Cadets set for second annual Hunger Games showdown

Local cadets are ready to square off with Emergency Services representatives from around Prince Albert at the second annual Hunger Games on Dec. 18.

The games will run from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the PAGC Urban Services Gym. The goal is to raise funds and food for the Prince Albert Food Bank.

“Last year was such a success. There was a little over $8,000 raised on the final count and we felt that was a real big boost for the Prince Albert Food Bank,” Rick Sanderson, PAGC Justice Director (First Nations Cadet Coordinator/Instructor) said. “It’s a good way for the cadets and kids to see people from different professions on a more personal level instead of interacting on the streets or different venues.”

The event is put together by the Prince Albert Division and the Sturgeon Lake Division of the First Nations Cadet Corps (FNCC). Since taking over, they have expanded the event to include police agencies, first responders and other organizations.

The cadets and emergency responders will compete in a number of athletic events to determine the Hunger Games champion. The list of events includes volleyball, planking, and a blind relay.

“Prince Albert Police Service, they are very busy but they do find time to join us in this kind of fund raiser, which is great,” Sanderson said. “Like I said before, the kids never get chance to interact with the police officers on a personal level and this is a great chance for them to maybe sit and talk with them and someday maybe be a police officer or a firefighter or work with Parkland Ambulance.”

The participating teams for the 2024 edition are the defending champions from Parkland Ambulance, First Nations Cadet Corps Sturgeon Lake Division, and First Nation Cadet Corps Prince Albert Division, along with federal corrections workers, Prince Albert firefighters, RCMP, Prince Albert Grand Council Executive(PAGC) Office, Prince Albert Police Service and local conservations officers.

The two major trophies to be won this year are the Christmas Spirit Award for the organization that raises the most funds and food items for the PA Food Bank. Last year’s winners were the First Nations Cadet Corps – Sturgeon Lake Division. The second trophy is the Hunger Games Competition Winner for Most Points Earned, which went to Parkland Ambulance.

The Hunger Games started in 1998

This event started back in 1998 when the original First Nations Cadet Corps in Saskatchewan held a fundraiser event where they challenged the local RCMP to a competition night. The Prince Albert Division and the Sturgeon Lake Division of the First Nations Cadet Corps (FNCC) have taken this on now and have expanded to include other groups.

Each organization participating is challenged to raise as many funds as possible or food items to give to the Food Bank for Distribution to needy families this holiday season.

Harold’s Family Foods have once again partnered with the organizers to create hampers for purchase to be provided to the food bank on behalf of that donor. The donor can identify which organization or team that they want these donor points to go towards to help them possibly win the Christmas Spirit Trophy this year.

The organizers also added that food item costs are estimated to determine points as such a dollar is one point.

Residents can pay with a credit card over the phone by calling Harold’s Family Foods, or pay by visiting the store in person.

Residents can purchase between six different hamper types, which range from $50 to $200 in value.

Toasty Toes Campaign delivers a batch of socks to Salvation Army

Daily Herald

Broker’s Active Care Klinic in Prince Albert who organized the Toasty Toes Campaign some weeks back has donated the proceeds of the Toasty Toes campaign to Salvation Army in Prince Albert.

The Salvation Army will donate them to residents who are in need.

“We have known about Toasty Toes for a number of years because we’ve received (donations) in other locations as well, but we are always very excited about socks because its one of the most requested items,” Major Charlotte Dean of the Salvation Army Prince Albert said. “Gloves and socks, those are the two most requested items. Everybody’s got cold toes and cold fingers, so it’s actually very exciting to have people come together actually donate a much needed item to people who are in need.”

Dean said almost every client who uses the Salvation Army’s services has asked for new socks at some point. The Salvation Army distributes roughly 90 pairs of socks every month.

“Most people don’t have proper footwear, so the socks actually contribute to the health of their feet,” Dean said. “That’s usually how they keep dry. It’s pretty important to them.”

