Ontario Invests $9.4 Million in Canadian Light Source Synchrotron
Ontario officials announced the Ontario Innovation Trust (OIT) grant this week at a news conference in London, Ont.
"We're delighted Ontario has joined this unique partnership of universities and civic, provincial and federal governments to create a new tool for science and innovation in Canada - the biggest science project in Canada in more than 30 years," said CLS Inc. director Dr. Michael Bancroft.
OIT executive-director David Bogart said, "As the first such facility in Canada, the CLS will give Ontario researchers greater access to data, reduce our reliance on foreign facilities, and help in the retention and training of Canadian scientists."
The $9.4 million over three years from the OIT will allow construction of most of the initial 10 proposed beamlines (total cost roughly $40 million) that will carry synchrotron light to experimental workstations.
The money will be given to the Ontario Synchrotron Consortium based at the University of Western Ontario (UWO) which will manage the investment. Other consortium members include the University of Toronto, Queen's University, University of Waterloo and McMaster University. Other universities are expected to join the consortium.
The contribution gives Ontario a new seat on the CLS board of directors (many Ontario scientists are already on the CLS board or existing committees) and priority access to the synchrotron for academics and industry.
U of S President Peter MacKinnon said the OIT investment will help universities all across Canada attract and keep excellent scientists and graduate students who need to use synchrotron light in their research. "Already universities in Saskatchewan and Alberta have seen a 'brain gain' of outstanding Canadian researchers who are returning from the U.S. and Europe to take advantage of the innovative research opportunities at the CLS," he said.
Commenting on behalf of the Government of Canada, Natural Resources Minister Ralph Goodale said, "This significant contribution by the OIT is a major milestone for the CLS and the team which has managed it from its inception. This funding underscores the importance of this project to academic and business interests throughout Canada."
Saskatchewan Economic and Co-operative Development Minister Janice MacKinnon said, "Ontario's investment announcement is another welcome boost to this national research facility. The CLS will shine on Saskatchewan's research excellence and it will have far-reaching benefits for universities and industries right across the country."
When completed in late 2003, the unique-in-Canada facility will provide academic and industrial researchers with a source of very intense beams of infrared, ultraviolet and X-ray light to view the structure and chemical behavior of materials and molecules. This could mean cutting-edge discoveries such as new drugs, improved oil additives, better clean-up of mining wastes or more powerful computer chips.
Bancroft, who has been seconded from the UWO to direct the CLS, stressed that Ontario will be a major beneficiary of the CLS both academically and industrially.
Access to the CLS will expand Ontario's research base and boost the province's competitiveness in the drug, advanced materials and other industries. For example, Ontario scientists who use synchrotron light as a research tool have been working with Ontario companies such as Imperial Oil and Dow Canada Inc. in Sarnia to improve their products.
"There are more than 300 Canadian scientists who are synchrotron users and more than half of them are from Ontario," Bancroft said. "They'll no longer be dependent on foreign synchrotron facilities where the competition for 'beam time' to do experiments can mean waits of more than a year. They'll now be able to plan beamlines and use experimental equipment tailored to their needs."
He noted the more than 150 Ontario researchers in academia and industry who use synchrotrons work in fields as diverse as biology, chemistry, geology, materials science, physics, and medicine.
CLS Inc. is a non-profit and wholly owned subsidiary of the U of S.
Last year, the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) awarded the project the entire request of $56.4 million (40 per cent of new construction costs of $140.9 million -- an existing building and other equipment account for the remaining $32.6 million of the project's $173.5 million total value). This is the largest CFI award to date.
"The CFI is pleased to be a major funding partner in this project, the success of which can only be made possible thanks to an extraordinary level of commitment and cooperation between the U of S and many partners from the public and private sectors, including the OIT and the UWO which we salute today," said Dr. David Strangway, CFI President and CEO. "As a result, researchers will be able to undertake projects that will have a profound impact on many aspects in the lives of Canadians."
The CFI is an independent, not-for-profit organization established by the federal government in 1997 to strengthen the capacity for innovation in Canadian universities and research institutions.
The CFI contributes 40 per cent towards eligible project costs, with universities, colleges, hospitals and not-for-profit research institutions identifying the remaining 60 per cent matching funds.
Other capital funding for the synchrotron facility includes $28.3 million from federal departments, $25 million from the Government of Saskatchewan, $7.3 million from the U of S, $2.4 million from the City of Saskatoon, $2 million from SaskPower Corp. and $300,000 each from the Universities of Alberta and Western Ontario.
It's anticipated the remaining $9.5 million needed for the initial 10 beamlines and experiment stations, plus future funding for an additional 20 beamlines, will flow from other provinces, universities and industry.
The Government of Canada will provide a significant portion of the estimated $13.9 million in annual operating costs (1998 dollars) through agencies such as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, the National Research Council, and the Medical Research Council. Remaining operating costs will be covered by user fees, the U of S and other sources as required.
An estimated 2,000 researchers a year from across Canada and other countries will use the facility once the full complement of beamlines is developed. Eighteen universities across Canada have endorsed the CLS project.

Accounting Students Serve the Community
University of Saskatchewan accounting students are volunteering their time and skills to the community by helping prepare tax returns for seniors, the disabled, and low-income earners.
"Part of being a professional is volunteering your time to the community as well as dealing with clients," said John Brennan, accounting professor. "This program helps prepare the students for both."
This is the 13th year this program has run, and each year over 800 tax returns are completed, saving the community over $40,000 in accounting fees.
Approximately 100 third- and fourth- year students are completing tax forms at 26 locations throughout the city, which include seniors residences, the Abilities Council and Cosmopolitan Industries.
Brennan added that the clients are grateful for the company as well as the services, and often show their gratitude by offering many thank-you's and, sometimes, cookies.
"The students enjoy spending time with their clients," said Brennan. "Some will stay and visit, maybe enjoy a game of cribbage, after the work is done."
The students are not alone: many commerce-accounting faculty and 75 Saskatchewan chartered accountants volunteered to work with the students, ensuring the accuracy of the prepared tax returns.

| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - March 9, 2000 | 2000-03-06-ME |
Found: One Great Essay, Reward: $1,000
The winner of the 2000 scholarship is Randy Linton from Parry, RM of Caledonia, #99. In his essay entitled 'The Importance of Safety and Health in the Farm Workplace,' he wrote, "Our poor judgement, our health and especially our mood all influence our safety. Our best reaction time is slow compared with the high-speed machinery we operate. Our judgement and reaction time is even slower if we are tired, stressed or under the influence of medication. This is the time when we need to be constantly reminded that getting adequate sleep, making time for rest breaks and remembering to work at a pace that is within our physical abilities is especially important. As farmers we know that this is easy to say, but much harder to practice. However, if we pause for a second and really think about it...really, what's a few hours, when it could mean a lifetime?"
The first scholarship was presented by the Centre for Agricultural Medicine in 1997 in order to commemorate the outstanding relationship between SARM, its member municipalities and the Centre for Agricultural Medicine. Funds from auctioning the first copy of SARM's history, entitled "The Building of a Province: Commemorating the 90th Anniversary of the Saskatchewan Association of rural Municipalities," were presented by the Board of Directors to the Centre for Agricultural Medicine. In return, the Centre set up the student essay award to accomplish the double goal of sensitizing rural students to farm health and safety issues and recognizing the tremendous role that SARM has played in agricultural health and safety in the province through support for the Agricultural Health and Safety Network.
The Centre for Agricultural Medicine received approximately 30 applications for this year's scholarship. To qualify, students wrote a 1,000 word essay. The scholarship will be offered again next year, with a deadline for applications early in January. Keep watching for announcements about the Year 2001 SARM Scholarship at your school or RM office.

U of S Marks Brain Awareness Week March 13 to 19
Posted March 08, 2000
| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Wednesday, March 8, 2000 | 2000-03-05-ME |
U of S Marks Brain Awareness Week March 13 to 19
Brain Awareness Week will highlight exciting strides University of Saskatchewan neuroscientists are making to better understand the body's most complicated organ and how to take care of it.
In particular, U of S researchers will give public lectures at the Frances Morrison Library on topics such as age-related changes in the brain, sleep disorders and the importance of sleep, and the devastating effects of alcohol on the unborn child.
"Research in medical sciences and in particular that dealing with developments of the nervous system is advancing at an extraordinary pace," said U of S professor emeritus Sergey Fedoroff.
"Brain Awareness Week was started as a means to increase public awareness about what is going on and what a tremendous task still lies before us."
Begun in 1996, Brain Awareness Week is an international event with more than 35 participating countries. This year's Saskatchewan theme "Your brain is important - take care of it!" will highlight medical research into how to protect the brain, prevent and treat neurological disorders.
Health Minister Pat Atkinson will attend a kick-off dinner March 10 in the Michaelangelo Ballroom of the Ramada Hotel. Professor Ron Doucette of the U of S department of anatomy and cell biology will report on the state of neuroscience research and recent advances made in U of S labs.
During the week, U of S researchers will present public lectures, make TV appearances, speak to service clubs and host a "Brain Show" at Saskatoon City Hospital. As well, graduate students will visit several area elementary and high schools to give presentations on developments of the nervous system.
