Board of Directors

Welcome to our first issue of the

Alert Magazine for 2016. This issue marks our fourth year of publishing our Alert Magazine. I hope you enjoy our magazine and we welcome your

feedback. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who have supported us by placing ads and supplying us with articles.

Many challenges and opportunities have come our way in 2015 and it was a good year for Child Find Saskatchewan. Our programs and services remain our main focus and our goal is to increase our volunteer base throughout Saskatchewan. Our volunteers assist in delivering our programs with the goal of decreasing the number of missing persons in this province. Education is the key to keeping our children, youth and at-risk persons, safe.

The support of our volunteers and donations from the general public in 2016 will allow Child Find to increase the number of programs and deliver more of our services to the people of Saskatchewan. As you read through our Alert Magazine, you will notice a lot more information on our programs, services and events.

Again this year we wish to thank the School Resource Officers who have come forward to help us promote and deliver our education programs into more of the schools in Saskatchewan.

I would like to bring your attention to our program “Connecting Families”, a peer support program designed to help searching families communicate with other families in a similar situation. You can find more information on our web site, www.childfind.sk.ca or by calling us at 306.955.0070 or TF at 1.800.513.3463.

Since 1992 the Provincial Government has proclaimed May as “Missing Children’s Month and every year Child Find raises funds through the Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign. During the month of May, community members are asked to show their support and concern for the issue of missing children and at risk persons by prominently wearing a green ribbon. Local businesses display donation boxes that collect funds for the program. All proceeds go towards our educational and preventative programs and services. For more information on how you can help please see page 7 .

The Province of Saskatchewan and the Provincial Partnership Committee on Missing Persons will hold Saskatchewan’s fourth annual Missing Persons Week May 1-7, 2016.

I would like to thank Darrel Nordstrom from Assante Wealth Management (1st Avenue) who has once again come on board to help promote Child Find’s Charity Breakfast. We will hold our 2nd Annual Charity Breakfast on May 25, (which is National and International Missing Children’s Day.) To make this Charity Breakfast a great success we are looking to businesses, corporations and the general public of Saskatchewan to help us. You will find more information on this event on page11 or at childfind.sk.ca.

We believe that “All Children have the Right to be Safe”. We have expanded our programs to include youth and at-risk persons. We are committed to our mission to make our community a safer place for everyone.

“A Missing Child is Everyone’s Responsibility, as is a missing person.”

May is Missing Children’s Month

May is a very busy month at Child Find SK as we prepare for a number of events. May 25th is International and National missing Children’s Day and also the date

of our 2nd Annual Child Find Charity Breakfast. May 1st to 7th, we participate in Missing Person’s Week hosted by the Provincial Partnership Committee on Missing Persons. Lastly, Child Find dedicates the entire month of May to our Green Ribbon Month of Hope Campaign. This year we are very fortunate to have been invited by the SLGA to, once again, place our green ribbon boxes in the liquor stores across the province. Should you be in one of the SLGA locations in the province, please donate and wear a green ribbon to show your support for missing persons in Saskatchewan. Child Find has been coordinating and fundraising through the Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign since 1992. Proceeds generated in our fundraising efforts enable us to assist law enforcement in the search for missing persons and aids in the delivery and development of our preventative, educational and support programs and services. All of which are offered free of charge to Saskatchewan families.

Green is the colour of hope and symbolizes light in the darkness. We wear the green ribbon to express our thoughts of hope for missing and exploited persons. For more information on the Green Ribbon of Hope and the history of how it came to be, please visit our website at childfind.sk.ca

If you would like to display a donation box in your business, please contact us at 306.955.0070 or TF at 1.800.513. 3463.

Child Find SK would like to thank all individuals and businesses who participate in our Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign. We receive limited government funding and rely heavily on the generous donations of corporations, businesses and the good people of Saskatchewan. We could not do what we do without your help. Thank You.

We would love to be invited to your Community Association Picnic, Safety Day, Parent Group, Preschool, Family Expo, or basically anywhere families gather to promote family values, safety and community.

This is what we do: • set-up a table at the event for the “All About Me ID” Clinic.• provide the custodial parent or guardian with an ID Booklet and a

photo of their child, plus an imprint of their child’s fingerprints or footprints.

• provide room in the booklet to record details of the physical description and personal information about the child.

This is what you do:• call us at 306.955.0070 to book your free “All About Me ID” Clinic.

This is what your guests do:• fill out the physical description and personal information in the ID

Booklet and keep it up-dated along with adding a new photo as the child grows.

• store the booklet in a safe, location, accessible to parents, babysitters and grandparents.

• immediately provide the booklet to law enforcement should the child wander off or go missing so the search can start NOW.

Thanks for inviting us to your party! Stay Safe.Child Find Saskatchewan does not retain any records of your child’s personal information. All information goes home with the parent.

SASKATOON YOUTH SOCCER INC. PROUDLY PRESENTS:

“Thank you to PotashCorp for their sponsorship of this free program for the eighth summer in a row and also Community Initiatives Fund, City of Saskatoon, Xtratime Sports Soccer Locker, and Sask Soccer for their fi nancial support.”

SCI-FI’s summer camp programs run for eight weeks in July and August. We now offer five unique types of camp: Science Camps, Technology Camps, Computer Science Camps, Medical Science Camps, and Veterinary Medicine Camps.

In Saskatoon, we offer a Girl Power program, the aim of which is to promote science and engineering to young women. We also run satellite camps in numerous Saskatchewan communities! Satellite camps contain a mix of projects and activities from Science, Technology, and CompSci camps.

These programs run from 9am to 4pm (though on the first day of camp we encourage participants to arrive at least 15 minutes early for check-in).

ProjectsTo keep our programs fun, interesting and relevant, we create new projects every year! This means that campers coming back year after year will always have a unique experience. During May and June while instructors are delivering workshops in classrooms around the province, they are also busy planning a fresh batch of projects for campers to enjoy.

All projects and activities at SCI-FI Science Camps are designed to be fun! No matter what the scientific topic may be, we will present it in a fun, hands-on manner that makes participation a blast! Some projects that campers create (with the exception of Lego Robotics) can be brought home at the end of the week.

We carry out classroom workshops, community programs, science clubs, and during the summer months of July and August hold eight weeks of camps at the College of Engineering on the U of S campus. We also run camp in over 10 other locations across the province.

For questions or inquiries about the registration process, please call our office at 306-966-7755 in Saskatoon, or toll-free at 866-556-8723.

Experts in the fields of juvenile justice and mentoring have long pointed to the Big Brothers Big Sisters program as a model for working toward positive and achievable youth outcomes that reduce the likelihood of participating in deviant behavior. A strong positive correlation between mentorship programs and youth is illustrated below:

• Girls with a mentor are 4 times less likely to develop negative conducts like fighting, lying, and cheating.

• Boys with a mentor are 2 times less likely to develop negative conducts like fighting, lying, and cheating.

For many participants, being paired with the right participant can be a transfor-mative and empowering experience. Consider Elayna, a Big Brothers Big Sisters participant for the last 7 years.

“Erica gave me confidence to try new things and to be a better person in the community. With her being in my life and a good role model I made good choices. I graduated high school with ease, all thanks to her guiding hand” said Elayna.

Elayna’s story is not uncommon amongst Big Brother Big Sister participants.

Statistics show that 70% of those who enter federal programs have not com-pleted high school, indicating a strong correlation between mentoring and improved academic, social, and economic opportunities.

According to Statistics Canada, Saskatchewan led the country in over-

all youth crime in 2014 with approximately 13,084 youth crimes per 100,000 persons, nearly double second place Manitoba.

Youth crime doesn’t pay but it does cost money, a lot of money. The burden placed on the judicial system, from initial investigation to the subsequent arrest, arraignment, legal advo-cacy, and final conviction of a youth has risen considerably in recent years to the point where the Ministry of Public Safety has begun to actively implement

alternative youth crime re-duction strategies focused on prevention and intervention services.

Given the Statistics Canada data mentioned above, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Saska-toon is utilizing the opportu-nity to focus on prevention and intervention services; specifically, mentoring organi-zations.

Research conducted by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Can-ada consistently shows the positive effects of mentoring on a young person’s life. Specifically, mentoring has been recognized as a protec-tive factor that mitigates life events such as poverty, mental illness, or the breakdown of one’s family.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is committed to delivering positive outcomes for youth like Elayna through its programming and mentoring services. However, delivering outstanding service requires outstanding difference makers.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is asking you to be a difference maker. Your donation of time or money will go a long way towards creating positive outcomes for children and youth throughout Saskatoon and area.

Visit www.bbbssaskatoon.org for more information.

FACT:The impact of mentoring is not only keeping kids in school but also mitigating the effects of a variety of different social problems.

At CNYC, we transform the lives of marginalized and high-risk youth in Saskatoon. The youth we work with come from difficult circumstances, and change is a process that takes time.

CNYC offers a variety of life skills and learning programs, with the goal of educating the whole person. Our team is comprised of professional teachers, social workers, and an Elder.

The majority of our participants are youth between the ages of 15-21 who have come from unhealthy and unsafe living situations. Without positive family and peer support, most have not been successful in the education system. Not only that, but many of our youth are involved with the justice system.

