Multicultural weekend showcases diversity By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Festival of Cultures and the Immigrant of Distinction Awards both celebrated diversity in the city over the weekend. The weekend was all about getting to know your neighbors, and Edith Montesclaros of the Newcomer Welcome Center says that the weekend has met its goal of bringing people together to celebrate their cultures. Whether it’s people are finding about different cultures, trying new foods or even just planning a vacation destination, Montesclaros says that she’s always glad to see crowds come out to enjoy the event and take part in the Festival of Cultures. “People really would like to have the global experience, travelling without leaving Yorkton.” The event is constantly changing, even with the groups that come out every year, and that’s one of the appeals. The event is also a chance for newcomers to get engaged in their communities, and Montesclaros says she has seen people who otherwise are quiet proudly stand up to talk about their cultures. She says that the chance to open up has had a positive effect on many of the attendees. “Newcomers are shy, and I think this is a
venue for them to talk to people freely without being shy to talk about their culture.” She says that they want to see the event grow. The Immigrant of Distinction Awards has been a project Montesclaros has wanted to see happen for a while, as she says that there are many new members of the community who are making a major contribution to the community and aren’t getting recognized. She claims that it is the first awards of its kind in the province. “I thought that we should appreciate them, because they are helping not just the economy, but the diversity and multiculturalism in the community... They’re here to stay and make the community more diverse.” The hope is to see more communities do a similar event to celebrate their own newcomers to their communities, and she says that she’s proud that Yorkton is leading the province with the event. Representing the winners of the Immigrant Group of the Year, Sherjan Maybantang and Bernard Arenas with the SaskatchewanMelville and Area Happenings and Gathering (SaMAHanG) FiliCan, say that it is an honor to receive the award, and one they didn’t expect to win. Maybantang says they didn’t initially intend to

He says it is still a small group, and he’s proud to be recognized for their contributions to the community. “They believe in us,” adds Arenas. The goal with the group is to be a part of
the community and work with others as part of the community as a whole, Maybantang explains. “The most important thing to recognize in our group is who we are in our multi-cultural community, how we can learn about other cultures and how they can
learn about us.” The winners at the event were: Youth Scholarship Award – Amitada “J.J.” Chogata Arts and Culture – Parkland Filipino Canadian Association Inc. Business Award – Mauricio Gomez Distinguished Service
Award – Vivian Quan Volunteer Award – Oksana Burback Organizational Diversity Award – McDonalds Restaurant Immigrant Group of the Year Award – SaMAHanG FiliCan. Immigrant of the Year Award – Jobert del Rosario.
New bus for Yorkton’s long term care residents By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer It’s an early Christmas for residents of the Yorkton Nursing Home and clients of the Day Wellness program. The gift is a bus, which will be used to transport residents and clients throughout the city and beyond. The $97,000 bus was purchased by the Health Foundation. The bus comes after the nursing home’s old bus reached then end of its
service life a year ago, leaving residents without a vehicle to get around in. Suzanne Beck, Director of Therapeutic Recreation and Day Wellness, says that the bus means life is full of possibilities now, and the purchase of the bus opens up the community for residents and clients. “When we didn’t have the bus, the residents were housebound, they had very little access to the community... For us,
it’s about getting residents back in the community and back enjoying the things they like to do.” Accessibility for those with disabilities was the priority for the bus, and the wheelchair positions are all window seats. Beck also says that one of the top priorities was a heater to keep residents warm as people in wheelchairs are loaded into the vehicle. Continued on Page 2A
A NEW BUS means that residents of the Yorkton Nursing Home as well as Day Wellness Program clients will now have greater mobility in the city. The bus is pictured with some of the people who made its purchase possible.

New bus arrives Continued from Page 1 One of the people who will be using the bus in the near future is Leslie J. McCandless, who is a client in the Day Wellness program. She describes the new bus is “just awesome,” because it means that clients in the program can now go to more outings, and they can all go together in the same vehicle. “The fact that it’s brand new, and it’s ours, is just amazing,” McCandless adds. Mobility is a challenge for a lot of her fellow Day Wellness Clients, McCandless says, and it
makes it difficult for them to get out in the community and enjoy even simple things like looking at gardens in the spring. The bus means mobility for not only herself, but all of the other clients in the program, as well as residents in the nursing home. The bus was purchased with contributions from the Yorkton Lions, Yorkton Elks Lodge, Kinsmen Telemiracle and Loucks Pharmacy. “I want to say thanks to everyone who helped us raise this money, I’m so pleased that it happened so quickly,” McCandless says.

Exploring welding at Career Explorations By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
CAREER EXPLORATIONS 2014 featured a wide spectrum of opportunities for the young people of the region. Pictured above, the CWA brought out their welding simulator, part of an effort to encourage young people to pick up the trade.
As students reach the end of their high school career, they need to look at what their next steps are, and start making moves towards their future. Career Explorations 2014 brought area high school students to the Gallagher Centre to show some of the opportunities that are out there in postsecondary education. The Canadian Welding Association (CWA) was at the show with a welding simulator, to encourage students to consider a career in welding for their future. The booth attracted large crowds of students who tried their hand at virtually welding. Ken McKen with the CWA says that the simulator is something that sparks curiosity in students, but it’s also the best way to begin teaching, because it’s as close to welding as you can get without actually welding. The simulator is the
first step in learning how to weld, with the goal of getting people basic skills before they’re introduced to a real world environment. “It’s safe, we can take it into a classroom, we can take it into a library, we can take it anywhere. There are no sparks, no heat, and yet it does teach the aspects of welding and the muscle memory that’s required.” The simulator itself is also a fun way to raise a serious point, McKen says, that being there is going to be a need for more welders in the very near future, and those kids taking their first crack at the simulator are the people the industry needs. “More people are realizing the importance of trades. If you look in the facility here, pretty
much everything we see has been welded, whether it’s the equipment in front of us, the building itself, the chairs we sit on... Welding is a huge profession that has been underlooked for many years.” There’s a shortage of trades right now, McKen says, and it’s becoming more acute as the older generations begin to retire. That shortage in the trades in general, and welding in particular, means that there needs to be a renewed focus on getting students to consider entering the trades as a career. “It’s not just about welding either, here are so many opportunities after that, whether it’s engineering, welding inspectors, welding examiners, draftspeople, you could own your own business or own your
own rig. There are so many facets of welding from construction to repair work to shipbuilding... All kind of facets of welding to get into.” While a male dominated trade at the moment, McKen also says that it’s a trade anyone can pick up and many of the highest scores on the simulator of the day were from young women. He says that the career is something that has opportunities for anyone, and they hope that they reached out to a wide spectrum of potential welders. “All facets of people can pick up welding. There are a lot of artistic abilities in welding and that’s another thing I’m really pushing, if you’ve got any artistic abilities at all you could make out to be a good welder.”
Rollover claims life
On November 16, 2014 at 7:43 am Kamsack RCMP responded to a report of a single vehicle rollover on Highway 8, through the Keeseekoose First Nation. Upon arriv-

