What a perfect day last Saturday in Wallace Park, in the heart of Willowgrove for the WUHCA Fun Day.
It was heartwarming to see the incredible WUHCA Executive and other volunteers that worked to make this day so enjoyable for families in our community.
It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to visit so many people.
Thanks as well to the Saskatoon Fire and Police Service for their attendance, along with Medavie Health Services.
This is what community is all about.
A new Saskatchewan Polytechnic campus in Saskatoon will transform an existing network of 11 decentralized, outdated buildings into a revitalized complex that offers modern, technology-rich learning for students and greater opportunities for applied research and investment.
The new campus will be located at Innovation Place on the University of Saskatchewan campus.
The Government of Saskatchewan made the announcement today in partnership with the two post-secondary institutions. The province is committing up to $200 million to the project, pending successful completion of planning deliverables.
"This visionary project will attract more students, talent and investment to Saskatoon and the province," Advanced Education Minister Gordon Wyant said. "It will help prepare more job-ready graduates who can support vital public services like health care and contribute to Saskatchewan's strong, growing economy and long-term prosperity."

Saskatoon Churchill - Wildwood MLA Lisa Lambert, on behalf of Health Minister Everett Hindley, joined representatives from the Saskatchewan Health Authority and the Royal University Hospital Foundation for the grand opening of the Seizure Investigation Unit in Saskatoon
Saskatchewan patients living with seizure disorders or epilepsy now have a dedicated Seizure Investigation Unit (SIU) to access enhanced monitoring and diagnostic services, located at Saskatoon's Royal University Hospital (RUH).
The SIU is a highly-specialized and controlled environment that allows neurologists and other physicians to monitor brain activity in patients for a certain period. This typically includes performing surgical interventions to gather important information, such as the nature and origin of seizures.
A total of $2.2 million was spent to renovate and furnish the SIU. The Royal University Hospital Foundation (RUHF) contributed $1.2 million in funding to cover capital and equipment costs for the SIU, with the Government of Saskatchewan providing the remaining $1 million. The government will be investing $1.35 million in annual operational funding in the SIU.
"Having a modernized, comfortable and fully equipped unit to safely assess serious neurological disorders is vital for determining the best treatment options for each patient," Prince Albert Northcote MLA Alana Ross said on behalf of Health Minister Everett Hindley. "Saskatchewan patients will be able to access the care they need sooner and we are really pleased RUHF was able to provide significant support for this project."
