Welcome to ourSaskatchewansummer, the

season we all look forwardto with holiday travel, andmaking time to be out andabout in this greatprovince. With that inmind, let’s remember to besafe and please talk toyour children about safety

on the street, in the parks, in campgrounds, aroundwater, as well as when travelling though airports.Have a great summer and safe travels. For safety tipscall Child Find 306-955-0070 or 1-800-513-3463 orvisit our website at childfind.sk.ca.

We are featuring some activities that Child FindSaskatchewan was involved with in May. As a memberof the Provincial Partnership Committee on MissingPersons, we play a role in Missing Persons Week. TheGovernment of Saskatchewan declared April 30 toMay 6 as Missing Person Week. Child Find attendedvarious community events for Missing Persons Weekas highlighted in this issue.

The Saskatchewan Government has proclaimed Mayas Missing Children’s Month for the last 27 years. Thisyear as they proclaimed Missing Children Month,Colleen and myself were invited to attend the ProvincialLegislature where we were recognized in the houseby six MLA’s - three from the government and threeMLA’s of the opposition. It was a great honour to berecognized so many times that day.

In 1992 Child Find started the Green Ribbon of HopeCampaign and again this year we distributed GreenRibbons throughout Saskatchewan. You will findmore information in the following pages on our involvement in this very important month.

On May 25 we commemorated International MissingChildren’s Day by hosting our 3rd Annual FundraisingBreakfast. Our event was a great success, due in partto the incredible story of guest speaker, Jonah Kent,who was missing for 17 years. Jonah’s case was oneof the first cases that we registered in early 1985.(read more on page 10)

We are faced with many challenges and opportunitiesas we serve the people of Saskatchewan. However, wemaintain a positive outlook with the implementationof our programs into the areas of education andawareness to the issue of Missing Persons, as you willnote as you read through our ALERT Magazine. Formore information on our programs and servicesplease call our office at 306.955.0070 or visit our webpage at childfind.sk.ca.

We wish to thank the family of the founder of OurLady of the Prairies Foundation for their generousdonation and to say congratulations on their 60th

Anniversary. We would also like to say Thank You toSTC for their service and support of Child Find overthe years and we are sure going to miss them andthe service they have provided to us.

While our programs and services remain our mainfocus, one of our goals is to increase our Board ofDirectors and our volunteer base throughoutSaskatchewan. Our volunteers help deliver our programs in the hope that this will aid in decreasingthe number of missing persons in this province. Education is the key to keeping our children andyouth safe.

I would like to thank Darrell Nordstrom, TD CanadaTrust, Assante First Avenue, Child Find’s Board of Directors, our staff, volunteers and all who attendedour 3rd Child Find Fundraising Breakfast. We appreciatethe dedication of our sponsors who are listed in thismagazine as well as on our website.

We believe that “all Children and youth have the rightto be safe.” We are committed to our mission to makeour community a safer place.

“a missing Child is everyone's responsibility.”

There is rarely a dull moment at Child Find during the month of May. Our staff was notonly involved in the preparations for our Annual Fundraising Breakfast but also GreenRibbon Month, and Missing Person’s Week which ran April 30 to May 6. The theme

this year was missing but not forgotten – What you left behind. Child Find Program Liaison,Colleen Whitedeer was invited to speak at the opening ceremony of Missing Persons weekat The MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina on May 1. Colleen spoke of living with the pain ofhaving a missing person in her family and how it affects all aspects of her family’s life. Her

brother, Timothy Charlette has been missing from thePrince Albert area since the summer of 2014. She wasalso able to chat with Minister Gordon Wyant about theissue of missing persons and her family’s struggle.

Take aguided tour inside the renaissance-inspiredcentury old building; and then step outsideto continue your discovery with a self-guidedexterior walking tour. You’ll enjoy theQueen Elizabeth II Gardens and cultural andnatural points of interest along the way.

It took four years to build the Saskatchewan Legislative Building,from 1908 to 1912, at a cost of 1.8 million dollars. The interiorfeatures 34 different types of marble from all over the world; as aresult the building is often called ‘The Marble Palace.’ In the originalspecifications, the Legislative Building was supposed to be facedwith red brick. Imagine that! Thanks to our first Premier, WalterScott, the building is faced with beautiful tyndall stone from theManitoba Tyndall Quarries; be sure to look for fossils in the stone!

Selection of a site for the Legislative Building provedto be quite controversial, many locals did not supportthe plan to build it where it stands today; they foundit to be too far from the people (where the downtownis now). Premier Scott, however, was not about tochange his mind, and the building was built on the sitehe preferred. The surrounding area was designatedparkland.

As a result, the Deputy Premier of the day, Hon.James Calder, proposed that a white light be installedat the top of the dome, and that it should shinetoward the city on those evenings the Assembly wassitting, thereby appeasing the people and makingthem feel more connected to the legislature. PremierScott countered by proposing that the light shouldshine in all four directions, confident that one daythe city would expand on all four sides of the building.To this day a bright white light shines in all fourdirections from the lantern atop the dome, whenthere are evening sittings of the Legislative Assembly.

