million to the eight regional colleges in the province for skills training programs. The funding allows the Colleges to deliver a variety of education and skills training programs including Adult Basic Education (ABE), both off and on-reserve, Essential Skills for the Workplace (ESWP), as well as the Skills Training Allocation. ABE and ESWP programs provide adult learners with basic employment skills and workplace experience that leads to either further training or attachment to the labour market. The Skills Training Allocation provides access to accredited training programs that meet the labour market needs of employers across various sectors of the provincial economy. Funding is also provided to support the delivery of language training programs. “The Government of Saskatchewan has been working with our industries to deliver real training opportunities that make sense for our labour market and those careers in demand,” Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “We want to see more

people actively engaged in the workforce, which benefits individuals, families, and communities right across our province. The programs our regional colleges will deliver with this funding, from basic skills programs to language training, will support individuals as they pursue further education and move into employment opportunities in Saskatchewan.” Parkland College is among area colleges receiving funds. It will receive $2.8 million. “This is wonderful news for Parkland College, given the operational pressures resulting from the pandemic and the fiscal pressures on the Government of Saskatchewan,” Parkland College President and CEO Mark Hoddenbagh said. “We thank the government for this funding which supports our adult learners as they further their education and enhance their employability skills.” Cumberland College will receive $2.4 million “Cumberland College is very grateful to the Government of Saskatchewan for providing this level of funding in a challenging fiscal environment,” said Hoddenbagh, also Cumberland College President and CEO.

“Dealing with the pandemic has had a large impact on our operations and this annual funding is enabling us to maintain continuity in our programming for adult learners who are seeking to attain Grade 12 equivalency and further develop their employability skills.” Carlton Trail College will receive $1.9 million. “Ongoing training and education is critical in today’s market to increase one’s employability and skills,” Carlton Trail College President and CEO Shelley RomanyszynCross said. “This funding will help Carlton Trail College continue its commitment to reskill and upskill future workers to meet Saskatchewan’s evolving labour market demands.” Southeast College will receive $2.7 million. “We are very pleased with the funding announcement that allows Southeast College to continue offering these vital programs to our students,” Southeast College President and CEO Patrick Stoddart said. “Continued funding such as this allows for us to prepare and carry out multiyear plans that benefit both students and labour markets in southeast Saskatchewan.” — Submitted

DRILLING RIG Continued from Page 6 Precision Drilling was going to chop up. “Some of them will get cut up. Some I’ll keep. And will I ever sell them? I hope so, but probably not,” Day said. “It’s just a gamble, right?” Asked for comment, the Ministry of Energy and Resources emailed the following statement on Sept. 15: “Drilling rigs are depreciating capital assets with finite life spans. As drilling rigs age, technology and modernization may make rigs obsolete or render normal repairs and upkeep too costly to remain operate. A decision is then made on whether to upgrade/ retire/store/sell the drilling unit. Normally, rigs that are current and are still capable of operating are not retired or scrapped. “Unfortunately, in the current oil market environment, decisions to retire a drilling rig instead of spending the capital to upgrade, repair, or store the rig are made. “The Government of

Saskatchewan is optimistic that rebounding oil prices and demand will be key drivers in growing production and spurring investment in new drilling. The province is actively engaging

with industry stakeholders on scoping potential new initiatives to help accelerate new investment and grow employment in the oil and gas sector as the industry continues to recover.”

15U AAA East Central Mils take title It was a great final weekend for the 15U AAA East Central Mils baseball teams. The Mils, a team made up of players from a number of area communities, faced the 15U AAA Moose Jaw Canucks in one Semi-Final Saturday in Balcarres. The Mils came out on top with a score of 8-4. The other Semi-Final was played in Regina with the 15U AAA Regina White Sox playing the 15U AAA Regina Buffalos. The White Sox took that game with a score of 5-3. The final saw The Mils versus the White Sox on Sunday again in Balcarres. Ty Ulmer pitched a fantastic game into the seventh inning but had to be relieved because of pitch count rules. Jeff Stewart got the

Mils on the board with a home run in bottom of second. This was followed by another run off Nathan Houston’s sac fly in third. It was a great game with the Mils leading 2-0 until the top of sixth when the White Sox scored one. The White Sox managed to score another run in top of seventh to tie the game. The Mils weren’t able to answer back in bottom of seventh so the game went into an extra inning. In extra innings the Mils managed to string together a couple of walks and a base hit to load the bases in the bottom of the eighth when a passed ball allowed the winning run to score. It was an exciting finish to a very successful season for the boys. — Submitted

