ThroughInterdepartmental Committees it is possible to co-ordinate services withingovernment and communities an to thereby allow the institutions tofunction as treatment and training centers and no longer to be identified aslong-term custodial hospitals. How successful the rehabilitation program willbe depends upon quality and number of community residences. The following report is based on returns to a questionnairesent to super- intendents in June, 1966 and from questioning Provincialrepresentatives at a recent CARC Board Meeting. CARCCommittee Chairmen try to keep informed on all phases of their work so that they caninform Provincial Chair- men about what is going on acrossthe Country. This isn't easy to do because there is a great variety of action in the ResidentialCare field and everyone is busy - but annual Association reports, institutionnewsletters, and newspaper clippings are most helpful, and would be appreciatedby the new Chairman - Mrs. H. H. Nicholson, Chairman, CARC Residential Care Committee, 103 Wilson Crescent, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The excitement of achievements past and future is hard toleave, especially when it has meant being able to talk to people right acrossthe Country - people who are dedicated and determined -Thanks for helping me over the past six years, Mrs. R. G. Anglin *************** Statement of Philosophy CARC Intensive Study Session on Residences - 1964 "We must not determine our future course on thevalues we held in the past, but on those which are now emerging.It is now widely realized that societycannot afford to pay full attention to matters concerning propertybut neglect, to any degree, those which concern persons. "We here must act on the assumption that onlystandards adequate to our purposes are acceptable,in the surebelief that society's values are changingand will eventually support our point of view.

    NEWS RELEASE Facing a near $1.0 billion budget deficit, Newfoundland and Labrador can learn from successful Saskatchewan reforms June 24, 2021 For immediate release ST. JOHN’S—When considering ways to recover from its current fiscal crisis, including a huge provincial deficit and the highest debt level of any province, the Newfoundland and Labrador government can heed lessons from Saskatchewan, which faced a similar crisis in the 1990s, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan, Canadian public policy think-tank. “The fiscal situation in Newfoundland and Labrador requires spending reductions to reduce the province’s dauting budget deficit,” said Alex Whalen, policy analyst at the Fraser Institute and co-author of Fiscal lessons for Atlantic Canada from Saskatchewan. Newfoundland and Labrador added almost $2 billion in provincial government debt last year, which is already the highest in Canada (on a per-person basis). While COVID added to the challenges, the province’s fiscal issues long-predate the pandemic. The study highlights how Saskatchewan overcame similar issues – including deficit- financed spending, mounting debt and rising interest costs – in a short period of time. Specifically, Saskatchewan cut spending by almost 12 per cent over two years, in part by eliminating inefficient and unaffordable government programs, and balanced the budget in three years. “Saskatchewan faced similar challenges, but through spending and tax reforms, turned around their fiscal ship,” said Steve Lafleur, senior policy analyst at the Fraser Institute and study co-author.

  • Williston Basin Architecture and Hydrocarbon Potential in Eastern Saskatchewan and Western Manitoba
    Williston Basin Architecture and Hydrocarbon Potential in Eastern Saskatchewan and Western Manitoba Kim Kreis, Benoit Beauchamp 1, Ruth Bezys 2 Carol Martiniuk 3, and Steve Whittaker Kreis, L.K., Beauchamp, B., Bezys, R., Martiniuk, C., and Whittaker, S. (2004): Williston Basin architecture and hydrocarbon potential in eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba; in Summary of Investigations 2004, Volume 1, Saskatchewan Geological Survey, Sask. Industry Resources, Misc. Rep. 2004-4.1, CD-ROM, Paper A-3, 5p. Abstract The stratigraphic framework and hydrocarbon potential of the Williston Basin are currently being investigated in eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba. The Williston Basin Architecture and Hydrocarbon Potential Project (Phase 1) is a two-year collaborative program involving: Saskatchewan Industry and Resources; Manitoba Industry, Economic Development and Mines; and Natural Resources Canada. Regional geological, hydrogeological, geophysical, and remotely sensed imagery analyses are being performed on Phanerozoic-aged rocks from the top of the Precambrian basement to uppermost Cretaceous. Consultants and researchers from federal and provincial governments, and universities are involved in this regional study, the results of which are expected to enhance our knowledge of subsurface mineral potential (e.g., of brines and potash) and hydrocarbon- migration paths and entrapment mechanisms within and beyond areas of known production. Keywords: Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Williston Basin, hydrocarbons, oil, Phanerozoic, stratigraphy, geophysics, geochemistry, Digital Elevation Model (DEM), Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI). 1. Introduction Steadily increasing demand for hydrocarbons by the North American economy is widening the gap between supply and demand. Geoscience knowledge is an essential component of hydrocarbon- and mineral-exploration strategies. Over the past several decades, however, both industry and governments in Canada have generally reduced funding for geoscience investigations.

