Riders rent reduction a 'contractual matter', no legal threat: Reynolds

The $1.33M rent reduction comes from what the club owed during seasons impacted by the pandemic.
Fourteen-year-old Mya Slobodian is giving back to the charity that housed her while she underwent radiation treatment in Saskatoon.
After being diagnosed with brain cancer last year, Slobodian spent nearly two months at the Ronald McDonald House.
Now back home in White City and cancer-free, the teen decided for her birthday to ask people to donate to the non-profit, instead of giving her presents. She raised about $3,200.
“I was just so moved by how nice everybody at the house was and how positive the experience was,” Slobodian replied when asked why she chose to do it.
“It was always something to look forward to, even when I had to do treatments I didn’t really enjoy.”
She’s hoping her contribution will keep Ronald McDonald House — a place she called “a home away from home” — open to families for years to come.
Last month, Slobodian’s story was shared at the Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association’s annual convention and charity auction, which raised another $113,000 for the Ronald McDonald House.
Raising money for charity is nothing new for the teen; she raised $2,000 in support of STARS Air Ambulance by selling lemonade with her sister three years ago.
Slobodian’s philantropy was honoured in the Saskatchewan Legislature on the last day of the fall session.
