South East Cornerstone Board of Education Annual Report – 2015-16 – Page 5 SCHOOL DIVISION PROFILE About Us South East Cornerstone Public School Division was officially formed in 2006 with the amalgamation of six school divisions in southeastern Saskatchewan. The Division is rural/urban in its geographic structure with 39 schools in 27 communities and an approximate enrollment of over 8,000 students. With headquarters nestled in Weyburn, South East Cornerstone Public School Division serves communities from the Manitoba border in the east, to Ogema in the west, to Rocanville and Fillmore in the north and the United States border in the south. The Division encompasses a wide area of southeast Saskatchewan and sits on approximately 31,000 square kilometers – roughly the size of the Vancouver Island. The ten member Board consists of six trustees elected from six rural subdivisions and four elected from the cities of Weyburn and Estevan. Southeast Saskatchewan has a diverse economy. Much of the South East Cornerstone Public School Division is rural, punctuated by several large towns and two cities, Estevan and Weyburn. The Division is home to three First Nation reserves on Pheasant Rump, Ocean Man and White Bear.

  • The Kerr Investigation: Executive Summary
    THE KERR INVESTIGATION: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kerr Investigation: Final Report | 2 The Kerr Investigation: Final Report | 3 THE KERR INVESTIGATION: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CLIMATE CHANGE AND CO2 Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas. While carbon dioxide emissions naturally occur in the environment, there is a widespread belief that human activities are disturbing the natural exchange of carbon between the geosphere, the biosphere, the oceans and the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels for power production, heating, industry and transportation continue to raise the level of CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere resulting in climate change by trapping a portion of the sun’s heat and causing the earth’s surface to warm. In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), representing 2,500 scientists from more than 30 countries, concluded that there is 90 per cent likelihood that global warming has been caused by human industrial activity. The Panel identified Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as one of the most promising near term technologies for the rapid reduction of global CO2 emissions. This fall an in-depth study conducted by the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project verified these results. A scientific team led by physics professor Richard Muller of the University of California, Berkley and senior faculty scientists at the Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory confirmed that the Earth’s temperature has risen by 1 degree Celsius since the 1950s. The research team compiled information available from 1800 to 2009. Today, scientists, governments and industry worldwide are working together to reduce the impact of CO2 on Earth’s environment, stopping potentially irreversible climate changes.

  • Strike at the Mississippian Carbonate Factory
    Strike at the Mississippian Carbonate Factory: Sequence Boundaries within the Mississippian Carbonates of Southeast Saskatchewan J.H.Lake, Lake Geological Services Inc, Swift Current, Sask. S9H 3W8 The depositional cyclicity of Mississippian Carbonates in the Williston Basin is well documented. Major Sequence Boundaries attests to near complete drainage of the basin (ie. top of Alida Beds / Kisbey Sands interval). Sea level drops of shorter duration also record repeated devastating shutdowns of the Carbonate Factory with resulting exposure and erosion. Sea level fluctuation patterns are repeated throughout the Alida, Frobisher and Midale Bed cycles. Repetitions include the Transgressive Surfaces of Erosion at the base of Alida (Handsworth Pool example) and base of Lower Midale (Weyburn Pool example). Peritidal muddy sediments were exposed and eroded and subsequently flooded and onlapped by higher energy sediments in both cycles. A major Sequence Boundary separates the Lower and Upper Midale ( Midale Vuggy- Midale Marly) section. This boundary preserves erosional relief in the order of 10 meters at Weyburn Pool and the total loss of the Lower Midale section to the east at Benson Pool. The Upper Midale section represents a Highstand Systems Tract with potential to preserve low energy shallow aeolian-derived clay-rich and organic-rich sediments (similar to modern Belize coastal deposits). These sediments were prone to dolomitization resulting from restricted circulation and fresh water mixing (Midale Marly reservoir). Vuggy porosity distribution throughout the section further emphasizes repeated shutdowns of the Carbonate Factory through time. The Frobisher Beds example from Hastings Pool demonstrates that vuggy porosity developed contemporaneously with sedimentation. Ripup clasts with vuggy porosity are eroded and incorporated in the overlying sediments.
