All aboard!!\u00a0 Yes, the first chapter west of Ontario is about to be launched in Saskatchewan<\/strong>.\u00a0 Together with Women in Mining, WiN-Saskatchewan will host a networking opportunity for women in nuclear medicine, academia and science to officially announce the launching of the Saskatchewan Chapter of WiN.\u00a0 This opportunity will provide an important venue for other members of WiN-Canada to interact with the new WiN-Saskatchewan chapter members and to meet the members of our sister organization, Women in Mining (WIM).\u00a0 WIM is a logical group to join forces with in Saskatchewan since so many of our members will have ties to both organizations.\u00a0 We invite as many of the WiN members in other parts of Canada to come and join in with the celebration.<\/p>\n

As many of you may know, Saskatchewan has a history with nuclear.\u00a0<\/strong> Last year, the Government of Saskatchewan announced the development of the Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation at the University of Saskatchewan.\u00a0 In addition, this province is one of the world\u2019s largest producers of uranium and employs a large number of women in that sector.\u00a0 The University of Saskatchewan pioneered the use of cobalt 60 in cancer treatments.\u00a0 And, Saskatchewan also has the Canadian Light Source synchrotron and a slowpoke reactor!\u00a0 Nuclear is not new to Saskatchewan but having a WiN chapter will be!<\/p>\n

The Canadian Nuclear Society has been very supportive and has presented us with this opportunity to get together and celebrate the launching of the new chapter at TCU Place during the CNS 33rd Annual Conference and 36th Annual Student Conference in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.<\/strong>\u00a0 Important to note, you can attend the WiN meeting without attending the CNS Conference.\u00a0 Hence, we will need to have members RSVP in advancetheir attendance so we can arrange entry with the CNS conference registrar.\u00a0 A letter of welcome and an invitation to the meeting is attached to this email.\u00a0 The formal part of the agenda will be kept short to allow time for networking and interaction.\u00a0 So, the more people that can attend the better.\u00a0 This is an exciting milestone for Saskatchewan!<\/p>\n

As the chapter gets organized, there will be an announcement on the WiN-Canada website (www.wincanada.org) introducing the new leadership group.\u00a0 However, until the leadership is in place for WiN-Saskatchewan, all inquiries or comments can be sent to Kathryn Black by email at kblack@saskpower.com or by phone at 306 566-3127!\u00a0 RSVPs for the event can also be sent to Kathryn at the same contact email.<\/p>\n

We are looking forward to welcoming all of the WiN-Canada members who can attend to join us in Saskatoon for this important chapter launch and networking event.<\/p>\n