Clean Fuel Standard a second carbon tax, says Saskatchewan’s Minister of Energy and Resources By Brian Zinchuk Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Estevan Mercury Saskatoon – In its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 million tonnes per year, the federal government is working developing a new “Clean Fuel Standard,” and that is ringing alarm bells for the Saskatchewan gov-

ernment, as expressed by Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre. The term “clean fuel” is not about reducing particulates or emissions of nitrous oxides, forms of air pollution. Rather, it’s all about reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide, which the federal Liberal government has repeatedly referred to as “pollution.”

The Clean Fuel Standard includes “carbon intensity reduction requirements for liquid fuels” which would start in 2022, as well as similar reductions for solid and gaseous fuels in 2023. The plan will “will require those who produce and import liquid fossil fuels in Canada to reduce the carbon intensity of the liquid fossil fuels they produce and import annually.” Fossil fuels like gasoline, diesel, kerosene, light and heavy fuel

oils are included, but “non-fossil fuels will not have a carbon intensity reduction requirement,” according to the Clean Fuel Standard: Proposed Regulatory Approach on the federal Environment and Climate Change website. “Low-carbon fuels” may include, but are not limited to ethanol, renewable diesel, biodiesel, hydro-treated vegetable oil, low-carbon-intensity jet fuel, synthetic fuels and renewable methanol. On Sept. 9. Eyre wrote

to Minister of Natural Resources Seamus O’Regan, saying the clean fuel standard, in its current form, “would amount to a second Carbon Tax that would cripple the economic growth and future competitiveness of vital Canadian sectors at the worst possible time. As currently envisioned, its implementation would also outpace the Canadian renewable fuel sector’s ability to establish necessary infrastructure, which would result in significant foreign

imports of renewable fuel products from the United States, in particular, and a disproportionate reliance on non-Canadian workers. “As a result, I am asking that further policy advancement of the CFS regulations be placed on formal pause,” she wrote. Eyre spoke about the matter by phone on Sept. 18 from Saskatoon. She said, “This is going to be an economic crippler. And it is a second carbon tax, it will be applied on Continued on Page 10

ISN’T JUST

A fair bit of Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre’s time in recent years has been spent taking on the federal government in its energy policies. This photo was taken May 7, 2019, when she spoke before a Senate committee about Bill C-48, what critics called the “no more pipelines bill.” Now she’s taking on the new “Clean Fuel Standard,” which Eyre calls a “second carbon tax.”

Continued from Page 8 top of the carbon tax on the same emissions. And there’s a massive price tag to this thing. It’s estimated it’ll cost Canadians about 15 to $20 billion a year in higher household gas bills, higher prices at the pump, and about 15 per cent higher fuel costs for industry, which of course includes the energy and resources sector.” She noted the name, “clean fuel standard,” is part of the battle, “because who could be against ‘clean fuel?’” “It has a nice sounding name, but it has a huge economic crippling impact if this goes through,” Eyre said. She noted the federal government is looking for the “breaking point, in other word, a way to force people off fossil fuels, so to break their dependence.” Eyre said that it would be possible to buy credits, but at the high price of $350 per tonne, it’s really about forcing people off fuel. Of particular concern are how the Clean Fuel Standard would hurt the oil and gas as well as the mining industries, she noted in her letter. For the oil and gas sector, it would impact the usage of natural gas to create steam for thermal projects used in heavy oil and the oilsands, in addition to the fuel used in drilling, which “is almost at a standstill.” And as a form of regulation, not legislation, it would not have to pass Parliament, not undergoing Parliament’s scrutiny, according to Eyre. She pointed out the renewable fuel sector is “nowhere even close” to being able to create enough fuel to replace fossil fuels. “So we would end up importing massively from the U.S., in particular, if this goes through. We would be helping U.S. workers and we’d be hurting our own, just a terrible thing across the board,” she said. Eyre is concerned that the Clean Fuel Standard will feature largely in the upcoming federal Throne speech and be promulgated through the Canada Gazette. Once that happens, its very difficult to make changes. “There’s very little we can do except speak out and raise awareness and get the word out,” she concluded.