Speak out against bullying
November 16-21 is recognized as Bullying Awareness Week across the country. This year’s theme is “Stand Up!” and encourages youth to speak out against bullying. “Each and every student deserves to feel safe and accepted in their school communities,” Education Minister Don Morgan said. “We will continue working with our partners, communities, educators and most importantly, our students, to ensure that we address the issue of bullying and provide the supports and resources that students need.” Through a partnership with SaskTel and
the “I Am Stronger” website, the ministry is also providing students, educators and families with access to anti-bullying resources, an anonymous online reporting tool and the opportunity to be engaged in building a caring and respectful online community. When students participate in this online community through the website, they become eligible to apply for grants to support their local anti-bullying efforts.

male was transported by EMS to hospital in Regina with serious injuries. At the time of the crash, that section of Highway 8 was and remains closed for road maintenance and a detour was set up to bypass a large amount of excavated earth on the highway. It appears that the proper detour and road closure signage was intact at the time of the crash. The investigation is ongoing with the assistance of the F Division Collision Reconstruction Unit and it is believed that alcohol was a factor in the crash. At this time, the names of the two occupants will not be released.

Lean process can control costs By now you’ve probably heard about some big bills paid by the Wall government on “lean” health care consultants. Critics have taken some of the more questionable bills associated with the spending and suggested the project is a colossal waste of money. But how does the big picture look? Well, internal government documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation suggest things actually look pretty good so far. Before discussing what the documents revealed, it should be noted that the Wall government is doing the right thing by looking at ambitious ways to reform the health care system. The bottom line is that unless the health care system undergoes serious reform, it will collapse in the long run as our population ages. A report by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries in late 2013 predicted that unless there is significant health reform, health care spending will grow to represent “103 percent” of total provincial revenues by 2037. In other words, “yikes.” Those complaining about the government’s lean consultants should know that “lean” process reform is not something dreamed up by the Wall government, it’s taught in management schools around the world. In fact, even Manitoba’s NDP government is busy implementing lean practices in health care. The internal documents we obtained suggest things are actually heading in the right direction. As of February 2014, $26 million had been spent on lean consultants while $40 million had been saved due to their advice, assistance and workshops. Further, lean process changes have not only reduced costs, they’ve improved service levels in many areas for patients. Using new technology and redesigning workplaces have led to many of these improvements. In one example, the analysis noted that “moving the location of patient chart and supplies closer to the patient room” led to a reduction in nurses’ walking distance from 300 to 132 feet. This resulted in “less time searching for supplies and increased opportunity for direct patient care.” Similarly, the Saskatchewan Disease Control Laboratory was able to “cut turnaround time for test results by 26 hours; a 68% reduction (from approximately 40 hours to 12 hours)” by redesigning their processes. This led to patients waiting shorter periods of time to hear lab results. The documents also note that prior to a workshop involving Saskatoon Cancer Clinic staff, a housekeeper was “able to clean 2.7 infection control rooms per hour.” After the workshops, things were restructured so that productivity increased to “3.15 infection control rooms” per hour. Make no mistake, the Wall government’s ambitious lean project is probably not perfect; no massive reform ever is. But there are plenty of signs things are heading in the right direction. Even if the critics don’t want to admit it. Colin Craig is the Prairie Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
Think before changing alcohol rules
The provincial rule books governing the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages are changing. Recently the B.C. Government announced details of which stores will be eligible to stock booze in 2015. The Saskatchewan Government is planning to implement similar changes. People in the province of Ontario are even suggesting ending the foreign-owned beer store distribution joint venture. This slow march towards a more liberalized distribution system for alcohol may point to a broader societal change. While that change may be market-driven and fueled by our pursuit of convenience and accessibility, there may be more to it. First, let’s be honest. When it comes to selling alcohol, there is no place like Quebec. La “Belle Province” has been, by far, the most progressive province in our nation. Private alcohol sales in Quebec have been a non-issue for decades. But even in Quebec, things have changed dramatically. There was a time when countless minors were able to purchase alcohol in convenience stores as if the legal drinking age were just a suggestion. It was a way of life back then. But today, minors are hard-pressed to find any businesses willing to sell to them without asking for proper identification. Effective marketing campaigns have made a point of it. Consumers are expecting privately owned companies to behave differently - more responsibly. All of the regulatory changes we are seeing across the country speak to how we are changing as a society. In an era in which social accountability and transparency have
gained tremendous currency, we may be reaching the limits of the moral state. More Canadians seem to be willing to trust businesses and citizens to do the right thing, even knowing full well that some may at times be irresponsible. Some may argue that therein lies a paradox. Why would our society, obsessed with risk mitigation, allow more freedom when purchasing alcohol products? In fact, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, in a very detailed report, suggests that alcohol is one of the greatest public health threats in Canada. The report concludes by recommending more regulation, less advertising of alcoholic products, and more support for alcohol abusers. Some have hinted that Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec, where the legal drinking age is currently 18, should comply with other provinces and raise their legal drinking age to 19. Backed up with sound data, these arguments certainly have merit. But Quebec, where beer, wine and spirits are extremely accessible and the rapport between consumers and alcohol has arguably been unique, has one of the lowest rates of alcohol abuse in 2014, and the lowest number of police-reported drinking incidents in the country. For industry, more access for consumers will indeed mean more accountability. It must put even greater emphasis on health issues and ensure that an awareness of these issues is embedded at the highest level of its businesses.This should never be just about generating more revenues, but about making our lives more enjoyable. Sylvain Charlebois is a professor of food distribution and policy at the University of Guelph in Ontario.
I am suddenly at the forefront of men’s fashion I have never considered myself a fashionable guy. I wouldn’t say I’m indifferent to the clothes I wear so much as I don’t really pay much attention to trends, labels and that kind of thing. My hairstyle is generally low-maintenance, and then given even less maintenance than that as I tend to forget to actually get it cut for months. But somehow, in spite of not really paying attention to fashion or really caring, I’m now apparently part of a larger fashion movement. Someone has coined the rather unfortunate term “lumbersexual,” which sounds inappropriate but actually refers to men who have gone a more lumberjack route in personal appearance. That could mean lots of things, especially if you recall a certain Monty Python song, but in this case it means beards and flannel, occasionally with big boots to go with them. It doesn’t mean the men in question actually do physical labor, but that they at least have a passing acquaintance with ruggedness. It’s the same reason people drive their kids to school in a pickup truck, and probably the same reason a car salesman once said to me “you look like the kind of guy who would buy a truck” in spite of the fact I was asking about a compact sedan. The look is spreading so far that it’s hitting trendy magazines.
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger As is probably obvious by now, my style is not at all determined by trends, and even if I’m now somehow part of a movement it still is not trend driven. The large amount of flannel in my wardrobe is purely practical, because I live in Canada where it gets cold and flannel is quite warm. The beard popped up because I wanted to see if I could get away with not shaving anymore, and it stayed because I decided I quite liked having it. Plus, since it gets cold, letting it go a bit out of hand in the winter means I have a scarf permanently attached to my face, which is cool. I have relatively bulky boots because it’s much more practical to wear those when the snow flies. All of this is a matter of pure practicality.
That’s why I’ve been dressing like this for years, long before trend pieces were dedicated to how now the big trend is to look like you fell trees for a living. It simply is the easiest way to stay warm and comfortable once the temperatures dip and everyone gets cold. It’s not the only way of staying somewhat warm, I’ve got a certain fondness for argyle sweaters that doesn’t really translate to anything lumber, and I’m sure it’s not for everyone. It is, apparently, for enough people that a terrible word has been coined to describe it. So it stands to reason that this has become a trend in the month of November, when the temperatures begin to dip and people find a way to stay warmer than they used to. Maybe this entire trend is just practically-minded men like myself who have discovered the best way to stay warm all winter is to put on the flannel and grow as much hair as they can. They have realized, like I did many years ago, that lumberjacks were smart guys and their style was just sensible decision-making. Since this has effectively been my personal style for years, I can confidently say I have accidentally become a fashion trendsetter. If this continues, I hope everyone likes orange, because that’s the other thing I wear all the time.

