"UNABLE TO PROVE HE MADE MISTAKE," Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. April 30, 1934. Page 3. --- Meadow Lake Man Gets Six Months for Horse Theft; Seventh Conviction === By a Staff Correspondent NORTH BATTLEFORD, April 30. - After a two weeks adjournment in which to prove that possession of six horses, the property of George L'Heureux, Jackfish rancher, was the result of an honest mistake as he alleged, T. E. Lanegraff, Meadow Lake farmer was sentenced to six months in jail by Provincial Magistrate S. M. Mighton, before whom he appeared at Glaslyn on a charge of theft.

The horses valued at $600 were stolen from the Jackfish rancher last December. Conviction of Lane- graff makes the seventh in a recent drive by R.C.M.P. here to check up on horse rustling, which is giving considerable concern to northern ranchers.

She said they were saddened by the additional finding and that their work is not over.

“We need to pool our resources, First Nations and Métis, to continue. We need Canada and Saskatchewan to step up, acknowledge and provide meaningful resources that meet the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs of survivors and addresses the intergenerational impacts to families.”

Wolverine, elders and members of Meadow Lake Tribal Council, the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, Métis Nation-Saskatchewan and the office of the Treaty Commissioner made a unified call to action to address the “long-standing injustices suffered by residential school survivors and ensure history never repeats itself.”

They called for the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to be implemented, culturally appropriate memorials in communities and a monument to acknowledge residential schools, healing centres to address the continued harm of residential schools, the government to provide a complete list of residential school students, and a national education journey that goes over the effects that residential schools have had on families.

Canada’s Natural Treasures: From Banff to Newfoundland

Canada, with its vast landscapes and diverse ecosystems, offers some of the most breathtaking natural treasures in the world. From the rugged peaks of the Rockies in Banff to the windswept cliffs of Newfoundland, this country is a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers alike.

Starting in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Banff National Park is a true gem. The majestic peaks, turquoise lakes, and abundant wildlife create a postcard-perfect setting that captivates visitors year-round. Whether hiking through the alpine meadows, canoeing on the serene waters of Lake Louise, or skiing down the slopes in winter, Banff offers a stunning introduction to Canada’s natural beauty.

As you journey east, the landscape transforms into the expansive prairies of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Here, the horizon seems to stretch endlessly, with golden fields and big skies offering a sense of serenity and vastness. The Grasslands National Park, with its rolling hills and native prairie grasses, is a hidden treasure that showcases the unique beauty of Canada’s Great Plains.

Further east, the rugged terrain of Ontario and Quebec presents a different kind of natural wonder. Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario is a haven for canoeists and campers, with its dense forests, crystal-clear lakes, and rich wildlife. Meanwhile, Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains, especially during the vibrant autumn months, offer a breathtaking display of fall colors that paint the landscape in fiery hues.

Continuing the journey to the Atlantic provinces, the natural beauty becomes even more dramatic. The Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, famous for having the highest tides in the world, offers spectacular coastal scenery and opportunities for whale watching. In Nova Scotia, the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island provides one of the most scenic drives in the world, with stunning ocean views, rugged cliffs, and charming fishing villages.

Finally, Newfoundland and Labrador, at the eastern edge of Canada, offer some of the country’s most awe-inspiring natural sights. Gros Morne National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, features towering fjords, glacial valleys, and ancient mountains. The dramatic landscapes of Newfoundland’s coastlines, dotted with colorful fishing villages and iceberg-strewn bays, are a fitting end to this cross-country journey.

Ublaahatkut (Good Morning)

In 2022, the Manitoba-Saskatchewan Conference, in partnership with ADRA Canada and SDACC, conducted a community assessment for the church's work in Nunavut. The assessment highlighted a pressing challenge: the Indigenous communities in Nunavut were grappling with significant health disparities exacerbated by limited access to healthcare and wellness programs. 

Recognizing the urgency, the conference and its partners took some action.

In 2023, the Conference partnered with ADRA Canada and SDACC to provide over $51,000 of program support to Adventists in seven remote Indigenous communities.

In Pond Inlet, Nunavut, an Adventist nurse helped families with high living costs and food insecurity by providing store vouchers.

In Iqaluit, Nunavut, facing severe housing shortages and unemployment, the local Adventist congregation provided store vouchers and gift cards to families in need.

In Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut, an Adventist couple supported the local daycare centre with essential resources.

In Igloolik, Nunavut, Ilisipi, a respected Inuit, provided store vouchers and gift cards to vulnerable families.

In Lac Brochet, Manitoba, an Adventist teacher ran a health club and provided special diets despite limited access to nutritious food.

In Tadoule Lake, Manitoba, seven Adventist teachers promoted health and well-being through community health programs.

In Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, a dedicated couple who run a local pharmacy organized a community Christmas dinner for over 200 vulnerable families, providing not only a meal but also a sense of community and support during the holiday season.

In 2024, the partners raised over $100,000 to continue this support and hired a full-time missionary, Pastor David Bakunzi, with a background in public health dedicated to the work in Nunavut.