Book chronicles Fedorukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Few women in Saskatchewan led more notable lives than Sylvia Fedoruk. Fedoruk, who was born in Canora in 1927, and grew up at Wroxton, while her family roots are in the Rhein/Hamton/ Donwell area, was a pioneer in leading-edge cancer research, primarily in the field of nuclear medicine. She was the first woman to join the Atomic Energy Board of Canada. Fedoruk was also an outstanding athlete, competing at an elite level in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softball and curling. Elected as the first woman chancellor of the University of Saskatchewan in 1986, she went on to be the

first woman to serve as Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, being appointed in 1988 and serving until 1994. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sort of life books are written about. That is exactly what Saskatchewan author Merle Massie has done with the release of her book; A Radiant Life The Honourable Sylvia Fedoruk Scientist, Sports Icon, and Stateswoman. Massie, who is from Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lakeland region north of Prince Albert; growing up on a farm near Paddockwood, said the idea of writing the book came about because of a connection to another name familiar to Yorkton and area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came to this book by way of friendship: Dr. Stuart Houston thought it would be a fantastic and

Massie knew Houston well. Her first book, 36 Steps on the Road to Medicare, was co-authored with Dr. Stuart Houston who is from the Yorkton region. Once Massie began looking into Fedorukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rather diverse career it was obvious it was the stuff books are written about. Why did she think the book was worth writing? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sylvia Fedoruk is one of the most iconic, recognizable and fascinating people to rise up from Saskatchewan,â&#x20AC;? said Massie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She would have been worth a book for even one of her three storied life directions: science, sports, or statesmanship.

acter in a novel, or part of lore,â&#x20AC;? since her life â&#x20AC;&#x153;couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly be true of one person.â&#x20AC;? Yet it was. And, there was access to a treasure trove of material from which to glean a book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Sylvia Fedoruk died, her files â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which included hundreds of pages of important documents in Saskatchewan history, including her personal notes on the 1991 Grant Devine proroguing and special warrants crisis, Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cobalt-60 and betatron history, Saskatchewan curling and baseball history, and extensive notes and mementos from her time as one of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular Lieutenant Governors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were gifted to Archives and Special Collections unit of the University of Saskatchewan,â&#x20AC;? said Massie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was the first historian to fully access and use those files, which was both daunting and amazing.â&#x20AC;? The daunting part meant literally working on the book for years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project has been going off the side of my desk for more than five years,â&#x20AC;? said Massie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parts of it were easy, such as documenting her science and sports career, though I appreciate the help and support I was given to make sure that my historian brain could understand and explain the science properly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of Sylviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduate students, Trevor Cradduck, gifted hours to the manuscript to sift it for the worst of the errors.â&#x20AC;? It helped Massie had financial support on her quest to write the book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was awarded a Saskatchewan Arts Board grant in the fall of 2018, which gifted me with the time needed to pull the whole project into a viable manuscript,â&#x20AC;? she said. The time meant hours of research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The University of Saskatchewan Archives and Special Collections unit, particularly Patrick Hayes and Cheryl Avery, were integral to my ability to sift through the massive pile of files and other items in the Sylvia Fedoruk collection,â&#x20AC;? explained Massie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would visit the archives at the university, take extensive notes while going through her wellorganized files, and then I used those notes and photographs to build this biography.â&#x20AC;? But there were bumps along the writing road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got stuck and stopped the research for about a year, while I wrestled with my moral compass â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of the chapters of the book delves into the story of the University of Saskatchewan graduate student whose art installation and subse-

quent artistic work challenged Saskatchewan homophobia and provincial elite (the university, the provincial government, and the media) through his work, which attempted to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sylvia Fedoruk as a gay woman,â&#x20AC;? related Massie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a critical story in understanding just how much Sylvia Fedoruk meant to Saskatchewan people, and ultimately, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I chose to include it.â&#x20AC;? Massie said that was ultimately one of the two greatest challenges she faced in writing the biography. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two things: one, the ethics of whether or not to include the story of the outing controversy and all its permutations -- which were extensive and cascaded across Saskatchewan and Canadian media, the provincial government; including the floor of the Legislature and recorded in the Hansard, and the University of Saskatchewan, which expelled the student in a 2-1 decision, but their original decision to censor and remove the artistic installation was reprimanded by the Saskatchewan Human Rights commission,â&#x20AC;? related Massie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end, I chose to include it but I wrestled with that decision for about a year, trying to see my way through.â&#x20AC;? The second challenge was the sheer enormity of the task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was absolutely impossible to cover all aspects of Sylviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, and a huge chunk of the manuscript was cut from the final book, just to make it more manageable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still very large,â&#x20AC;? said Massie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those who knew Sylvia well, or those who are looking for a listing of all her many accolades and accomplishments will find things missing. I chose to focus on Sylvia the person, as much as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153; So what does Massie as a seasoned author see