Additionally, our youth are lacking the most basic life skills in areas as fundamental as nutrition, hygiene, health and parenting. CNYC empowers our participants with the knowledge, skills, and self-worth needed to realize a brighter, better future.

COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT PROGRAMSupported by the Catholic School Board, we offer a formalized community credit high school education program that aims to transition youth back into the education system. Our programming is taught by accredited teachers and supported by an educational assistant. CNYC teaches the provincially-approved curriculum, offering core subjects such as English, Math, Native Studies and Industrial Arts.

WORK EXPERIENCE PROGRAMWe are partnering with local businesses to offer our students an opportunity to gain real-world work experience. The goal is that when our youth transition from CNYC, they will have practical work experience for their resume. Employers can choose to offer paid or unpaid internships, co-op or work placement opportunities.

DROP-IN PROGRAMSOur drop-in programs give youth an opportunity to learn creativity, community engagement, self-esteem, and sobriety as a path to health, fulfillment and well-being. All of our programs offer basic life and job skills.

BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF SASKATOON Boys and Girls Clubs of Saskatoon provides afternoon supports and programs in our Roger’s Raising the Grade program. Youth gain access to computer literacy, resume writing and more.

TOP LEFT PROJECT A community-based project which seeks to eliminate violence from the lives of women.

CARPENTRYCNYC’s full-service carpentry shop gives our youth the chance to explore a trade. Our targeted skills and safety training builds confidence, competence, and a sense of responsibility.

HEALTH & NUTRITIONThis program provides two healthy meals a day and engages youth in the full process of grocery shopping, meal planning, hygienic food preparation, and clean up.

PARENTING SKILLSWe offer a weekly support group for young parents. The group provides essential support services, as well as practical information and resources.

FIRST NATIONS CULTURE This program is conducted by a well-respected Elder, and includes a popular traditional drumming group. The drumming group has increased overall participation for other CNYC programs.

BIKE SHOP In partnership with the Bridge City Bicycle Co-op, youth are taught how to restore broken bicycles. They restore hundreds of bikes every year and offer them to other youth, free of charge.

The Opera in Schools Tour is a well- established and mandated outreach commitment for Saskatoon Opera.

Since 2001, Saskatoon Opera’s annual school tour has introduced the operatic art form to approximately 80,000 youth, educators and community members. Though the tour’s primary audiences have been in Saskatoon, the tour has also done run out performances to several communities: North Battleford, Dalmeny, Rosetown, Biggar, Humboldt, Davidson, Outlook, Clavet, Viscount and Lanigan.

Taking Opera “on the road” grants us the opportunity to not only to entertain our young audiences, but also to truly connect with them. We are able to bring a professional quality show of significant educational value to the schools. The stories, the beauty of the music, and communicative quality of the unamplified human voice inspires audiences in surprising and unexpected ways.

Through this project, we are able to bring this dynamic art form to many young people who would not otherwise have the opportunity to see an opera. The shows are designed for youth and therefore are accessible. Opera in School’s productions scale opera down to its bare essentials: wonderful singing, skilled acting, well- designed sets and costumes. Our performances happen in school gymnasiums, down on the floor, close to our audiences…. up close and personal.

A cast of 5 or 6 singers, often performing multiple roles, deliver the performance. The orchestra part is played on the school’s piano. The set and costumes collapse down to something that fits in a minivan. Opera on a shoestring to be sure! Saskatoon Opera in Schools present full length operas in 45 minute adaptations or original one act operas. In 2015, our tour show was Engelbert Humperdinck’s Hansel & Gretel, the ever popular tale of two hungry young children who lose their way in the forest only to find a tempting gingerbread house. When the house’s owner – the witch – appears and danger threatens, the children must rely on their own ingenuity and each other. This message resonated strongly with our young audiences. Our talented cast of emerging Saskatchewan artists achieved a professional level of singing. Under Charlie Peter’s amusing stage direction, these versatile performers further enhanced their acting skills. Many emerging artists get their first real professional experience through performing in school shows. Our young artists consider the Opera in Schools experience an invaluable opportunity for their chosen profession. Hansel & Gretel,toured to eleven Saskatoon elementary schools. Through special funds from the Kinsmen Club of Saskatoon, we have been able to include Community Schools in our tour itinerary. In addition, there were also performances in Regina, Moose Jaw and Swift Current.

2016 marks the 200th anniversary of the first performance of Rossini’s masterpiece The Barber of Seville. This spring, we will present The Barber, a 45-minute adaptation by Brent Krysa, last presented by Saskatoon Opera in 2012. Rossini’s Barber of Seville. is appealing to all audiences with its blend of sparkling music, ingenious plot and slapstick comedy and is sure to be a crowd pleaser!

