Chapter #59 President

Greetings Fellow Pioneers

“Our focus is our Community

and our strength is our Volunteers”

Happy Spring Pioneers, Now that the weather is warming up, I know we will all want to be outside doing our spring projects and that includes our Pioneer projects. Keep an eye out for a new provincial project, we will “bee” announcing the details soon. Recently, Dionne Wall, Darrell Liebrecht and I attended the Pioneer Leadership Conference in San Diego. It was a great time, we learned a lot, made some new friends and learned more about the new Friends and Family category of volunteers. I am excited about this, I think it can increase our membership numbers and it could even help get new members for our ex-ecutive teams. I look forward to hearing about all the wonderful things you do as Pioneers. Yours in Pioneering Judi Livingstone

SAVE THE BEES

Several volunteers from the Swift Current Club put together over 1000 wildflower seed packs to help the SaskTel Pioneers Save the Bees!! Special mention to: Coordinator Linda Wall

and her helpers Theressa, Bertha, Halle, Jenna, Carrie, Joelle, Dorianne, Melanie, Riley, Cole, Kacey, Shelley, Leena, Sky, Danielle and Paige.

These wildflower seeds will be distributed to the Major Centers of SaskTel and will be avail-able to purchase for only a toonie!! The proceeds will contribute to yet another community project (coming near you).

Each wildflower pack contains a variety of seeds specifically to attract Honey Bees in our Saskatchewan planting zone. They will produce 2 square feet of wildflowers and will grow in either the ground or a patio pot. And as a bonus, these flowers attract not only bees, but hummingbirds and butterflies as well!

Contact your local Club President to get your package.

So get your toonies ready now!

BLANKETS FOR BABIES

MAYBE WE COULD CONSIDER THIS AS A NEW PROJECT

FOR THE CLUBS

H.A.D. Allen Life Member Jan Fehr was approached by her niece who works for Social Services and asked if we could help by providing blankets for children.. When the social workers go to a home and apprehend children there are some-times no blankets to wrap the children in. In the winter it makes this difficult for the social workers to ensure their comfort and warmth.

They made 6 heavy blankets from polar fleece and 12 receiving blankets. There were

3 sessions with a total of 52 hours.

L-r: Jan Fehr, Mandi Woodrow and Tamara Bailey


CHAPTER 59 PROVINCIAL REPORT

In 2018 we achieved approximately 35,000 volunteer hours. Donated $236,000 to the communities in Saskatche-wan. Our volunteer work results in kind is $610,000. These 3 items work out to be over $1 million. Great Job Volunteers.

Main source of income for Chapter is salvage in Regina. As of March 12th, 2019 we have raised $46,500 from salvage.

SaskTel Pioneers, Chapter 59 donated $60,700 to Wounded Warriors Canada (Military Pillar Provincial Project) in November 2018. Wounded Warriors Canada is a national mental health charity whose mission is to honor and support Canada’s ill and inured Canadian Armed Forces members, Veterans, First Responders and their families. They provide a wide range of pro-grams and services for individual members and families affected by Operational Stress Injuries. See page 31 for more informa-tion.

There is a new mission statement—see page 2.

Motion approved to donate $1,000 to AG Bell Association for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing. Funds are used for kids to attend camp at Redberry Lake in June.

IHAP (hearing assessment Program

for premature babies)

that was manned and sponsored by SaskTel Pioneers for the past 36 plus years at the Regina General Hospital was closed as of April 5th, 2019. The Health Region will now provide this service. SaskTel Pioneers have donated the two machines that were in use. It all began on November 16th, 1982 that the first baby was successfully tested by SaskTel

Pioneer volunteers Betty Spence and Phyllis Pearson. The equipment (paid for by SaskTel Pioneers) was upgraded continuously over the years. This is the longest running program in Chapter 59. The program evolved from a sug-gestion by Pioneer Alex Sutherland. Under the chairmanship of Pioneer Mel Burke, a committee was formed and plans were started. Members of that committee were: Harry Allen, Alex and Joy Sutherland, Ruth MacDonald, Mel Burke, Bob Allen, Phyllis Pearson, Owen Telfer and Ken Sartison. A special thank you to IHAP Chairperson Phyllis Pearson; Volunteer coordinator, scheduler and liaison with

the Hospital Joan Fletcher and past coordinator Joy Sutherland and all the volunteers who donated their time and love to these special babies. These dedicated ladies quietly worked every week with no

expectations or recognition.

Members who have been with the program since the beginning are Joan Fletcher, Ena Houston, Phyllis Pearson, Betty Spence and Marg Hegion.

