    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.

  • 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.

  • Municipal Revenue Sharing - Declaration of Eligibility
    November 16, 2020 Municipal Revenue Sharing - Declaration of Eligibility The Ministry of Government Relations has emailed municipalities their unique link and password for the online Municipal Revenue Sharing (MRS) Grant Declaration of Eligibility. If you did not receive the email and it is not in your SPAM/JUNK folder, email the ministry at [email protected] requesting the email be re-sent. To avoid having your municipality's Municipal Revenue Sharing Grant for 2021-22 withheld, ensure your municipality submits its Declaration of Eligibility to the ministry and that your municipality meets all eligibility requirements. The deadline for submission of the online Declaration of Eligibility is January 31, 2021. A completed declaration requires a resolution from council confirming the eligibility requirements the municipality meets. Therefore, administrators will want to include the Declaration of Eligibility on the November, December, or January council meeting agenda. Read more about the eligibility requirements Resources for New Councillors Are you new to municipal government? Do you have new councillors? Check out these great resources from Municipalities of Saskatchewan. Elected Officials Handbook To assist council during their time on urban government we've once again produced an Elected Officials Handbook - a guide on who we are, what we do, what you can expect as an elected official, and what's expected of you. We've made the handbook electronic so you can take it anywhere you go.

  • Alberta’S Speaker Engages the Charles Robert (Deputy Chair) Public and Enhances Democracy Philip Massolin
    Canadian eview V olume 42, No. 3 The Politics of Seat Reductions 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SUMMER 2019 Elin Salome Halldorson was the first female elected from a rural riding and the second woman to be elected to the Manitoba Legislature. She was also the first female of Icelandic descent to be elected in Manitoba. Salome, as she was known, was born in Lundar, Manitoba in 1887, shortly after her parents emigrated from Iceland. Salome studied at Wesley College, the University of Manitoba and completed post-graduate studies in the United States and France. She taught languages at a private Icelandic school in Winnipeg where she was also the principal and dean. Salome was elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly for St. George in the 1936 provincial election. During her campaign, she gained popularity by speaking in French, Icelandic, English or German, depending on her audience. A strong believer in the Social Credit movement, she was one of five candidates who won a seat; she later became the president of the Manitoba Social Credit League. She was defeated in the next general election in 1941 by Skuli Sigfusson. However, another Halldorson defeated Sigfusson in the following provincial election. Salome’s younger brother, Christian Halldorson, was first elected in 1946 and served three terms as the representative for St. George until his death in 1956. Unlike Salome, Christian was a member of the Liberal-Progressive party. Christian was born in Lundar in 1891 and was educated at the Manitoba Agricultural College. He served in World War I and upon his return he worked in the insurance industry prior to his election.
