    Canadian eview V olume 42, No. 4 Right to BaRe Arms Dress Guidelines in British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly p. 6 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SUMMER 2019 There are many examples of family members sitting in parliaments at the same time. However, the first father-daughter team to sit together in a legislative assembly did not happen in Canada until 1996. That is when Sue Edelman was elected to the 29th Yukon Legislative Assembly, joining her re-elected father, Ivan John “Jack” Cable. Mr. Cable moved to the North in 1970 after obtaining degrees in Chemical Engineering, a Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws in Ontario. He practiced law in Whitehorse for 21 years, and went on to serve as President of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, President of the Yukon Energy Corporation and Director of the Northern Canada Power Commission. He is also a founding member of the Recycle Organics Together Society and the Boreal Alternate Energy Centre. Mr. Cable’s entry into electoral politics came in 1992, when he successfully won the riding of Riverdale in East Whitehorse to take his seat in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. Ms. Edelman’s political presence had already been established by the time her father began his term as an MLA. In 1988, she became a Whitehorse city councillor, a position she held until 1994. In her 1991 reelection, she received more votes for her council seat than mayor Bill Weigand received. Following her time on city council, she was elected to the Selkirk Elementary School council. In the 1996 territorial election, she ran and won in the Riverdale South riding.

The seemingly healthy 25-year- old went to bed at her home in Spy Hill on March 3 but didn’t wake up the next morning. Her mother, Michelle Fredbjornson, says the doc- tors think Jacey passed away from an adult ver- sion of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) known as Sudden Adult Death Syn- drome (SADS) or Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome (SUNDS) when it happens in adults while they sleep.

The 25-year-old was deeply passionate about many things—music, fam- ily, friends, hunting, wood- working—but her love of barrel racing, horse riding, rodeo, and rounding up cattle were so strong that she lived and breathed the cowgirl life. For that reason, the Jacey Lee Memorial Race will be held in Spy Hill on Satur- day, August 28 in memory of Jacey.

    S askatchewan Mennonite Historian Official periodical of the Mennonite Historical Society of Saskatchewan, Inc. Volume XVII No. 2, Summer 2011 Aron Sawatzky: Mennonite Musician and Composer By Reg Krahn There have been many names that have come to be synonymous with Mennonite music. One of the men who contributed much to the compos- ing, teaching, and advancement of music in Mennonite circles was Aron G. Sawatzky. With only one week of formal training, he used his consider- able musical talent and dedication to provide new music, conduct choirs, and provide leadership and instruction for other choir conductors in Russia, Cana- da, and the United States. He also began his career in ministry in 1912 and was eventually elected leader and ordained as a minister in Winton, California. Aron Gerhard Sawatzky was born on May 24, 1871 in Andreasfeld, a village just east and slightly to the north of the Chortitza colony in Russia. His father was Gerhard J. Sawatzky (born August 28, 1837). Gerhard’s first wife was Aganetha Fast (1836– 1869). They had seven children: Gerhard, Jacob, Johann, Aganetha, Peter, Abraham, and Kornelius.

  • SARM Convention Highlights 2021
    Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities 116th Annual Convention & Tradeshow March 9-10, 2021 SARM.ca For the first time in SARM's 116-year history, a global pandemic brought us together in a digital format which allowed us to ensure the health and safety of our members. 2020 was a challenging year, and it’s all the more reason we needed the opportunity to re-unite at our annual convention. We built this year’s convention rooted in tradition with the understanding the importance of being grounded while growing. Opening Ceremonies & Addresses SARM’s 2021 Digital Annual Convention was kicked off by our convention host, Rustie Dean. You may have recognized her from her time with Global News Regina on the morning show or on Morning Radio on Play 92 FM. She now resides on a grain farm near Lang with her husband Brendon Sobchuk and two young boys Porter and Boden. Rustie’s personality brought humour and fun to our convention and her experience was a welcome touch to tradition. Our digital format allowed us to showcase talent from throughout Saskatchewan. Our national anthem was performed by RJC High School Choir from Rosthern, SK, and was followed by a moment of silence to honour RM council members and employees who passed away over the last year. The Lieutenant Governor presented the award for outstanding service to rural Saskatchewan, SARM recognized the contributions of both Carmen Sterling and Wendy Gowda and addresses were given by the following dignitaries: • The Honourable Don McMorris, Minister of Government Relations • Guy Lagrandeur, RMAA President • Ray Orb, SARM President 1 President’s Address SARM’s 2020 Annual Convention began with opening ceremonies and an address from SARM President Ray Orb.

    The United Church of Canada Living Skies Regional Council 60A Athabasca St. E. Moose Jaw, SK S6H 0L2 Phone: 306-704-0181 Call for a provincial ban on conversion therapy From: Living Skies Regional Council of The United Church of Canada, Rev Tricia Gerhard, chairperson. To: Hon Scott Moe, Premier; Hon Paul Merriman, Health Minister; Hon Gordon Wyant, Attorney General; Hon Everett Hindley, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. CC: Leader of the Opposition; Human Rights Critic Dear Premier Moe, Minister Merriman, Minister Wyant, and Minister Hindley, We write to you as representatives of The United Church of Canada within Living Skies Regional Council, which comprises 215 Communities of Faith and over 20 additional ministries or shared partnerships within the province of Saskatchewan. Living Skies Regional Council of the United Church of Canada, acting on a motion to its membership that passed with over 95% approval in November 2020, calls upon the Government of Saskatchewan to: a) Enact legislation banning “conversion therapy” for people of all ages in Saskatchewan, thus making it illegal for individuals or entities to engage in the practice of conversion therapy or to refer an individual to practitioners of conversion or reparative therapy; b) Include conversion therapy and bans on it in the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code; c) Ban health coverage for conversion practices. d) Ensure that the Government of Saskatchewan does not provide grants or contracts to any entity that engages in or refers individuals to practitioners of conversion or reparative therapy. e) Make a public statement against conversion therapy. Our faith belief Living Skies Regional Council stands against the harmful practice of conversion or reparative therapy for LGBTQIA+ and Two Spirit persons in Canada.