Pens, Pencils & Pioneers!

Pioneers Help Students and

their Families Ease Into the

School Year

Duo-tangs, notebooks, pencils, markers, erasers, glue sticks, scissors and rulers are just some of the essential items that stu-dents need before they head back to school. While some of us can easily check those items off our children’s back-to-school shopping list, others aren’t as fortunate. Luckily the SaskTel Pioneers volunteer to help relieve some stress for students and their families as they start the new school year.

In September, both Saskatoon and Regina Pioneer chapters delivered school supplies to hundreds of students in need. “The schools are extremely grateful for the supplies,” said Dorianne Urquhart, with the

Bridge City Pioneers in Saskatoon. “A lot of those kids come to school without anything, so the donation makes a big impact.”

Supplies were distributed to: Saskatoon— Bishop Klein, Howard Coad, and St. Frances schools Regina— St. Augustine, St. Catherine’s, Holy Rosary and Coronation Park Community School. Pam Appleby, Community Coordinator at Holy Rosary School in Regina said it’s easy to see how beneficial the supplies are to the children. “We have a lot of newcomer families and others who struggle

financially, so it’s nice to be able to help them out with no questions asked,” said Pam, who also participated in the

program last year at St. Catherine’s School. To-date, Pam said nearly all donated supplies have been distributed, but teachers are thank-ful to have some left over in case new students are enrolled at the school throughout the year. “This program is just so important to our communities because students can’t do their best without the proper tools,” said Marilyn. “I think it’s also valuable because it keeps

Pioneers connected to their communities.”

This year the Saskatoon chapter purchased and delivered over $5500 in supplies.

Regina spent around $1500.

We're in Good Company!

SaskTel Named One of Canada's Top

Employers

SaskTel and its employees understand the value and significance of helping the communities we serve. That puts us in good company.

SaskTel was recently selected as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers by Mediacorp Canada Inc. The award recognizes outstanding Canadian employers that lead the way in attracting and re-taining quality employees. Our community involvement was a key reason cited for SaskTel’s se-lection. “There are so many things we do in our communities, both as a company and as individuals,” said Amy Richardson, HR Manager – Strategic Workforce Planning. “Whether it’s the volunteer work of the SaskTel Pioneers or other initiatives like I Am Stronger, Phones For a Fresh Start or TelCare,

we take great pride in our community service."

"Our employees show their generosity in many different ways, and we’ve been giving back to com-munities in our province throughout our 110 year history.”

It’s SaskTel’s commitment to putting employees’ skills to work helping in the community – as well as on the job – that caught the attention of Mediacorp.

“An employer’s commitment to the community where it operates must be authentic and genuine,” said Richard Yerema, Managing Editor at Mediacorp Canada. “Today’s generation

can figure out everything an employer has done in five minutes on their phone – the scrutiny is rigorous, and job-seekers are more selective.”

Besides Community involvement, the Top 100 Employers selection was based on criteria that included Work Atmosphere; Health, Financial and Family benefits; and Vacation and Time Off.

“Being recognized as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers is a great accomplishment,” said Amy.

“An award of this magnitude demonstrates that SaskTel remains an employer of choice, helping us attract and retain talented employees. As employees of SaskTel, we should all

be proud to be recognized as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers.”

SaskTel was selected as one of the Top 100 Employers in Canada.

Bridging the RAK Gap

Pioneers in Saskatoon Show Acts of

Kindness

If you happened to be in Saskatoon on Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) day, there’s a good chance you were bundled up!

As typically happens this time of year in Saskatchewan, the dog days of summer are in the rear-view mirror, and people walk bravely into the crisp pre-winter weather that awaits them.

“It was cold that day, serving as a bit of a reminder of the kind of weather some people might not have ade-quate shelter from,” remembered Giselle Howard, Quality Assurance Manager at SaskTel and the Pioneer’s

liaison with the Saskatoon RAK Day Organizing Committee.

“The wind was blowing, and it was damp out. But the spirits of our volunteers were very high for RAK Day!” RAK Day is organized annually by the Saskatoon Community Foundation which supports a wide range of community projects and initiatives. It’s a city-wide celebration of kindness promoting a ‘pay it forward’ movement in the commu-nity that takes place annually on the first Friday in November. RAK Day is meant to be a fun and simple way to en-

courage unexpected moments of kindness in the community of Saskatoon.

Some of the people we met that day were a bit apprehensive at first, but all of them were genuinely appreciative for the kindness they experienced from our group,” said Giselle. “It’s a great feeling to know you’ve made some small

difference in a person’s day.”

