THRICE RESIGNATION IN 

KANNATA VALLEY 

results in no referendum and 

possible office closure. Rock 

Ridge Annexation officially off 

the table. 

-BY JENNIFER ARGUE, Local 

Journalism Initiative reporter 

June 9th, 2022 

Mayor Don Sangster, Councilor 

Kyle Klevgaard and Administrator 

Kimberly Downing have 

resigned from the Village of Kannata Valley. 

The resignations announced at a June 9th 

special meeting will leave the RV with only 

three Councilors and no Administrator or 

Mayor at the end of June. It was clarified 

that if one of the remaining Councilors 

decided to run for Mayor, they would be 

required to resign their position from Coun-

Semans Library - 

exciting summer plans 

The Semans Library Board met on June 7th, 2022. 

We are excited to plan lots of fun things to do this summer. We are running our 

colouring contest open to all ages. All you have to do is pick up your colouring sheet 

and return it before August 10th, 2022. 

Next, we have planned an all-ages story time at 9:30 AM on July 13th, July 20th, 

August 3rd, August 10th, and August 17th. We will be reading a book, enjoying 

snacks and drinks and doing a craft or an activity outside, depending on the weather. 

It will run for about an hour or an hour and a half. 

We have a table at this year’s Old Fashion Saturday Night in Semans on August 13. 

Kids can come to get a glitter tattoo, take a guess on the jar, and do a bit of fishing. 

We have replaced the blinds in the Library; they are now bright and cheerful in 

colour. There is talk of replacing the remainder of the windows in the library this 

year.

Agreement 

Disagreement 

Mckillop Vs RVs 

Pelican Pointe Mayor and RV 

spokesperson surprised by 

Mckillop rejection 



June 10th, 2022 

Steve Mazurak, the Mayor of the Resort 

Village of Pelican Pointe, and Tom Fulcher, 

the spokesperson for a group of 4 

Resort Villages (RVs) in the RM, said they were 

surprised the RM of McKillop rejected their offer 

to resolve the ongoing disagreement over the 

responsibility and cost of maintaining the RM 

roads leading into the RVs. 

Steve Mazurak said, “...in my heart of hearts, 

I’m disappointed we are being singled out and 

threatened on this matter. We want a good relationship 

with the RM.” 

Fulcher also said that he “truly” thought the 

RM would accept their offer or continue dialogue 

over the offer. 

There are 5 RVs in the RM - Island View, Pelican 

Pointe, Glen Harbour, Saskatchewan Beach

Home Plan of the Week 

Cartersville is a smart, spacious duplex 

By Associated Designs 

The Cartersville is a two-story, 

three-bedroom duplex with bathrooms 

on both levels and plenty of 

separation between the units. The 

only shared walls are between the 

garages, powder rooms 

and patios. Because the 

units are mirror images 

of each other, only one 

will be described. 

Slender wooden posts 

bound a front porch 

easily large enough to 

accommodate a porch 

swing or other outdoor 

furniture. The front railing 

creates privacy, 

while adding nostalgic 

charm. 

Stepping inside, you 

move through the entry 

vestibule into the living 

room. A roomy coat 

closet is straight ahead, 

across from stairs leading 

to the second-floor 

bedrooms. 

The kitchen and dining 

room are linked at the rear, 

with only a peninsular counter 

and raised eating bar between 

them. Counters wrap 

around three sides of the 

kitchen, while cupboards line 

two and fill the space above 

the refrigerator as well. 

Note the small counter 

next to the refrigerator. This

space for starting the day. And 

when temperatures climb, meals 

can move outside. Sliding glass 

doors provide easy patio access 

and can be left open to increase air 

circulation in summer. 

Three bedrooms are 

upstairs in the Cartersville. 