as the best aspect of the book? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hmm. Great question,â&#x20AC;? offered Massie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the best aspect is that there is something in it for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you love sports? Perfect â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots here to enjoy, from summer ball to winter curling, university sports to the story of a woman who joined the USask hockey team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as goalie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really skate! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you like to read about medical science, and are you proud of Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in cancer research and therapy? Excellent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find much to learn, and much to swell our pride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you really like politics and political scandals and backstories? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of that, too, and many of those stories have never been told before, and are based on brand new archival evidence and oral stories.â&#x20AC;? It is a book Massie is satisfied she has created. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely! And, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been really gratified by the massive support for the book from some of Sylviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closest colleagues and friends,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One called to tell me that I â&#x20AC;&#x153;captured the essence of Sylviaâ&#x20AC;?, and her perspective is, to me, the finest accolade I could ever achieve.â&#x20AC;? Massie said she believes there will be a broad audience for the book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just one audience for this book â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multiple audiences: sports fans, political history buffs, those who like medical history, the artistic and LGTBQ communities, and anyone who remembers Sylvia Fedoruk when she was working as one of our provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beloved Lieutenant Governors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plus anyone in the Yorkton region who identifies Sylvia Fedoruk as one of the most successful progenies of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ukrainian heritage,â&#x20AC;? she said.

New driving course for women Last week, the Government Saskatchewan announced Women Shifting Gears, a new pilot program for women who want training to become transport drivers. The program is a partnership between the Saskatoon YWCA, the Saskatchewan Trucking Association (STA) and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Immigration and Career Training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transport truck drivers are an indemand occupation in Saskatchewan, and an added bonus to this program is that it will help

diversify our labour force,â&#x20AC;? Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exciting new project that will bring opportunities in a nontraditional occupation to benefit individuals, the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thriving trucking industry and communities.â&#x20AC;? Ten women will go into the program which will operate in three phases. Phase one is nine weeks of pre-employment training at the Saskatoon YWCA. In the second phase, participants will be matched up to an employer by the STA for

Transport truck drivers are an in-demand occupation in Saskatchewan, and an added bonus to this program is that it will help diversify our labour force. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Immigration and Career Training Minister, Jeremy Harrison a three-week work placement. It is expected that following phase two, drivers will receive either a work offer or a conditional offer which will lead to phase three. In

phase three, the trainees will receive 1A Driver Training through the Mandatory Entry Level Training program for Level 1A Drivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The YWCA

Saskatoon has a long history of removing barriers for women and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so pleased to be working with the Government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Trucking Association to offer women more opportunity in the workplace,â&#x20AC;? Saskatoon YWCA CEO Cara Bahr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that a strong economy is dependent on innovation and partnership, this a great example of both.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to form a strong working partnership with the Government of

Saskatchewan and the YWCA of Saskatoon,â&#x20AC;? STA Executive Director Susan Ewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We firmly believe that Women Shifting Gears will be a beneficial program for our industry and will help develop and train safety-minded women looking to start a meaningful career as a professional driver.â&#x20AC;? The cost to the province will include $60,000 for pre-employment training from the Workforce Development budget and up to $100,000 from the Canada Saskatchewan Job Grant for 1A Truck Driver Training.

Communities submit your ICIP project proposals COVID-19 and Green Landfill Decommissioning Infrastructure Streams Open Saskatchewan municipalities and other eligible organizations can begin submitting detailed applications for projects under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP), which will help protect the environment, stimulate the economy and strengthen communities in light of the pandemic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage eligible applicants to submit their proposed projects as soon as possible so shovels can be put in the ground, infrastructure initiatives can move forward, jobs can be created, and our

province can continue to grow as strong as the resilient people who call this great place home,â&#x20AC;? Government Relations Minister Lori Carr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eligible project proposals from earlier intakes can also be resubmitted for reconsideration.â&#x20AC;? COVID-19 Resilience Stream A new one-time COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream (CVRIS) will accept project applications until the close of the business day on Friday, October 30, 2020. Proposed projects must start no later than September 30, 2021. Projects must be com-