  • Native Resistance to the Fossil Fuel Industry in the Pacific Northwest
    Native Challenges to Fossil Fuel Industry Shipping at Pacific Northwest Ports Dr. Zoltán Grossman Professor of Geography and Native Studies, The Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington In recent years, the Pacific Northwest has become a region on the cutting edge of curbing carbon emissions. But any efforts to mitigate greenhouse gasses, adapt to climate change, or switch to renewable energies will become moot if the fossil fuel industry continues to expand in Alberta, the Great Plains, and beyond. Despite the enormous scale and reach of energy corporations, their top-heavy operations are actually quite vulnerable to social movements who creatively use spatial strategies and tactics. The climate justice movement has identified the Achilles heel of the energy industry: shipping. The industry needs to ship equipment from ports into its oil, gas, and coal fields, and to ship the fossil fuels via rail, barge, and pipeline to coastal ports for access to the U.S. market and shipment to global markets, particularly in Asia. The three growing fossil fuel sources in North America are in the middle of the continent: the Alberta Tar Sands, the Powder River Coal Basin, and more recently the Bakken Oil Shale Basin. Every step of the way, new alliances of environmental and climate justice activists, farmers and ranchers, and Native peoples are blocking plans to ship carbon and the technology to extract it. All three of these sources need outlets via ports in the Pacific Northwest states of Washington and Oregon. My presentation will focus on the role of Northwest ports in fossil fuel shipping and equipment networks, and the Native/non-Native alliances that are confronting them.

  • Mechanisms for Enhancing the Retirement Income System of Canada
    Province of Nova Scotia Department of Finance MECHANISMS FOR ENHANCING THE RETIREMENT INCOME SYSTEM IN CANADA The Government of Nova Scotia is working with other provinces and territories, and the Government of Canada, to consider opportunities for enhancing Canada’s retirement income system. The overall goal is to increase savings from employment income of individuals (i.e. future retirees) who are not currently saving enough to obtain sufficient levels of replacement income to maintain their standard of living in retirement. Finance Ministers have been informed by comprehensive research as well as proposals and comments submitted by numerous interest groups and individuals. Selective reports and research from various jurisdictions can be found at: http://www.gov.ns.ca/lwd/pensionreview/default.asp http://www.fin.gc.ca/activty/pubs/pension/riar-narr-eng.asp http://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/consultations/pension/dec09report.html The Finance Ministers provided direction at their June 2010 meeting for continuing work in this area. They acknowledged the importance of financial literacy and the central role that the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) plays in our government supported retirement income system. Most Ministers have agreed to consider a modest, phased-in, and fully-funded enhancement to the CPP in order to increase coverage and adequacy. Ministers further agreed to continue to work on pension innovations that would allow financial institutions to offer broad based defined contribution pension plans to multiple employers, all employees, and to the self-employed. Results of further work on technical and implementation issues will be presented at the late Fall 2010 meeting.

  • Self-Isolation Requirements in Nova Scotia Revised September 8, 2021
    Self-isolation requirements in Nova Scotia Revised September 8, 2021 DOMESTIC TRAVELERS Self-isolation requirements are based on vaccination status and testing for anyone traveling from Canadian provinces and territories outside Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. This includes Nova Scotia residents returning to the province. Isolation requirements are as follows: • People who are fully vaccinated do not have to self-isolate but testing is still recommended. • People who are not fully vaccinated must self-isolate for at least 7 days and cannot leave isolation until they get 2 negative tests results. Fully vaccinated means you had two doses of a World Health Organization approved vaccine (or 1 dose of Janssen) at least 14 days before arriving in Nova Scotia. If you received your second dose of vaccine less than 14 days before arriving in Nova Scotia, it does not count toward your vaccination status. Children 18 and younger must follow the isolation requirements for the least vaccinated adult they are traveling with. If the child is more vaccinated than the adult they are traveling with, they should isolate based on their own vaccination status. Children 16 and older can have their own form using the vaccination information of the least vaccinated adult they are traveling with. Younger children should be included on the same form of the least vaccinated adult they are traveling with. Testing for the purposes of ending isolation earlier than 14 days must be done in Nova Scotia, not in advance of arrival. It cannot be a rapid test. It must be a standard PCR lab test which usually takes up to 72 hours to get results.