Everyone could use some tax relief
Online health access next step
To the Editor: After seven years of budget deficits and over $160 billion in new debt, the federal government confirmed in its financial update that it expects to record a surplus next year. With the deficit set for elimination, now is the time to shift focus on ways to lay the foundation for stronger economic growth and increased prosperity. Using the new fiscal room for pro-growth tax relief warrants serious consideration. Starting in 2015/16 and up to 2019/20, the government expects to run cumulative surpluses of $31.2 billion. Its projections include an annual $3 billion contingency buffer, so the surpluses could actually total as much as $46.2 billion. That leaves substantial fiscal room for enacting tax changes that improve Canada’s competitiveness and put the country on a stronger economic footing. The expected surpluses would have been higher had the government not already used part of them on a series of initiatives announced last month including family income splitting for tax purposes (limited by a cap), an expansion of the Universal Child Care Benefit, an increase in the Child Care Expense Deduction limit, a doubling of the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit, and
a new tax credit for small businesses. The cumulative price tag of these initiatives is $27.5 billion (from 2014/15 to 2019/20) or roughly $5 billion annually once fully implemented. If the government’s goal is to enact “prudent” new measures that encourage economic growth and “boost job creation,” other options would generate greater economic bang for the buck. Flash back to the late 1990s when the federal government last eliminated a deficit. The public debate about how best to use the socalled “fiscal dividend” led to the then Liberal government enacting an important series of tax reforms that helped usher in a period of strong economic performance. The Liberals used the surpluses to reduce personal income taxes, lower capital gains taxes, and set in motion a multi-year reduction in the corporate tax rate that has made Canada’s business tax regime more competitive with the United States. But the federal progrowth tax reform agenda has since largely stalled. The major tax reductions enacted by the Conservatives have been limited to decreasing the GST rate, following through on scheduled reductions to the corporate tax rate, and creating
several tax credits for particular individuals or activities that have complicated the tax code. The personal income tax rate structure has essentially been unchanged. Therein lies a major opportunity for maximizing the economic impact of the fiscal dividend today. A recent study surveying the existing research on marginal tax rates clearly shows that high and increasing personal income tax rates discourage investment and entrepreneurship, which form the basis for a thriving economy. The same study shows that Canada is uncompetitive on personal income tax rates and the income levels at which they apply. Consecutive federal governments, both Liberal (in 2005) and Conservative (in 2006), have identified the destructive effect of Canada’s personal income tax rates. Indeed, the Conservatives highlighted the need to reduce personal income tax rates well before any mention of income splitting. Broad-based tax relief in the form of lower personal income tax rates would improve Canada’s competitiveness and strengthen our economy by encouraging productive activity like increased work effort, saving, investment, and entrepre-
neurship. Another option is for the Conservatives to take a page from the 1990s Liberal playbook and reduce capital gains taxes, which apply to the sale of assets when the selling price exceeds the original purchase price. This may not be the sexiest policy topic heading into an election year but the reality is that capital gains taxes impose enormous economic costs and bring in relatively little revenue in return (just 1.1 per cent of total federal revenues). A wealth of research shows that eliminating or at least reducing capital gains taxes would increase the supply and lower the cost of capital for new and expanding firms, leading to higher levels of entrepreneurship, economic growth, and job creation. The Conservatives should be commended for sticking to their commitment to the balance budget. But balancing the budget cannot become an end in itself or it can come to serve as a justification for spending increases with limited economic benefit. Reducing personal income tax rates and capital gains taxes would be a productive use of future surpluses. Charles Lammam and Milagros Palacios are economists at the Fraser Institute.
The west is an economic powerhouse
To the Editor:
Statistics Canada has released experimental estimates of gross domestic product for the period 2001 to 2009 for 33 census metropolitan areas. The results reinforce what we already know that Canada’s economic activity is concentrated in its cities and half of our GDP is produced in just six cities - Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa-Gatineau. Of course, the Toronto CMA is the dominant centre with about 20 per cent of Canada’s GDP being produced there. Per capita GDP in 2009 ranged from a high of $65,404 in Regina to a low of $28,750 in Abbotsford. Aside from Regina, the other top 10 CMAs include Calgary, Edmonton, OttawaGatineau. St. John’s, Saskatoon, Toronto, Victoria, Vancouver and Guelph. Out of the top 10, six of them are in western Canada, three are in Ontario/ Quebec and only one in Atlantic Canada. Of the bottom 10, only two are in western Canada, six are in Ontario, and two are in Quebec. When it comes to per capita GDP growth, the greatest growth was for Regina, Saskatoon and St. John’s, while the lowest growth was for Guelph, Windsor and Oshawa. Between 2001 and 2009, Regina saw its nominal per capita GDP grow an astounding 69 per cent while Saskatoon
was close behind at 61 per cent. Interestingly enough, the top 10 also include Victoria, Edmonton, Sudbury, Moncton, Kingston, Quebec City and Saguenay - but not Calgary, which comes in 11th spot with growth of 38 per cent. While Toronto contributes 20 per cent of Canada’s GDP, its rate of nominal per capita GDP growth was the fourth lowest in the country. Indeed, with inflation over this nine-year period at about 2 per cent per year, Toronto’s 17 per cent nominal per capita GDP growth means its real per capita GDP has essentially stood still for a decade. Yet one needs to temper this analysis with the fact that the reason per capita GDP growth is as low as it is in some CMAs can be because of population change. Toronto’s poorer per capita GDP growth performance needs to be counterbalanced by the fact that it remains a magnet for migration on par with western CMAs and without the benefit of a resource sector boom. Of the 33 CMAs in the report, over the period 2001 to 2009, Toronto had the sixth fastest growing population while Barrie had the fifth fastest. Kelowna was fourth and Oshawa third in population growth. Calgary, which was not in the 10 highest CMAs for per capita GDP growth, nevertheless had the highest population growth rate of all the
CMAs at 25 per cent followed by Edmonton at 20 per cent. On the other hand, Regina, which had the highest per capita GDP growth, only had population growth of about 7 per cent. Oshawa’s decline in per capita GDP is a function of its depressed auto sector manufacturing economy as well as its role as a bedroom community for the GTA, which gave it the third fastest growing CMA population in the country. Thunder Bay and Saguenay - which fare relatively well in per capita GDP and per capita GDP growth, however had shrinking populations over this time period. These urban GDP figures paint a complex picture of economic change in Canada as they combine economic output and growth with the effects of changing populations and migration patterns. A dynamic economy is a combination of rising output, combined with growing employment and population as migrants are attracted by economic opportunity. Rapidly growing populations in the pursuit of economic opportunity may understate per capita GDP growth in booming regions while population decline in economically slower regions may overstate their per capita GDP performance.

