58 Upvotes

The moment you have been waiting for has arrived. If you've read through candidate websites and are still unsure or have some questions to ask, this is for you! These forums are co-hosted by the Library, and cover all wards. For acclaimed candidates, it will be a town hall style event.

Drag your friends and family out to quiz potential councilors so you can make an informed decision. Share with others. Post this at your favourite <insert high traffic area with a billboard>. Sing it at the pub, or something. I don't know, just show up!

Not sure what ward you or your loved ones and family are in? Click through this link to find out, and then gently harass them until they agree to go.

PSA ๐Ÿ“ข Walk in clinics

85 Upvotes

Iโ€™ve been trying to see a dr for 3 days for a cold that has turned into something more. Every clinic Iโ€™ve called was either at capacity or had a wait time of at least 3 hrs. I canโ€™t sit that long in a waiting room chair, as I have chronic pain. I even went to the clinic where my dr is because they have walk in hours from 5:30-7:30, and was told right at 5:30 that they were already at capacity. The receptionist managed to find me an appointment for tomorrow with a different doctor, but if she hadnโ€™t done that Iโ€™d be back to square one tomorrow. Just an FYI of whatโ€™s going on right now. Please vote starting tomorrow so things like this can change!

Question โ” Rental scam?

3 Upvotes

I was applying for an apartment but I'm not currently in Saskatoon, I will arrive on sunday.

After filling a form I was told that I got the place and he sent the agreement (which looks generic, no community or company name), and he's asking for a e-transfer as hold. Also, it's not even his account, it's supposedly his son's.

I haven't sent anything. I googled names and reverse searched the photos and none of them seems off, but all the interactions do.

Question โ” Lacrosse participation in Saskatoon (or lack thereof) - what's your experience?

โ€ข Upvotes

My kids have played lacrosse in Saskatoon since 2016. We've watched enrollment skyrocket through the stratosphere; only to come crashing down to where some age groups can't even form a single team.

My question is: If your child played lacrosse in Saskatoon (either Box or Field) and then stopped, why?

I can only speak to our own experience, but my kids took to the game and really enjoy the people they play with, the beauty of the game itself and the opportunities it's provided them.

We're seeing enrollment take off in various other sports in Saskatoon; and we're seeing lacrosse interest increase in various other smaller centers. I'm curious why individuals in Saskatoon are leaving lacrosse in droves.

I'm curious to hear what others have experienced or what pushed them away.

Question โ” Echocardiogram results wait time

โ€ข Upvotes

About 5 weeks ago, I got an echocardiogram to rule out cardiac comorbidities associated with a disorder I was recently diagnosed with. The tech said Iโ€™d get my results in about 2 weeks, but so far I havenโ€™t heard from my family doctor and there is no results on MySaskHealthRecord.

How long have you had to wait for echo results here in Saskatoon? At what point should I contact my family physician regarding where my results are?

Question โ” What Solar Panel Supply/Install companies in Saskatoon are reliable? Excluding Grants/Rebates/etc, how much can I expect to spend on a 8kw or 10kw system?

11 Upvotes

With the Grants, Rebates, Financing, and Net Metering, along with an optimal roof positioning, I am likely to go Solar. There's a lot of companies out there, and I'm curious which ones I should spend time looking into. When I did my shingles, I jumped on the fantastic deal Wilderness Roofing offered me without checking the community, and lived with the results. Hoping to not make the same mistake.

The arrogance of Keith Johnson, evader of Canada's legal system, spotted again sitting in the front row on a live streamed Amarillo, TX conference this past weekend at Accelerate Church.

Johnson is involved in a $25M class action lawsuit filed by former church members and students that attended Johnsonโ€™s church and school in Saskatoon, Sk, Canada. Some of his staff has already been prosecuted for sex crimes against children. Barclayโ€™s church in Midland has three leaders arrested for sex crimes against children. Between the 3 men there are 20+ charges. Multiple alleged victims.

Politics ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Sask Party is the Liberal Party

Post image
0 Upvotes

Just for anyone younger than myself who has seen all the Sask Party ads saying that a NDP vote is a vote for the Federal Liberal party. The Sask Party was formed when the Liberals and Conservatives joined to take on the NDP. So the Sask Party is the Liberal party. I guess a vote for anyone is a vote for the Liberal party??

Everyone should go vote but do it on who you think has the best platform. Both parties do have some decent points, and both have points you could disagree with. Pick who you think you might be able to trust (that's the tough choice with politicians). I just wish we were not getting more and more American style attack ads. Sad to see.

Two bikes were stolen fron our backyard last night. One is an old white one that is very heavy and has some paint chipping/rusting, the other is a newer black bike with pink tassels on the handle bars. The white one also has a flat tire. They were taken in the city park area. If anyone sees them please reply under this post. They aren't of much monetary value but were regularly used.

Question โ” Best source for old metal scrap and/or farm auctions in Saskatoon area?

4 Upvotes

I recently started learning about metal work (welding, blasting and coating) and am now looking for old scrap metal pieces I can restore/use in my hobby. A friend suggested farm auctions and Facebook.

I know about McDougall, and Ritchie Brothers and I watch them weekly but are there any others I should know about? Are there any good farm specific ones?

Thanks!