Two are in the front 

and the owners’ suite is at 

the back. While it shares 

the upper bathroom, it 

does have a private dressing 

area with a basin, and 

a roomy walk-in closet.

and Sunset Cove. However, after Council 

rejected the offer - the RVs of Island View and 

Pelican Pointe will see the speed limits on 

those access roads reduced from 80 km/hr to 

30 km/hr. Members of the Council called the 

offer a “pittance” and “peanuts.” They said the 

reduction would address the safety issue. The 

RM said they would return the speed limits to 

their previous limit when an agreement was 

reached. A few councillors suggested going 

even further by decreasing the weight limits 

on the access roads and discussed the impact 

it could have on sewage hauling. 

Mazurak says the RVs have never wanted 

or expected a free ride from the RM …the RV 

spent over $100,000 on recent roadwork, and 

residents feel they have paid their fair share. 

Fulcher said the Resort Village of Sunset Cove 

installed clay-capping on their RM access 

road, costing $70,000…the RM didn’t contribute 

to this project. 

For decades, the RVs were paying thousands 

of dollars annually for what they were lead to 

believe were valid road maintenance agreements 

(RMA). But, the RV later learned that 

these weren’t RMA but servicing agreements. 

He said RVs are not required by any legislation 

to enter into an RMA. They recently tried 

to find any other RVs in the province that paid 

their RM to service the RM roads leading into 

their community but couldn’t find any, says 

Fulcher.“From our research, it appears that 

the RM practice of requiring RVs to pay for 

maintenance of RM roads is unprecedented 

anywhere else in Saskatchewan.” 

Fulcher said the recent offer made by the 

RVs was that they were willing to pay 100% of 

the costs for an additional six gradings on the 

four roads per summer and 100% of the cost 

for 50 cubic yards of gravel per mile. He said 

the amount would be in addition to what the 

RM would provide for grading and gravel. 

Mazurak said the RM’s Road Services 

Agreement policy sets the rates and doesn’t 

understand why the RM is resorting to hardline 

tactics. “Policy is policy…we pay appropriately.” 

Fulcher added that “this 2-year old 

dispute with the RM is all over just 2% of the 

gravel roadways the RM maintains each year. 

Included within this 2% are two RM resorts 

and several RM farms and businesses. In 

reality, the four resort villages likely have sole 

use of less than 1% of the roadways within 

the RM. We have offered the RM thousands 

of dollars per year to help offset their costs of 

maintaining this 1%.” 

The RM refuses to deal with the RVs as a 

group and will only meet with them individually. 

At a meeting on September 28, 2021, 

Councilor Dixon said about negotiating individually 

with each village- “but we have tried 

to get them to the table, we have tried the 

divide and conquer routine…which is the way 

to go, I agree, but it hasn’t worked.” 

Mayor Mazurak said it was when the RVs 

started to work together that the RM went 

ballistic. “Our RV group of four have many 

mutual and like-minded items ranging 

anywhere from land and water stewardship,

The Fire Department’s Facebook 

account reported that at around 

10:30 pm on Saturday, the Silton 

Fire Dept responded to the Resort of 

Sundale for a grass fire. 

“Upon arrival, crews located a grass fire 

which had been partially extinguished. 

Firefighters contained the remainder of 

the fire and confirmed that the cause was 

due to fireworks being set off in the field.” 

• Captain Corrie Coons with the Department 

said there were no injuries or 

damage to property due to the fire. She 

had some basic safety precautions people 

should know when using fireworks. 

• Check with local bylaws if permits are 

required and if you don’t know, ASK. 

• Choose the right location. Such as an 

open, flat nonflammable surface such as 

dirt, concrete or sand. 

• Avoid areas with trees, grass or buildings 

that could catch fire. 

• Wait for appropriate weather conditions 

- a calm day. Wind can push sparks 

outside the safety perimeter. 

• Make a safety perimeter of at least 150 

feet around where you are setting off the 

fireworks with only authorized people 

allowed in. 

• Use only legal fireworks and follow the 

instructions on the box. 

• Have a plan in place. Keep a bucket of 

water, a hose rakes and shovels handy if 

you need to use them. 

• Don’t ever hold onto a firework, and 

don’t trim the fuses. They are that 

length for a reason. 

• After lighting a firework, get out of the 

way as fast as possible. 

• Supervise children in the area and 

ensure they remain outside the safety 

zone. 