To the Editor: Eight in 10 Canadian adults want online access to their own health information yet fewer than one in 10 currently have it, according to a new study published in Healthcare Papers. The gap is just as wide for other patient online services, such as booking appointments, e-visits, or requesting prescription renewals or refills online; Canadians want them all, but most aren’t getting them. Why not, when it seems we can do virtually everything else online these days? Take something as seemingly simple as e-visits. Email, even secure email, is a well-established technology that is used by millions of people every day. But offering secure e-visits for patients has proven to be complex. For example, where in-person visits are required by fee schedules, law, or professional practice guidelines, adoption is likely to be slower. In settings where e-visits become common, they tend to be recognized as a clinical service, often with dedicated time allocated to them. This means changes to workflow and practice patterns. Likewise, updates may be needed to professional practices, patient education, and privacy policies to ensure that e-visits are safe, effective and used appropriately. Canada is not without success stories, but they are in pockets, rather than widespread. For example, more than 360,000 British Columbians have signed up to access their lab results online. Thousands of patients at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto use the hospital’s MyChart system to access their records. And Nova Scotia’s personal health record demonstration project in Halifax was oversubscribed by both patients and clinicians. I can testify to some of the benefits of patient online services from personal experience. A few years ago I lived in Denmark where my ophthalmologist prescribed an antibiotic for an eye infection. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. When I called her office for follow up, I learned that she was away so I sent a secure email to my family doctor asking him to suggest an alternative. He replied less than an hour later. In that time, my doctor looked at my electronic health record, saw what his colleague had prescribed, and e-prescribed a different antibiotic that I could pick up at the local pharmacy. I don’t know how much this changed my long-term health outcome, but the speed and simplicity - plus the fact that I didn’t have to stumble blindly around the city trying to find a new doctor’s office - was priceless. There is, in fact, a growing consensus on the value of digital health solutions for consumers and we are starting to see some traction. For example, at this summer’s General Council of the Canadian Medical Association, Canada’s doctors voted to support the creation and use of secure electronic communication between patients and healthcare providers. The Conference Board of Canada drew on survey data to estimate that if Canadians had had the option to consult with their physicians, access test results and request prescriptions renewals electronically, they could have avoided nearly 47 million in-person healthcare visits and saved almost 70 million hours in 2011. The right policy and regulatory environment needs to be in place. Implementation approaches need to take into account differences in patients served, care environments, the broader digital health infrastructure and approaches to realize anticipated benefits. The patient online services most in demand connect individuals with their healthcare teams. This means that they need to be user-centric, designed with patient safety and privacy in mind, integrated into clinicians’ workflows and workload, and made consistent with regulatory and legal frameworks. It will take thoughtful, well-aligned efforts to close the gap between desire for and availability of patient online services, making benefits widely available not just for a lucky few served by early adopters. Individuals and organizations will have to hold hands in a collective, collaborative effort, not something at which the health system always excels. But the strong consensus on the importance of harnessing the power of digital solutions to improve health and healthcare suggests that progress is within reach.

