REMEMBERING SASKATOON PHILANTHROPIST IRENE DUBE
All of us that knew Irene Dubé were saddened to hear of her passing.
Irene was a remarkable community supporter, an incredible philanthropist, and someone whose generosity touched countless lives. Her unwavering commitment to helping others made a profound difference in Saskatoon and left a lasting impact on our community. She and her late husband were known for their massive monetary donations to the city’s hospitals, educational institutions and several Saskatchewan charities over the years. Irene spoke out about the importance of mental health care, knit hundreds of afghans and blankets by hand, and prayed over each of them for patients and strangers she’d never meet.
Together with her late husband, Les, Irene’s remarkable philanthropic contributions helped transform health care across our province supporting advancements in children’s health, health sciences education, mental health care and patient care.
Irene's kindness, compassion, and dedication to making the world a better place will not be forgotten. The legacy she leaves behind will continue to inspire and benefit generations to come.
Heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy will live on in the many lives she touched.
A funeral mass for Irene will be held on Fri, June 19 at St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Co-Cathedral at 2 p.m.

SOME OF THE EVENTS THIS PAST WEEK
WORKZONE SAFETY AWARENESS EVENT
As Minister of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety I, along with the Honourable Kim Gartner, Minister of Highways, had the opportunity to joined partners from the Ministry of Highways, Workers’ Compensation Board, City of Regina, Regina Police Service and SGI to highlight the importance of work zone safety as construction season gets underway across Saskatchewan.
Every day, flaggers, engineers, labourers, supervisors and many others work to maintain and improve our roads and highways. Their safety depends on all of us.
Whether you're travelling in the city or on Saskatchewan’s highways, slow down, stay alert and follow work zone signs. A few extra moments of caution can help ensure everyone gets home safely.
Work zone safety saves live.
FAMILY FUN DAY IN BRIGHTON!
Over the past number of years, I have had the privilege of serving constituents of Saskatoon Willowgrove.
As I make my way through this great community, I see the growth and passion of the people I serve. It was a great evening in one of the fastest growing communities, Brighton! June 10th we had a great time at Family Fun in the Park!
It was fantastic to meet so many constituents and have the opportunity to hear their thoughts, ideas, and concerns and talk about the new schools coming to Brighton.
A special thank you to everyone who came out and took part, and to all the volunteers whose hard work and support helped make the event such a success. Your engagement and commitment to our community are greatly appreciated.
