The College of Nursing celebrated its 70th Anniversary at Government House in Regina. The event was hosted by Lieutentent Governor Dr Gordon Barnhart and Mrs Barnhart.

The fourth year students studying with Dr Sandra Bassendowski in 417.3 attended the event as part of their learning. They were highly successful in using their voices to inform our government of student experiences and to share their knowledge and ideas about nursing education with our Premier, the Honourable Mr. Brad Wall, the Honourable. Mr. Rob Norris Minister of Advanced Education, Employment & Labour, who is responsible for post-secondary education and Honourable Mr. Don McMorris, Minister of Health who is responsible for the health care system of the province.

The Lieutentent Governor Dr Barnhart, has been a strong supporter of the College of Nursing for many years. Students were able to meet and talk with him about the College. It is one thing to learn about how policy development occurs and the relationships that must exist between government, academics, decision-makers in the health sector and researchers.

The students not only observed but made a significant contribution using their voices.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.

- John McCrae, 1915
