This report provides the audited financial statements and outlines activities and accomplishments of Prairie North Health Region for the year ended March 31, 2009. The past year has been another of successes and challenges for our Health Region, as you will see in the pages that follow. Among those successes have been official opening of the Maidstone Health Complex, hosting of you and your Alberta counterpart at a joint meeting in Lloydminster in August, arrival of two contingents of Philippine nurses, introduction of the RIS-PACS digital system in our two regional hospitals, and receipt of additional financial support for service expansion in Lloydminster. We look forward to furthering our partnership with the Ministry in the year ahead to achieve a responsive, integrated and efficient health system that puts the patient first and enables people to achieve their best possible health. Respectfully submitted, Bonnie O’Grady Chairperson Prairie North Regional Health Authority Prairie North Health Region - 2 - 2008/2009 Annual Report Prairie North Health Region 2 2008/2009 Annual Report WhoWho WeWe AreAre Prairie North Regional Health Authority is one of 12 Saskatchewan RHAs established in 2002 with proclamation of The Regional Health Services Act. The RHA is the formal legal entity responsible for the planning, organization, delivery and evaluation of the health services it provides within the boundaries of Prairie North Health Region. The Authority generally refers to the governing Board, while the ‘Health Region’ describes our geographic area, along with the facilities, programs, and services provided in it by all of our staff, physicians, and partners. OurOur VisionVision,, Mission ,and and Values Values Prairie North’s original Vision, Mission and Values statements were established by the RHA in 2003. In 2006-2007, Prairie North reviewed and revised its Vision, Mission, and Value statements to reflect more of what we do in the provision of quality health services, and to recognize the diversity of the communities which comprise Prairie North. Prairie North RHA is guided in its decision-making, presentation and conduct by the legislation that governs us, and by our policies around governance, responsibility, conduct, communication, accessibility, planning, and reporting. Professionally, our managers, physicians, and staff are bound by the regulations, expectations, and requirements of their professions, including codes of conduct and ethics. Prairie North has in place specific policies and procedures dealing with health information protection, informed consent and financial management, and others that guide us in delivering the highest standards of care and service throughout our organization. The Region has in place an Ethics program that consists of a Regional Committee plus local committees for The Battlefords, Lloydminster, and Meadow Lake/Rural, and a Regional Research Ethics Review Board. Members include physicians, managers, frontline staff, and Board officials who – together – work to address ethical issues that arise through day-to-day operations or in relation to more strategic decision-making processes. PNHRPNHR SStratetrategicgic PlanPlan 20072007 -- 2010 2010 Prairie North Health Region’s Strategic Plan was created and approved by the Board in 2006-07. In June 2008, PNRHA Board members, senior managers, regional directors, and medical staff officials began a review of the plan in the context of 2008-09 priorities and emphasis on “Pursuing Quality and Accelerating Excellence”. With Board terms about to expire and new Board appointments pending, revision of the Strategic Plan was held in abeyance for consideration by the new PNRHA Board. New Board members were appointed in February 2009, hence Prairie North Health Region continued to function under its existing Strategic Plan for the remainder of 2008-09. Work developing a new Strategic Plan is to begin early in the 2009-10 operating year. Prairie North Health Region 3 2008/2009 Annual Report Prairie North Health Region - 3 - 2008/2009 Annual Report Prairie North Health Region Strategic Plan 2007 - 2010 Strategic Direction – Goal 1: Improved Access to Quality Health Services PNHR Objectives: Provide responsive, coordinated primary health care Improve chronic disease management Reduce wait times for surgical procedures Reduce wait times for diagnostic services Improve emergency medical care Improve hospital, specialized services and long-term care Improve service delivery across the continuum of care Provide quality maternal/child services Strengthen mental health and addiction services Strategic Direction – Goal 2: Effective Health Promotion and Disease Prevention PNHR Objectives: Improve promotion of health and disease prevention Improve the health of northern and Aboriginal communities Strategic Direction – Goal 3: Retain, Recruit and Train Health Providers PNHR Objectives: Improve utilization and availability of health human resources Develop Prairie North Health Region into a learning organization Develop representative work places Create healthier, more effective work places Strategic Direction – Goal 4: A Sustainable, Efficient, Accountable and Quality Health System PNHR Objectives: Ensure quality, effective health care Ensure appropriate governance, accountability and management for the health sector and sustain publicly funded and publicly administered health care Communicate appropriately and effectively with all internal and external stakeholders Make Continuous Quality Improvement integral throughout the organization Ensure patient safety is a critical focus in all health services programming The Strategic Plan serves as one of the two key measures on which PNHR’S Annual Report is based, providing the Minister of Health and our stakeholders with an overview of the Region’s strategic and operational performance for the past fiscal year. The other measure is the Accountability Document between the RHA and Saskatchewan Health. An Accountability Document is created annually for each Health Region and sets out the organizational, program and service expectations of each individual RHA. Each Health Region’s Annual Report is intended to clearly describe the extent to which the RHA has made progress, and the extent to which the Region has complied with the Accountability Document.