pleted by the end of 2021 or 2022, depending on the size and location of the community where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occurring. Projects must have a minimum total eligible cost of $100,000 to a maximum of $10 million. CVRISâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four funding categories are: â&#x20AC;˘ Retrofits, repairs and upgrades for various types of buildings. â&#x20AC;˘ COVID-19 response infrastructure, including measures to support physical distancing. â&#x20AC;˘ Active transportation infrastructure, including parks, trails, foot bridges, bike lanes and multi-use paths.

â&#x20AC;˘ Disaster mitigation and climate adaptation infrastructure. Green Infrastructure Stream Landfill Decommissioning Projects The Green Infrastructure Stream will accept project applications to decommission landfills. This aligns with the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Solid Waste Management Strategy. Proper decommissioning is the final step in the life cycle of a landfill and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a critical one to ensure that the surrounding environment remains protected. Project applications will be accepted until

funding for this specific initiative is fully allocated. Projects must be completed by March 31, 2027. Unsuccessful applicants from earlier intakes are encouraged to resubmit projects, if eligible, for consideration under this intake. Eligible recipients which can begin applying online today for this intake under both of these streams include: municipalities; First Nations and MĂŠtis communities and related governing bodies; public sector bodies; notfor-profit organizations; and for-profit organiza-

tions, providing they are working with Indigenous entities and/or municipalities. The full eligibility requirements for these ICIP streams and the online application process are available at www.saskatchewan.ca/ ICIP. These applications will be managed by the Ministry of Government Relations. Under ICIP, the Government of Saskatchewan secured more than $896 million in federal funding over 10 years to support all types of eligible infrastructure projects in the province.

YRHS to receive $19 million overhaul If the school building is the body, and students and staff are its heart, the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are its lungs. The Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) is getting a lung transplant. The Government of S a s k a t c h e w a n announced that the school is getting a $19 million renovation, with the majority of the upgrades going towards a HVAC overhaul. Education Minister Gord Wyant said that the project has been advocated for locally for a while, both from the Good Spirit School Division and Yorkton MLA Gord Wyant. The need for substantial upgrades to YRHS was first identified in 2010, after floods in the area revealed problems with the existing setup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a renovation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to enhance the quality and safety aspects of the school. It was their number one capital project, so when we were looking at how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to invest in

capital projects, the additional two billion dollars that we put into our capital program over the next number of years, this was the project that came to the top of the list.â&#x20AC;? The project is currently in the planning phase, and the hope is that the work will begin in the spring and continue through summer said Quintin Robertson, Director of Education. Beyond the HVAC improvements, the school will also receive fire suppression upgrades, exterior upgrade and roof replacement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bones of the building are very strong, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exceptional in fact, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at HVAC, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at the lungs of the building, looking at some of the systems involved with the building. There will be some cosmetic upgrades, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly some of the underbelly of your traditional high school, some of the things that the typical person wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see but keep the building safe and keep the occupants safe,â&#x20AC;? explained Robertson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This work needed to be done to make sure that the school is going to

be safe, not just for students but for staff for many years,â&#x20AC;? Wyant said. The goal of the renovations is to keep YRHS as an institution for the

city for another fifty years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple of years back celebrating the 50th anniversary of the school, I was really moved by the

number of people who came and the depth of love they have for this buildingâ&#x20AC;Ś I have two of my own children that are currently in that build-

ing, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enormously important for our school division, for the Parkland region and I think the province as well,â&#x20AC;? said Robertson.

Sask Chamber releases policy wish list for upcoming election By Brian Zinchuk Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Estevan Mercury Regina – The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce (SCC) on Sept. 21 released its “election policy pillars.” In a press release, the Chamber said “The pillars align with following goals: to inform Chamber members of key issues of business for this election, to put business priorities in front of political parties, and to raise the profile of these issues in the public.” “Members of the Saskatchewan business community are facing critical issues that need to be recognized and addressed by our government and the public. We’re determined to get these issues and recommendations in front of our elected officials to

influence change for the business community at a time when it’s desperately needed,” said Steve McLellan, CEO of the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce, in a release. The SCC Policy Pillars for the 2020 provincial election are centered around the theme of enabling business recovery and resilience as a response to the COVID19 pandemic and the ensuing economic slowdown, the Chamber said. In addition to viewing policy through the lens of business recovery and resilience, the policy recommendations are also informed by key themes outlined in the current SCC Strategic Plan, along with specific actions identified in the Province’s Saskatchewan Growth Plan 2030. The policy recommendations are grouped under the

