A community foundation is like a conversation between donors and charities. On the one hand, you have the many voices of donors, speaking their vision of a better Saskatoon. On the other hand, you have the many programs of the charities, expressing their contribution to our quality of life. As the staff of the Saskatoon Community Foundation, it is our great privilege to be the hosts of many of these conversations, helping to connect the passion and vision of donors to the direct, street levels results produced by our charitable programs. We are here to explain the process, help donors and charities with similar interests to come together and start their own conversations, play a role in granting funds to great projects, and offer advice or assistance to get things started. It is an incredibly rewarding place to work, because we get to play our own small role in so many wonderful acts of generosity and compassion. We have many years’ experience in our areas of expertise, and take seriously our responsibility to bring together donors and the causes close to their hearts. Connect with us online or drop by for a chat - the coffee is always on!

Of course, there are many ways to help the community, but how can we know we are making a difference? Community foundations tend to have a broad approach, typically funding many types of work through many different grants. By granting to support the “early years,” SCF can help ensure healthy development in early childhood and a strong community in the future. Through consultation with experts and the body of research, it was decided that the best opportunity to make an impact on the quality of life in the community was by making grants to help the youngest citizens of Saskatoon, during the first 2000 days of life. During this period, children learn crucial skills and social patterns that will affect their lives in the years to come. By granting to support the “early years,” SCF can help ensure healthy development in early YMCA SOUTH CHILDCARE childhood and a strong community in the future.

This being the day appointed by Proclamation of His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, dated February 23, 1978 for meeting of the Fifth Session of the Eighteenth Legislative Assembly of the Province of Saskatchewan, and the Assembly having met: Mr. Speaker informed the Assembly that he had received a communication from the Private Secretary of His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, stating that His Honour would open the Session at three o’clock p.m. today, Monday, the Sixth day of March, 1978. 3:03 o’clock p.m. His Honour the Lieutenant Governor entered the Chamber and, having taken his seat upon the Throne, was pleased to open the Session with the following Speech:— MR. SPEAKER, MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY: It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Fifth Session of the Eighteenth Legislature of Saskatchewan. THE ECONOMY AND THE NATION My Government believes that Canada needs a new national economic policy. Since the last Session my Ministers have participated in a number of federal-provincial meetings with the objective of finding ways to improve the performance of the Canadian economy. In the coming months my Government will urge governments at all levels: — to proceed with the recommendations of the Hall Report; — to launch major electric power projects; — to develop our petroleum resources; all with a view to creating jobs today so that we may have energy and other needed services tomorrow. You will be asked to approve measures to stimulate the small business sector in Saskatchewan.

    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF SASKATCHEWAN Second Session — Eighteenth Legislature Friday, March 12, 1976. 10:00 o’clock a.m. This being the day appointed by Proclamation of His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, dated the first day of March, 1976 for meeting of the Second Session of the Eighteenth Legislative Assembly of the Province of Saskatchewan, and the Assembly having met: Mr. Speaker informed the Assembly that he had received a communication from the Private Secretary of His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor stating that His Honour would open the Session at 10:00 o’clock a.m. today, Friday, the twelfth day of March, 1976. 10:01 o’clock a.m. His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor entered the Chamber and having taken his seat upon the Throne, was pleased to open the Session with the following speech: — Mr. Speaker, Members of the Legislative Assembly: It is my privilege to welcome you to the Second Session of the Eighteenth Legislature of Saskatchewan. THE ECONOMY AND INFLATION The halting performance of the Canadian economy in 1975 was confirmed last week when the Federal Government released figures showing virtually no growth in real terms over 1974. It was Canada’s worst year, in relative terms, in over two decades. In contrast, the Saskatchewan economy - spurred by record farm incomes and high resource revenues - achieved a new level of performance. Our gross provincial product for the first time exceeded $6 billion. Although the outlook in Saskatchewan for 1976 is for continued growth at a somewhat more moderate pace, the threat of unchecked inflation is for us, as for all of Canada, the most urgent problem to be faced.
  • The Crown in the Provinces: Canada's Compound Monarchy

