As the holiday season approaches, many in our community may need a little extra support. If you know someone who could benefit from a helping hand, we invite you to nominate them for one of five Christmas hamper baskets or one of thirty Co-op gift cards, courtesy of the Young Workers Committee and Nursing Care Committee.
October 1 - 7 is Food Services Week and gives us a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the hardworking people who work within Food Services. These folks keep residents and patients safe by working with the entire team to ensure each person's dietary needs are met, while preparing and storing food safely to prevent foodborne illness.
A typical day for Jennifer includes a great deal of food preparation, including trays for each patient, as well as beverage and lunch cart set up. She is also responsible for delivering meals to patients and daily clean up. The best part of her job is interacting with the patients, but she mentions that she has awesome coworkers too! Jennifer was inspired to become a cook because of her love of cooking for people. We asked her to share a memorable moment with us and she said that one of her patient's sons told her "Your chicken noodle soup tastes just like my mom's soup." Not only is that a lovely moment, but it feels particularly heartwarming when combined with Jennifer's love of cooking for people.
To Jennifer, and to everyone who works in Food Services, thank you for all that you do. Your care and attention keep people safe and healthy, while providing nourishment.

Dear Members,
We want to thank those who were able to come out last week to attend our very successful media event at the Legislature in Regina. It was great to see members from the three Health Care Provider Unions (HPUs) from across the province stand together in solidarity. During Question Period, multiple MLAs asked questions to the Premier and the Minister of Health on our behalf. We were also able to have meetings with the Opposition Caucus and the Minister of Health to address our concerns over the slow pace of bargaining and the state of health care in our province.