Steve McLellan following pillars: On economic recovery, it said in the short term, statutory general corporate income tax rates should be reduced from 12 per cent to eight per cent, and the provincial sales tax should be recoverable for businesses. In the long term, a comprehensive review of the provincial tax system, including resource royal-

ties, fees and surcharges, should be undertaken. Public-private partnerships should be used to improve the province’s broadband cellphone and internet infrastructure. For financial literacy, the Chamber recommends that Grade 11 and 12 students be required to take financial literacy classes. Similar curriculum should be developed for Grades 7 to 10, and teachers should have adequate training. Distance learning should be used where teaching capacity is limited. When it comes to energy efficiency and the low carbon economy, the Chamber said money from the province’s technology fund should be used to promote energy efficiency, especially in government-owned buildings. The province should increase uptake of

wind, solar, geothermal and biomass power generation where appropriate, and should encourage development of small modular nuclear reactors. On labour markets, the Chamber said essential skills and experiential learning is important. The province should “proactively engage with underrepresented segments of the workforce, such as women, immigrants and Indigenous people.” Science, technology and mathematics should be emphasized in K-12 education. Postsecondary institutions and private industry should collaborate on the development of the curriculum. Aldo, the province should “Create a framework for modular, stackable micro credentials to help workers better showcase their often-hidden job-specific, marketable skills to employers, as well as offer increased opportunities for remote learning.” For its trade diversification and supply chain resilience pillar, the Chamber recommends working “in collaboration with the federal government to pursue trade diversification as an overarching economic policy objective by allocating more resources to diversifying away from volatile markets like the U.S. and China and toward emerging, highgrowth economies.” The Chamber said Saskatchewan should continue its ongoing internal exercise around assessing the province’s supply chainrelated risks in the postpandemic era, given Saskatchewan’s relatively high level of exposure to international trade and events beyond our borders. It should

“hedge against future international traderelated risks by working with the federal government to reduce and/or remove internal trade barriers by establishing equivalencies or mutual recognition of standards for certifications, inspections, regulations, etc. across sectors in the interim with the goal of achieving harmonization over the long term.” When it comes to government procurement, the Chamber said prioritize Saskatchewanbased vendors going forward (subject to interprovincial and international trade agreements). Multiyear capital plans would allow vendors to plan and build capacity. Government should adopt minimum safety standards like Certificate of Recognition (COR) and Small Employer Certificate of Recognition (SECOR) as a required standard for any vendor working on a provincial government contract. Longterm decision making and allocation of funds around major capital projects should be done with a “data driven approach.” Finally, on Indigenous involvement, the Chamber recommends the development and release of a “whole-ofgovernment Indigenous engagement strategy.” Through SaskBuilds and Crown Investment Corporation, the province should incorporate Indigenous procurement guidelines into a larger procurement strategy going forward, and create incentives for nonIndigenous vendors to partner or sub-contract with Indigenous vendors when bidding on work.

(NC) Experts recommend teaching children about money early on, so they can develop good habits and financial literacy. Here are some important lessons to teach your kids that will last a lifetime: Learn to shop online securely. Depending on their age, your child may already be doing some shopping online, even if it’s just buying a new character or setting in an app or video game. Educate them on the importance of using a secure connection – like their home Wi-Fi or cellphone data – as well as setting strong passwords and checking with a trusted adult to make sure it’s safe. Safeguard personal information. Bank accounts and credit cards are vulnerable to hacking and identity theft, especially in our

online world. Every year, thousands of Canadians lose millions of dollars to fraudsters. Teach your children to never provide their personal or financial information over the phone, via text message, email or the internet when someone asks for it unsolicited. Have your guard up. Part of understanding the value of money is being able to spot a great deal. But deep discounts and too-good-to-be-true sales often aren’t a real bargain. Super low prices usually mean cheap or counterfeit products. Free offers may require that you provide your credit card for shipping fees. Small tactics like these can lead to big profits for scammers, so it pays to be wary and trust your instincts. Find more information at www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/fraud
