{contact.email_greeting}, Are you ready for summer? Here's to embracing longer days and a season filled with limitless opportunities! May and June have been bustling with excitement and significant milestones, such as: - Honouring the remarkable contributions of an incredible volunteer and long-time donor, Karen Davis. Her unwavering support has been invaluable to our mission.
- Concluding our record-breaking Breathe Strong raffle, which surpassed all expectations and set new benchmarks for our fundraising efforts.
- Celebrating the outstanding achievements of our dedicated staff member, Jennifer May, who received a well-deserved and exciting recognition for her exceptional contributions.
- Welcoming three new community members to our Board of Directors, each bringing fresh perspectives and expertise to help guide our organization.
These accomplishments reflect the hard work and dedication of our lung family, and the steadfast support of our community. Together, we continue to improve lung health, one breath at a time. Lung diseases and threats to lung health do not discriminate, and neither do we. We are dedicated to fostering an environment of Reconciliation, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (REDI), within our organization and the communities we serve. We take pride in working to protect and support all people with lungs. The National Indigenous Peoples Day observed on June 21st celebrates the heritage, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples in Canada. At Lung Saskatchewan, we work to honour the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, specifically addressing calls to action #18 – 24, #57, and #69. We will continue to reflect, learn, and seek vital changes to advance truth and reconciliation in our organization and community. Health Care Professionals, did you know the Professional Education Portal provides links to research articles, announcements, studies, webinars, and other news updates? Your time invested reading these articles and watching the videos can be logged towards recertification and continuing education. Our Inspired Breathing recorded events will be available on the portal for on-demand viewing, as well as RESPTREC webinar series presentations. Please note our summer office hours are changing. From now until September 1st, our office building will be closed on Fridays, giving our staff the opportunity to make the most of the beautiful Saskatchewan summer. Thank you for your continued support in our mission. Please take the time to enjoy every breath this summer. Erin Kuan President & CEO |