The Brain Show will take place Sunday, March 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Saskatoon City Hospital atrium. There will be displays highlighting current neuroscience research at U of S, the work of voluntary health agencies and government agencies, a walk through the "brain" displaying 10 interactive stations, video presentations, "brain games" for all ages, and questions-and-answer sessions.
Fedoroff noted disorders of the brain and nervous system afflict one in five North Americans. "The prevalence of neurological disease is enormous. We want to ensure that families coping with these disorders are kept up to date," he said.
The Saskatchewan Neuroscience Network organizes the special week in Saskatoon. Sponsors include Acquired Brain Injury Program of Saskatchewan Health, SGI, Saskatoon District Health, College of Medicine and the U of S.
Judy Junor, Saskatchewan's associate minister of health, signed the Government of Saskatchewan "Brain Awareness Week" proclamation on February 25, 2000.

Saskatchewan Nutrition Survey Shows Decline in Fat Intake
Posted March 03, 2000
| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - March 3, 2000 | 2000-03-04-OTHER |
Saskatchewan Nutrition Survey Shows Decline in Fat Intake
A collaborative project of the U of S, Health Canada and Saskatchewan Health, the study involved interviews with 1,800 randomly selected adults aged 18 to 74 in 11 Saskatchewan locations during 1993 and 1994. (Data processing difficulties and an investigation of the low response rate delayed release of the findings.)
"Saskatchewan residents are doing quite well in terms of their fat intake and they should be congratulated for that," said University of Saskatchewan nutrition professor Alison Stephen.
On average, fat made up almost 34 per cent of total calories consumed by those surveyed. That's close to national nutrition guidelines which say fat should make up no more than 30 per cent of daily caloric intake, and it's down significantly from the 40-per-cent fat intake reported in a 1972 national Nutrition Canada survey.
"This drop in fat intake implies major dietary change," said Stephen. "Saskatchewan residents reduced their fat intake on average by about 20 grams per day which is about equivalent to four teaspoons of butter."
Total daily caloric intake was also down, a finding which reflects similar studies over the past 20 years as people have reduced their fat intake. But low food intake is associated with low or inadequate intake of vital nutrients, Stephen noted.
"We used to be obsessed with fat, but now we're obsessed with not gaining weight," said Stephen.
"The result is that often we're not getting enough of certain nutrients such as iron, zinc,
fibre, folate and others. And we're not eating enough food partly because we're not doing enough exercise. If we were more physically active, we could eat enough to get adequate nutrition. This nutrient deficiency is going to become more critical as we continue to lead sedentary lives."
The study is part of a larger federal-provincial initiative to gain information about nutrient intakes and dietary patterns of adult Canadians. Six experts from across Canada have been invited to evaluate the data and make recommendations.
Co-investigators with Stephen were: Dr. Bruce Reeder from the College of Medicine's department of community health and epidemiology; and Shawna Berenbaum from the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition.
Among the findings:
- Half the women surveyed who were considered normal weight (body
mass index
20-25) were making food choices to lose weight.
- One-quarter of the women aged 18 to 34 were underweight. Of this
group, 15
per cent said they were avoiding or choosing foods to lose weight - even
though they were already underweight (body mass index less than 20).
- One in five Saskatchewan residents surveyed had a BMI of more than 30
which is considered obese. The proportion of obese individuals rose to 30
per cent for all age groups of men over age 34 age and for women over age
65. Obesity rates were highest among people with less than a high school
education.
- In an effort to reduce fat intake, residents have reduced their
consumption of red meat, the study found.
- On average, only 20 per cent of residents' iron intake came from meat,
poultry and fish, a major drop from the 1972 national survey where average
iron intake from these sources was about 35 per cent.
The result is that consumption of heme iron, the type of iron most readily absorbed by the body, has dropped. Heme iron is found only in red meat, fish and poultry. "If we don't get much iron in a useable form, then we have low energy and we don't want to exercise," Stephen said.
On the whole, Saskatchewan residents are making healthy food choices and are consuming a diet very similar in nutrient content to that of residents in Quebec and Nova Scotia where similar studies were conducted in 1990 and 1989 respectively.
Each interview subject was asked to provide 24-hour recall of food items and quantities consumed. There was also a demographics questionnaire. Body and weight measurements were taken to determine body mass index.
Interviews were conducted by undergraduate students in the U of S bachelor of science in nutrition program.
The study cost less than $400,000. Funding was provided by Health Canada's National Health Research and Development Program, the Saskatchewan Health Research Board (now Health Services Utilization and Research Commission), and the Dairy Bureau of Canada (now Dairy Farmers of Canada).
