Our SAA members and staff find themselves with new opportunities and challenges. Current thought is that this change in population will continue to unfold over the next five to ten years as we become a province of 1.2 million people by 2020. This level of growth has been at the core of your Council’s work over this past year. We see the need now more than ever to support SAA members through this transition, building on new opportunities, welcoming the challenges of a growing province and investing in the SAA to ensure our members and staff have the required infrastructure to continue to support our growth.

  • 7.0 2021-06-17 Report of the President
    AGENDA ITEM: 7.0 DENT’S PRESIDENT’S REPORT TO COUNCIL June 2021 It is hard to believe that this is my final message to Council for the 2020/2021 academic year. I recall noting back in September that this would be a year like no other. And in many ways, not only due to the pandemic, it has been a year to remember. As I reflect on my Council reports, I am reminded of all the things we accomplished, including hybrid style course delivery, continued research achievements, and moving forward two key documents to guide the future of our university – the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Policy and Sustainability Strategy. Most importantly, this year will be remembered as a time in our institution’s history that exceptional efforts were made by our faculty and staff to stay true to our academic mission in spite of the pandemic. I still reflect upon the unprecedented move to complete the whirlwind transition to teaching, learning and working remotely - a challenge we had never faced before, and could not have been completed without the incredible commitment and professionalism of all of our employees. Remarkably, that transition was made in less than a week, thanks to your efforts. We are also very grateful for all of the essential service employees who were called to remain on campus to keep the university functioning throughout this past year, and for those who joined their fellow health- care workers on the front lines of the pandemic. It has been truly inspiring for all of us to see our campus come together, even while being apart, in support of our community – a commitment that continues to this day.

Statement of Significance The Chapel of St. Chad, as it was originally known, was designed by Webster, Forrester and Scott of Saskatoon and constructed between 1965 and 1966. The Emmanuel and St. Chad Chapel is no longer used as a church; however, its form and style still commemorate this previous role with a high degree of integrity. The building carries heritage value due to its historic use and its affiliation with the College of Emmanuel and St. Chad. It has architectural value due to its highly successful marriage of Figure 2.

  • If These Halls of Learning Could Talk the Heritage Buildings of the University of Saskatchewan
    If These Halls of Learning Could Talk The Heritage Buildings of the University of Saskatchewan Story by Jeff O'Brien Chemistry Building / Thorvaldson, 1940. Photo Credit: Saskatoon Public Library - Local History Room - A-1941 Asked to define what gives a building “heritage value,” most of us will probably start with the physical components: the essential details of form, design, style and construction. These are, literally, the building blocks of architectural heritage. But the reason we care about them is because of the stories they tell, about the people who created them and the ones that used them, all the way down to the present moment. Architectural heritage is only partly about buildings; mostly, it’s about people. This is a story about the University of Saskatchewan: its history, its spaces and its people, and how they all connect within the wider communities that surround it. Some of this story is true and some is not. That’s how stories work. www.PrairiesNorth.com 27 Photo Credit: University of Saskatchewan, University Archives and Special Collections, A-24 Depending on who you talk to, the University of Saskatchewan was established either by provincial Ddecree in 1907 or by an Act of Parliament in 1883, when a Dominion Charter was granted to Emmanuel College in Prince Albert to establish a University of Saskatchewan. That first University of Saskatchewan had lain dormant since 1886, but then-Archdeacon G.E. Lloyd (for whom Lloydminster is named) had plans to revive it as a theological seminary, and was mightily displeased with the provincial decree. In the end, Emmanuel came to Saskatoon, and so it all worked out.