“We’re fortunate to work for an employer like SaskTel where we make a point of trying to improve and impact the communities in which we live. And we do so because it’s the right thing to do!”

This year’s RAK day took place 02 Nov 2018. As the sun began to fall at around 5:30 p.m., 11 members of the Bridge City Pioneers (along with five family members and friends) gathered to hand out 100 pairs of mittens, 50 scarves along with $5 Tim Horton's cards to pleasantly sur-prised passersby in downtown Saskatoon. While many may take keeping warm for granted, the mittens, scarves or possibly a warm coffee, tea or hot chocolate will help to keep people warm as the winter season fast approaches.



All Booked Up!

Moose Jaw CSTs Deliver

Books to New Canadian

Family

CST Kristian Sjoberg delivers books to a customer's home in Moose Jaw.

During a working day, SaskTel Customer Service Technicians (CSTs) interact with a variety of people and see many different things.

On 11 Oct 2018, CSTs in Moose Jaw were working on an install in a home that belonged to a family that was new to Canada. It was during this visit that one of the CSTs (Ekamjot Singh) noted that there were three children (along with their dad) in the house that might be able to use some reading material.

“We run across these types of situations on occasion, and Ekamjot brought the family to our attention,” said

fellow CST Kristian Sjoberg. “The SaskTel Pioneers have a great solution for these types of situations. We have made up about a dozen prepackaged used books.”

The books come to the Pioneers from the First Book Canada program. The program’s mission is to transform the lives of children in need by improving access to educational opportunities. They deliver books to the Pioneers who then have volunteers sort them and add ‘Donated by the SaskTel Pioneers’ stickers to the books.

“We communicated with the family using Google Translate, since we were unable to speak in English,” said Kristian. “We asked if we could deliver some books for the kids, and of course they were happy to let us do

so.” The books were delivered the same day as the install. When they arrived, the kids were delighted.

“It was kind of neat to watch kids stop whatever they were doing and go straight for the books!” said

Kristian. “The family was very moved and thankful for the donation. The kids were busy reading books and going though them all as we worked and even after we left.”

Kristian would like to hear about more situations like these where books could make a difference in the lives of young people.

“We really don’t hear about these types of situations very often,” he said. “If our employees are aware of

families who might benefit from the delivery of books, we would love the opportunity to help more people!”



A Jolly Good Time!

There Was Comfort and Joy the Day

Santa Came to Town

A SaskTel Elf (Lauren Butts) with one of the students at the Santa Face-to-Face with Children with Disabilities event

Somewhere near the North Pole, Santa’s elves are in the workshop frantically putting the finishing touches on presents. On Christmas Eve, Santa will gather Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner,

Blixen (and the lead reindeer with the shiny red nose). He then prepares his sleigh and delivers presents to children all over the world.

Before all of that happens though, Santa gives his crew a breather. Thirty years ago, a tradition began that has lasted to this very day. Santa, along with Mrs. Claus and some of the elves make a very special trip to Regina for the Santa Face-to-Face with Children with Disabilities event.

There were lots of smiles to go around, something that was not lost on Raelynne Merkley, one of the teachers from Kitchener School, where some of the day's special guests go to school. “These are all complex needs kids,” she said. “I’m looking around the room and it’s so amazing to see them so engaged and excited about everything that’s happening today.”

This year’s event took place on 12 Dec 2018 at the Ramada Plaza Hotel which has been a strong supporter of the event for all 30 years. The day involved 37 volunteer elves, including first time elf Jill Mazurak. Hope McCheyne,

who coordinates the event every year, is always touched to see the joy the elves bring to the children.

The day included crafts, games, face painting, balloon making and lots of carol singing

with a guitar playing singer named Burt.

"

“It’s always such a special time,” said Mrs. Claus (aka Phyllis Pearson). Phyllis may have been retired from SaskTel for a long while, but she has been a part of every one of these events which are hosted by SaskTel and the SaskTel Pioneers. She began as the ‘Storybook Lady’, became a ‘Fairy Godmother’ and finally became Mrs. Claus. “It always makes me feel good to take part in an event where we can do something for these kids,” she said. “It’s very exciting for the kids and the parents are always so appreciative. I will continue to be Mrs. Claus for as long as I can. I wouldn’t miss it for anything!”

The same can be said for our jolly friend Santa. Santa (aka Jim Goldy) has been retired from SaskTel for 16 years. But every year, you can find him at SaskTel’s Christmas related events. Besides this event, he makes the trip for appearances at SaskTel’s partner schools in Regina (Kitchener and Sacred Heart schools). He has amassed a sleigh full of great memories over the years. “It’s a great feeling to have the opportunity to brighten the day for hundreds of kids,” he said. “I believe Christ-mas is for the kids. I keep coming back every year because if I can get even one kid to smile, it makes it all worthwhile.”

