Farewell to our summer students
For some, the end of summer marks the end of vacation, and for others, returning to school. In the case of the Healthy Start/ Départ Santé team, it’s time to say goodbye to two of our summer students, Nam Nguyen and Karine Ntihinyuka. Coming to Saskatchewan with the program Young Canada Works, it is with a working knowledge of both official languages that the two young students will go back to their respective provinces, Nam to Manitoba and Karine to Québec. Indeed, their time at the Healthy Start/Départ Santé office has allowed them to experience different aspects of the project, like assembling the APE kits, collecting data, translating different texts, etc. Their contributions did not stop there, they organised activities for Réseau Santé en français de la Saskatchewan (the Healthy Start sponsoring organization) for the Fête fransaskoise (treasure hunt and bike ride). The team wishes them the best of luck on returning to their studies.
Changes with the Healthy Start/Départ Santé team
It is with sadness that the Healthy Start Team/Départ Santé said good bye to three of their employees this past week. Sarah Gaudet (Project Coordinator), who has been with Healthy Start since April 2013, Jeff Graham (Knowledge, Development and Exchange Coordinator) and Margot Gough (Evaluation Coordinator), who have both joined the team in early 2014. They have left to pursue new academic challenges and/or professions. These three individuals, through their work have contributed greatly to the Healthy Start Project with their enthusiasm, dedication and professionalism. The team wishes them the best of luck on their future endeavours.