Delivering a message of Remembrance
The Royal Canadian Legion, Gen. Alexander Ross, Branch #77, executive & members, wish to thank everyone that has supported and helped with the 2014 Poppy Campaign and Remembrance Day ceremony at the Flexi Hall. Thank you to the City of Yorkton for allowing us use of this facility. For those of you who were unable to attend our Remembrance Day, we had two students from Sacred Heart High School, Kennedy Gagne and Caleb Sutter, deliver the message of Remembrance. Last April, both Kennedy & Caleb were part of the Organized Sacred Heart High School tours, that visited the Battlefields of WWI & WWII in Europe. Their message of Remembrance was very meaningful and well delivered. I would like to share their speeches with you, the reader. At the Remembrance Day Ceremony, the names of the Veterans, who passed on since last Remembrance Day, were read. WWII Veterans that are still with us, were recognized and received certificates & pins from the Federal Government. These Veterans have volunteered and contributed so much to keep the principals & objectives of Legion alive and functioning. Volunteerism is what the Legion is all about. We all know what happens when we run out of Volunteers! Facts are the next generations must step up and volunteer to take the torch from failing hands and carry on: There will be an open house meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #77, 380 West Broadway, Yorkton at 7 p.m. on Monday, November 24, 2014. Everyone is welcome to come and find out more about the principals & objectives of the Legion. Submitted by Peter Wyatt. By Caleb Sutter
Today is Remembrance Day. Today we remember the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for freedom, but what does it really mean to remember? For some, it is a day to remember the horrors of war, fallen comrades, and the thought they may have never returned home. For others, it is a day to remember past family members and to show respect for those who gave up their lives for our freedom. And maybe to others it is a reminder of how terrible, destructive, and evil war really is.
Personally I never really knew what Remembrance Day meant to me until this past spring when I had the privilege to go on the Canadian Battlefields tour with Sacred Heart High School. Before I went on the trip, all that I knew about war I learnt through pictures or history class. At Remembrance Day ceremonies I would pay my respects like everyone else, but I couldn’t make a real connection to what it really means to remember. While on the trip, we visited many war memorial sites including cemeteries, Juno Beach, Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele, and many more. The landscape there is beautiful, the cemeteries are clean and well kept, and it made me think, how could such a beautiful place be a muddy battlefield filled with death and destruction? Then I looked closer and saw that the rolling landscape wasn’t supposed to be rolling, it was made that way by years of artillery shelling, trenching, and underground bombing. When we visited Juno Beach it was a very windy and rainy day and I remember our entire group was huddled in our rain coats and umbrellas. I thought of what it would have been like to land on that beach, exactly where I was standing, as a Canadian soldier 70 years ago. I tried to think how hard it would have been to jump out of the boats into rough waves, trying to avoid German machine gun fire from the pill boxes on the other side of the sand. After imagining all of this I realized it must have been a miracle that the Canadians took this beach because it was one of the most heavily defended beaches along the coast. Even after seeing the war torn landscape and impossible odds the Canadian soldiers faced, I still didn’t quite understand what it meant to remember. That all changed once we visited the Canadian war cemeteries. At each of the entrances to the cemeteries there was a huge stone slab that had the words “Their Name Liveth Forever More” inscribed on them. After looking at the gravestones I saw a couple that had the words “A Soldier of the Great War” instead of a name. That is what got me. If the slab at the front of the cemetery is saying that all of the soldiers will be remembered, how are we supposed to remember soldiers who were buried nameless? At that point I realized that all soldiers may be forgotten. As time passes
on, so do our veterans from the First and Second World Wars. Once those veterans have passed on, who will be there to perform the Remembrance Day services? Who will be there to volunteer their time to have poppies given out to raise money for veterans and their families? The answer is the next generation, my generation. We have to start stepping up and taking the initiative to keep Remembrance alive. If we think that since we were not alive during these wars they do not pertain to us, we could not be more wrong. We have to remember that most of the soldiers that went over were only a couple years older than us, maybe even the same age. We need to try and imagine how we would feel if we had to go to war. We need to think whether we would want to be remembered for our services and sacrifices, or left in the sands of time to be forgotten. It is the least that we can do to show respect to the men and women who sacrificed their lives and are still sacrificing them today. Even on home soil our veterans have had their lives lost due to acts of terrorism solely because they have served in the military. That should be reason enough to want and start acting to keep the memory of our valiant men and women alive after what they have done for us. Those man and women paid the ultimate price for us to have the free and privileged lives we live today, so it is the least we can do to keep their legacy going by simply remembering who they were, the sacrifices they made, and freedom they died for. By Kennedy Gagne Good morning, Today, we, among thousands of other Canadians stand united to honour those who have served and continue to serve our beloved country.
In April of this last year, some of my classmates and I had the opportunity to visit many of the battlefields in Europe, and pay our respects to the brave Canadian soldiers who sacrificed everything to keep our country free and safe. For me, the most moving experience was at the Canadian National Vimy Ridge Memorial. We placed two wreathes, and humbly witnessed the names of the 11 285 soldiers listed as “Missing, and Presumed Dead” from World War One. Much to the awe and respect of the other visitors, we joined in a circle to proudly sing our national anthem, as a powerful conclusion to our emotional visit. It was a highly sobering experience, recognizing that the soldiers buried among the rows were hardly older than us, when they chose to give up their lives to ensure the protection of our generations. While 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the First World War, the recent tragedies in Quebec and our nation’s capital, provide a horrifying glimpse into the injustices the armed forces fought to protect us from. It is with this in mind that we express our immense gratitude for the safety and security we have been granted by our veterans, and the fallen soldiers of our past. As youth today, it is our duty to commemorate the brave men and women that provided us with the vast rights and freedoms we have today. In memory of their service, we must appreciate what we have been given, embrace the opportunities we are provided and live our lives to the fullest for those who couldn’t. We must wear our poppies with pride, share our gratitude, and stand united for peace. And most of all, we must ensure “leur nom vit pour les generations” – their name liveth for evermore. Thank you.

