Jamieson was moved to the General Hospital in Regina and now is back in Moosomin, but he still has a long recovery period ahead of him. When people in the communities in the surrounding area heard about this, there came a wave of support for the family. A cow pie bingo was organized to get Jamieson’s livestock involved in fundraising. There was also a Conexus Credit Union account set up under the name Love 4 Levi where people could simply deposit donations. Two local hockey teams and two local businesses also showed their support for Levi and the Jamieson family and the Predators softball team came out one last time show why they were champions.

“The last thing we want is for our new colleague to burn out with all the new work that there is to do,” Hinz said.
