Saskatoon Updates

Do you remember the two fabulous IAWP 2006 Conference Co-Directors? Both of these women have kept busy in the past 5 years, and don't show any signs of slowing down soon. Both have risen through the ranks since thier conference experience and both remain committed to the the Saskatoon community.

Inspector Shelley Ballard is taking part in the Saskatoon Food Bank Challenge this week. Starting today, a dozen Saskatoon citizens will be trying to live off the contents of a food basket from the food bank for one week. A typical food basket contains 2-3 days worth of food but many people make it last a week or more. In addition to the food basket we can use up to 5 pantry items (flour, sugar, coffee, etc.) and spend up to $5 on other food items. The goal is to raise awareness and start some meaningful discussions.

Shelley will be blogging about her experiences during this week. Please check with her updates at http://foodbankchallenge.com:80/archives/213.

And...it seems that somewhere in the past five years I have missed a promotion. Staff Sergeant Sue Grant (was Sergeant Grant during the 2006 Conference) of the Saskatoon Police Service has put her organizational skills to another test.

Staff Sergeant Grant has been working hard over the past couple years as the Project Liaison for our new Headquarters building which will be completed in 2013. The ground breaking ceremony in June was a very exciting day for Sue and things are going full speed ahead!
