Nutrien, the Government of Saskatchewan and the University of Saskatchewan (USask) have endorsed the new direction of the Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) in a renewed agreement, providing additional funding to support the Institute’s next phase of growth.

Founded by the three entities in 2012, GIFS works with partners to discover, develop and deliver innovative solutions for the production of globally sustainable food.

To accommodate its plans for its next phase of operations, GIFS has relocated to an expansive facility at Innovation Place, Saskatoon. The move allows the Institute restructure its work around its science programs and new state-of –the-art technology platforms – to support research and development that will enhance digital agriculture, accelerate plant breeding, increase quality crop yield and build plant resilience to climate change. www.gifs.ca

One in four Canadians have considered a career change amidst the COVID pandemic, and Hometown Homes, one of Saskatoon’s newest home building companies, is one of those statistics.

Owned by husband-and-wife, Kurt and Rodelle Genoway, home building was never a plan in their career paths.

Kurt, a journeyperson electrician who has been in the industry for over a decade and running his electrical contracting business since 2013, and Rodelle, a manufacturing executive, recently took the entrepreneurial leap to quit their stable lines of work and go all-in designing and building houses with an emphasis on curating a memorable client experience.

Their first build, which was intended to be a side project, sold just as COVID was beginning. The next 18 months was spent juggling their regular jobs on top of seven more builds. It was during that time they discovered their passion for the industry; the design, building spaces that create conversations, the challenge of running a smooth project, and building relationships with new clients. www.hometownhomes.ca

A full lube service company with shops in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Our process is to first do a computer look-up of the manufacturer’s recommendation for your specific vehicle by its VIN number. We then do a computer look-up of your vehicle’s service history. After that we perform a 37+ point inspection that detects any safety, fluid, filter, mechanical or tire issues present at the time of service. These 3 major steps are critical in formulating timely, accurate, and all-encompassing recommendations every single time! Stop by and let us help you determine your service needs, today. www.lubestop-saskatoon.ca

NEESH Dental, much the same as the rest of humanity over the last 2 years, has not been immune from the effects of the COVID pandemic.

Aside from the business difficulties and challenges of being a front-line health care provider at the time of this crisis, our team has had the bounty of experiencing and seeing much positivity. Digital diagnostics and treatment-planning, virtual consultations, CAD-CAM prosthetic fabrications, and contactless transactions have all been utilized and adopted to allow our clients and patients much safer and assured experiences and interactions. With “stress” being the modern epidemic of our society, sleep apnea and snoring, as well as tooth clenching and grinding have been in the forefront of our preventive treatments. www.neeshdental.com