Chiropractors’ Association of Prince Albert has organized the Toasty Toes Campaign to collect and gather socks across the Province for people who are in need of them. Broker’s Active Care Klinic office manager Diana Broker dropped the donation off on Wednesday. She said they happy to see so much support for the campaign.

“We live in such a great community,” Broker said. “Prince Albert really does pull through when people are in need and its just nice to see that.

“This year we also collected money which was nice to see. A loony makes a difference. The 20s make a lot of difference, but every dollar counts, just like they say in TeleMiracle, and it all adds up to give people in need some comfort in the winter.” 

Broker’s Active Care was one of three chiropractic clinics in Prince Albert that took part in the campaign. Broker said getting involved in the campaign was an easy decision for the clinic.

“(It’s) just to be able to help the people in the community. It doesn’t take much to get a pair of socks for most people and for the people that can’t afford it, its great to have them have socks on their feet and warm,”  Broker said

Any other donors that want to donate socks can drop them off at the Salvation Army in Prince Albert or call 306-763-6078.

Prince Albert SPCA grateful for community support after urgent food drive raises $13,000 in 24 hours

The Prince Albert SPCA faced a shortage of dog and cat food recently, but support from Prince Albert and beyond has helped them keep every animal fed.

The SPCA raised concerns about the shortage of food in a Facebook post made Nov. 27. The post said the organizations shelves were “nearly empty” with only one bag of dog food and three bags of cat food left.

“It’s been a little bit hard for us to keep on top of our food supply, so we put a post out there on social media just letting everybody know that we are low on food and really can use some help,” said Ashlee Bober, the Manager of Operations for the Prince Albert SPCA. “We have been blown away with how much support that we have received from the community, from individuals to businesses, it has just been absolutely incredible and within a couple of days we have had quite a pile of dog food and cat food donated.”

Bober said there are a number of reasons for the food shortage. The shelter is seeing dogs and cat stay at the shelter for longer periods of time before they are adopted, meaning they consume more food before finding a home.

Donations have also slowed down, something Bober said could be caused by the rising cost of living.

The organization is still hoping for a few more donations of food, or gift cards to pet stores that can be used on food.

“We had a good number of bags donated but we are still going through it very quickly,” she said. “It looks like we have quite a pile right now but that pile starts getting smaller and smaller every day, so we want to make sure that we have enough food to stay on top of that for the needs of the animals and to keep a good supply here.”

Donations have been coming in to support the Prince Albert SPCA from as far away as Ireland. Bober said the group appreciates everyone that has made a sacrifice to ensure that the animals stay fed, loved, healthy and sheltered.

“Within the first 24 hours we have roughly around $13,000 that was donated,” Bober said. “It was incredible. We had one generous lady who donated $1000 herself. We’ve had a couple businesses donate, so we were able to go out to the pet stores and buy a bunch of food, fill up our van, and add to the pile of food that was donated in kind…. It has just been absolutely incredible to see the generosity of our community.”

Apart from food, SPCA also attends to the medical needs of the animals in their custody and ensures the animals are well cared for.

Bober also encouraged people to adopt the animals and give them a good forever after as that will help create space for more animals to be taken into the home.

Anyone looking to donate can bring unopened or gently opened bags of dog or cat food to the SPCA shelter between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. Residents can also e-transfer donations to donations.paspca@gmail.com, or mail donations to P.O. Box 1832, Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

The SPCA has asked donator to not donate Beneful to Special Kitty brands of food.

Nipawin Handiworks steps in to keep Christmas letter-writing tradition alive

Nipawin Handiworks steps in to keep Christmas letter-writing tradition alive

Uko Akpanuko

Daily Herald

Nipawin Handiworks has decided to keep an annual Christmas tradition alive in the Nipawin area by collecting letters and delivering them to Santa for free.

The local community-based organization supports adults with intellectual disabilities through their retail store and fishhook business, among other things. On Dec. 6, they will become a drop-off point for children who want to mail letters to Santa.

Nipawin Handiworks Community Support Worker Ireland Miner said the goal is to make sure children can still send letters to Santa, since Canadian Post office workers are on strike this December.

“The letters are kind of a traditional thing,” Miner said. “I had said a couple of weeks ago, it’s really sad the strike is on because I would love to send a letter this year, but there’s nowhere to send it. It’s keeping the Christmas spirit alive.”

Normally, the post office runs a Santa Letter Program where kids can write a letter to Santa and the post office will deliver it for free. However, the program is up in the air this year due to the strike. Some postal workers, like those in Windsor, Ont., have agreed to accept Santa letters on the picket line, and will deliver a return letter before Christmas. The Daily Herald reached out to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) to see if postal workers in the Nipawin and Prince Albert areas were accepting letters. The union replied to say they were working on a plan for Prince Albert, but weren’t sure about the surrounding areas.

Miner has two children ages four and two, and was looking forward to helping her oldest send a letter to Santa this year. When her boss at Nipawin Handiworks suggested they become a drop-off point for Santa letters, she eagerly agreed to organize it.

Other local groups, like the Carrot River Wapiti Regional Library, have followed in their footsteps by agreeing to collect and return Santa letters too.

Miner said the response has been great.

“We’ve had a lot of people message us. I’ve had a lot of people stop me in the street personally and say, ‘I think it’s so cool what you guys are doing. It’s so awesome.,’” Miner said.

Miner said the bonus is it gives Nipawin Handiworks helpers and staff something to do when the weather turns cold. Normally they create crafts for the retail store, but Miner said they are running out of space.

She said they expect sorting all the Santa letters will keep them busy.

“They’re kind of getting a little bored—a little stir crazy. I think something like this will definitely keep them busy for a couple of weeks, because we’ve already had a lot of online traction. They’re definitely going to be busy,” Miner said.

Children in the Nipawin area can drop their letters off at Nipawin handiworks until Dec. 6. Return letters will be available for pickup on Dec. 20.
Nipawin Handiworks is an organization that supports adults with intellectual disabilities. They operate three group homes, as well as a day program and supported independent living program.

She added that the service is not going to be for Nipawin alone. Kids from the surrounding area can drop their letters at the Nipawin Handiworks retail store on Railway Avenue.

Big Brothers Big Sisters sets $5,000 goal for Ignite a Little Sparkle campaign

Uko Akpanuko

Daily Herald

The Prince Albert chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) launched the Ignite a Little Sparkle campaign on Sunday to raise essential funds for youth mentoring programs in the community.

“We are excited to participate in this campaign again this year and it grows a little every year,” Natasha Thomson, Development Coordinator for BBBS of Prince Albert. said. “There are also other Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies across the province participating and it’s just wonderful to see all the support from the community.”

The Ignite a Little Sparkle Campaign is a province-wide initiative, bringing holiday cheer and meaningful support to children and youth facing adversity. Thomson said every dollar raised in Prince Albert stays in the community, helping to transform young lives through mentorship.

Residents who wish to support can make a difference by either supporting the Lightbulb Campaign at Canadian Tire by donating $2 and adding their names to a paper lightbulb or give the gift of mentoring by donating online through Canada Helps via the BBBS of Prince Albert website.

The BBBS foundation is hoping to raise at least $5,000 this year for its programs.

“There is an incredible demand for our programs, and these funds will enable us to recruit, screen, train, and support dedicated volunteers,” said Thomson.  “Currently, 25 children in Prince Albert are waiting to be matched with a mentor who can help them develop skills and find hope for a brighter future.”

Thomson added that they are in need of more volunteers, particularly males volunteers, for the organization’s mentoring programs. She said the programs have been a major boost for local youth.

“We see huge increase in their confidence, in their ability to talk about their problems, (and) in their connectedness to community,” she said. “We see them gaining a positive self-identity and their self-esteem and their ability to dream and create a bright future for themselves.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Prince Albert is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering children and youth through mentorship programs. By fostering positive, one-on-one and group mentoring relationships, BBBS helps young people unlock their potential and achieve brighter futures. Serving the community for over 50 years, BBBS of Prince Albert operates as a satellite office of BBBS of Saskatoon and Area.