• If you have a dud firework, don’t try to 

reignite it. Don’t approach it for 15-20 

minutes and place it in a metal bucket 

full of water. 

• To Dispose of spent fireworks, DON’T 

throw them directly in the garbage. 

Place them in a metal bucket full of water 

to soak overnight before disposing 

of them. 

• Never handle fireworks if you are under 

the influence, as it can endanger the 

safety of yourself and others. 

• Complete a check of the area to ensure 

there aren’t any remaining embers. 

• Wear personal protective equipment 

such as safety glasses, gloves, fireproof 

cover-alls and closed-toe shoes. 

In the end, Captain Coons says, “It’s 

best to leave it to the professionals.”

cil. And because they wouldn’t have a 

quorum, the Ministry of Government 

Relations would step in. If there is no 

interim Administrator in place by July 

1st, the office will be closed. 

The resignations came after a special 

meeting on May 25 validated a petition 

by residents to force a referendum - 

stopping the process of the annexation 

of Rock Ridge into the RV. 

Before the resignations were announced, 

Councilor Tom Fink, a 

previous proponent of the annexation, 

put forward a motion agreeing with the 

petition’s intent. He said the annexation 

had divided the community, and it was 

time for healing. Council passed the 

motion. As a result, the referendum will 

not be held. While the council voted to 

discontinue negotiations, it wouldn’t 

mean that future councils couldn’t pick 

it back up again. 

In reading his letter of resignation, 

Sangster said it was “with much regret 

and considerable relief” that he was 

resigning. He continued to say the 

Village had become mired in division, 

and the unsubstantiated criticism and 

rumours had been hard to put up with, 

“Especially when you believe it is your 

role to take the high road” He appeared 

to speak earnestly about the stress that 

it had caused him. He said he wanted to 

ensure he takes care of his health for his 

family and grandchildren for the years 

to come. “Finally I am sad because I 

have never quit something like this in 

my life.” He acknowledged it will be 

a challenge for the council to find a 

replacement Administrator because of a 

shortage of municipal administrators. “I 

wish the remaining council wisdom and 

success as they work their way through 

this period of time. Finally, my hope is 

that good people of integrity will come 

forward to fill the two vacancies on the 

Kannata Valley Council.” 

The race to find an interim administrator 

begins before July 1. Byelections 

are scheduled for the September long 

weekend.

Woods authors 

amazing comeback 

story 

He’s already clearly in the lead for golf’s Comeback of the Year 

award. Now Tiger Woods is hunting even bigger game. 

MOVING OUT SALE

After nearly demolishing 

his right leg in a February, 

From the 2021 car crash in California, 

Sidelines Woods’ career as a professional 

golfer appeared 

BRUCE 

PENTON 

to finally be over. ‘Finally,’ 

because after numerous scandals, 

surgeries and advancing 

age, the car crash and the severe 

injuries it caused would have been 

career-ending to most. 

Not to Woods, however. With his right leg 

held together by metal rods, screws and pins, 

the 46-year-old winner of 15 major championships 

was hitting balls nine months later, 

competing in a casual father-and-son tournament 

within 10 months, and then shocking 

the golf world by playing in the Masters this 

past April, 14 months after nearly killing himself 

with risky and dangerous driving. 

That he made the cut at the Masters was 

astonishing, considering what led up to it. 

That he completed all four rounds was further 

testament to his competitive nature. That 

he made the cut four weeks later at the PGA 

Championship led many to suggest that the 

Greatest Golfer of All Time (G.O.A.T.) might 

be able to come all the way back and continue 

his march toward Jack Nicklaus’s record of 18 

major tournament victories. 

This week, the season’s third major, the U.S. 

Open, is being played in Massachusetts and 

Woods has filed an entry to take part. ‘Filing 

an entry’ and ‘actually playing’ are two different 

things and Woods may or may not decide 

he can can handle the leg pain and discomfort 

to walk 36 (or 72) holes and actually challenge 

for the Open title. He wasn’t able to handle 

the pain at the PGA, making the 36-hole cut 

but withdrawing after 54 holes following a 

limping-filled third-round 79. 

