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 selfworth needed to realize a brighter, better future.

Message from the President
W
elcome 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.
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 .
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 Province of Saskatchewan and the
Provincial Partnership Committee on Missing
Persons will hold Saskatchewan’s fourth annual
Missing Persons Week May 1-7, 2016.
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.
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
M
ay 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

Preschool, Family Expo, or basically anywhere
families gather to promote family values, safety
and community.
Thanks for inviting us to your party! Stay Safe.

SUMMER CAMP REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!
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.
Projects
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.
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.
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).
To 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.
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.

The Mentoring Effect
on Crime: The Case for
Mentoring Organizations
A
alternative youth crime reduction strategies focused on
prevention and intervention
services.
ccording to Statistics
Canada, Saskatchewan
led the country in overall youth crime in 2014 with
approximately 13,084 youth
crimes per 100,000 persons,
nearly double second place
Manitoba.
Given the Statistics Canada
data mentioned above, Big
Brothers Big Sisters of Saskatoon is utilizing the opportunity to focus on prevention
and intervention services;
specifically, mentoring organizations.
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 advocacy, 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
Research conducted by Big
Brothers Big Sisters of Canada consistently shows the
positive effects of mentoring
on a young person’s life.
Specifically, mentoring has
been recognized as a protective factor that mitigates life
events such as poverty, mental
illness, or the breakdown of
one’s family.
FACT:
The impact of mentoring is not
only keeping kids in school but also
mitigating the effects of a variety of
different social problems.
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 transformative 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 completed high school, indicating a strong correlation between mentoring and
improved academic, social, and economic opportunities.
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.

WHO IS CNYC?
GET IN TOUCH:
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.
(306) 665-3889
ed@cnyc.ca
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 selfworth needed to realize a brighter, better future.

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 PROGRAM
We are partnering with local businesses to offer
our students an opportunity to gain real-world work

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.

Our 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.

T
he Opera in Schools Tour is a wellestablished 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 powers our bodies
M
agnesium 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, awardwinning* ionic magnesium that mixes easily in water to restore
healthy magnesium levels quickly and effectively.*winner of

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.

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 highcalcium diet.

mmigrant 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.
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 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. To learn more about IAF Canada
or to apply for a loan, please visit us at iafcanada.org.