Very few projects will last 30 years,” said Pioneer Manager Darrell Liebrecht. “For a project to last this long it has to be something that touches people and

encourages them to volunteer. You also need a group of dedicated individuals to organize it



Holiday Heroes

SAEN, Pioneers, SEND & NexGEN

Team Up to Brighten Christmas with

Toy Drive

Delanie Passer, a SaskTel CST, helped to drop off toys in Saskatoon

Christmas is a time for giving and, while the season may not be all about packages and presents, there is a special joy in bringing a smile to a child’s face.

That’s why members of SaskTel’s employee-based networks teamed up to brighten the season for Saskatchewan children whose Christmas may not be so bright this year.

Throughout November, new or gently used toys and school items were collected at SaskTel’s Regina and Saskatoon offices for children attending local community schools. SAEN, NextGEN, SEND and Pioneer volunteers

helped to sort the items to get them ready for distribution to students.

The toys were dropped off at four local community schools early in December: Thomson and Rosemont elementary schools in Regina, and Princess Alexandra and St. Michael’s in Saskatoon.

“This year’s toy drive for children in need is just one example of how SaskTel employees support local communities,” said Jennifer McLeod, Human Resources Manager - Organizational Development. “We are thrilled to see all the smiles on the faces of students who received toys, and this is all possible because of SaskTel volunteers and em-ployee donations!” At Thomson Community School, toys gifted by SaskTel employees were given to the school’s Toy Store which al-lows families to purchase toys at a fraction of the retail cost. Everything is priced between 5 cents and 5 dollars and all proceeds from sales go towards classroom trips, math and literacy resources, or special events for students. “For the past couple years, SaskTel employees have collected toys for Thomson Community School's Toy Store and it is greatly appreciated by our staff and students,” said Angel Hayden, Thomson School’s Community Coordinator.

“The majority of our students come from low income families and if it wasn't for your employees collecting toys for us, many of our students would not receive a gift or be able to buy something for their families.

Your donations make their Christmas a little more special.” At St. Michael’s, teachers and staff know there are some students in the school community who are faced with the possibility of having Christmas without a single gift. The toys provided by SaskTel employees allow them to share the spirit of the season with those students who need it the most.

“We are aware of the financial status of most of our families, but just as can happen with any family in any part of Saskatoon, neither we nor a family can control when a job might be lost, or a business might be shut

down,” explained Principal Mike Thorson. “Thank you for your support, which in turn allows us to directly and immediately support our children, and our families.”

Along with the successful toy drive, volunteers collected a number of new and good used condition winter outerwear during their separate clothing drive. Items collected included children’s scarves, mittens, jackets, ski pants, as well as winter boots.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and donated items!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas indeed!



Comfort and Joy

PJ Donation Helps Saskatchewan

Kids Sleep Easy—Yorkton

Yorkton Pioneer Charlotte Ross-Koteck (r) and Tryna Odland of Yorkton Big Brothers Big Sisters with some of the pajamas

from their pajama drive.

For many children, getting a new pair of pajamas at Christmas is a much-anticipated family tradition. Not only is it a fun way to welcome the holidays, a warm set of PJs brings comfort like nothing else. But, for some Saskatchewan families, new pajamas can be a luxury they simply can’t afford.

This past holiday season, the Yorkton Pioneers set out to make the season a little brighter for kids who may be in difficult situations. As part of their holiday giving, the Yorkton Pioneers contributed $500 of their

annual budget toward a pajama drive put on by the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area. At the same time many of us were completing our own holiday shopping, SaskTel Pioneer Charlotte Ross-Koteck was busily looking for sales on behalf of her Yorkton group. Charlotte works as a Customer Service Specialist (Sales/Credit Services) at SaskTel’s Yorkton office and often helps out with local Pioneer projects.

“I went to Superstore and took advantage of their clearance sales and was able to accumulate 63 pairs of PJs for just under $500,” said Charlotte. “It felt great to be able to spread some holiday cheer to local kids.

