On the occasion of Father's Day, let us take a moment to honor and acknowledge the incredible influence and significance of dads, father figures, and the memories of those dads who are no longer with us. This weekend, we celebrate the profound impact they have had on our lives, shaping us into the individuals we are today.
To all the dads who are present in our lives, we express our deepest gratitude and appreciation. You are the pillars of strength, the guiding lights, and the unwavering support that we rely on. You tirelessly provide for us, protect us, and offer unconditional love. Your presence and involvement in our lives are invaluable, and we cherish the memories we create with you.
To the father figures who have stepped into many lives and filled the role of a dad, we are grateful for the love and care you have shown the children. I know your presence and influence have made a significant difference, and we acknowledge the role you play in shaping their lives. Your support and guidance have been a source of inspiration, and we thank you for your unwavering commitment.
Of course, as many of you who have lost their dad, it is a day of fond memories. My brother and I were so fortunate to have a wonderful father that taught us so much about values. Father's Day growing up was a happy day, as seeding was complete and there was lots to celebrate.
Let us all take a moment to remember and honor the dads who are no longer with us. Although they may not physically be present, their love and memories continue to live on in our hearts. We reflect on the moments we shared, the lessons we learned, and the lasting impact they made. They may be gone, but their spirit remains with us, guiding us as we navigate life's journey.
On this Father's Day, let us come together to express our love, gratitude, and appreciation for all the dads, father figures, and those dads who are no longer with us. May we cherish the time we have with them, value the lessons they teach us, and continue to carry their legacy forward.

eHEALTH REMINDS RESIDENTS TO ENSURE PERSONAL INFORMATION IS CURRENT AHEAD OF FALL HEALTH CARD RENEWAL
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.
