HTA to Support Policy and Practice What Does the Evidence Say? HTA to Support Policy and Practice 2015 CADTH Symposium April 12 to 14 | TCU Place | Saskatoon, SK THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of our sponsors to the success of the 2015 CADTH Symposium. This event could not continue to grow and improve without you! GOLD SPONSOR SILVER SPONSOR BRONZE SPONSORS We would also like to acknowledge the support of our funders. CADTH’s activities, programs, and services, including the CADTH Symposium, are made possible through financial contributions from Health Canada and the governments of: Alberta Nunavut British Columbia Ontario Prince Edward Island Saskatchewan Manitoba Newfoundland and Labrador New Brunswick Northwest Territories Nova Scotia Yukon 2015 CADTH Symposium Welcome to the 2015 CADTH Symposium, the 11th annual pan-Canadian forum for producers and users of evidence-based information on drugs, medical devices, diagnostics, and procedures. We’re very pleased to be holding the CADTH Symposium in Saskatoon, the Paris of the Prairies. Not only is Saskatoon a charming and vibrant city, but it’s also the largest city in Saskatchewan — the province where Canada’s publicly funded health system was born. Saskatchewan introduced the first provincial hospital insurance program in Canada in 1947 and the first free universal medical coverage in 1962. And so it seems appropriate that we’re gathering in Saskatchewan to discuss topics of great relevance to the continued quality and sustainability of the Canadian health care system. This year’s theme — What Does the Evidence Say? HTA to Support Policy and Practice — reminds us to consider the evidence when making decisions about the uptake and use of health technologies. In the three plenary sessions, we’ll hear a wide range of perspectives from Canadian and international experts on what evidence they value, how they use it (or why they don’t), and what else they consider … we’ll also hear what the technologies of tomorrow will offer. In addition, the CADTH Symposium offers 13 workshops, 20 panel sessions, 43 oral presentations, 4 breakfast sessions, and more than 60 scientific posters on a wide variety of topics including patient engagement, pharmaceutical and medical device policy issues, and applying evidence in a clinical setting. There are also a number of informal networking opportunities at the CADTH Symposium, including the Welcome Reception and Scientific Poster Exhibition on Sunday evening, the 1910 Boomtown Dinner on Monday night, and the Awards Luncheon on Tuesday. I hope that you find the discussions and networking productive and rewarding.

You are valued members of the health care team. We appreciate all the work that you do to provide care and support to patients and their families. Thank you to the SRNA for partnering with us to ensure that Saskatchewan is an attractive place for registered nurses to work and for supporting our efforts to build the province’s nursing workforce. Over the course of the past four years, we exceeded our Minister Duncan commitment to hire 800 new nurses and today there are over 940 more practicing across the province. Saskatchewan’s economy is growing and that means we will continue to need more registered nurses and other health care professionals, complete more surgeries, shorten wait times and improve patient care. We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with the SRNA in supporting the needs of Saskatchewan patients. Your government is committed to a health system that provides better health, better care, better value and better teams to serve the people of Saskatchewan, whether they live in urban centres or rural and remote areas of the province.

  • 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.

S4T 2Z6 www.friendsofrpl.ca [email protected] 306-535-9570 March 22, 2021 Honourable Dustin Duncan Minister of Education Room 361, Legislative Building, 2405 Legislative Drive, Regina, SK, Canada, S4S 0B3 E-mail: [email protected] Re: Libraries in the 2021-22 provincial budget The Friends of the Regina Public Library (FRPL) are writing to express our continuing support for not only maintaining but enhancing the funding for all libraries in the provincial budget. Public access to information is a cornerstone of democracy. Libraries play an important role in being open and accessible so that all members of the public can obtain information and resources of many types free of charge. Libraries provide services to the public in general, and also provide specific programming and resources relating to Indigenous people, people with disabilities and newcomers. This past year they have been important in providing safe services to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. Regina Public Library continues to lead the way in providing a cultural hub, starting with the Dunlop Art Gallery and the Film Theatre in the 1960s, and expanding into media and other creative opportunities. With the services they provide, libraries are a unifying component in the growing diversity of our province. FRPL Letter to Hon. Dustin Duncan, Minister of Education – March 22, 2021 Page 1 of 4 Libraries are also key in preserving and sharing important historical resources such as those available through the Prairie History Room in the Regina Public Library, the Local History Room in the Saskatoon Public Library, and the local history collections in our province’s local libraries.

  • Dear SGEU Member: the Saskatchewan Government Is Proposing to Privatize Food Services in Our Adult Corrections and Young Offende
    Dear SGEU member: The Saskatchewan government is proposing to privatize food services in our adult corrections and young offender centres in Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert. This move will result in the elimination of 64 SGEU member positions and could be a first step towards the full-scale privatization of corrections and young offender services. It is a further erosion of the strong public services SGEU members are proud to provide and that make our province a great place to live. Help us stop the privatization of corrections food services. We can make a difference. Our goal is to show government that Saskatchewan people do not want to go down the privatization road. You are receiving this information package to help you take an active part in the campaign to keep corrections kitchens in public hands. The information has been developed to help you understand the issue, and take action by contacting your local Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) and the Minister of Corrections. We also urge you to talk to co-workers, friends and family about whey we need to stop this privatization initiative. This package includes: . A fact sheet - Five good reasons to stop privatization of corrections food services.