Winter Wonderland takes a Western turn with Cowboy Christmas

Winter Wonderland takes a Western turn with Cowboy Christmas

Uko Akpanuko

Daily Herald

The Optimist Club of Prince Albert is set to open the doors of the Winter Wonderland for the children of Prince Albert to come inside and play.

The Club started planning for opening and operation of the Winter Wonderland from the beginning of the year. The theme for this year is “A Cowboy Christmas”

“It starts off at the beginning of the year. By the time last year’s (event) had finish, it’s time to start planning what we are going to do to make it a little different,” said Vince Parker, a former two-time President of the Club. “We got to use the same things, but we want to make it a little bit different (and) move things around, which we have done (with) a few changes to the train. There’s a lot more lights, more trees, and more decorations. It’s a lot of work through the year.”

Parker said the goal is to create an area for children and families to play and enjoy themselves. He said there aren’t many Christmas events were children can come inside, plays games, and win prizes, and the Optimist Club aims to fill that void with Winter Wonderland.

“It’s a lot of work, but the end result, which is what we’re looking at, is to see the kids come around at Christmas,” Parker said. “The adults, yah they come around, but a lot of (the joy) for us is seeing the kids enjoying themselves in the kid’s zone. They look at the trees but they will go for the kid’s zone. That’s their thing and it’s amazing.”

“To see the kids’ excitement and smiles and whatnot, in my view that is profit enough,” added Carol Markling, the Winter Wonderland Committee Chair.

Markling and Parker said they wanted to try something different this year, so they thought of adding a cowboy theme to the experience. Markling said someone suggested the theme, and they started running with it. That includes adding a ticket booth called The Watering Hole near the canteen. They also created several cowboy themed photo and game areas.

They’ve also added a Lego area, and a few new trees to their display.

Around 15 people helped create this year’s Winter Wonderland, but a core group of eight to 10 are responsible for most of the work. Parker said the goal isn’t to raise money, they just want to put something on for the kids.

There will be entrance fee as follows: $5 for the kids, $10 for seniors and $15 for adults.

Visitors can access the Optimist Club Christmas Wonderland by using the inside entrance in the Gateway Mall just off 13th Street West. There are Christmas Displays, Scenic Train Rides, Cowboyish Games, and lots of Selfie Stations.

Optimist International is one of the world’s largest service club organizations with 93,000 adult and youth members in 3,200 clubs in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean and throughout the world. Carrying the motto “Bringing Out the Best in Kids,” Optimists conduct positive service projects that reach more than six million young people.

“Hey come on down and see for yourself what it is,” Parker added as he invites everybody to visit the Optimist Winter Wonderland this Christmas.

Winter Wonderland officially opens on Nov. 30 after the Santa Parade on Central Avenue. It opens at noon on Dec. 1, Dec. 6-8, and Dec. 13-15.

The University of Saskatchewan Nursing students together with the Prince Albert Early Years Family Resource Centre put together a Teddy Bear Clinic on Friday, where they used stuffed animals to teach kids ages five and under about visits to the Doctor.
“It’s been fabulous,” Colleen Moody, Coordinator of the PA Early Years Family Resource Centre said. “They come in with fresh ideas and a unique outlook on things. They were really outgoing. They just want to be part of everything and join in.”

Moody said the nursing student team helped come up with several new program ideas, one of which was the Teddy Bear Clinic. Friday was the fourth time they held the clinic. Moody said everyone has been well received, with lots of children coming through the door to get their teddy bears checked.

“There have been quite a few parents who have been really grateful for it. Their children afraid to go to the doctor, so for them to come and get a chance to handle a stethoscope and watch it being worked on their teddy bear and getting their temperature taken, it’s really been positive. A lot of parents have really been grateful for that and the children got a positive experience.”

Fourth year USask nursing students Amber Thomas, Seyi Agbodo, and Val Gonzalez ran Friday’s clinic, with help from USask nursing instructor Jessica Little.