Nicklaus won his final major, the 1986 

Masters, at the age of 46. Woods is chronologically 

the same age, but far older in terms 

of physicality. Winning a major is almost 

certainly impossible this year (he’s announced 

he will play in the Open Championship at 

St. Andrews, Scotland, in July), but merely 

competing, and making the cut, makes him 

an obvious winner of Comeback Player of the 

Year. 

Whether Woods will ever again walk painfree 

or without a limp remains to be seen, but 

what is certain is that he still has the skills to 

manoeuvre the golf ball better than almost 

anyone in the world. Golf fans everywhere are 

captivated by Woods’ comeback efforts and it 

won’t be long before he finally drives off into 

the sunset (at a safe speed, we hope). While 

the car crash and leg injuries weren’t enough 

to finish Woods’ career, advancing age eventually 

will. Sports fans should enjoy what’s left 

of this amazing athlete’s career while he’s still 

able to offer glimpses of it. 

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com “Scientists at 

MIT claimed to have successfully removed 

painful memories from the minds of mice. 

Their next big challenge: Toronto Maple

• Steve Simmons of Sunmedia, on Germany’s 

Leon Drsaitl having no hockey countrymen 

to emulate growing up: “There were no 

neighbourhood role models to follow. Unless

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Border-hugging

A pent-up desire 

The chuckwagons ran in Yorkton on the weekend, which had me at the grandstand, 

camera in hand, taking photos for Yorkton This Week. 

That is not particularly interesting as an isolated 

assignment – one of many spanning more than 

three decades now – but the locale for the event is 

of significance for this writer. 

The Yorkton Exhibition grounds, not 

surprisingly, have been a significant part 

of covering events through the years for 

Ag Notes 

Yorkton This Week, but my memories go 

CALVIN 

farther back than my time as a journalist. 

DANIELS 

I grew up attending summer fairs 

around the province showing stock. It was 

my summer camp, I suppose, and I loved 

it. By this time in June, I’d be counting the 

days to the first event of the summer, a day that 

would have only been matched in terms of expectation 

by the annual flight of Santa himself. So, as I watched the 

first chuckwagons cutting the barrels, a thought or three 

of memories popped into my mind. It was also a case of 

looking at the filled seats in the grandstand and appreciating 

how people were out being together after two years of 

COVID-19 cancelling events and keeping people at home. 

As a kid, I’m not sure how I would have reacted – OK, so 

I would have sulked in my room – had dad had to tell me 

there would be no summer fairs because of some ‘bug,’ I 

doubt I would have fully understood on my earliest years. 

It is not so startling that I would not have fully understood 

what a pandemic was pre-internet, especially if you 

consider in our world of free-flowing information, instantly, 

people still balked at the threat, in spite of the death of many, 

and complained about undertaking even the simplest of precautions 

such as wearing a mask. Still, there is no denying a 

pent-up desire to get out with other people. 

For kids, for example, those in 4-H, the expectation of 

regional shows or summer camps has to have many marking 

the days of June off of their calendars in heady expectation. 

That was all part of just standing at the track fence and 

observing, and yes, I found myself longing to again be only 

weeks from a summer attending fairs showing livestock, 

riding bumper cars and occasionally eating candy floss. Alas, 

those days are long gone; as much as I might wish for a return 

to Connaught Fair, or Shand, or Golburn, the memories remain, 

and I envy those still making them driving chuckwagons 

or showing 4-H steers.

Praise at the Beach 

On May 15th, St Jerome parish hosted an evening called Praise at the Beach, attended 

by around 80 people. Four of our parishioners talked one evening and came up with this 

wonderful event to bring the community together. 

-BY SHELAN SCHULKOWSKY, 

Master of Ceremonies for 

Praise at the Beach 

I moved out to Buena Vista 

four years ago after marrying 

my amazing husband. I was 

a city girl who loved being 

close to friends, events and 

shopping. My husband said if 

small-town life doesn’t work 

for me, we could move back to 

Regina. Over the last four years, 

I have fallen in love with beach 

life, winter lake activities, the 

small-town feel, and most of 

all, the amazing community 

atmosphere. One place that has 

captured my heart is St. Jerome 

Parish and the wonderful people 

who make up the church. One 

of the things that drew me to 

the parish was the beautiful 

music. It should not have, but 

it surprised me to find so many 

talented musicians right here in 

the Regina Beach area. 