New funding protecting your health There has never been a case of Ebola in Canada, and the federal government is doing its level best to ensure that Canadians are protected should this deadly virus reach our shores. Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose and Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, Dr. Gregory Taylor, have announced a $30.5 million investment to further strengthen Canada’s domestic preparedness and international response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Building on experience with SARS and H1N1, Canadian hospitals have strong infection control procedures in place. But Minister Ambrose noted that “We are continuing to invest
in research and development of vaccines and treatments that will assist in the global outbreak response.” “This new funding for research and development for Ebola medical countermeasures will complement other Canadian Ebola preparedness and response activities to ensure that Canada is ready to respond in the event there is a confirmed first case in Canada. The investments further demonstrate our commitment to ensuring that Canada continues to remain cautious and well prepared,” explained Dr. Taylor. The Chief Public Health Officer of Canada is in regular contact with provincial and territorial
Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz counterparts, helping ensure we are prepared in the event a case is identified in Canada. The Government of Canada is ready to support provincial and territorial health systems with emergency response teams, five of which are already prepared, to immediately deploy at the request of the provinces and territories in the event of a first case
of Ebola in Canada. They also will supply lab expertise to confirm a diagnosis, emergency supplies such as masks, face shields and gloves, and doses of an experimental Ebola vaccine. In addition, the federal government has contributed two diagnostic labs and significant funding to help combat Ebola and save lives in
Robbery in Patrick Park
On Monday, November 17, 2014, at approximately 2:00 p.m., a 61-year-old female from Yorkton was walking on the bike path in Patrick Park near Haultain Avenue in Yorkton, SK. when she was approached from behind by a male
suspect. The male suspect stole the victim’s purse, which contained a small amount of cash, and she was pushed to the ground, sustaining minor physical injuries. The victim was not taken to hospital. The suspect is described as a male
with a fair complexion, approximately 5 to 6 feet tall, slim build, clean shaven with large, dark eye brows. At the time of the incident, the subject was wearing a black hoody under a dark coloured winter coat with some red on it.
The RCMP is looking for the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Yorkton RCMP at 306-786-2400 or submit a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.
West Africa. We have provided over $2.5 million worth of personal protective equipment to the World Health Organization for use in West Africa. It is recommended that Canadians avoid non-essential travel to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Travelers arriving in Canada from affected countries are subject to a mandatory health assessment, and Canadian visa officers have temporarily paused the processing of visa applications from foreign nationals who have been present in a country designated by the World Health Organization as
having widespread cases of Ebola, unless essential in exceptional cases. Our government is also posting additional inspectors at airports. Canadians can rest assured that their federal, provincial and territorial governments are prepared to deal with threats to public health, and that our government is taking all necessary steps to help protect the health and safety of Canadians.

Don’t forget about your safety rules Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell. All those logs that Anne and Nels bucked up for us had to be split. However, I procrastinated and now I’m paying for it. We have an electrical motor driven splitter outside by the spruce trees, and it doesn’t work that well when the temperature drops below +2C. I was able to do a little bit the other afternoon in +4C and sunshine, but there are still a lot of logs to split! First I thought that I would stretch a tarp over the splitter and plug in an indoor electric heater under the tarp. I went over to the barn and found a tarp that was covering some square hay bales. Marion is down with a cold and won’t notice that I borrowed the tarp, or so I thought. I got the tarp
over the splitter, but it was a matter of securing it in such a fashion that all the heat would be contained around the splitter. I couldn’t see that well under the tarp, and kept running into bucked up logs and debris from previous splitting, and I had a hard time keeping my balance. Add to that that our dog Lady thought that I was playing, and she would bark and attack the tarp every time she saw any movement. Then Marion came out to see what all the commotion was about, and I got busted! Because it was snowing ever so lightly, the tarp had to go back and cover the hay bales or my quality of life would dramatically change, or so I was told! I guess she has no sense of humour when she’s suffering through a cold! Oh well, perhaps my old wine carboy electric heat belts might do the trick. I have two
of them, so I’ll give that a try and wrap them around the splitter, and perhaps I can start some serious splitting this afternoon! The heat belts worked, the splitter decided to cooperate, and I got to work. The splitting station is right under a spruce tree, and the spruce tree is where a family of squirrels live, and gather feed by breaking apart spruce cones to get at the seeds. The squirrels were not amused by all that noise and commotion right under their tree; they came down and more or less told me off in squirrel language. I was wearing a pair of sweat pants that were open at the bottom of the legs, and one squirrel got inside my right pant leg and started to climb up my leg on the inside! The sharp claws cut into my skin and hurt like hell. I tried to get rid of it by shaking my leg, but that only made the
animal climb up faster! I clamped my left hand down hard between my legs, in an effort to secure an important part of my anatomy, while trying to redirect the squirrel with my right hand. Lady came over and thought I was playing because of my waving arm; her front part went low to the ground, her rear end was sticking up and the tail was wagging faster that a rotating fan! Then she saw the squirrel moving in my pant leg and jumped at it knocking me on my butt! I had to let go of my protective left hand grip, in an effort to catch myself on the way down and before I ended up on my back! The squirrel ran to the top of my pants, I hollered out loud and tried to shoo the squirrel away with my right hand; and in doing so I managed to hit it! The squirrel turned around and ran out of my pant leg! Lady
chased the squirrel back up the tree, and gave a couple of barks for good measure! The other three squirrels had already run up the tree, and when the last one joined them, they all disappeared into their nest up there chatting away. Before I could get back on my feet, Lady came over and put her front paws on my chest while she proceeded to give me a facial! I had forgotten my own “safety rules” from last time I operated this gizmo, and while holding a small log in place with my left hand and operating the “piston” with my right hand, my little finger sort of ended up in the groove between the log bed and the outside guide, and when the log split it expanded sideways and squeezed my little finger! Man did that hurt! It was like deja vu as I did the same thing a few years back! I got a memory like a steel trap, but sometimes it
is rusted shut! The following is supposedly a true story: Two bowling teams, one Swedish, one Norwegian, charter a double-decker bus for a weekend bowling tournament. The Swedish team rides on the bottom level of the bus, the Norwegian team rides on the top level. The Swedish team, down below, is whooping it up and having a great time until one of them realizes he doesn’t hear anything from the Norwegians upstairs. So, he decides to investigate. When the Swede reaches the top, he finds the Norwegian team staring straight ahead at the road, frozen in fear, clutching the seats in front of them with white knuckles. “What’s going on up here?” asks the Swede. “We’re having a great time downstairs!” “Ya,” screams a terrified Norwegian, “but you’ve got a driver!”
Time to take the 21 day calving challenge Cow herd reproduction is the most important factor affecting the profitability of Saskatchewan Beef Producers. It is five times more important than growth rate and ten times more important than carcass quality when it comes to contributing income to the ranch. That is why the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, Regional Services Branch, New Life Mills, Saltec – Ceres Industries, and Cargill are hosting a Saskatchewan 21 Day Calving Challenge Contest – to raise awareness surrounding cow herd reproduction and tracking reproductive success. One of the simplest ways to track the reproductive success of a cow-calf herd is to graph a calving distribution. This is simply a calculation of how many calves are born in each 21 day period of the calving season. Calving distribution is important because it is the only easily accessible reproduc-
tive event in a cowcalf herd. In most herds, we don’t know the exact breeding dates for each cow unless we are using artificial insemination. The only reproductive event that is easy to track is the cow’s calving date. To create a calving distribution, count the cows that have calved during the first 21 days of the calving season. Divide this number by the total number of cows that calve in the season and multiply by 100 to get the percentage of cows calving in the first 21 days. Repeat this process for each of the next two 21 day periods. The goal is to have at least 60 per cent of the herd calving in the first 21 day period of the season. There are several reasons why achieving the goal of 60 per cent of cows calving in the first 21 days of the calving season is important. • Early calving cows stay on track. Cows that are cycling

