Will Represent Voice Of Saskatchewan Students.

Plans have been announced to form Saskatchewan’s first provincial youth council.

The Minister of Education will be looking to the youth council to provide advice and leadership on how to engage youth on a variety of topics. Those students selected for the youth council will have an important role in defining working principles, the council’s direction moving forward and representing their peers.

The 12 members selected for the minister’s youth council will come from every region of the province and bring diverse interests, backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. Nominations will be sought from school divisions, First Nations and Métis education organizations and directors of independent schools throughout the province. They will be asked to nominate students entering grades 10, 11 or 12 in the 2019-20 school year who they believe would make a significant contribution serving on the council.

Information packages with further information on the nomination criteria will be distributed to the nominating organizations in the coming weeks. An initial in-person gathering of the minister’s youth council will be planned in the fall of 2019.

Do think splitting votes with new party may not just help the NDP

Yes… it is obvious .

people don’t even know how to think outside of the federal financing box. i dream and pray for a province that keeps itself healthy and heals one another and does not even have to depend on the established “healthcare” system nearly to the degree it does. do we need more money than we have to make our healthcare bigger and better or do we need a much healthier population who won’t need “healthcare” as much. and thus we wont need federal dollars for its maintenance. the same can go for education and all the other areas. Only by thinking outside of the box we have been conditioned to subsist in, can we get out of that box. May many do so. may we be the example

We don't want any strings attached.

Let’s be free to make our own decisions.

We should have a republic system which would give us provincial autonomy

There are to many people today who are so dependent on government for every day decisions, I'm surprised they can't take a shit without permission.
