SASKATOON Saskatchewan s official opposition is calling for more action in the province s north as Hatchet Lake Dene Nation grapples with an outbreak linked to 109 cases as of Tuesday. “This is a crisis, and this government needs to act. Long-standing housing and infrastructure shortages in the community are making the problem worse,” said NDP northern affairs critic Doyle Vermette said in a news release. The party says it is concerned that 20 per cent of cases are thought to be related to the Delta variant strain of COVID-19. The NDP called on the Sask. Party government to take steps such as deploying mobile vaccination teams, work with leaders to increase vaccination rates in the north and address the looming crisis around lack of patients isolation space and potential need for ventilators.

Annette Custer, who identified herself Tuesday as the woman involved in a videotaped incident where she was pinned to the ground by a Saskatoon FreshCo security guard, had her dignity stripped from her, says a lawyer representing the Indigenous woman. Too often … this type of treatment of Indigenous people, especially Indigenous women, goes unnoticed, said Michael Seed, legal counsel for the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations. It gets routed into the shadows and gets forgotten.