    The Crown in the Provinces: Canada's Compound Monarchy

    THE CROWN IN THE PROVINCES: CANADA’S COMPOUND MONARCHY Michael Jackson and Lynda Haverstock1 Canada: a “compound monarchy” (Smith, D.E., 1995, 12). This succinct phrase by David E. Smith, dean of Canadian scholars of the Crown, neatly sums up a key dimension of the constitutional monarchy in Canada. We contend that the Crown is an institution belonging jointly to the central and provincial governments and that it is crucial to the co-sovereign status of the provinces in Confederation. It is, therefore, of vital interest to the Province of Quebec and holds promise for First Nations’ governance. This aspect of our nation’s constitutional monarchy merits far more examination by scholars and policy-makers than it has received. Attention to the Crown in Canada – and attention there has recently been – has focused primarily on the Office of the Governor General. In part, this stems from a spotlight on the federal vice-regal reserve powers of dissolution and prorogation in 2008 and 2009 (Russell and Sossin, 2009). In addition, there has been debate in the media about the appropriateness of using the term “Head of State” in reference to the Governor General. In most cases, those who call for the end of the monarchy ignore its vital provincial dimension. Few commentators have drawn attention to the provincial Crown and the Lieutenant Governors who embody it; among those few are Michael Valpy and Ian Holloway (Valpy 2009). The present paper will discuss what we call the “provincial Crown” and how it evolved. By doing so, we will make the case that it is integral to how Canada has evolved as a fascinating federation and that to ignore its significance diminishes thoughtful discourse on the nation’s strengths.

    Appendix 10 City of Saskatoon Naming Advisory Committee Community Services Qepartment, Planning &Development Branch 222 — 3~d Avenue North Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7K 015 August 5, 2Q19 Dear Committee Members: Re: (Donald) Murray Montague (March, 1037 —April, 2010) It is my pleasure to add my name to those who have submitted Murray Montague for consideration of Street Naming in our fine city. Although Murray has passed away, his enduring legacy warrants ongoing acknowledgement. Many came to know this amiable, highly civilized man because of his years as Deputy Chief of the Saskatoon Police Service. One of his inspiring contributions was implementing the School Safety Program, which still exists. I first met Murray when he was an Aide de Camp to Her Honour Sylvia Fedoruk. This important role in service of the Crown is only filled by those considered outstanding in one of the three arms of the military, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Police Services. By the time I had become Lieutenant Governor, Murray had been the Principal Driver for His Honour Jack Wiebe, a position he continued for six and a half years with me. This individual was the consummate gentleman, a kind, thoughtful professional who was well- read and articulate. He was deeply admired because of his demeanor. In 2004, I presented him with the Vice-Regal Commendation for his outstanding devotion and exemplary service. A Lieutenant Governor is permitted to give only one such award in his/her tenure and Murray Montague was my choice. I would be mast grateful if the Committee saw fit to recognize this special citizen of Saskatoon in a permanent way.

They overcame incredible hardships, and this is a way to honour them for generations to come. From agriculture and industry, to politics, academia and culture, they and their descendants helped build this province. I am so proud every one of my colleagues supported the call to celebrate the Ukrainian community’s tremendous contributions.” (Deron Bilous, Alberta's Minister of Economic Development &Trade) Noteworthy, 2016 has become another crucial landmark in recognizing the remarkable impact of Ukrainian vigorous community, which succeeded in preserving and boosting its heritage values, tradi- tions and language, on all Canada’s walks of life. In this context, this research paper provides an over- view of historians, scholars and community members, whereas focusing on a tremendous role that Ukrainians (such as worldly acknowledged Paul Yuzyk, Orest Subtelny, John Sopinka Chrystia Free- land, Sylvia Fedoruk, Edward Michael Stelmach, Myrna Kostash, and newly known Roberta Bondar, Ann Morash, Petro Neborskij, Oleh Lesiuk) play in the Canadian multicultural society. Owing to their social, political and economic integration, Ukrainians have reached a rather high level of culture per- ception and blending into a mosaic Canadian society.