We are very supportive of Big Brothers Big Sisters and all they do in our community.” The drive was put on so that mentored kids, who often come from disadvantaged backgrounds, could wake up on Christmas morning in the holiday mood, knowing others in the community cared about their well-being and comfort. Another reason? For families on a tight budget, nighttime clothes are often the last thing a parent purchases for their child after taking care of their daywear needs and other necessities. As a result of Charlotte’s hard work sleuthing for deals, the Yorkton Pioneers were able to graciously present bags full of brand new pajamas, ranging in size from infant to young adult, just before Christmas. Irma Van De Bon-Nicol, Executive Director with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area, said that they were immensely grateful for the community’s response to this year’s first annual drive.

“We serve not just Yorkton but surrounding communities including Melville, Churchbridge, Langenburg, Esterhazy, Rocanville and Melville,” explained Irma. “If it weren’t for the Pioneers’ donation, we wouldn’t

have been able to give pajamas to all the children spread out in these communities.” In all, the experience showed that a pair of pajamas can be a big deal. While Charlotte isn’t sure if this is the start of a new Christmas tradition for the Yorkton Pioneers, she’s thrilled she had a chance to be part of it.

“We’re really looking forward to seeing how the community builds on this first year.”



Keith Grill (l) and Crawford McKee at the Computers for Schools building in Regina

In Schools, Not Landfills!

Computers for Schools Program

Continues to Grow

In 1993, SaskTel began a partnership with the Computers for Schools (CFS) program. Crawford McKee remembers it well.

“The Federal Government (Industry Canada) was looking for a volunteer group with a national scope, and the SaskTel

Pioneers were a perfect fit,” said Crawford, a retired SaskTel employee, who is still a big part of CFS. “Locally, SaskTel was gracious enough to provide space and utilities to each of our locations from the very beginning

and continues to do so right up to today.”

“From the beginning, there was a lot of excitement to be able to keep the equipment out of the land fill

and put it in the hands of our kids in school; it was a win-win situation.”

Since the program’s inception in our province, SaskTel Pioneers have refurbished over 70,000 computers and printers. This represents a saving of approximately $60,000,000.00 to schools and libraries in Saskatchewan. Computers for CFS are provided by all Federal Government departments, some Federal Crowns, some Provincial Crowns, private businesses and some personal donations.

When the equipment arrives at the Computers for Schools workshop, inventory is done by CFS volunteers, who immediately do a secure wipe of information for each machine. The equipment is cleaned, tested, and repaired or recycled.

When it’s ready, equipment is distributed to schools, libraries and non-profit organizations across Saskatchewan. The non-profit organizations include those providing social and community services to disabled and disadvantaged groups and indi-viduals, and most recently, to low income families through a special federal program.

“CFS has managed to create a brand that is well recognized across the country,” said Keith Grill, who is Executive Director of

CFS for Saskatchewan. “In our province, we try to maintain a grassroots organization by maintaining a partnership with SaskTel and SaskTel Pioneers that really ties the three organizations together. “

“I truly believe that SaskTel gets a tremendous amount of positive recognition because of the relationship of the three organiza-

tions. Other CFS organizations across the country are no longer affiliated with either the Pioneers or communications companies like SaskTel.”

CFS Saskatchewan has two workshops, one in Saskatoon and one in Regina. Workers at the Saskatoon shop are all retirees, while Regina is a mix of current SaskTel employees and retirees (like Crawford and Keith). The Regina shop also includes em-ployees participating in a Federally Sponsored Technical Work Experience program, which provides paid work experi-ence opportunities to students seeking a career in the IT field.

While it has been around for more than 25 years, it was not till 2018 that CFS became a permanent Federal Program. “Up until 2018, CFS was a series of temporary projects that had to be re-applied for and re-approved every year or two,” said Keith. “This

new stability offers some increased potential for growth in the future and will enable us to evolve with technology and with the needs of education and society.”

To get into the winnings, there are two things you need to do:

1. you need to be a Pioneer member 2. you must enroll in the Pay Day Lottery in which you grant permission to have $5.00 deducted from your pay-

cheque bi-weekly over the course of the lottery period. Retirees can provide a lump sum payment by cheque.

Funds raised through the lottery are divided up between Pioneer Clubs across the province and go into some very worthwhile Pioneer projects.

“Over the year’s money has gone towards projects like Habitat for Humanity, literacy programs, funding projects to health care facilities and care homes, school partnerships, and Camp Easter Seals, just to name a few, says Dar-

rell. “These projects may not have otherwise happened were it not for the SaskTel Pioneers funding.”

Besides having to be a Pioneer member and enter the lottery, you are allowed only one entry per person. Once you sign up for the lottery, you have to remain in the lottery for the remainder of the lottery period. You can join in the lottery at any time during the year, but your chances of winning of course are better the sooner you enter.

