VOLUME 1, ISSUE 2

REACHING OUT
It was a busy month of April in Ottawa and in Saskatoon.   I am on the Heritage Committee and we continued our extensive work on the future of the media industry.  Some of the heavyweights in the business have dropped by my office like Paul Godrey from Postmedia, Bell Media, Shaw Media and C-PAC.  We have welcomed many Saskatoon groups into our office like the firefighters, paramedics, the fertilizer association and the financial advisors association. 
 
Back in the riding, we attended the Holocaust Memorial with guest speaker Nate Leipciger, the Saskatoon Airport Authority Annual Meeting, the Canadian citizenship ceremony at TCU and the funding announcement for the Saskatoon Minor football facility.  We also attended the Battle of the Atlantic community dinner at HMCS Unicorn and the MS walk to raise much needed funds.  I have enjoyed and look forward to delivering birthday messages to my constituents. 

Please stop into our office in Saskatoon for any of your concerns and if you happen to be in Ottawa, please come and see us in the Confederation Building.

2016 GOVERNOR GENERAL`S AWARDS IN COMMEMORATION OF THE PERSONS CASE



Persons Case Awards 2016 – Celebrating progress toward gender equality
 
Canadians have until June 24 to submit nominations for the Governor General’s Awards in Commemoration of the Persons Case
 
May 4, 2016 – Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
 
On behalf of Status of Women Canada, Kevin Waugh, MP for Saskatoon-Grasswood is calling for nominations for the 2016 Governor General's Awards in Commemoration of the Persons Case. Each year, these awards recognize five individuals, including youth, who have made outstanding contributions in the pursuit of gender equality in Canada.
 
The struggle for gender equality is far from over. Data show a persistent gender wage gap, high rates of violence towards women, and a very real glass ceiling faced by women seeking leadership positions. It is the efforts of all Canadians that are helping to move us closer to gender equality.
 
The 2015 recipients were the Honourable Monique Bégin (Ottawa, ON), Marie-Thérèse Chicha (Montreal, QC), Dr. Ruth Elwood Martin (Vancouver, BC), Sheila McIntyre (Ottawa, ON) and Dee M. Dooley (Youth Recipient - Halifax, NS). They were recognized because their successes have helped shape Canada for the better and we have all benefited from their achievements.
 
Canada needs more women and men, boys and girls, to step up if we are to make more progress toward gender equality. It is important to recognize the achievements of individuals, so that their successes may inspire others. While nominations are accepted all year, the deadline for nominating someone for the 2016 awards is June 24. To get inspired, visit the Status of Women Canada website, which includes a list of past recipients, videos, and the nomination package.
   
“Our community is home to countless outstanding activists, volunteers, leaders and professionals who inspire us every day with their work to enhance the lives of women and girls in Canada.  I urge everyone in Saskatoon-Grasswood to consider nominating a neighbour or colleague for a Persons Case Award. Give someone the recognition they deserve and show Canada that gender equality matters.”

Member of Parliament Saskatoon-Grasswood
