NEWS BRIEFS Company fined $50,000 for workplace injury Last Mountain <strong>Times</strong> • Monday, <strong>August</strong> 12, <strong>2019</strong> • lmtimes.ca 3 A Saskatoon company pleaded guilty to one count under Occupational Health and Safety regulations in Lloydminster Provincial Court on July 15, <strong>2019</strong>. 101296182 Saskatchewan Ltd. pleaded guilty to contravening subsection 154(2) of the regulations (being an employer, fail to ensure that only trained operators are required or permitted to operate powered mobile equipment, resulting in the serious injury to a worker). The company was fined $35,714.28 plus a surcharge of $14,285.72, for a total of $50,000. One additional charge was stayed. Charges stemmed from an incident that occurred on July 26, 2017 at a worksite near Lloydminster, Saskatchewan. A worker sustained severe injuries when a combine tire fell off a forklift and struck the worker. Municipalities can access long-term flood mitigation program Last week the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA) announced that beginning <strong>August</strong> 1, <strong>2019</strong>, the transition moves from the emergency focus toward long-term flood mitigation projects. Applications from municipalities will be accepted until September 15, <strong>2019</strong>. Last year, 16 communities participated in the program. At no cost, each community received technical investigations into their long-term flood damage risk issues. A total of seven communities undertook mitigation works and received funding from the FDRP. The FDRP is anticipated to have $700,000 available in grants this year and will accept proposals in four categories from communities both urban (cities, towns and villages) and in rural municipalities (hamlets). The FDRP will cover eligible costs incurred up to March 31, 2020. Once a municipality applies to the program, the proponent must have prior WSA approval and must secure any applicable regulatory requirements to undertake work. Eligible projects will be cost-shared on a 50/50 basis between the WSA and the proponent. New heliport operational at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital A new heliport on top of Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon has opened ahead of schedule and became operational on Thursday, July 25. Emergency personnel from Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service (STARS) will now be able to land at the site, which received its certification from Transport Canada on Wednesday, July 24. This technical review and certification process ensures that the new heliport meets Transport Canada’s regulations and guidelines to support safe helicopter operations on the new hospital. Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) will be home to new Royal University Hospital (RUH) Adult Emergency Department and a new Children’s Emergency Department, which will open in the fall. STARS transports about 300 patients to RUH each year. Previously, STARS landed at Innovation Place and patients were transported via ground ambulance to RUH, which took up to 25 minutes. With the heliport now operational, patients will be inside RUH about five minutes after landing. Once the new Emergency Departments (EDs) open this fall, patients will arrive at EDs within about three minutes of landing at the heliport. In anticipation of the potential that the heliport could be operational before opening of JPCH, staff and physicians have been finalizing processes and routes, and conducting mock moves from the heliport to both the existing Emergency Department in RUH, and the new Emergency Departments located in JPCH. The total capital budget for the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital was $285.9 million, which included $257.6 million from the Province of Saskatchewan. Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation has fundraised over $75 million ($28.3 million for capital costs and $46.6 million for furniture and equipment). The Royal University Hospital Foundation fundraised $5 million for equipment and furniture in the new adult Emergency Department. Located in Saskatoon next to the Royal University Hospital, Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital will care for pediatric and maternal patients. NDP uncovers Sask. Party’s secret Crown selloff committee A newly released report from the Information and Privacy Commissioner shows that the Sask. Party’s plans to sell off SaskTel were much more developed than previously known. Documents released by the Saskatchewan NDP show that cabinet created a secret sell-off committee to explore ways to sell off up to 50% of the Crowns. The NDP is calling for the release of all documents the Commissioner recommended be released, and all the documents prepared by the private companies the Sask. Party was looking to sell SaskTel off to. Wotherspoon condemned the Sask. Party for sharing SaskTel’s commercial information with its competitors and exposing SaskTel to potential harm. “It’s clear this government can’t be trusted with Saskatchewan’s Crowns. They’ve been dishonest about their plans and they’ve betrayed Saskatchewan people’s trust” said NDP Finance critic Trent Wotherspoon. “The Sask. Party knows that people are opposed to their plan to sell off our Crowns and that’s why they’re trying to keep these documents a secret.” Records from an FOI submitted by the NDP on the sale of SaskTel were withheld by the government. A review from the Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner ruled that some of the records should be released. “If Scott Moe and the Sask. Party have nothing to hide, they’ll release these documents,” Wotherspoon added. “We need a government that’s focused on making Saskatchewan’s Crowns stronger, instead of constantly scheming to sell them off.” 2015 Chrysler Town & Country Limited $23,995 3.6L,Black, leather, p/doors, liftgate, dual DVD, sunroof. 81,000kms.