Thomas said they try to give the children a hands-on experience.

“Most kids, unless they had some sort of illness throughout their life, they don’t go to the doctor very often,” Thomas said. “It’s more to make them more comfortable with going to the hospital or going to the clinic when they need to, because we don’t want them to be scared. It’s more to make them feel welcome.”

The nursing students give the children a pen light to look into their teddy bear’s eyes, ears, and mouth. They also have stethoscopes, thermometers, and bandages to help them treat a variety of teddy bear ailments.
At the end of the Teddy Bear Clinic, the kids are given certificates and stickers for participating.

“A lot of kids feel scared about going to the dentist or going to the doctor or things like that because its unknown,” Thomas said. “I think it’s important in case they do end up getting sick in the future and they have to go in. We don’t want them to have that anxiety or the stigma that relates to hospitals or doctors or anything of that sort. It’s just to make the kids feel more comfortable.”

Daily Herald

Prince Albert residents will once again have the opportunity to enjoy the annual Santa Parade on Saturday starting at 11 a.m.

The Santa Parade is the first of two major family Christmas events planned for the downtown. The other is the Community Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 4 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in Memorial Square.
These Christmas events have been put together by the Prince Albert Downtown Business Improvement District along with their partners.
“The level of excitement and joy that the Santa Parade creates for the Children of our City is just magical,” the Executive Director, Prince Albert Downtown Business Improvement District Rhonda Trusty said.

I actually teared up walking behind Santa’s sleigh saying ‘Santa I love you, Merry Christmas’ and leaving, and just joyful. It is something that needs to be experienced and I encourage our community and our businesses and our organizations to take part in the magic of our kickoff to Christmas.”

There will be music before the Santa Parade, providing a magical atmosphere for all to enjoy.
“I have reached out to a couple of our local churches, Calvary United Church and Bethel Christian Fellowship is joining us and they will be singing Christmas carols prior to the parade starting just for some lively entertainment  and to get everybody into the event of the day,” Trusty said.

There will be no changes to this year’s Santa Parade. Entrants will start off at Ninth Street and Central Avenue as they did in 2023.

“I think it’s an opportunity for people to have that sense of community,” Trusty said when asked why the parade was so popular. “It’s an opportunity for them to take their child to an even that is free. It’s always wonderful to see the effort that some of our participants put into their floats.”

This year’s Community Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony is sponsored by the Beau ‘Lac’ Funeral Home in partnership with the City of Prince Albert. Trusty said the free, family-friendly event is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season and celebrate the spirit of community.
The main event is the lighting of the big evergreen beside City Hall at 7 p.m. The event will also include songs from the Prince Albert Children’s Choir, and activities like Santa letter writing and crafts in the City Hall foyer.
The Prince Albert Downtown Business Improvement District is sponsoring the Horse and Wagon rides, so families can hop on a horse and wagon ride and enjoy the scenic downtown area.
“This year we are having two horse and wagon rides because one was not enough last year,” Trusty said. “We had people lining up for over an hour waiting for a ride, so we are bringing in two sets of wagons this year.”
The Prince Albert Firefighters will bring a new experience to the 2024 Tree Lighting Ceremony with an outdoor fire pit for marshmallow roasting and smore making.

Bundle up, bring your family and friends, and join us for an evening of free festive fun.

Salvation Army 2024 Christmas Kettle Campaign kicks off

Uko Akpanuko

Daily Herald

The Salvation Army in Prince Albert has kicked off its 2024 Kettle Campaign for this year’s Christmas and it promises to be another busy season for the officers and their volunteers.

The Christmas Kettle campaign not only helps pay for hampers and gifts, it also supports regular outreach efforts during the rest of the year. That includes Salvation Army meal programs, which have seen demand increase significantly.

“It is important to us because the funds that come in through our Christmas kettle campaign go directly right back into our community,” Major Ed Dean of the Prince Albert Salvation Army said. “We have fed over 50,000 meals this past year. It has been important. That is what helps to fund that important piece of our community.