and get bred in the first 21 days of the breeding season are more likely to be cycling and bred at the start of the next breeding season, provided that they are in good body condition and receiving adequate nutrition. • Cows that calve in the first 21 days will wean heavier calves. Every time a cow misses a 21 day breeding cycle it could reduce weaning weight by 50 pounds . • Heifer calves born in the first 21 days that are retained as replacement heifers are heavier and more likely to be cycling as a yearling heifer. • Having a large proportion of calves born in the first 21 day period also creates a more even and uniform calf crop, simplifying management procedures and results in a marketing advantage. Most cow-calf producers have a calving book in their pockets at calving time. This simple record keeping
VPower V-Slicer Mandoline
system can tell you more than which calf belongs to which cow. The Saskatchewan 21 Day Calving Challenge invites producers to record, measure and evaluate their calving season to see how their herd stacks up on reproduction and profitability. In taking the 21 Day Calving Challenge, producers will be provided with a calving book to record the coming calving season and guide them in calculating their calving

Addictions message all about awareness
From November 17–21, 2014, the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute will join the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA) to mark National Addictions Awareness Week (NAAW), and Saskatchewan Addictions Awareness Week (SAAW). This year, the emphasis is on youth
substance abuse prevention. Led nationally by CCSA, SAAW highlights issues and solutions to help address alcohol and other drug-related harms. It provides an opportunity to learn more about substance abuse prevention, to talk about treatment and recovery, and to bring forward
solutions for change. “Preventing youth from misusing alcohol and other drugs is a priority for the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute,” said Róisín Unsworth, Youth Action for Prevention Coordinator. Youth 15 to 24 years old have the highest selfreported past-year use of
illicit substances compared to other Canadians. Alcohol remains the substance with the most health, legal, and social harms. In Saskatchewan, binge drinking rates are among the highest in Canada. “We really need to be focusing our efforts on changing the culture of over-consumption of alcohol, and moving
New exhibit all about birds
Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty officially opened a new exhibit at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) called “A Roar of Wings.” One hundred years ago, on September 1, 1914, the world’s last passenger pigeon, a captive 29 year-old bird named Martha, died. Her death marked the end of a species that once numbered in the billions. To commemorate the loss of the passenger pigeon, the RSM developed this new exhibit about extinct and threatened species. In addition to the passenger pigeon, visitors will also view and learn about nine other extinct species, including the Tylosaur, an ancient marine reptile that once lived in Saskatchewan; as well as other famous birds such as the Dodo and the Great Auk. Additionally, the exhibit features sixteen currently threatened species including the Eastern Yellowbellied Racer, the Burrowing Owl and the Macropis Cuckoo Bee, which have all been studied by RSM researchers. “This new exhibit tells a fascinating story,” Docherty said. “I hope many teachers, students and families take the opportunity to learn about the passenger pigeon, as well as other extinct and threatened species by visiting this exhibit throughout the winter.” “Passenger pigeons were amazing, almost unbelievable birds,” RSM Curator of Human Ecology Glenn Sutter said. “Their loss is part of a global extinction event that’s happening right now, due to human activity. This exhibit not only aims to raise awareness about recent extinctions, it also focuses on species that are currently at risk, and steps being taken to protect them and help their populations recover.”
Passenger pigeons were once a common sight in central and eastern parts of North America, including Saskatchewan. With an estimated population of three to five billion birds, they nested and travelled in enormous flocks that would darken the sky for hours, even days. Pressured by overharvesting and the loss of nesting habitat, their numbers went into steep decline in the late 1880s, leading to their eventual extinction in 1914. The exhibit will be on display at the RSM until spring 2015. A new exhibit will replace it in summer 2015.
towards a culture of moderation among all age groups, not just youth”, said Unsworth. A substantial amount of change and growth— including significant brain growth and development—takes place during the adolescent years. Substance use and abuse during this critical time can have impacts that persist long after the high has worn off, including chronic disease, addiction, and mental health disorders. “SAAW is really important because it helps remove the stigma by creating awareness about addictions and spreads the message of hope that many people do recover. The younger a person is when they access services and break that pattern, the better. There are many great supports and services

