Ecology of nesting waterfowl in the Missouri coteau of southern SaskatchewanLeitch, William G., 1914- 30 March 1952 (has links)
Expanding populations, more leisure time and increased standards of
living since World War II, have resulted in an ever increasing demand in
the United States and Canada for outdoor recreation in the form of hunting
and fishing...
In the course of the investigation it was necessary to census the
nesting population, find nests, and search for broods. It was apparent
that these observations were important in themselves, and the investigation
soon expanded into a study of the ecology of waterfowl in the area,
of which, in the end, the orginal objective became a minor part...

Aboriginal goals of education in Lac La Ronge, Montreal Lake and Timber Bay, Saskatchewan : a case study1994 January 1900 (has links)
The main purpose of this study was to determine if Aboriginal people prefer goals of education that reflect an Aboriginal or Western perspective in education. In order to do this Aboriginal goals of education first had to be compiled. This study also investigated perspective differences within the Aboriginal community itself. The sub-categories of people in this study were: i) generational (age) differences; ii) level of education differences; and iii) gender differences.The study was conducted in the Aboriginal communities of La Ronge, Montreal Lake and Timber Bay, Saskatchewan. Fifteen respondents were of Cree ancestry. One respondent was of Dene ancestry. There were eight men and eight women. The respondents were asked to rank a mix of Aboriginal goals of education and Saskatchewan Education goals of education. They were then interviewed to ascertain the reason(s) for their choices. The ranking exercise and the interview were equally important features of this study.
It was concluded that Aboriginal people would choose Aboriginal goals of education when given the opportunity. The reasons for their choices seem to be rooted in their past experiences and their hopes that their children will have a culturally more beneficial andsuccessful experience. It was also concluded that a Western perspective in education has not completely been discounted.

Identifying key technologies in Saskatchewan, Canada: Evidence from patent informationZhang, Li January 2011 (has links)
This study attempts to identify the areas of technological strength of the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, whose economy is heavily based on natural resources, by analyzing patent information. 606 US patents held by Saskatchewan organizations were identified. The results show that inventive activities are steadily growing and Saskatchewan's technological development has experienced three stages. The Initial stage (1971-1985) was dominated by traditional resource-based technologies; the Emerging stage (1986-1995) was characterized by the emergence of new technologies in the Drugs & Medical field; and the Developing stage (1996-2009) was marked by more of a balance between traditional and new technologies. In Canada and worldwide, inventive activities in Computers & Communication field have been most prominent since the last decade. However, Saskatchewan demonstrates a different path from the rest of the world. While traditional technological fields still dominate in the province, it is gradually building its strength in the Drugs & Medical field. The results present a possibility to diversify the provincial economy if policy makers develop strategies to facilitate the transfer of new technologies to industries

The development of the public child welfare program in SaskatchewanJohnson, Helen Louise January 1952 (has links)
The first tangible indication of a provincial responsibility for dependent and neglected children in Saskatchewan was recognized by the Children's Protection Act passed in 1908. The objective of this thesis has been to collect and record the available information pertaining to the development and growth of the government department to which the responsibility for dependent and neglected children was assigned. The project has been limited to specific branches of child welfare, services to children in their own homes, services to unmarried parents, ward care, and adoptions. Juvenile delinquency, another function of the government agency, has not been included. The material used in the study included provincial statutes, annual reports (those for the years 1920, 1921, 1922, 1933, and 1934 are missing), and publicized information supplemented by interviews with agency personnel.
The study was not intended as a legislative analysis. The aim has been to present the actual practices and standards of service offered by the public agency to the children in need of protection.
Planning for the child welfare services in Saskatchewan was patterned in the first place after the organization existing in Ontario. Through the years there have been modifications to accommodate that pattern to the needs of a scattered rural population. Saskatchewan has looked to the longer established agencies for inspiration and the benefit of their experience in the field of child welfare. New programs have been added commensurate with similar advancements in other Canadian provinces. During the past five years the public agency in Saskatchewan has taken more initiative, and now accepts responsibilities for children greater, perhaps, than those assumed in any other Canadian province. These efforts have aroused a new interest in the program and won a place for Saskatchewan as a pioneer in the field of child welfare.
The study reflects, as always, the conflict between the awareness of sound child welfare standards and the difficulties of finance and personnel so necessary to put those standards into effect. The prolonged depression of the 1930's, perhaps, did more than any other factor to emphasize the need for social security measures to counteract the vulnerability of the Saskatchewan people to the agricultural economy. The new period in child welfare is characterized particularly by the increasing emphasis upon a casework approach in all fields of welfare.
It is hoped that the collection, co-ordination, and recording of the history of the Child Welfare Branch will be of value to the agency involved in future evaluations of the services provided to children in the light of past experience. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

interrelationship of regional transportation regional government, and planning regions in SaskatchewanRopertz, Henry January 1972 (has links)
The related concepts of regional planning and regional government have been a topic of discussion in Saskatchewan for a considerable period of time without yet being resolved. There are immediate questions requiring solutions which can best be handled on a regional scale: rail line abandonment and grain movement rationalization; changing consumer patterns that are by-passing small service-centers; the effects of population shift from rural to urban areas; the broadening of the economic base and the creation of a vehicle for the effective use of and therefore, the attraction of Federal development grants.
Progress in resolving the above issues has been hampered because debate on these topics has been focused on issues that are not relevant. Discussion to date has centered on conflicting urban and rural values, heightened by a misunderstanding on the part of urban-oriented academics and professionals concerning rural needs and way of life. This point has created political attitudes which are detrimental to the adoption of regional government at this time. In summary, there exists a conflict between the idealistic imposition of regional government versus popular recognition of the concept. The thesis purports to show that resolution of this stalemate might be aided by a recognition of the present existence of informal regions and the corresponding existence of inter-dependence of nodal-centers and their surrounding areas.
This is done by examining the relevance of current regional theory and literature pertaining to regional planning and central place theory. Several empirical studies and regional workshops were examined to comprehend previous attempts to establish a basis for regionalizing the province. The pattern of average daily traffic volume was used to delimit areas of activity that have developed naturally. An intuitive information letter provided an insight on how the public debate has strayed off the track; where the debate now stands regarding regional government; and what degree of progress is immediately feasible.
The thesis concludes that informal regions exist to a degree that will sufficiently display the urban-rural community of interest and will enable problem-solving to occur predominantly on the required regional scale in respect of the type of issues discussed above. Finally, a new functional organization is suggested to act on these findings / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate
