8 | WINTER 2014 On October 4th, an unexpected appearance of the late afternoon sun welcomed guests to the Assante Wealth Management (1st Avenue) Green Ribbon Gala for Child Find Saskatchewan. This gala event, which took place at the Saskatoon Golf and Country Club was not only a time to raise funds to help deliver our free Oprograms and services, it was also a time to acknowledge and reflect on the 30 years of dedication and service that Child Find SK has brought to the community and to the province. We are extremely grateful to all our sponsors, donors, special guests and dignitaries that attended our 12th annual event. Each and every one of you made this a truly special evening and your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Starting the evening off on a great note was “Gregger” from 98 Cool and his outstanding hosting skills. His Worship, Mayor Don Atchison brought greetings from the City of Saskatoon. If you ever have a chance to strike up a conversation with the mayor, you might want to ask him how he lost one of his children on a plane. It’s a good story. Bringing greetings from the Government of Saskatchewan was The Honourable, Gordon Wyant, Minister of Justice and the Attorney General and from the Saskatoon Police Service, Inspector David Haye. Darrell Nordstrom, from our title sponsor, Assante Wealth Management (1st Avenue) reminded us all why we need to invest in preventative programs and take action to circumvent Saskatchewan’s youth and children from going missing. Sgt. Tony Boensch from the Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers presented Child Find SK with an incredible donation of $10,000. Thank you for your generous gift. Phyllis Hallatt, president of Child Find Saskatchewan for over 28 years, spoke about the journey through the last 30 years.

Nobody can call it like auctioneer extraordinaire, Mr. Ken McCulloch. Mr. McCulloch is a long time friend of Child Find and once again, donated his time and expertise to raise the bid in our live auction. A big thank you goes out to Ken and to all who donated items and services to our live and silent auction. The night was still young and our guests were betting big at our Vegas Style Casino. Funny money was used to buy tickets to enter our fabulous prize draws and nobody went home disappointed.

The Green Ribbon Gala is the major Fund Raiser for Child Find SK. We appreciate the support we receive from the community as Child Find works to fill its mandate. We couldn’t do the work that we do without our Corporate Title Sponsor, Assante Wealth Management (1st Avenue), Dinner Sponsors, PotashCorp, Redhead Equipment and TD Financial and major prize donors, Air Canada Foundation and VIA Rail Canada, thank you for your continued support. Special thanks to the staff and volunteers for all your hard work, it is much appreciated, to Carol Deagnon, for your creative vision, your commitment and the many hours you have given to Child Find over the years. To our dedicated Board of Directors, thank you for the guidance and expertise you bring to Child Find Saskatchewan. Thank you all for truly believing that a “Missing Child is Everyone’s Responsibility”.

Who Can Call Anyone can call us if they have a concern about a child, youth or group of children and youth receiving services from a provincial ministry, agency, or publicly funded health entity. Children and youth are encouraged to call on their own behalf.

How We Help We will listen to the concern, ask questions to clarify the situation, and review the steps already taken to resolve the issue. We might offer information or referrals to other agencies or ministries to help you to advocate for yourself and/or for the child or youth. Advocacy by us on behalf of a child or youth is usually initiated at the request of the young person. We will work directly with them to negotiate a resolution to the matters raised with the service provider, caseworker and/or caregiver. We may also formally investigate the concern if required. If a child or youth is unable to provide direction, we will work to ensure that he or she receives the services and quality of care they are entitled to by legislation and policy. All contacts with us are Dear friends, confidential.

ALERT MAGAZINE | 29 Advocating support for all by Sarah Vermette Growing up, I had developed the natural ability to read lips, so my hearing loss was never noticed. When I was 10, an in-school hearing test revealed I had profound high-tone hearing loss. There was no suitable Gtechnology on the market in 1990 to aid me, which meant I had one option: adapt. So, I did. Due to the late discovery of the hearing-loss, I was never introduced to Deaf community or sign language—a language that didn’t require the use of my ears. I went on to get my masters degree and now work as a magazine editor. A profession rooted in language—ironic. I speak for myself only, when I say not being able to hear was taxing. But it was also the only life I knew. I received my first hybrid cochlear implant (CI) at the age of 24. I had emotional relief due to not having to struggle so greatly to hear. I now see the task of adapting and struggling also came with the underlying denial of my natural self as a hard-of-hearing/Deaf person. Before my CI, I spent every day straining to hear, or sometimes not able to hear at all. While I had a happy life with loving family and friends, I remember moments where I would literally isolate myself at events and gatherings because I couldn’t follow a conversation. Think about this: even in the presence of friends and family, the absence of sound causes a person to be isolated. Our sense of hearing enables us to hear and speak, but there’s an important distinction of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing, and providing early to make—it’s not sound that connects us; it’s language. intervention access to language, acceptance of Deaf And, language does not just have to be spoken and culture and support for families is the key. heard, it can be seen.