Single body to regulate accountants
Legislation to create the Institute of Chartered Professional Accountants of Saskatchewan (CPA Saskatchewan) was proclaimed last week. This means professional accountants in Saskatchewan are now represented by a single, self-regulating body and share a new, common
designation—Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA). “The Accounting Profession Act is part of the broader initiative to merge provincial professional accounting associations across Canada,” Finance Minister Ken Krawetz said. “This legislation strengthens and unifies the account-
ing profession in our province. The new CPA designation also lets Saskatchewan people know that they are dealing with professionallytrained and regulated accountants.” “Today, the provincial government proclaimed the CPA Saskatchewan legislation, allowing the CAs,
Weather network to share content CBC News and The Weather Network are pleased to announce a new content sharing agreement, bringing together Canada’s leading sources of weather, news and information. Beginning December 8, national weather forecasts on select CBC News television properties will be provided by The Weather Network’s team of meteorologists and on-air personalities, while The Weather Network will gain access to CBC News weatherrelated stories, analysis, and video content for use across its platforms. “CBC News is a trusted source for news and information, and we’re pleased to be joining forces with another trusted brand and reaching and engaging new audiences across the country,” said
Jennifer McGuire, General Manager and Editor in Chief, CBC News and Centres. “CBC is always finding ways to deliver content to Canadians in more innovative and efficient ways, and this new partnership with The Weather Network is a reflection of that,” added Neil McEneaney, Chief Business Officer, CBC English Services. The Weather Network will provide weather updates on CBC News Network throughout the day and at the end of The National on CBC-TV and CBC News Network, including expanded weather reports on CBC Toronto on weekends. The Weather Network, based out of its Oakville studios, will also supply weather reports to CBC News Express broadcasts in eight Canadian
airports. “The Weather Network has always prided itself on being the place Canadians turn to for local, up-todate, accurate weather information. We are excited to collaborate with CBC – a trusted source of news and information,” said Maureen Rogers, Managing Director, The Weather Network. “This agreement provides CBC with access to The Weather Network’s unparalleled weather expertise.” As part of the agreement, The Weather Network also gains access to CBC News’ award winning reports and content, including all news weatherrelated stories and video for The Weather Network’s various platforms (TV, online, and mobile).
CMAs and CGAs in Saskatchewan to legally merge, and establish CPA Saskatchewan— one of the largest professional organizations in the province,” CPA Saskatchewan Chair Martin McInnis said. “By establishing CPA Saskatchewan, we’ll be able to better protect the public’s interests as they now have one regulatory body to refer to. We’ll also be to eliminate marketplace confusion about the different accounting designa-
tions.” The CPA designation is Canada’s pre-eminent accounting and business designation. With more than 5,000 members and students in Saskatchewan, and more than 190,000 members across Canada, CPAs are providing crucial financial expertise in businesses in every sector of the economy. “We’re excited to have successfully arrived at this significant milestone, having
merged all three accounting designations,” McInnis said. “It shows Saskatchewan’s leadership in accounting and business.” CPA Saskatchewan ensures the protection of the public and the visibility of the profession. It represents all areas of expertise of the accounting profession, including assurance, financial accounting, management and management accounting, finance and taxation.

Meeting the worlds needs a challenge
Ed, my neighbor next door, is determined that it’s now time for the wise ones to head south to Arizona or Texas. Ed informed me last week that rather than waste his money going south that he is planning on becoming an entrepreneur this winter. He feels that he will have plenty of time to plan for the startup of his own business if the winter is as long as usual. My neighbor is certain that if others have turned an idea into a profitable finished product that he should give it a try. I asked Ed if he is willing to take risks, and if he has some innovative ideas for his
business that haven’t been tried before. He said that he was not disclosing any of his business secrets until he is rich and famous. I agreed with him that it was probably wise. I mentioned to Ed that Thomas Edison is reported to have said, “I find out what the world needs then I proceed to invent.” I think that Edison was right in that the world needed the light bulb. I wished Ed, good luck, in finding and producing what we need. I’m not sure what Ed has in mind, but I did refuse to invest any capital in his business that still seems to be in the conception stage.
Neighborly Advice According to Ed by Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com There are always a lot of opinions on what the world needs. Entrepreneurs want to produce products that serve people or are useful to them so that people will buy them. There are products made that promise that they are what people need, but turn out to be worthless. Ed is all for me trying out products that
he might need someday. He wants me to use a hair growth procedure, the weight loss pills, the brain stimulator and the diabetes cure, even though; I do not have diabetes. According to all the advertisements I am missing out on countless things that I need, and don’t know it. Matthew speaks of
Jesus preaching that the world needs repentance. Jesus said, “Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near. ”Mark adds that Jesus preached, “The time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news.” It seems repentance was missing in Jesus’ world. The need to confess we have forgotten to honor God and our neighbor gets ignored in every age. Turning or returning to God tends to get lost in the activities of life such as; eating and drinking, marrying, buying and selling, planting and building. Repentance is about both admitting that we have failed to
loved God and our neighbor fully and finding the good news that there is forgiveness for us through faith in Jesus God’s Son. Jesus came into the world to save sinners for we are all sinners. Compared to the perfectness of God we are all sinful. Many play the game of pointing out who is more sinful than themselves, which only proves the world needs a savior from our sinfulness. What does the world need most? Is it new and inventive ways to make money, or salvation already freely given by God to believers in Christ Jesus, his Son? Repent because Jesus said to do so.
Input wanted for SGI injury coverage SGI is asking the public to share their views on Saskatchewan’s auto injury program. Feedback can be provided online at www. sgi.sk.ca. Earlier this year, SGI began a review of auto injury coverage by consulting with current and former auto injury customers and key stakeholders including representatives from the medical, legal, and insurance communities. Their input, as well as input from SGI employees who work with the program, has been used to compile
options for possible changes to the program. Now SGI would like to hear what the public thinks. “Since 2003, Saskatchewan customers have had the option to be covered under nofault or tort injury coverage,” said President and CEO Andrew Cartmell. “Customers will continue to have that option, but certain aspects of coverage are being reviewed to measure the effectiveness of each program so we can better meet customers’ needs.” The consultation asks customers to consider current benefits
Photo radar is watching you A two-year photo speed enforcement pilot kicks off Friday when the camera located at the intersection of Highway 1 and 9th Avenue in Moose Jaw begins operating. Signs are being installed today. There will be a twomonth warning period to give drivers a chance to adjust to the program. During this time, drivers exceeding the speed limit will be mailed a warning instead of a ticket. Large 1.2 m x 3 m (4’ by 10’) yellow signs with black lettering will inform motorists they are about to enter a photo-speed-enforced zone, and black and white regulatory signs will also be posted within the zone. The intent of photo speed enforcement is to
calm traffic, since drivers reduce their speed to avoid a ticket,” Minister responsible for SGI Don McMorris said. Construction and installation is currently underway at the other photo speed enforcement locations. For more information about the photo speed enforcement pilot, visit SGI’s website at www.sgi. sk.ca.
and limits, enhancements to coverage, exclusions and gaps in current coverage. The consultation will seek opinions about, for example: No-fault injury coverage • Benefit levels and limits (e.g. improving
living assistance benefits, adding a counselling benefit for immediate family members) • Changes regarding the ability to sue an atfault driver • Possible other changes (e.g. improve how income benefits for self-employed custom-
ers) • A discount for retirees • Options for injury coverage for motorcyclists Tort injury coverage • Benefit levels (e.g. enhancements to the Tort income benefit) The feedback gath-
ered will be used to make recommendations to government early next year. The consultation will be available until Nov. 30, 2014 at www.sgi.sk.ca, or by calling 306-751-3554 or toll-free 1-800-667-8015 ext. 3554 to receive a paper copy.