This photo of the dome with its new coppercladding was taken last summer after the completionof its significant refurbishment. Only a year old, thenew shiny copper has oxidized considerably, dueto our climate. In a few more months the copperwill be right back to the dark green/black colour weare accustomed to. Ottawa’s climate is slightlydifferent - that’s why the copper on ParliamentHill has oxidized to a much lighter green.

Found After 17 years. Jonah Kent tells his story at the 3rd Annual Child Find Fundraising Breakfast - of being bounced from town totown and state to state. He never went to school but learned threelanguages and became a brilliant craftsman. That was the childhoodexperience of Jonah Kent who was abducted by his father in Floridawhen he was two years old. He did not know that he was missing and

he did not contact his mother for over 17 years. His story is fascinating.

SUMMER 201710

Jonah Kent was our special guest at the 3rd AnnualFundraising Breakfast for Child Find Saskatchewan,held at TCU Place on May 25, 2017 in recognition of

International Missing Children’s Day. Our 200 plus guestsenjoyed a hot buffet breakfast, greetings from the provincewith Minister Gordon Wyant and from the Saskatoon PoliceService. Chris Krieger from Deluxe Design Group in Calgarywas the host of the interview with Jonah and Child Findpresident, Phyllis Hallatt. The abduction of Jonah Kent wasone of the first cases for Child Find SK. His mother asked forour assistance when she was living in Estevan in the mid1980’s, just when Child Find was incorporated. However,this was 12 years after Jonah had gone missing. We had ourwork cut out for us.

“There were many roadblocks in our way over the yearsthat we looked for Jonah. The laws are different in Florida.A custodial parent can take their child and they are notconsidered missing. At first, Jonah was not included on anymissing persons list so law enforcement was not lookingfor him. This made the search much more difficult,” saidPhyllis Hallatt, President of Child Find Saskatchewan.

Phyllis also spoke of the technology available in 1985. Thetools at her disposal were printed photos, a fax machine,the telephone and the postal system. A far cry from whatwe have at our finger tips today and the speed at whichinformation can travel now is incomparable. But throughsheer determination, a little luck and Jonah needing a drivers’

license which would put him on the grid, Jonah’s dad finally handed him his mother’s phone number. 17 yearsafter Jonah was taken, he called his mother on ChristmasEve. If you ask Jonah about his experience as a missingchild, he does not speak of regret or bitterness. He hasgreat respect for his father despite his unconventionalchildhood.

“I know it’s hard to see it from my perspectivebut my father was a brilliant man and he hadlove for mankind and all living things. AlthoughI lived an alternative lifestyle as a child, it wasn’ta bad childhood. But the reality is, and the onenegative, other than not knowing my mom ofcourse, is the lack of formal education and thathas caused me grief. However, having to learnthings on my own as a child has served me well.If I needed to know something, I'd have to justgo learn how to do it, somewhere, some howand that is what I do today with my music andhow I craft my guitars. I am not afraid to plungeinto new things, learn new skills. So despitewhat my dad did, I was safe and loved, that’smore than a lot of kids get.”

Ogema had decided to start up a traintour because they had the 117 km RedCoat Road and Rail Shortline goingthrough their town from Pangman toAssiniboia but first they needed tofind a train station like the one thatwas torn down when CPR abandonedthe rail line. The only station left inSaskatchewan was found on WalterKlypak’s farm at Simpson so Ogemaapproached Walter to see if theycould buy his train station. Walter hadbeen using the station on his farm forgrain storage for the last 30 years so itwas decided to replace the station withgrain storage - namely two hopperbottom steel bins that the Ogemagroup received from Peter Sakundiak,who had donated one and they paidhis cost for the other one. In June2002, Ogema residents organized awork bee/ family camping event tobuild the new grain bin in Walter’s yard.Twenty-three people participated inbuilding two new bins on the Klypakfarm in two days. That fall, the stationwas moved in two pieces with thehouse and office coming first andthen the freight shed coming later.

Ogema worked on restoring the trainstation for the next two years and forSaskatchewan’s 100th birthday andthe Ogema Homecoming they had agrand opening of the fully restoredtrain station. They had repainted theSimpson Train Station sign and had aplaque put on it and presented it toWalter in honour of his commitmentto keeping the train station intact forthe last 30 years. Walter donated thesign to Southern Prairie Railway,which, along with a picture of Walterand a write up about the Simpson station from the community book,has a place of honour on a wall in thefreight shed. The Walter Klypak storyis a part of the tour of the train stationto this day.

The Love Train concluded their traintours for the kickoff of the first day ofthe season for Southern Prairie Railway.There were 13 couples who made thistrip their date night and three of thecouples were celebrating their 40th

Wedding Anniversary. The total of theyears were added to up see howmany years all the couples had been

together and the total came to 389years! That’s a lot of love! The price ofthe ticket included a train ride to theHorizon Community Hall (a convertedRoman Catholic Church), a rose for eachof the ladies, and a complimentaryglass of wine for each rider to go withthe Italian meal that was served.

