Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada

Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada is Canada’s largest all-Canadian wish granting organization, with over 27,000 wishes granted since 1984. Our office in Saskatoon serves children across the province from 3 – 17 years of age with serious illness, granting their one most heartfelt wish. Currently there are 127 children planning their wishes in Saskatchewan, with 42 of those in Saskatoon. The average cost of a wish is $10,000. Wishes can be items, celebrity related or travel to a dream destination.

Recently, Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada and Make-A-Wish Canada have joined forces, with the goal of granting the wish of every eligible child across the country. Our mission is to provide children with life-threatening illnesses the opportunity to realize their most heartfelt wish, giving them the strength to endure their treatments and build resilience.

Together, we will grant over 2,600 wishes annually by year 5 of the combined organization. With up to 6,000 children in Canada facing a critical illness and complex medical needs each year, this is an important step toward our goal of ensuring every eligible wish is granted.

To find out how your organization can grant a local child’s wish contact Catherine Lunn directly at 306-477-8588 or catherine.lunn@ childrenswish.ca and follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @ChildrensWishSK.

Fedoruk Centre: Funding, facilities and expertise for a stronger Saskatchewan.

The Fedoruk Centre was established in 2011, on the campus of the University of Saskatchewan to place Saskatchewan among global leaders in nuclear research, development and training through investment in partnerships with academia and industry for maximum societal and economic benefit. The Fedoruk Centre works closely with the Saskatchewan universities to build multidisciplinary programs of research that will have positive impacts for the people of Saskatchewan.

We operate the Saskatchewan Centre for Cyclotron Sciences (SCCS) – a cluster of high-quality facilities and expertise maintained in a state of readiness for access by researchers from academia and industry to accelerate new technologies through nuclear imaging. Since 2016, our locally manufactured radiopharmaceutical (called FDG) has been delivered routinely to enable Positron Emitting Tomography (PET) imaging for cancer diagnosis in hospitals across three provinces Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Owned by the University of Saskatchewan and operated by the Fedoruk Centre the SCCS is an excellent resource for cutting-edge research in nuclear medicine to diagnose and cure diseases in humans and animals.

Other researchers are applying the same tools to advance the resilience of crops to disease and climate change or other biotechnologies.

We enjoy sharing with you the inspiration and wonder that goes along with the process of discovery and innovation. We welcome your thoughts, questions and feedback! The Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation Inc. (Fedoruk Centre)
