WISHING THOSE GRADUATING AND CONVOCATING ALL THE BEST
Each year it is such a pleasure to have the opportunity to send a congratulatory letter to every grade 8 and grade 12 student in our constituency. Congratulations 2023 grads! We commend you for your hard work and dedication to your studies.
As grade 12 students transition into the workforce, I encourage them to take advantage of the Graduate Retention Program. It offers up to $20,000 in income tax credits to post-secondary graduates who continue to live and work in Saskatchewan.

SPECIALIZED CARDIAC PROCEDURE NOW OFFERED IN SASKATCHEWAN
The provincial government is providing new funding of $330,000 in 2023-24 to establish the Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVr) program, a first of its kind in the prairie provinces. Health Minister Paul Merriman was joined by Intervention Cardiologist, Dr. Janine Eckstein, at the Royal University Hospital (RUH) to announce the launch of the program for performing the specialized cardiac procedure in Saskatchewan.
"We are very pleased this investment makes it possible for patients to receive this highly-specialized procedure here at home, under the care of the cardiac care team in Saskatoon," Merriman said. "This will save patients and families the time and expense of having to travel out of province for this medical service."
The procedure is performed to repair a leaking mitral heart valve that can damage the heart and lead to congestive heart failure if left untreated. This is a minimally-invasive, lower-risk procedure with quicker recovery time compared to the alternative, open heart surgery.