The evening was all about 

gathering together, reconnecting 

with others after these last 

two years and allowing God to 

open hearts a little more to His 

immeasurable love. We know 

music is a powerful gift that can 

lift our spirits, encourage us and 

touch us deeply. The night was 

full of amazing music from 4 

different groups! 

The night began with a 

prayerful message from St. 

Jerome’s parish priest, Fr. 

Christian Lindenbach, who 

will be with our parish for 

a few years to come. Music 

started with St. Jerome’s very 

own choir, who belted out a 

fantastic “I Will Follow Him” 

from Sister Act. Their fearless 

choir director, Lynette Gaetz, 

has been leading the choir for 

over 23 years. She is passionate 

about music, uniting 

people, encouraging even 

the shiest people to sing and 

gathering talented musicians. 

The group has two guitarists, 

a drummer, an organist and 

a piano player. It is a rocking 

group! There are two other 

original members from when 

the choir began in 1999. 

Over the years, there have 

been about 55 members, not 

including the current 19 they 

have right now. The joke is that 

Lynette easily recruits people 

because the choir area has the 

only padded seats in the church. 

Jokes aside, the group really 

has become a little community 

dedicated to faith and having 

fun. Lynette chose “I Will 

Follow Him” in memory of the 

past choir members that have 

touched lives over the years. 

They continued with four more 

songs. 

Next, we heard from one 

gifted young woman, Michelle 

Wrubleski! I first heard Michelle 

sing in church about a 

year and a half ago. It was after 

the church was shut down for a 

number of months and we could 

finally gather then eventually 

gather with some music. It was a 

time when I was missing people 

and community, and there 

were still several restrictions. 

Michelle started to play, I don’t 

recall the song, but I began to 

tear up. Her voice was not only 

angelic, but when she sang, she 

gave meaning and feeling to the 

words. Michelle sings with not 

only her voice but her heart! 

Michelle started playing 

piano when she was 4! She took 

lessons for several years, but 

the majority of what she learned 

was self-taught. Ten years ago, 

she was asked to fill in at a 

memorial service at St. Jerome 

and has been playing here ever 

since! 

Michelle told me that music 

is one thing that balances her. 

She finds it soothing, expressive 

and healing! Michelle’s favourite 

bible story is the Transfiguration 

of Jesus! She thinks it is the 

most beautiful miracle of Jesus. 

It reveals the glory of God and

REGINA (JUNE 9, 2022) — Lisa

about trading the cold winter weather 

for somewhere a bit warmer after 

discovering they won $250,000 

thanks to the EXTRA they added to 

their ticket for the May 18 LOTTO

The day after the draw, Lisa woke

time, her routine was a little more 

pleasant than usual. 

“I have my tickets on my side table 

and every morning I roll over and check 

my tickets to see if I have to go to work 

or not; that morning, I got a nice little 

surprise,” she laughed. 

She discovered their win by scanning 

the ticket using the Lotto Spot! App. 

After scanning the ticket a few more 

times, Lisa went online to see where the 

winning ticket was sold. 

“It said ’Regina,’ I said, ‘yep, it’s me,’” 

she laughed. 

Lisa called her husband at work to 

share the good news before heading off 

to work herself — although she said it 

was understandably hard to focus. 

The Pilot Butte residents said their 

windfall hasn’t sunk in yet, but they’re 

starting to think about what they will 

do. 

“Help the kids a little and maybe 

retire sooner. Maybe take a holiday to 

somewhere warm in the winter,” Lisa 

said. 

The happy couple purchased their 

winning ticket from the Sherwood 

Co-op at 4705 Gordon Rd. in Regina 

on May 17. They won by matching all 

seven of the winning EXTRA numbers

wildlife protection, lagoon partnership, 

road maintenance, land development, 

safety, RCMP, fire services and the like. 