“The Pioneers are proud to be able to give back to the communities where we live, says Darrell. “Thanks to the gener-ous support of those who participate in the Pioneer Pay Day Lottery, Pioneers are able to carry on the SaskTel tradi-

tion of giving and providing assistance in many of the communities right across the province.”



Curling & Camaraderie 2019

Another Fun and Friendly SaskTel

Bonspiel Is In the Books!

Winter just wouldn’t be winter without the SaskTel Provincial Curling Bonspiel.

It’s been that way for 64 years now. According to Jeannine Nelson, there are some important reasons that keep bringing employees back.

“Events like this bring people together in a spirit of camaraderie and friendly competition,” said Jeannine, who was one of the organizers for this year’s event which took place in Regina at the Callie Curling Club from 22-23 Feb

2019. “The event also attracts some retirees and it is also great to see folks you haven’t seen in years!”

What starts out as a fun event often leads to important business contacts within the company.

“These events allow people to build relationships outside of work which helps when you have a chance to work with these same people,” added Kevin Knutson who was also on the organizing committee along with Lloyd Johnson, Charmaine Offet and Gerry Weir. “It is much easier to work with someone that you have met outside of work and

even easier to work with someone that you know and have a relationship with.”

This year’s bonspiel featured 14 teams of four people. There was also a team consisting of four members of the SaskTel Executive team (Doug Burnett, Wenda Moskowy, Byron Davis, Sharon Davis ) which took part in one first ever Skins game (6 ends) played against 2019 Bonspiel Committee (Jeannine Nelson, Kevin Knutson, Lloyd John-son, Gerry Weir ). WINNING TEAM was the 2019 Bonspiel Committee members. Congratulations.

The winning rinks this year were: (all winners from Regina except Colin Ylioja from Saskatoon)

Cliff Walter rink (Men’s) - Cliff Walter, Nolan Bales, Colin Ylioja. Kevin Petrychyn

Craig Offet rink (Mixed) - Craig Offet, Amy Stewart, Cory Lamotte, Cheryl Ziegler

Kevin Knutson rink (Open).—Kevin Knutson, Laurel Oberkirsch, Ryan Dressler, Dennis Miller When participants weren’t curling, there was a Friday night social and a banquet on Saturday which featured the presentation of awards.

“We had an East Coast theme this year,” said Lloyd. “There were lots of laughs and it was a great way to unwind after a weekend of curling.”

The bonspiel even has a Hall of Fame. This year’s inductee was former SaskTel employee and bonspiel participant Garry Robertson,

a bonspiel regular during his SaskTel days, who recently passed away.

“Next year will be the 65th anniversary for the bonspiel, so we’re hoping to get more teams out and hopefully some of the ones who haven’t curled lately,” said Jeannine. “We are working towards trying to get some younger folks involved in this event to be able to carry on the tradition.” Stay tuned for details about the 2020 SaskTel Provincial Curling Bonspiel.

This year's SaskTel Provincial Curling Bonspiel brought an East Coast theme to the Prairies.



Dreams Come True!

The New Employee

Challenge Will Help

Saskatchewan

Families

For many individuals and families in Saskatchewan, it can be a struggle just meeting basic needs. Extras such as going to the movies, attending sporting events, or even taking a community art class might be nothing but a dream. Much more than just a business commitment, SaskTel and our employees and retirees are committed to doing what we can to make life better for others who call this vast, beautiful province their home. We also know the power of a

dream and how it can bring people together to rally around a cause. Since its inception in 2016, SaskTel employees and retirees have participated in two successful Connecting with Community challenges. This year, SaskTel and the SaskTel Pioneer network are teaming up once again to launch a new company-wide challenge to better the lives of Saskatchewan people experiencing hardship.

The challenge is called ‘Saskatchewan Dreams Come True’ and employees will have the chance to fulfill dreams for disadvantaged people throughout the province.

“Much like previous Connecting with Community challenges, employees can choose how they would like to contrib-ute, whether they want to bring in items or provide a monetary donation” said Jennifer McLeod, HR Manager (CSR, Diversity & Organizational Design). “We want to make it as easy and fun as possible for employees to give.” SaskTel is working with community-based organizations across the province to select individuals to receive the Dream Come True packages. Employees are invited to donate tickets to events and concerts, gift cards to restau-rants, swim passes, movie theatre gift certificates, or even gas cards. Sports memorabilia such as team jerseys are also welcomed as donations.

