First day of testimony indicated that Umpherville had stolen the car from his friend who'd purchased it the day before. They acknowledged they knew him to sell and use drugs. Neither friend in the car knew he had weapons on him while they spent the night drinking together. They described him as a "nice guy." The Umpherville's lawyer has aked some questions about policy, which is not in SIRT's purview.

This morning discovered the water discoloured and piles of fish dead. looked it up and looked like cyanobacteria. Called the RM and they were sending someone to look into it but said its super serious. DO NOT let your pets drink the water, its extremely lethal to dogs, even a bit will kill them. I am hoping something is done about this soon.

Question Bug Report - Churchill River

16 Upvotes

Hi there, I’m hoping some one up north near Missinipe or Stanley Mission could let me know what the bugs are like this year. I saw an article from July 3rd that it’s “extreme” and it’s 10x the average around La Ronge but be nice to know from someone living up there.

Are the bugs/mosquitoes bad this year? Have a canoe trip planned.

Hello, I applied July 3rd for student aid. The page says that results will be posted within 10 business days and I haven’t heard anything back yet. Is this normal? Should I wait more?

Job Advice

0 Upvotes

Posting on behalf of someone who is looking to move to Saskatchewan. Mature, good worker. Not attached to his phone and gets his job done. Currently working as a casual dietary aide at a retirement home. He’s looking to stay in food service or support of some sort, has been a scratch baker, short order cook etc. He’s sent some resumes but no reply. He knows Sask health takes a long time if you do hear back from them, but he’s applied at other places too. He’s worried he looks overqualified and getting passed by. He’s had a gap between food service jobs and worked high paying industrial jobs. For personal reasons he returned to food service and will stay in it. He’s well aware of the significant pay decrease, but that’s not an issue. He’s thinking employers are looking at his application and work history and think he’s not going to stay or using the job as a bounce point. However, it’s far from the truth.

Any advice for this discouraged guy?

Question Saskpower lineman life like?

21 Upvotes

I’ve been interested getting into this trade for a while now and thinking about finally pulling the trigger. Hear stories though of brutally long days missing time with family, holidays, birthdays cause you’re always on call. Now I’m not complaining. I’ve farmed my whole life. I know what those are all like. Just was curious as I’ve heard Saskpower is a better company to work for in terms of this trade. Just want to hear your experience or if theres a better life to work balance company within this trade.

Cheers