“We are doing toy hampers, (and) registration is on right now. They can go online to register or they can call the office. That registration will end on Nov. 30,” he added.

There are many different ways to give this year such as the Classic red pot, the tip-tap pot on each kettle stands, or counter tops at a few select businesses in Prince Albert.

The campaign started on Nov 21 and will run until Dec. 24. The Salvation Army services families with children under the ages of 12 who are in need.

“We are well on our way,” Dean said. “It will be a busy season…. There are about 800 kettle shifts to fill, so if somebody would like to give back to the community, two hours ringing a bell at a kettle would be wonderful for us,” said Dean.

The Kettles offers diverse opportunities to residents like watching a dance, or a music performer or even meet and old friend.

“The campaign not only helps provide food hampers, gifts, and other things but is aimed at making Christmas brighter for those who are less fortunate,” Dean said.

Residents can also bring donations to the Salvation Army building, or they can go to salvationarmy.ca. There is a drop-down menu where residents can designate Prince Albert as the community they would like to donate to. Donations can also be mailed to 900 Central Avenue, Prince Albert, S6V 4V3.

“I will say thank you to those that have given, (and) those that are intending to give,” Dean said. “Come out have a good time, please support the worthwhile cause that’s what it is because its neighbors helping neighbors.”

Prince Albert Ukrainians prepare to mark Holodomor with Saturday prayer service and educational program

Prince Albert Ukrainians prepare to mark Holodomor with Saturday prayer service and educational program

Uko Akpanuko

Daily Herald

Prince Albert residents of Ukrainian descent will mark the Holodomor Memorial Day on Saturday with a ceremony and program at St George’s Ukrainian Catholic Church.

The event will start off with an evening prayer at 6:30 p.m. It will also include the observance of two minutes of silence for the departed.

The Holodomor Memorial Day is set aside to remember the millions of Ukrainians who died as a result of starvation from man-made famine caused by policies enacted by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. 

“It’s an often forgotten genocide that took place and I think we as a society need to learn about the genocides that took place in the 20th century. That’s just one of them. Everybody knows about the holocaust, well this is the Ukrainian Holocaust,” said Dennis Ogorodnick, a member of the Veselka Ukrainian Heritage Club. “I always say I’m a proud Canadian with Ukrainian and Polish roots, and so I’m making people aware of this tragedy that took place in 1932-33.”

After the prayer, at the Parish Hall, there will be some music and presentation of Ukrainian poetry at the Parish Hall. The event will also include a lecture that will examine why the famine happened, how it happened, and the aftermath. The two minutes of silence will be held at 7:32 p.m. at the request of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress.

Ogrodnick will be one of the key speakers at the Holodomor remembrance event. He always taught about Holodomor when he was teaching high school. He plans to draw on those teaching experiences for his talk on Saturday.

He said people are becoming more aware of Holodomor because of education campaigns. However, he said many of the details are still shocking.

“The horror of what happened at the height of this genocide, it’s horrific,” Ogrodnick said. “People were so desperate in January of 1933, and hungry, that they ate everything in sight. The government had taken away everything, all their food. They were farmers, and (the government) took it all away, the grain and everything. People were dying and people resorted to cannibalism to survive. That’s the part that shocks me the most. This is what happened in Ukraine.”

The Ukrainian famine was part of a larger famine that hit Soviet grain growing regions from 1931 to 1934. However, the Soviet government made the famine worse through a series of political decrees and decisions that were aimed mostly or only at Ukraine. In acknowledgement of its scale, the famine of 1932–33 is often called the Holodomor, a term derived from the Ukrainian words for hunger (holod) and extermination (mor).

By early 2019, 16 countries as well as the Vatican had recognized the Holodomor as a genocide, and both houses of the United States Congress had passed resolutions declaring that “Joseph Stalin and those around him committed genocide against the Ukrainians in 1932–1933.”

International Holodomor Day is recognized on the fourth Saturday of November and, this year, falls on November 23, 2024.