Pastor Bakunzi's mission is clear: “It is only through the grace of Jesus that the work of restoration, physical, mental, and spiritual, can be accomplished. Christ's method alone will give true success in reaching the people. The Saviour mingled with humanity as one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, ‘Follow Me.’” (Ellen White, The Ministry of Healing, page 143).

To bridge the gap between the Inuit leaders and the Seventh-day Adventist Church members, a collaborative effort is required to develop comprehensive mental wellness programs and preventive healthcare. This effort involves countless hours of listening to community leaders and understanding their unique needs and aspirations to address health concerns and co-build and co-design sustainable frameworks for long-term wellness.

Pastor Bakunzi's work in Nunavut is challenging but illustrates the power of collaboration and the impact of a well-crafted, community-centred approach to public health and well-being.

The SDACC Indigenous Ministry Offering for 2025 will allow us to continue our work in Nunavut. It will also provide program resources to positively impact the Inuit Peoples and share the hope in Jesus. Thank you for your support and being part of God's mission to spread love, hope, and healing.  By Pastor Charles Ed II Aguilar, President, The Manitoba-Saskatchewan Conference

Two phone apps are helping spark Cree and Dene language revitalization in Meadow Lake Tribal Council (MLTC) First Nations.

Slated for release by the end of January, the apps are part of an MLTC initiative targeted at residents of Clearwater River Dene Nation (CRDN) and Canoe Lake Cree First Nation. More versions of the app will be developed for local language variants in MLTC's remaining communities by June, a news release said.

"Something like this was needed in our communities," said Abby Janvier, who led the Dene project with residents of CRDN and La Loche.

The app teaches its users basic vocabulary tailored to their communities, Janvier said. Her community's app features words and phrases under 22 categories that include animals, clothing and common phrases.

A typical entry also includes a photo, an English version of the word or phrase and an audio pronunciation in Cree or Dene. Janvier said the recorded component helps to communicate unique sounds that aren't shared with English.

"Because our language is taught orally traditionally ... it's hard to teach it just with the written piece of it," she said.

The applications use LifeSpark App Builder — a tool that developer Kevin Waddell said has its origins in Cumberland House in the early 2000s. Waddell was working as a computer teacher at the time and noticed many students couldn't speak their language.

"That bothered me. I wanted to use my skills to help them learn their language again," he said.

Waddell developed the technology as a phone app that would allow other communities to use the tool for their own language needs.

The app is primarily geared toward Indigenous peoples, Waddell said, but has received interest from other groups in Africa and Australia looking to revitalize their languages. Roughly two decades since he began, Waddell said he's pleased to see his work reach students like the ones he worked with in Cumberland House.

There are plans for local versions of the app in English River First Nation, Buffalo River Dene Nation, Birch Narrows Dene Nation, Flying Dust First Nation, Waterhen Lake First Nation, Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation and Ministikwan Lake Cree Nation.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have released surveillance footage of 18-year-old Bryer Schmegelsky and 19-year-old Kam McLeod at a store in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan on July 21, 2019. They are suspected in the shooting deaths of Lucas Fowler and his girlfriend Chynna Deese, whose bodies were found near the pair’s hometown in British Columbia on July 15th, and both have been charged with the murder of Leonard Dyck found at a separate location four days later next to their burning vehicle.

The pair were last seen in Gillam, Manitoba on July 22nd. As the manhunt continues, authorities issued the statement: “It is critical that all Canadians remain on the lookout for Kam McLeod & Bryer Schmegelsky. If seen, do not approach, call 911 or local police immediately.”

July 2019

After experiencing a very small part of Saskatchewan last year we decided it warranted a more in depth exploration this year. So in late July we set off on the first of 2 summer road trips to our neighbour province. 

We first headed to the Waters Edge Eco Lodge in Meadow Lake Provincial Park, where spent a couple of extremely relaxing days walking in the forest, canoeing on the loon and pond lily filled lake, and sipping wine on our deck while watching deer wander in and out of the forest around us. 

After a couple nights in the comfort of the lodge we moved on to Prince Albert National Park for some camping. Summer weekends get busy in Saskatchewan campgrounds, Boating is extremely popular in this lake filled province. I won't say we had the most peaceful camping experience, and after the serenity of the lodge, the noise felt a little jarring. But Prince Albert itself was a nice park with lots of hiking and lakes. The highlights for us were the Waskesiu river and it surrounding moss carpeted forest; and the incredible Boundary Bog, home to many carnivorous plants and orchids. The bog is covered in pitcher plants, with thick mossy hummocks dotted with sundews, and in the wetter areas bladderworts stretch their stems into the water to trap prey underwater

As our trip can to its end we headed back West to The Battelfords Provincial Park for a night. We stopped in at the Crooked Bush to see the bizarrely twisted aspen grove that grows there, passing some truly stunning canola fields along the way. And we had to make the trip 20 minutes from the campground to see the famous Cochin lighthouse. As far as I know it is the only lighthouse in the Canadian Prairies. 

Our trip was good, but we were really looking forward to seeing Southern Saskatchewan next month, on Part 2 of our Saskatchewan summer.
