Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a fatal inherited disorder, affecting mainly the lungs and the digestive system.

The John Howard Society of Alberta is a non-profit agency concerned with the problem of crime and its prevention. The organization takes its name and spirit from the 18th century humanitarian John Howard, whose name has become a symbol of humane consideration for prisoners. It was incorporated in 1949, and today the organization consists of six separately incorporated districts along with the Provincial Office. We believe that crime control is as much the responsibility of the community as it is of government. Through involvement with the John Howard Society, as members or volunteers, people in the community play an active role in the criminal justice process by providing programs for offenders and their families, ex-offenders, young persons and the public.

All schools teach from a worldview, whether explicitly or tacitly, which helps define life's meaning and purpose. At Master's we teach from a Judea Christian perspective. All areas of curriculum at Master's are developed from this premise with instruction and guidance given from a Christian perspective. Since 1997, Master's Academy and College has been developing its 21st century learning model called, Profound Learning™. The Profound Learning™ model, with its signature of innovation and creativity, elevates the academic performance of all students while simultaneously preparing them to be FUTURE READY. Today, Master's Profound Learning™ model is a reality – students become researchers, engineers and designers of the future by engaging in learning experiences designed to cultivate FUTURE READY skills.

The regular artistic season of La Troupe du Jour includes two shows produced by the company and two other visiting shows from other theatrical companies. La Troupe du Jour offers as well other activities related to the preparation of future plays (public readings, experimental theatre, etc.).

This Writers' circle aims at developping three different plays over a three year period and at different stages allowing a rotation of plays written and produced locally. Another goal pursued by La Troupe du Jour is to offer theatrical workshops to schools and community members all across Saskatchewan.