I don’t know why the RM is intimated 

by our group as it is very efficient and 

saves time not having to negotiate with 

4 RV villages individually.” Mazurak 

said that people have told him that the 

RM is acting like a schoolyard bully. 

Mazurak said they are sending the 

RM a letter repeating their request for 

gravel in accordance with the RM’s new 

maintenance policy. 

In September 2021, Fulcher said 

after the RM spent years demanding 

road maintenance agreements, the RVs 

took the RM to a binding hearing in 

front of the Saskatchewan Municipal 

Board (SMB) with the hope of resolving 

the dispute. They felt the SMB would 

not require them to enter into an RMA 

with the RM, and even if they did, 

the fees would only be a few hundred 

dollars per year because all RMA fees 

are legislated under Municipal Regulations. 

However, Fulcher said that 

during the pre-hearing conference, the 

RM surprised everyone by saying they 

did not want an RMA with the resort 

villages and never did, and the SMB 

didn’t deliver a ruling. 

“It is important to note that road 

maintenance agreements are the only 

legislative process in Saskatchewan 

that allows RMs to recoup maintenance 

and damages on RM roads.” Fulcher 

said, “Outside of an RMA, there is no 

legal mechanism for the RM to mandate 

the RVs to provide funding on 

these roadways.” 

“One of the reasons we are surprised 

our offer was not accepted is that our 

offer exceeded the latest dollar amount 

requested from the RM in 2021. We 

actually offered them more money than 

what they were asking in 2021, and 

they still made recent comments during 

their council meeting using words such 

as “this is a pittance.” We do not understand 

their thought process here. Fulcher 

said he feels like the RM doesn’t 

value the resort villages as being part of 

the RM community or recognize their 

financial contributions towards strongly 

supporting local RM businesses, 

and through their taxes which provide 

funding towards local libraries, school 

boards, fire departments, policing 

services, etc. Three of the RV are also 

members of the community landfill and 

lagoon. “We are part of this community. 

I don’t know why they think we have to 

be a taxpayer to be considered a part of 

the community. While we may not pay 

our property taxes directly to the RM, 

we are still huge contributors to this 

community in so many other ways.” 

“We hope the community will recognize 

that, although there is no legal 

requirement for our resort villages to 

pay for any roadway maintenance, we 

still chose to offer thousands of dollars 

to the RM each year for roadway maintenance, 

for the 1% of roads that we use, 

in an attempt to demonstrate that we 

truly are supportive and contributing 

members of this community”. 

Fulcher said he believes a solution to 

this dispute can be and is still hopeful 

that cooler heads can prevail. “If the 

RM is willing, we would consider going 

to the SMB to enter into their mediation 

process to see if we can resolve this 

issue there.” 

LMT contacted the RM of McKillop, 

including the CAO, Reeve, and all of 

the Councilors for comment. None were 

received before publication.

the perfect radiance of everlasting life! Listening to Michelle 

during Praise at the Beach, you felt like you were 

on a mountain top with Jesus! 

We are so lucky that St. Jerome’s Parish and the Regina 

Beach United Church work together on many events 

and fundraisers throughout the year. It was fitting to 

have the beautiful voices of the Regina Beach United 

Church Choir with us for the evening, led by Carol Draper. 

Over the last four years of being out here, I realize she 

is very much weaved into the fabric of this community, 

pouring her time and talent not only into her family 

but into so many events, fundraisers, and community 

organizations, including being the organist and director 

of the United Church Choir. 

The choir has been going strong over the last 45 years, 

with ten dedicated members who practice each Thursday 

and are at church Sundays to sing. They never fold, even 

if only 2 or 3 people can make it. The choir has bonded 

and become friends over their love to sing. The songs 

they picked for tonight are ones that spoke to them all. 

When I asked Carol why music and church are so 

important to her, she shared that going to church on 

Sunday builds her up, gives her strength and she feels renewed. 

Her faith comes through music, and music leaves 

a beautiful message with people through the words of 

the songs. We hope they continue to use music to touch 

lives. 