All in all, it was a great way to start thenew season. Something else new thisyear is that Southern Prairie Railway isadvertising on CTV during the summermonths.

JIM PATTISON MAKES HISTORIC $50 MILLION GIFT FOR PEDIATRIC AND MATERNAL HEALTHCARE

The dawning of a bright sunny day was symbolic earlier this month for Saskatchewan kids and families as they learned about the bright future for pediatric and maternal healthcare in our home province. Jim Pattison’s $50 million donation to the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan was a de�ning moment and the largest one-time donation to a charitable organization in Saskatchewan’s history.

16

“We want to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for this extraordinary gift that will bene�t the children and families of Saskatchewan for generations to come,” said Premier Brad Wall. “Mr. Pattison’s generous donation, together with the $235.5 million contribution from the province, and the impressive fundraising of the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan, will ensure that a world class children’s hospital will �nally become a reality in Saskatchewan.

In honour of the remarkable gift, Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan has been renamed Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital. The Foundation followed suit, becoming Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation.

“The people in this province are so special,” explained Pattison, originally from Luseland, Saskatchewan. “My family and I owe a lot to Saskatchewan. My mother’s family were homesteaders, my father’s family were homesteaders. We wouldn’t be here without Saskatchewan people.”

“Mr. Pattison is no stranger to building on a dream and is keenly aware of working from the ground up,” said Brynn Boback-Lane, President and CEO of Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation. “His gift to our Foundation is a ‘passing forward’ to those who never give up and to those who face adversity every day.”

Separate from this historic gift, the Foundation’s “We Can’t Wait” capital campaign has accumulated $54 million towards a campaign goal of a minimum of $75 million.

“To be on the world stage, we will need to reach higher, just as the Mayo Clinic, SickKids, and St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital have,” added Boback-Lane. “These funds will allow us to create pediatric and maternal research opportunities right here at home, give us

leverage to collaborate with other major children’s hospitals and research institutes, allow for pediatric and maternal research chairs, fellowships, extended education and knowledge. It will enable sustainable programming and highly specialized equipment within the children’s hospital. It will also allow for a Children’s Hospital Foundation Operational Endowment, one of the �rst in Canada, so that we can always keep administration costs low, and the funds �owing directly to the cause.”

Pattison acknowledged the signi�cance of the gift, and remarked that it takes a village to build something as important as a children’s hospital.

“What makes a community is the people in it, the volunteers and the community spirit that comes along with it. Any e�ort, no matter how small can help,” explained Pattison. “That’s what builds the community, a province, and what builds the country.”

The concept of the Green Ribbon of Hope originated withstudents and faculty of Holy Cross Secondary School inSt. Catharines following the abduction and subsequent

murder of one of their students, Kristen French. In memory ofthis tragedy, the students and faculty directed that their ideafor the green ribbon be used exclusively by Child Find as an avenue to increase national public awareness and to raise fundsto support educational and preventative programs for missingpersons. Proceeds generated in our fundraising efforts for

Green Ribbon Month also enable us to assist law enforcement inthe search for missing persons.

Child Find SK would like to thank all who participated in the2017 Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign. All our programs andservices are offered free of charge. We receive limited government funding and rely heavily on the generous donations of corporations, businessesand the good people of Saskatchewan.

SUMMER 201728

There are about 10 million boaters in Canada. Accordingto the Lifesaving Society, most fatal boating incidentsoccur during recreational activities (78 per cent). Half of

the Canadian boating deaths occur on lakes (53 per cent) andalmost all boating victims are male (91 per cent). If you aregoing to go boating, make sure the captain or person handlingthe boat is experienced and competent. Here are a few moresafety tips to keep in mind.

Alcohol and water don’t mix. One third of boating deaths arealcohol related. Alcohol distorts a person’s judgment no matterwhere they are. That distortion is even greater on the waterbecause there are no road signs or lane markers on the waterand the weather can be unpredictable. Fatigue, sun, wind andthe motion of the boat dull your senses. It is important to beable to think quickly and react well under pressure, and alcoholdiminishes your abilities and impairs your judgment. Drinkingand driving (on land or water) is illegal.

Be Safe When Using Your Boat This Summer

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.

Can we come toyour gathering?

Boat Safety Continued...

Always use personal flotation devices (PFD). It’s always agood idea for everyone on the boat to wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket (or a personal flotation device), whetherthe boat is a large speedboat or a canoe — and whetheryou’re a good swimmer or not. It may take a few minutes toget used to it, but it definitely can be a lifesaver. Don’t leaveland without it.

Stay in touch. Before going out on a boat, let somebody onland know where you are going and about how long you’llbe out. That way, if you do get into trouble, someone willhave an idea of where to look for you. If you’re going to beon the water for a long time, it’s a good idea to have a radiowith you so you can check the weather reports. Water con-ducts electricity; so if you hear a storm warning, get off thewater as quickly as you can.