“So many agencies are confronted with clients facing personal challenges that they just don’t have the financial resources to meet,” added Jennifer. “To allow a child to feel part of a team or enable a family to enjoy a trip to the

Science Centre can make such a difference and help those who may be struggling to feel part of society.” At the North Central Family Centre in Regina, Executive Director Sandy Wankel explains that families entering the centre often face a number of challenges such as poverty, social exclusion and family instability. The centre was founded in 2002 and delivers a wide range of programming such as after-school tutoring, youth leadership classes, and GED prep for adults.

“Your unbelievably kind Dreams Come True initiative will have a special impact and enrich the lives of people that have limited opportunities in life,” she said. “To a youth that dreams of participating with other youth from all over the city in a dance program, you will give her opportunity to develop her talent and shine

in something that she is able to excel in, creating life changing self-confidence in herself.” In this changeable world, one thing that has always remained the same over the years is the unbelievable commit-ment of SaskTel employees and retirees to generously reach out to the community with respect and a long-term commitment to creating a brighter future for Saskatchewan people.

Pioneers Donation Supports

SaskTel EnviroCare

Laurel Warner (l) (representing the Sask-Tel Pioneers) and EnviroCare's Kendra

LeBoldus discussed the Pioneers' contribution to EnviroCare.

Time sure flies when you’re being green!

It’s hard to believe SaskTel EnviroCare will celebrate their fifth anniversary this year. And thanks to the SaskTel Pioneers, the anniversary year just got a little more special.

“To mark their anniversary, the Pioneers contributed $5,000 to EnviroCare,” said Laurel Werner, a SaskTel

Accountant in Regina and an executive member of SaskTel Pioneers Prairie Council.

“The Pioneers are very interested in supporting environmental initiatives, and the environment is one of the areas of impact we want to address in the communities we serve. SaskTel Pioneers in Regina are happy

to support their planned projects for the area.” The support comes just in time for spring, as the EnviroCare group plans for upcoming projects. Until now, EnviroCare has raised funds for their greening initiatives by collecting bottles and cans at various Sask-Tel buildings in Regina and Moose Jaw. The infusion of the Pioneer funds will increase the scope of what projects can be considered.

“Over the years we have accumulated a big wish list of things we would like to do, but by relying solely on bottle/

can refunds, we were limited, so this is great news,” said Kendra Leboldus, EnviroCare member and Environ-mental Specialist at SaskTel. “Presently, we are in the very early planning stages for our annual Greening Event

which will take place in the summer.” Some major project ideas EnviroCare is considering are:

solar panel donations to a school or group;

creating a ‘Green Space’ in a Regina park with benches and an outdoor shelter;

donating funds to Salthaven West (an organization that is committed to the care and rehabilitation of sick, in-

jured, orphaned or otherwise compromised wildlife).

“We are hoping to collaborate with several organizations to make this year’s event one of our biggest for our fifth anniversary, so stay tuned!” said Kendra.



Tax Time

Pioneers Help Make Filing Tax

Returns an Affordable Reality

The Canadian Revenue Agency partners with the SaskTel Pioneers’ Regina chapter and United Way Regina to host CVITP clinics in Regina.

Tax season is a time most of us tend to dread, but that can be especially true for those of us who may not have the skills or knowledge to feel confident filling out their tax return. When that happens, many people turn to an accountant.

Unfortunately, for low-income individuals or families that might not be an option they can afford.

Thankfully, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) operates the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) that works with volunteer and charitable groups like the SaskTel Pioneers and the United Way Regina to host free personal income tax filing clinics across the country.

“Even if they don’t pay any income tax or even if they don’t make any money, there are lots of reasons for people to come do their income tax,” said Lyle Sampson, SaskTel Pioneers CVITP Clinic Co-coordinator. “We tend to look at income tax, but really what the

form is called is an Income Tax and Benefit Return, so for a lot of the people we see it’s the family that benefits."

"This includes credits like: GST/SLIC, Working Income Tax Benefit, Climate Action Incentive or Canada Child Benefits, refunds of taxes paid and many more.”

Since the 2013 tax season, the CRA has partnered with the SaskTel Pioneers’ Regina chapter and the United Way Regina to host CVITP clinics in the Queen City. While things started out relatively small with just over 1,100 filings completed during its first year, demand for the program’s services have continued to skyrocket; climbing over 450% since its launch. Thankfully, the SaskTel Pioneers CVITP Tax Clinic at the United Way has 35 trained and dedicated volunteers who come back year-after-year to help people in the Regina area get their Income Tax and Benefit Return filed with CRA. At this year’s clinic, the trend toward growth has only continued. Although the growth has been staggering, United Way Regina CEO Robyn Edwards believes that the clinic is a great example of the non-profit’s mission in action, even if the pace has sometimes posed a challenge.

