Utilizing traditional community knowledge as a guiding framework and a qualitative inquiry guided by Indigenous research ethics and Anishinaabe protocols, open-ended interviews were conducted with three key informants and six young people who resided on-reserve during schooling years to discuss their educational experiences, needs and concerns. Based on these interviews, this study brings First Nations student voices and experiences to the forefront to show that on-reserve First Nations high school completion is influencedby significant challenges that are related to the trauma and history of colonization in Canada. F orrnerstudents discussed concerns and challenges in the intertwined areas of the school, family, community, and culture. The research reflections reported in this study prompted the development of a framework for a partnershipmodel of educational support which incorporates the Anishinaabe Seven Grandfather Teachings.

    EARLIER YEARS of the EDMONTON CENTRE Royal Astronomical Society of Canada E

    "The Earlier Y ears of the Edm onton Centre" R oyal Astronomical Soci ety of Canada E. S. Keeping THE EARLIER YEARS OF THE EDMONTON CENTRE Royal Astronomical Society of Canada E. S. Keeping The Edmonton Centre came into existence in 1932, mainly because of the interest and enthusiasm of Dr. J. W. Campbell, Professor of Mathematics at this University. His special field was Mechanics and Astronomy and for many years he gave a course on general descriptive astronomy. At that time the R.A.S.C. was about 30 years old, and was expanding vigorously under the leadership of Dr. Chant, the grand old man of Canadian astronomy. Starting in Toronto, new centres were formed in Ottawa, Peterborough, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Regina, Guelph, Victoria, Montreal, London and Vancouver, all before Edmonton, although some of these subsequently died out. There are now seventeen centres across Canada, from Victoria to St. John's, Newfoundland. A preliminary meeting was held in the Arts Building of the University in January 1932, at which Dr. Campbell explained that we would need 50 members to start a new Centre. In February a petition, with the necessary number of signatures, was forwarded to head office in Toronto, and in March the authorization was granted. That same month officers were elected and a constitu­ tion and by-laws were drawn up. The first president was naturally Dr. Campbell. I was vice-president, and Dr. E. H. Gowan of the Physics Department was Treasurer. Few, if any, of the founding members, except myself, still belong to the centre. The member­ ship fee at that time was $2.00 per year, for which one obtained the Handbook and ten issues of the Journal.

D E A G .C RE NE ESMAGAZI Wascana Park was the location of a unique outdoor theatre experience in mid-March. Come Along was created by Theatre Department students as a means to interact with a live audience during these pandemic times. Steeped in magical realism, the play presented themes of transgression and transformation. It featured original musical compositions by Music Department students Anika Zak and Connor Stewart. The cast included Kaydence Banga, Bronwen Bente, Benjamin Matity, Macey Hay, Tianna Chorney, Owen Westerlund, Billie Liskowich, Brad McDougall, Jadav Cyr and Jiness Helland. Stage management was by Rachel Butt, assisted by Erik Lillico. Music Department students Anthony Merkel, Joshua Stewart and Nathan Syrnick provided the music. The sold-out show had to close early due to more stringent COVID-19 health measures. Despite the early closure, Media, Art and Performance faculty member Shannon Holmes congratulated the cast and crew and said the experience was a magical, playful romp of a fairy tale for grown-ups. She added it was lovely to remember what it’s like to play live and see some joy on a spring evening. Photo by Trevor Hopkin, University of Regina Photography Department.

    Cystic Fibrosis Canada Ontario Suite 800 – 2323 Yonge Street Toronto, ON M4P 2C9 416.485.9149 ext. 297 [email protected] www.cysticfibrosis.ca Hon. Patty Hajdu Minister of Health Government of Canada February 27, 2021 Dear Minister Hajdu, We are members of an all-party caucus on emergency access to Trikafta, a game-changing therapy that can treat 90% of the cystic fibrosis population. We are writing to thank you for your commitment to fast- tracking access to Trikafta and to let you know that we are here to collaborate with you in this work. We know that an application for review of Trikafta was received by Health Canada on December 4th, 2020 and was formally accepted for review on December 23rd. We are also aware that the Canadian Agency for Drugs Technologies in Health (CADTH) body that evaluates the cost effectiveness of drugs is now reviewing Trikafta for age 12 plus for patients who have at least one F508del mutation. This indicates that Trikafta was granted an ‘aligned review,’ the fastest review route. The aligned review will streamline the review processes by the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board (PMPRB) to set the maximum amount for which the drug can be sold, and by Health Technology Assessment bodies (CADTH and INESSS) to undertake cost-effective analyses, which can delay the overall timeline to access to another 6 months or more. An aligned review will reduce the timelines of all of these bodies to between 8-12 months or sooner. But that is just one half of the Canadian drug approval system.