  • News April Fool$
    News For Immediate Release April 1, 2008 April Fool$ MLAs now paid 15.4 percent more than in 2006 Transition Allowances up 30 percent REGINA: MLA pay has increased by 15.4 percent in just two years, from a taxable equivalent of $73,173 to $84,409 today, says the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). Wage hikes mandated by an all-party committee in 2006 led to the drastic increases. The basic MLA indemnity rose to $82,110 following the last election, to be indexed for inflation each April 1. A 2.8 percent increase gives cabinet ministers an annual wage of $127,384. Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz will make $133,523, and Premier Wall, $145,799. Even though the Cumberland seat is vacant, total wages now reach $5.85 million. The average salary is currently $102,783, since fully 37 of the 57 sitting MLAs receive bonuses for additional duties. Roles include premier, opposition leader, house leader or deputy house leader, speaker, deputy speaker, cabinet minister, committee chair or deputy chair, whip or deputy whip. These amounts would be even higher had the government not declined to pay the $12,560 to which the seven legislative secretaries would otherwise be entitled. “Most constituents could only dream of this much money,” said Lee Harding, Saskatchewan Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “In January, the average weekly earnings of Saskatchewan people was $731.72, which translates to an annual wage of $38,049. The average MLA earns more than two-and-a-half times that amount, insulating them from the financial realities of the constituents they represent.

  • Understanding the Effects of Impaired Driving in Saskatchewan
    Final Report UNDERSTANDING THE EFFECTS OF IMPAIRED DRIVING IN SASKATCHEWAN: Perspectives of Family Members of Victims Killed by an Impaired Driver Principal Investigators: Nicholas A. Jones, Ph.D. Department of Justice Studies, University of Regina Jody Burnett, Ph.D. Community Safety Knowledge Alliance Associate Researcher: Robert Mills, M.A. June 2018 Prepared for: With contributions from: ABOUT THIS REPORT This paper was commissioned by the Community Safety Knowledge Alliance for the purpose of improving our collective understanding of the experiences of families who have lost loved ones at the hands of impaired drivers. It explores the health, social, and economic impacts on these families as well as their experiences with the criminal justice system. This paper largely draws on the lived experiences of 13 family members—grandmothers, grandfathers, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and aunties—from across Saskatchewan, Canada. In total, these individuals were affected by 8 separate impaired driving instances which resulted in the deaths of 12 family members. For some the loss occurred very recently, while for others more time had passed.

  • A Focus on Electoral Reform
    Canadian eview Focus on Electoral Reform. CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/WINTER 2016 1 Made of copper and gold-plated, Ontario’s Mace was crafted in Ottawa in 1867. It is the third Mace to be used in the province’s history since the establishment of the Legislature during colonial times in 1792. The province’s first Mace was captured by American soldiers during the War of 1812 and later returned, and the second – dating from around 1845 - ended up in the federal parliament following Confederation in 1867 and was subsequently destroyed during a 1916 fire. Sitting underneath the crown within decorative leaves, the cup of the current Mace features the insignia of King Edward VII. The original cup bore the initials V.R. for Victoria Regina and was recently rediscovered among the collection at the Royal Ontario Museum. It is now on display in the Legislative Building lobby. In 2009, the first two diamonds mined in Ontario were mounted into the crown of the Mace. One was left in the rough to represent the mining process, and the other was polished to signify the value of the diamond industry in Ontario. The polished diamond was inscribed with the Legislative Assembly of Ontario’s motto Audi Alteram Partem – “Hear the Other Side”. Parliamentary Protocol and Public Relations Branch, Legislative Assembly of Ontario 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/FALL 2016 Maisei Raman & Doug McLean/shutterstock.com The Canadian Parliamentary Review was founded in 1978 to inform Canadian legislators about activities of the federal, provincial and territorial branches of the Canadian Region of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and to promote the study of and interest in Canadian parliamentary institutions.

  • 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.
