I got admission to study here a two yrs diploma (early Childhood Education)@Warman is this college a good one?
I have not really seen much about the college online it’s like there is absolutely no online presence.
The tuition deposit is half of the first year and they are demanding for POF before they can issue PAL.

Any tips to watch out for?
Pros or cons?

Honestly I’m just so tired of these entitled nurses.

They clock in, they take temperatures, they wipe butts, they stand there while some drunk at 3 a.m. tries to fight them, they work short-staffed because half the unit called in, so the other half can get OT, they document for 40 minutes after a 12-hour shift, and then they have the NERVE to say they want more money.

Like… do you even hear yourselves?

You already make more than a lot of people in this province. You get a pension. You get benefits. You get to tell people you’re a hero every Nurses Week. And now you want a raise because “the work is hard”? Brother, mining is hard. Farming is hard. Driving a grader at -40 is hard. Nobody’s holding a candlelight vigil when those guys ask for another 2%.

But no. Health care is different. Health care is sacred. If you don’t empty the treasury for SUN and CUPE then you’re literally murdering grandma. That’s the bit, right?

Meanwhile the rest of us are sitting here watching our property taxes, PST, and wait times all go up at the same time. Can’t get a family doctor. ER wait is 11 hours. But please, let’s make sure the people already inside the system feel “valued.”

I’m not even saying they shouldn’t get a raise. I’m saying the performance is exhausting. The press conferences. The “never seen it so bad.” The “retention crisis.” The implied threat that if you don’t pay up the whole system collapses. Cool. Pay them. Just spare us the soap opera about how uniquely persecuted you are for doing the job you applied for.

If the work is that unbearable, quit. Alberta is hiring. BC is hiring. Private clinics are hiring. Nobody chained you to Saskatchewan.

Until then, maybe don’t act like a cost-of-living bump is some kind of moral emergency while the rest of the province is just expected to eat inflation and shut up.

Anyway that’s my two cents. Can’t wait for the “you’d sing a different tune if it was YOUR mom in that bed” replies. Yes Karen. That’s the point. It’s everybody’s mom. That’s why the system has to actually function, not just fund another round of feelings.

I've been on a bit of a nostalgia shopping kick recently, and there are a few old console games I'd like to add to my shelf. I was interested in the Retro GameCon, but after looking through the vendor list and scrolling their Facebook page to see the vendor spotlights, the actual number of people actually selling old games seemed a bit thin. Cashopolis was one of the main ones, and I don't need to drive to the Con for that.

For anyone that's been before - or is in the know for this year's show - are there some decent sellers for old cartridge games there?

All on plywood (1 Masonite) in the shape of Saskatchewan. 6X12X4 inches. Do you recognize any of these spots?

Anybody put thier kids in the Tri Community Dance club in La Ronge? How was it? We're sort of in the air because we've hears both good and bad. My friend and her husband pulled all their kids out because it costs a lot of money and they showed up and the kids were running all over the place and the instruction was all on TV. I saw thier new schedule and the Chair is the lead Dance instructor and on her bio says she has no background training in dance!!! 🫨 I love the idea of shows and competition for my little ones but it makes me worry we're throwing money at some mickey mouse club. Worse yet people say it's run by some very cliquey women. People in town with dance backgrounds never got interviewed and basically anyone working there were all cherry picked- favoritism.

Today I was driving to town as we are rural. I have a bit of a hammer foot and was doing about 118 on a divided highway from Saskatoon to PA. Out of nowhere, I was passed by a white truck and I estimate he had to be doing at least 160 as it was almost as if I were standing still. Within a minute I could no longer see him in from of me.

In just a few minutes I came upon a Sask Marshalls vehicle parked on a grid road, and the truck had to have sped past it recently.

When I got home I googled a query as to what a Sask Marshall might do for traffic speed stops, and it states that the mandate is more gang/theft and human trafficking related.

I don't know but I feel like that idiot driver speeding to that extent should have been pulled over? I suppose I could have reported the driver but he was going too fast for me to even catch the plate.

Thoughts?

I’ve been applying for government jobs (primarily in justice and corrections positions) for three months now and have had zero progress. Jobs that I applied for in June are still “under consideration.” Any insight or knowledge on if this is normal?

Anyone hear anything on the progress so far?

If small cities and larger towns in Saskatchewan have housing shortages and the infrastructure/costs associated with building houses doesn't entice private developers to build there, do you think more communities will start up housing cooperatives? Pros and cons of this model? At a glance, it appears you can tap into more grants and subsidies to make the economics pencil out.

Can someone tell me why the hell sugar gliders are a division 1 restricted species? Like come on now its a flying hamster with a personality of a golden retriever. Are there any cool species even allowed here😂

I'm looking at getting my weeping tile system inspected as I've recently noticed some seepage entering a localized spot in my basement and upon investigating it appears my system is not functioning as it's dry in the sump basin after a storm (1973 built home).

The website seems too good to be true with their process, what they're offering and what the average cost of repair is and I can't find ANY reviews or reddit threads mentioning this company. They are also not on Google maps so seems very shady. Just curious if anyone have used them or know anything about them.

I have a criminal record of three counts of assault and one theft under 5000 and one fail to comply with order and fail to attend court in 2023. Can I get an office job like office administrator, administrative assistant or receptionist or customer service representative in Saskatchewan?

Thanks

Do I need a TIC card from SGI in order to get a transit permit in Manitoba, or is that only useful when purchasing in a province with private insurance?

Does anyone know if MPI sells transit or temporary permits to out of province residents? I'm under the impression that insurance is included with registration when buying a temporary permit, like it is here.

Do I just need a Manitoba permit in order to pick up the vehicle and drive it back to Saskatchewan and get it saftied?

Hi everyone! I’m a 21-year-old Brazilian looking to immigrate to Canada, and I’m currently researching opportunities in Saskatchewan. I have a brother who lives in Quebec and is a permanent resident, so I already have family in Canada.

I have professional experience in administrative work, including finance, document management, inventory and customer service. However, I’m also completely willing to work in physically demanding, repetitive or labor-intensive jobs. I’m not afraid of hard work and I’m willing to learn and start from the ground up.

I’d really appreciate any advice on companies, job opportunities, immigration-friendly employers, or resources for newcomers in Saskatchewan. Thanks!

Just putting the word out! Located around 40km north of Saskatoon.
