Saskatchewan’s two cancer centres typical see new pediatric patients coming in their doors about 40 to 60 times a year.
September is Childhood and Youth Cancer Awareness Month which was marked with a flag-raising ceremony at the Legislative Building in Regina today (Tues).
Rural and Remote Health Minister, Greg Ottenbreit says as a parent of a child lost to cancer, along with his own experience fighting the disease, he realizes the effects are not only on the patient, but all of their loved ones.
Gold ribbons are the colour for this awareness campaign, because advocate Sherri Melnychuk says children are more precious than gold.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
