The influenza vaccine is available to Saskatchewan residents as of Oct. 19, 2020. The Government of Saskatchewan is encouraging everyone to get their flu shot this season to help pre- October 18-24 vent the spread of influenza. FEATURE “Getting a flu shot provides double protection—for BUSINESS yourself and also for those close to you,” Saskatche- wan’s Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “It is a vaccine that is freely available, proven to be safe, and is particularly important this year during flu season as part of our ongoing efforts to mitigate the additional challenges to our provincial health care system from COVID-19. We encourage everyone to do their part to help keep Saskatchewan’s communities as healthy as possible.” Flu shots are recommended for those at higher risk, including seniors, people with underlying chronic health conditions, children under five, and pregnant women. Seniors often have chronic health conditions (like heart or lung disease or diabetes) and weaker immune systems, which makes them particularly vul- nerable to complications from influenza. Flu shots will be available to residents at pharma- cists, physicians, local public health offices and flu clinics. Please visit 4flu.ca for up-to-date information on where and when clinics will take place. There will be modifications to where and how flu shots will be administered this year. To accommodate public health precautions due to COVID-19, there will be increased physical distancing and sanitization procedures. For further information on influenza symptoms and when to seek care, call HealthLine 811 or visit www. healthlineonline.ca

It was the announcement many people have been waiting for. Hockey games can now be played in the province of Saskatchewan. Up until recently there were restrictions on the amount of people allowed on the ice at one time, which made it difficult to practice and almost impossible to play games. A recent announcement by Kelly McClintock, General Manager of the Saskatchewan Hockey Association with approval from the Saskatchewan Health Authority, has eased some of the earlier restrictions. As of October 17th, teams can begin playing exhibition games and league play can begin shortly after. League play will look different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Teams will be in mini leagues within their current leagues based on geography and each mini league will consist of up to six teams. Back to back games will be the norm during the mini leagues as a five-day layoff must occur before teams can play a different club. With travel restrictions in place, McClintock believes that was a big selling point to the Saskatchewan Health Authority. The six-team mini leagues can begin as of Novem- ber first and leagues will go until January 18th. After January 18th mini leagues will increase to eight teams. McClintock does add however these plans are contingent on the spread of the coronavirus. If case numbers go up, numbers get scaled back and this will determine how playoffs are coordinated. Restrictions are a little tighter for the Saskatche- wan Junior Hockey League. They will have restrictions on attendance but they will have to follow the same mini league restrictions as well. The Melville Millionaires will battle their archrivals from Yorkton in four preseason contests. The other action in preseason sees Weyburn and Estevan face off in a highway 39 show down; LaRonge tangle with Flin Flon, Notre Dame square off against Humboldt, Battlefords battle Kindersley and Melfort collide with Nipawin. The regular season is expected to open November second weekend. While interprovincial and tournament play is still not allowed, this is certainly a step in the right direction for hockey in Saskatchewan. A step towards nor- malcy, in what has been a very abnormal year. SUBMIT NEWS OR SPORTS Do you have news, sports or a photo you’d like to submit for publication?
