Marie-Louise Wittlin, a native of Switzerland, attended the Seminar Bernarda, Menzingen, where she obtained a Teaching Degree in Home Economics in 1963, specializing in fashion design, art and costume history, and tailoring. For the next three years, she taught courses in dressmaking, tailoring, and textiles at the School of Home Economics, Sissach, Switzerland. In 1968, Wittlin moved to Saskatoon. It was not until 1975 that she combined her skill with fabric and design with her love of the theatre. In that year, she designed the costumes for University of Saskatchewan French Department's production of "Le Tartuffe." That first production opened up a new direction in Wittlin's life. She was to go on to design and create costumes for several amateur and professional theater groups including Gateway Players, 25th Street House, Greystone Theatre, Magnus Theatre, Persephone Theatre, The Riverbank Opera Company, Theatre Rosthern, Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan, and Unitheatre. In 1979, she enrolled in the University of Saskatchewan's Department of Drama and graduated in 1984 with Great Distinction. From 1983 until 1994, Wittlin was the Head of Wardrobe, Resident Costume Designer with Saskatoon's Persephone Theatre. She joined the faculty of the Department of Drama at the U of S in 1994.

Helen (Schellenberg) Wittenberg was a long-time registered nurse and active community volunteer. She was born August 17, 1928 in Blumenort, Saskatchewan to Peter J. Schellenberg (January 28, 1886, South Russia – November 30, 1966, New Westminster, B.C.) and Agatha (Dyck) Schellenberg (May 22, 1889, Neu Chortitza, Baratov, South Russia – June 18, 1967, Abbotsford, B.C.). Helen was the youngest child in a family of three sons and two daughters. Helen married John Wittenberg, son of Jakob Wittenberg (1878-1956) and Katharina (Wiens) Wittenberg (1891-1979) on August 22,1953 in Abbotsford, B.C. ; they raised two daughters and one son. Helen died April 11, 2015 at the Menno Home in Abbotsford, B.C.

Helen grew up in rural Saskatchewan, where her father Peter Schellenberg made his living as a farmer and blacksmith. From her earliest years, Helen had a passion for healing sick animals and helping ailing neighbors. Her mother Agatha, the midwife for the Swift Current, Saskatchewan municipality, inspired Helen with an ever-ready bag of medical instruments, her engaging stories, and sturdy work ethic. In this setting Helen’s passion for nursing was vigorously nurtured. After completing elementary school in Blumenort, Helen earned her secondary school diploma by completing Saskatchewan Department of Education correspondence courses, allowing her to graduate in the Wymark, Saskatchewan School District.

When the Schellenberg family moved to Abbotsford, British Columbia in 1948, Helen decided to enter the nursing profession. With a gift of $100.00 from her brother Peter to pay for entrance costs, Helen began her studies at St. Paul’s School of Nursing. She graduated with honors in 1951, and earned a special diploma in bedside nursing for emergency and cardiac wards. She chose to continue working at St. Paul’s until 1953, when she relocated to Ontario to pursue further professional training at the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital.

Helen met her future husband John in Kitchener, ON during this time, and they were married in August 1953 at the South Abbotsford Mennonite Brethren Church. They returned to Ontario where John had contracted to teach at Eden Christian College in Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON. Helen began working in the Hotel Dieu Hospital in St. Catharines, and then as an office nurse. Two years later the Wittenberg family moved to Abbotsford where Helen found employment in the Matsqui, Sumas, & Abbotsford Hospital. To expand their horizons, in 1965 the young family moved to Tabora, Tanzania where John taught English at the Kazina Secondary School and Helen became the "go-to nurse," dealing with all manner of emergencies.

After returning to Abbotsford, Helen resumed employment in the MSA Hospital. In 1973 she joined four nursing friends to pioneer a new Government of B.C .Department of Health initiative – Home Care Nursing. This programme allowed patients to recuperate in their own homes with regular nurse visits, as needed. The Home Care Nursing program was so successful that it was expanded provincially, a source of professional satisfaction for Helen.

After her retirement from the Home Care Program in 1988, Helen was invited by the Menno Place and by the Fraser Valley Health Region to organize a "visiting nurse" practice for the Menno Pavilion. When Helen retired from this program in 1998, she had completed fifty-one years of nursing.

He attended Luther College in Regina, and earned Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws degrees from the University of Saskatchewan in 1954. While attending university, Wilson wrote for its newspaper, The Sheaf, and in the 1953-54 school year was the newspaper's editor.

After graduation, Wilson articled under F.B. Bagshaw. In 1955, he was called to the bar, admitted to the Law Society of Saskatchewan, and became a partner in Bagshaw, Neville & Wilson, a private law firm in Regina. Along with his private practice, Wilson was a Regina City Prosecutor in 1958. During his career, Wilson was a partner in the following law firms: Neville & Wilson; Wilson & Rendek; Wilson, Drummond & Whitmore; Wilson & Drummond; Wilson, Drummond, Findlay & Neufeld; Wilson, Harmel, Drummond; Wilson & Company; and Wilson Rasmussen. In addition, Wilson served as counsel to the Regina Police Service and the Association of Professional Engineers of Saskatchewan for several years. Wilson was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1968. He was Chair of the Saskatchewan Public Service Commission (1964-1965) and of the Regina Rail Relocation Committee (1973-1982). In 2005, he was awarded an honourary life membership to the Law Society of Saskatchewan.

Wilson was active with the provincial and federal Liberal parties in the 1960s and 1970s. He was involved in the campaign of provincial Liberal leader Ross Thatcher in 1964, and served as the Liberal Party's campaign manager for the 1967 election.

Douglas Wilson was born in 1950 in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan. He received his Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Saskatchewan, with majors in Art and History. He taught public school in Makwa, Saskatchewan, in 1969-1970 and 1973-1974. He did post-graduate work in Educational Foundations at the University of Saskatchewan between 1974 and 1976. During this period, he worked as a sessional lecturer and supervisor of practice teaching for the College of Education.

While living in Saskatoon during the early 1970s, Wilson was actively and visibly involved in the gay liberation movement. He was instrumental in the organization and administration of groups such as the Zodiac Friendship Society (later the Gay Community Centre of Saskatoon) and the Saskatchewan Gay Coalition. The latter organization fought for the human rights of homosexuals in the province, and in the late 1970s, Wilson was the group's leading activist.

On September 22, 1975, Dean J. Kirkpatrick of the College of Education suspended Wilson's work as a supervisor of practice teaching in public schools, on the grounds of Wilson's open admission of his homosexuality and his public involvement in the gay liberation movement. A Committee to Defend Doug Wilson was formed to fight the university's action, and Wilson placed a formal complaint with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission. The inquiry was never held, as the Court of Queen's Bench ruled that sexuality was not covered by The Fair Employment Practices Act.

In 1978, Wilson became the Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Association on Human Rights, a position which he held until 1983. In 1983, he and his partner Peter McGehee moved to Toronto, Ontario where he worked for the Toronto Board of Education's Race Relations office. Wilson became the first openly gay candidate to run in a federal election, when he ran unsuccessfully as the NDP candidate for Rosedale in the 1988 election.

Wilson died in Toronto in 1992.