We continue our commitment to extending the tour to include major centres in southern Saskatchewan. We are looking forward to school performances in Regina, Oxbow, Carnduff and Weyburn. Bringing live opera performance to these communities brings Saskatoon Opera ever closer to fulfilling it’s mission, which is to engage the people of Saskatchewan in professional opera through production, outreach, and involvement of young audiences and emerging artists.

The cast members from left to right are: Michelle Hanna, Jardena Gertler-Jaffe, Erica McFadden, Andrea Lett and Lawrence Shirkie.

Magnesium is one of the most important basic nutrients that powers our bodies and is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions. Due to

nutrient-deficient soil and fast-paced lifestyles, few of us (estimated at less than 20 percent) get sufficient magnesium in our diets. This means supplementation is needed, and Natural Calm Magnesium Citrate is the best-selling, award-winning* ionic magnesium that mixes easily in water to restore healthy magnesium levels quickly and effectively.*winner of the 2010 and 2011 Vity Award for Best Supplement

Why are we deficient in magnesium?Magnesium has been consistently depleted in our soils. It has been further depleted in plants by the use of potassium and phosphorus laden fertilizers which alter the plant’s ability to uptake magnesium. Water from deep wells supplies additional magnesium not found in food, but surface water, our common source of supply, lacks magnesium. Food processing removes magnesium. Broiling, steaming and boiling remove magnesium into the water or drippings. High carbohydrate and high fat diets increase the need for magnesium as does physical and mental stress. Diuretic medications and insulin further deplete total body magnesium. As we age magnesium uptake may be impaired. Dieting reduces intake of already low levels of magnesium intake.

Magnesium depletion can be caused by such things as stress, caffeine, sugar, alcohol, tobacco, drugs of all types, high perspiration, low thyroid function, diabetes, chronic pain, diuretics, and a high carbohydrate, high-sodium or high-calcium diet.

Magnesium is vital to the body and a deficiency can mean a whole host of problems. In fact, children with autism may have lower levels of magnesium as when they are given supplements, their social abilities improve. Women who

have gone through menopause also show promising signs of improved bone density when placed on magnesium supplementation. Magnesium even affects the heart, as health supplements have been shown to reduce chest pain and other side effects associated with exercise in patients with heart disease. Finally, magnesium has also been linked to carbohydrate metabolism and the body’s release of insulin, hence the low levels found in those with Type II diabetes.

10 important ways magnesium helps:

1. Heart Arrhythmias 2. Blocked Arteries 3. Blood Pressure 4. Diabetes5. Strong Bones 6. Migraines7. Sound Sleep8. Safer pregnancy 9. Pain Relief 10. Muscle spasms11. Reduced PMS symptoms12. Relieves constipation

Immigrant Access Fund Canada (IAF) is a micro finance organization that helps immigrants pay for licensing and training that they need to get back into their professional

fields in Canada. IAF provides loans of up to $10,000 to support the process of foreign credential recognition in Canada.

IAF Alberta emerged in 2003 as a grassroots organization. It was started in Calgary and led by Dr. Maria Eriksen who wanted to help newcomers to Canada as they faced employment barriers. Many newcomers were faced with underemployment or were working in unrelated areas due to not being able to utilize their skills and experience. A micro loan program was developed that focused on helping immigrants with the financial hurdles involved in achieving licensing and training to work in their fields. IAF’s aim is to see immigrants being able to use their expertise to contribute to the economic and social success of Canada. IAF Saskatchewan emerged in 2012 and in 2015 was amalgamated with the Alberta offices to create Immigrant Access Fund Canada.

IAF Canada micro loans are character based loans. We support people who are trustworthy and of good character who need financial support to get back into their fields in Canada. They differ from bank loans because we do not require that applicants be employed (depends on circumstances), have a credit history or have collateral. Since inception to September 2015, IAF has provided 2078 loans totaling $13,196,095.

A study was completed by Dr. J.C. Herbert Emery of the Department of Economics at the University of Calgary evaluating the income and tax yield outcomes of our Alberta clients. Dr. Emery found that for every public funding dollar that is used to cover the costs of providing IAF loans, there is a return of over $15 in additional income for society. It also provides approximately $3 in additional tax for the federal and provincial treasuries in just the first year after the loan recipient completes their learning plan. According to the study, “The return on investment is particularly high because this one time expenditure yields long term benefits.” By supporting and investing in the skills and abilities of newcomers, our clients are able to expand their economic and social capacity.

IAF Canada’s operates under five non-negotiable values; accessibility, equitability, sustainability, integrity and relevancy. These values shape the organization and staff. IAF Canada has offices in Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Toronto but serving all the provinces except Quebec.
