Northern Nursing Program Nursing Program Northern 2016 Annual ReportAnnual Introduction In September 2012, the College of Nursing began offering a full Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree in Ile-a-la-Crosse and La Ronge. In order to keep our regional stakeholders informed about our programming in the past, we have provided semi-annual reporting on program indicators, such as student numbers and success rates, clinical placements, outreach and relevant research activities. Going forward, we are now moving to an annual reporting cycle, as we have developed additional and complementary means to communicate with our stakeholders in the Northern Administrative District. We hope you enjoy this 2016 Annual Report.

  • Final Report
    Recovering Scrap Metal from Northern Communities in Saskatchewan Final Project Report Prepared by Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council March 31, 2007 A project funded by Government of Canada Climate Change Mitigation Program Northern Saskatchewan Scrap Metals Project 2 Background Metal recycling in the southern half of Saskatchewan is fairly well established. Most municipal landfills have a designated area for scrap metals. Some recycling programs include household metals. The collection and recycling of scrap metal from northern communities is hampered by transportation distances and lack of infrastructure. There are metal stockpiles in Saskatchewan’s north, but their locations and volumes have not been systematically catalogued. In addition, there is currently no plan in place to address either the legacy piles or the ongoing accumulation of such materials. Project Objectives The objectives of this project were: • to locate and quantify the extent of metals stockpiled in northern Saskatchewan communities • to conduct a pilot to remove scrap metal from selected communities in order to determine the associated costs of scrap metal recovery in northern Saskatchewan • to investigate potential transportation options, including transportation corridors and backhaul options, to move scrap metals from northern communities to southern markets • to develop an implementation plan for the province that will include recommendations and creative ways of overcoming the barriers to increased recycling of northern/remote scrap metal • to seek the commitment from partners to embrace the scrap metal recovery plan with a view towards ongoing support Results Steering Committee The first task of the project was to bring together a steering committee composed of those knowledgeable about northern communities and those knowledgeable about scrap metal issues.

    Environmental Impact Assessment Notice Section 11 of The Environmental Assessment Act (Saskatchewan) GLR Resources Inc. Goldfields Open Pit Mine and Mill, Lake Athabasca GLR Resources Incorporated is proposing open pit mining of the former Box mine deposit at the Goldfields site near Neiman Bay on Lake Athabasca, southeast of Uranium City. On-site milling will use gravity separation and cyanide processing. A lake formerly used for tailings deposits by the Box mine in the 1940’s will be converted to a tailings management pond. A waste rock / ore reject disposal area will be established. Existing road access to the site from Uranium City will be used. GLR requires approval under The Environmental Assessment Act (Saskatchewan) before they can proceed to licensing the project. GLR was directed to conduct an environmental impact assessment and document the results in an environmental impact statement (EIS). The environmental impact assessment is required to assist the Government of Saskatchewan and the public to evaluate the environmental implications of the proposed project. GLR has prepared and revised the EIS and submitted it to the Ministry of Environment for technical review. Based on the EIS, technical review comments have been produced in accordance with the requirements of the The Environmental Assessment Act. Public comment on the environmental impact statement and the Technical Review Comments is invited. Interested individuals may view the documents at the following locations: the University of Regina and University of Saskatchewan

  • Keewatin Career Development Corporation in Discourse Surrounding the Knowledge-Based Economy and Society
    16 REVERSE ENGLISH Strategies of the Keewatin Career Development Corporation in Discourse Surrounding the Knowledge-Based Economy and Society Frank Winter Ensuring that rural and remote areas in Canada have access to reasonably affordable telecommunications has been a long-standing governmental ob- jective that can be traced back to policies regarding universal access policies for telephony. The early 2000s saw a burst of federal and provincial programs aimed at extending affordable Internet service to such areas. In January 2001, Brian Tobin, the federal minister of Industry at the time, established the Na- tional Broadband Task Force (NBTF), the principal mission of which was “to map out a strategy for achieving the Government of Canada’s goal of ensur- ing that broadband services are available to businesses and residents in every Canadian community by 2004” (National Broadband Task Force 2001, 1). The NBTF’s report, The New National Dream: Networking the Nation for Broadband Access, opened with lofty promises of the sweeping social transformations that would follow in the wake of broadband. The following passage, from the report’s executive summary, is typical of the rhetoric em- ployed throughout: The Task Force is convinced that, over the next 10 or 20 years, the development of broadband networks, services and applications will have a profound effect on all aspects of Canadian life. Broadband will transform the way we learn, the way we work, the way we use our leisure, the way we govern ourselves, 306 Connecting Canadians.indd 306 12-07-12 10:55 PM the way we communicate, the way we express ourselves and the way we care for each other.
