International Potash Technology Conference

  • Collectivité
  • 1983-

"It was late in 1979 when Mr. Cliff Haryett of the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan suggested to Dr. RC Quittenton, Executive Director of Innovation Place...that an international Potash Technology Conference be held in Saskatoon. They envisioned a conference, together with a Trade Show, to highlight the technology that had been developed by the Saskatchewan Potash Industry and to promote Saskatoon as the world centre for present and future potash technology....By the end of January 1982, the first notice of the International Potash Technology Conference was announced nationally and internationally....the date for the conference was set for October 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 1983." (From James Sadler, "Foreword," Potash Technology.)

Association of Retired Faculty Members (University of Saskatchewan)

  • Collectivité

The Association of Retired Faculty Members, University of Saskatchewan, was formed in June 1975. Its purpose was to fight for cost-of-living adjustments for faculty pensions, as had been given for the University of Regina, teachers, and civil servants. Additional areas of concern included pensions for widows, correction of penalties for early retirement, and the need to have a pension formula which guaranteed a minimum pension income.

Tennis Club

  • Collectivité

Open to faculty, staff and students, the Tennis Club was strictly a recreational club. Faculty were allowed the privilege of exclusive use of one tennis court in exchange for higher membership dues. A "Play Committee" consisting of three faculty and three students was established, to arrange for matches and tournaments, and to organize court use. Initial membership fees were $3.00 for male members of faculty; $0.50 for associate members; and $1.50 for ladies, students playing all summer, or any member of the faculty absent for 3 months while on vacation. Although the Tennis Club executive eventually expanded to include a "Social Committee," by 1946 increased court maintenance costs and greatly increased student enrollments forced the Club to "formally dissolve itself with the request that the University make arrangements for the future care and maintenance of the courts and the regulation and supervision of tennis on the campus."

University of Saskatchewan Students' Union

  • Collectivité

Originally "The Students' Union of the University of Saskatchewan," or SUUS, this organization was formed "to promote the general interest of the students; to constitute a recognized medium of communication between the University authorities, the public and the students; and, except where otherwise provided, to supervise and control all student organizations and the conduct and activities of students in connection with the University." The "legislative, executive, and judicial" powers of the USSU were vested in the Students' Representative Council, or SRC.

Campus Radio Station (University of Saskatchewan)

  • Collectivité
  • 1965-1985

In 1959, a group calling themselves "University Radio Productions" approached the federal government for a broadcast license to operate a student-run FM station on a non-commercial basis. Licensing requirements demanded that licenses only be issued to the university itself; in 1960 students approached the Board of Governors for approval. Operation of the station, including a constitution, was formalized in 1965 between the University and the Student's Union (USSU), and CJUS-FM was launched. For 10 years prior to the establishment of a CBC-FM station in Saskatoon, CJUS carried CBC network programming; and many of the station's locally-produced programmes were carried nation-wide. Originally operating out of the Memorial Union Building (MUB), in 1980 the station moved to the Education Building. In October 1983, the station became a limited commercial station, and changed its call numbers to CHSK-FM. However, by late 1984 the Board of Governors decided not to continue their funding. Although the USSU briefly considered taking full responsibility for running the station, the last day of programming was 30 September 1985.

Saskatchewan Agriculture Graduates' Association

  • Collectivité

In their constitution adopted 11 January 1938, the "Saskatchewan Agricultural College Graduates Association" defined 4 objectives: "to promote the social interests of graduates of the College of Agriculture, University of Saskatchewan; to promote closer relationships among graduates and between the graduates and the College, including both faculty and students; to assist whenever possible in securing positions for graduates of the College; and to co-operate with the University Alumni Association in their efforts to promote the interests of the University as a whole." Membership was open to all graduates of the College, "regular or ad eundem, Degree or Associate," and to honorary members as recommended by the Executive and elected by the membership. By 1964 "College" had been deleted from the organizational title; and rather than assisting in securing positions, the objective became "to keep graduates informed of recent developments in the various Agricultural fields." Membership was open to graduates of the College or School of Agriculture, and was extended to anyone who had discontinued either a degree or diploma course after two years of study (without receiving a diploma) if their class had since graduated. Those taking Agricultural Science through the College of Graduate Studies were also eligible.

Ore Gangue Geological Society

  • Collectivité

The Ore Gangue, the geological students' society, is one of the oldest students' societies at the University of Saskatchewan. Established in 1934, with faculty--and faculty wives--as honorary members, the society promotes academic activities and competitions, sponsors social and athletic events, and publishes the geology students' yearbook, "The Concentrates." In a 50th anniversary tribute, the head of the Department of Geology also noted the Society's "intangible" contribution of "promoting...good relationship between students, faculty and staff...It is no accident that when the department speaks, it speaks as a united department and presents a common front. The Ore Gangue is in no small measure responsible for such success as the department has enjoyed."

Moose Jaw Number 9 Scout Hall

  • Collectivité
  • [193-?]-?

The Moose Jaw Number 9 Scout Hall was initially a barn located on Cartier Avenue in the 1930s. Miss Myrtle Dixon was one of the first the Club Leaders and the first female Club Leader in Saskatchewan. Funds were eventually raised to move the Scout Hall to a vacant building on 8th Avenue and Hochelaga East. A foundation and plumbing were also constructed for the building from the raised funds.

It was again decided to find or create a larger space to accommodate the growing number of boy scouts, cubs, and guides, and brownies. Funds were raised to enlarge the size of the existing Scout Hall, the designs having been developed by Michael Murray.

Michael and Iris Murray were significant members of the Scout Hall. Michael joined in October, 1956 and became Scout Leader. His wife, Iris, joined the Scout Hall on October 31, 1957.

The construction of a new hall was marked by a cornerstone being laid by then Mayor L.H. Lewry on April 5, 1965. The new hall was completed in 1967.

The scout hall was vacant by 1997 when it became occupied by a Moose Jaw Koseikan Judo Club. It is not known when Moose Jaw Number 9 Scout Hall disbanded and dissolved.