“We’re about mobilizing our community to improve lives starting with the most vulnerable,” said Robyn. “We used to just have a small room where the Pioneers were working diligently to provide the service and with the expansion we’ve had to

change the way we work and make sure there is more space because the volume is just so significant.” Launched in 1971, the CVITP has grown rapidly across the country. Last year alone, volunteers with the program filed over 750,000 returns that resulted close to $217 million in tax refunds and in securing over $1.7 billion of benefits entitlements. Here in Saskatche-wan, close to 450 volunteers from 125 different organizations filed nearly 36,800 returns; generating over $9.25 million in tax refunds and more than $134.4 million in benefits for some 32,000 residents of the province. “Filing a tax return opens the door to benefit payments that can have a significant financial impact on the lives of vulnerable individu-als. That said, for some people, having access to the necessary documents and the opportunity to file their return can be challenging.

In addition, the process can feel overwhelming”, said Jennifer Olauson, CRA Outreach Officer.

“I’ve been with the program for many years and the efforts of participating CVITP community organizations and volunteers, such as the SaskTel Pioneers and the United Way of Regina enable hundreds of thousands of Canadians to meet their tax obligations and

receive the benefits, credits, and refunds to which they are entitled.”

In addition, a CVITP Clinic is being hosted by the Melfort Club of the

SaskTel Pioneers at the Melfort Public Library.


Healing Canada's Warriors

SaskTel Pioneers' Salute

Wounded Warriors Canada With

Generous Donation

Mark Grambo (far r) President of the Bridge City Pio-neers presents a cheque for $60,000 to members of

Wounded Warriors Canada.

We know there are many stressors in the day-to-day work of our military, police and emergency first responders. In dealing with any number of dangerous and life-threatening situations, these warriors often endure significant physical wounds. There are mental health consequences as well. Through the seasons of life, these

Canadian heroes deserve all the care and support they need to heal from traumatic experiences and move forward in their lives with their loved ones.

Enter in Wounded Warriors Canada (WWC), a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and assisting ill and injured Veter-ans, Canadian Armed Forces members, First Responders, and their families. The organization was founded in 2006 with the origi-nal intent to support and improve morale among wounded soldiers who served in Afghanistan. Since its inception, however, the organization’s mandate has grown to where it now delivers wide-ranging programming across Canada. For the SaskTel Pioneers, WWC stands as a leader in mental health and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) programming for Canada’s retired and active service members. On 16 Nov 2018, Pioneer members were proud to announce their $60,000 donation to Wounded Warriors, which represents the single largest donation ever made by the SaskTel Pioneers to an organization.

“From a Pioneers perspective, this donation fits well with our support for the military community,” said Mark Grambo, President of the Bridge City Pioneers and SaskTel Senior Business Planner. “Part of our mission as Pioneers is to make recognizable contributions to our community, and this year we set out to make a

difference for those who have served our country.”

“Wounded Warriors Canada is not just enriching the lives of those in need – they are changing and saving lives and families.”

Scott Maxwell, Executive Director of Wounded Warriors Canada, described how many people in uniform who approach the organi-zation end up taking advantage of different levels of their programming as they heal and build resiliency. Donations from individu-als and groups are critical as they work to expand their programs to more locations across Canada.

“For Wounded Warriors Canada, partnerships make our mental health programs possible,” he said. “This significant

Contribution to those who serve our country at home and abroad is a testament to the Pioneers’ principled commitment to service, community and our Canadian Armed Forces members - past, present and future - and their families.”

During the presentation, Chief Warrant Officer (ret) Darcy Elder, Wounded Warrior’s Director of Development (as well as a self-described ‘Saskatchewan boy’) described his own experience with PTSD and how he and his spouse benefitted from the couple’s therapy program offered by WWC. In addition to its individual and group therapy programs, WWC also offers animal assisted therapy for PTSD, skills transition, and respite care offered through group retreats. Such retreats encourage wounded warriors to connect with nature and each other in a supportive setting. In July 2018, a retreat was hosted at Waskesiu specifically for First Responders who were called to the Hum-boldt Broncos bus crash to allow them the opportunity to pause and reflect on the tragic circumstances they experienced together.

“Wounded Warriors does really great work in our country and

province to help our Veterans and first responders in need,”

said Darrell Liebrecht, SaskTel Pioneer Manager. “Although

the Pioneers provide funds to a number of different charities

year-round, it’s a special privilege to be able to work with

Wounded Warriors Canada. We are proud to support, in any

way, their ability to deliver their life-changing programs.”