Lastly, we heard from Highwood Worship, made up of 

the husband and wife team of Mike and Loralie Hoffort. 

They have been married for 35 years and have two 

daughters and one son, all married to amazing people. 

Currently, they have six grandchildren that they adore. 

They enjoy doing many of the same things and have a 

lot of fun with their kids and grandkids. Loralie is one 

super-nice person with the determination to accomplish 

whatever she sets her sights on. Mike cares for all people 

profoundly. You can see their love for each other and 

Jesus when they sing. 

One of the things they enjoy together is playing music. 

Loralie originally was a member of the St Jerome choir. 

She has the most angelic voice, and I was always in awe 

of her singing. I had no idea Mike was just as talented 

until they were singing together one day. Mike and 

Loralie began to jam around at home. Loralie introduced 

Mike to some great Christian music they started 

to include when they played at mass during the last two 

years. The more they played, the more great songs they 

found to cover with a two-piece band and a country feel. 

That is how Highwood Worship came to be! 

The evening ended with all the musicians and choirs 

joining together to sing one last song! It was a beautiful 

way to end the evening. 

We are so grateful for all those who allowed the 

evening to happen, all the volunteers, especially Loralie 

and Mike Hoffort, Lynette and Brad Gaetz, for their 

vision! We hope this will become an annual event! In the 

meantime, St Jerome Parish and Regina Beach United 

Church have church services every Sunday at 11 am. All 

are welcome to attend, and I am sure there is room in 

the choirs! 

Canada is one of six countries without 

cost-sharing 

VANCOUVER—Among 28 industrialized countries in the world with universal 

health-care, 

Canada is only one of six that 

does not use any form of 

cost-sharing for core medical 

services, which can be used to incentivize 

more efficient use of scarce 

health resources and potentially 

reduce wait times, finds a new study 

published by the Fraser Institute, an 

independent, non-partisan Canadian 

public policy think-tank. 

Despite ranking amongst the most 

expensive universal health care systems 

in the developed world, comprehensive 

measures of performance 

indicate that Canada routinely lags 

behind its international peers in key 

metrics of health care performance, 

such as the availability of doctors 

and hospital beds, and wait times for 

medically necessary care. 

At the same time, Canada departs 

from more successful universal 

health care countries in a number of 

ways, including the use of cost-sharing 

for patients. 

The study finds that 22 of 28 universal 

health care countries studied 

require patients to share in a portion 

of the cost of treatment, though 

lower-income and/or at-risk groups 

are almost always exempted. Cost 

sharing is accomplished in a number 

of ways, including deductibles (an 

amount up to which individuals are 

exposed to the full cost of treatment 

after which insurance covers 

expenses), co-insurance payments (a 

certain percentage of the cost of each 

treatment is paid by the patient) and 

copayments (a fixed amount paid by 

the patient per treatment). 

“Patients in Canada are not directly 

billed for any portion of their care. 

The experience for most Canadians 

is that using health care is free, 

which is at odds with our international 

peers and can lead to higher 

demand for medical services than 

would otherwise be the case, which 

results in longer wait times that 

have long plagued Canada’s health 

care system,” said Bacchus Barua, 

director of health policy research at 

the Fraser Institute and co-author 

of Understanding Universal Health 

Care Reform Options: Cost-Sharing 

for Patients. 

Crucially, many of the universal 

health-care countries with shorter 

wait times than Canada for elective 

surgery require some form of patient 

cost-sharing for core services, 

including Australia, France, Germany, 

the Netherlands, New Zealand, 

Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. 

Unfortunately, the federal Canada 

Health Act effectively prohibits 

provinces from introducing any form 

of cost-sharing to their health-care 

model. 

“Canada’s health-care system is in 

need of reform, and cost-sharing is 

potentially one piece of the puzzle 

that could lead to a better, more efficient 

use of our scarce health-care 

resources,” said Mackenzie Moir, a 

Fraser Institute policy analyst and 

study co-author. 

“Of course, design matters – and 

such cost-sharing requirements need 

to be complemented by safety nets 

for vulnerable populations.”
