  • Open Letter Premier
    April 12, 2017 Honourable Brad Wall Premier of Saskatchewan Room 226, 2405 Legislative Drive Regina, SK S4S 0B3 Dear Honourable Premier Brad Wall, I have corresponded with both yourself and Deputy Premier Don Morgan in the past regarding the betrayal and terrible unresolved injustice towards former members of the Saskatoon Police as a result of the Stonechild Inquiry. You replied to me nearly three years ago and advised Mr. Morgan would be contacting me. I have not heard from Mr. Morgan nor yourself. Our pleas continue to be ignored. As noted in previous correspondence and conversations we have carefully documented new evidence regarding the short sightedness and wrongfulness of the Stonechild Inquiry. This evidence clearly reveals the truth and how evidence was concealed, distorted and/or manipulated, causing personal and professional failure. We kindly request you personally intervene immediately and appoint an out of province Federal Justice with subpoena and resolution authority to review what we have documented. We will co-operate fully in providing all details of new evidence and information. We invite you to attend investigative journalist Candis McLean’s book signing of “When Police Become Prey” on Saturday April 22, 2017 at the Canadian Club, 2148 Connaught Street, Regina from 2-5pm or on Monday April 24, 2017 at the ANAVETS Club at 359-1st Avenue North Saskatoon from 7-9pm. We look forward to your response. Thank you. Yours truly, Dave Scott Saskatoon Police Chief, retired [email protected] h 587-269-0335 c 780-916-8250 cc:

  • IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dec. 5, 2014
    IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dec. 5, 2014 Education NEW K-12 SCHOOL BREAKING GROUND IN LANGENBURG Today Melville-Saltcoats MLA Bob Bjornerud, on behalf of Education Minister Don Morgan, joined students, dignitaries and representatives from the Good Spirit School Division to celebrate the start of construction on the brand new school in Langenburg. The Government of Saskatchewan has committed $23 million toward this project. “This new school will offer a modern learning environment for students in the growing community of Langenburg,” Bjornerud said. “The success of each and every Saskatchewan student is a high priority for our government, and we know that building schools and investing in education will positively impact the future of all students and early learners.” Designed with an innovative approach, the new school will be equipped with room for almost 400 students ranging from Pre- Kindergarten to Grade 12 and will feature open concept learning spaces allowing for more natural light, a large gymnasium and multi-purpose room that are connected to a large stage, a fitness room, practical and applied arts spaces and a science lab. “Any type of major construction in a community is a welcome addition but, sincerely, there can’t be anything more exciting than building an entirely new school from scratch,” Good Spirit School Division Board Chair Lois Smandych said. “If you close your eyes and imagine what will be standing here in less than two years, you can practically see and feel the profound difference this will have for our students.” Students Alanna Decorby and Breanna Popp represented the Langenburg High School student body as well as the graduating class of 2017, the first class that will graduate from the new school.
