Brexit will not have big impact on Sask. exports In the wake of a United Kingdom vote to leave the European Union (EU), Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said he doesn’t expect the UK exit from the 28-state union of European countries to have much of an impact on Saskatchewan’s economy. There has been significant speculation about the financial and trade consequences of the UK leaving the EU. “While (the) vote is obviously significant, we do not expect that much of an effect on Saskatchewan exports,” said Wall in a media release from the Government of Saskatchewan. “We are well-positioned to stay strong through the near-term Brexit
volatility.” Wall said in the release that Saskatchewan’s top export markets are the United States, Asian-Pacific markets, including China, India, Japan, Indonesia and Bangladesh. In 2015, those countries made up over 77 per cent of Saskatchewan’s $32.6 billion in exports. “The European Union, while important, accounted for slightly less than four per cent of Saskatchewan’s exports in 2015, and the UK specifically made up just 0.3 per cent,” Wall said. “Our ties to both the EU and the United Kingdom will continue.”
Thank You On behalf of the family of ‘Hilda Eagles’, we would like to extend our greatest appreciation to everyone for the phone calls, cards, letters, prayers, flowers, food and donations to Gideons International and the Trinity Lutheran Church Memorial Fund in her name. Special thanks to Dr. Omosigho, nurses and staff of 2A for the exceptional and compassionate care she received during her stay at St. Joseph’s Hospital. At her Time of Remembrance Service we would like to thank her seven grandsons for honouring her as her pallbearers, to Pastor Stewart Miller for leading the wonderful service (and for his visits at the hospital), organist Wilma Mantei and the choir led by Anita Kuntz. Thanks to Yvonne Clark and all the staff at Hall’s Funeral Service for your patience and understanding during this difficult time. Thank you to everyone who visited her while she was in the hospital, she enjoyed and appreciated the time you took to stop in. A very special thank you to the residents of Trinity Towers that made her feel so at home for the past 16 years. She enjoyed very much living there and it was because of all of you! “We are blessed to have had her love and presence in our lives for so many years.”
