	January 31, 2008. Weathering the Warming Climate Elaine Wheaton, Senior Research Scientist and Climatologist with the Saskatchewan Research Council. Wheaton’s talk emphasized the effect of climate change on sensitive sectors such as water, agriculture, forestry and health. She focused on adaptation as a response to climate change, since some climate change is now unavoidable and adaptation provides current opportunities. A Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, Wheaton serves on provincial and national committees dealing with climate change. She has international experience in Austria, China, Brazil, Costa Rica, Australia, Portugal and Chile. She worked with the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as a collaborating author, a Review Editor and a Reviewer of their various assessments. Her awards include the 2007 Wolbeer Award for contributions to water resources and the YWCA Science and Technology award. Elaine Wheaton is widely published, with about 200 publications in referred scientific journals, books, technical reports, and conference proceedings. She is the author of the 1998 award-winning book, “But It’s a Dry Cold! Weathering the Canadian Prairies.”
	January 25, 2007. Health Care and Canada's "Shared Destiny" Roy Romanow's lecture explored the idea that Canada's evolution as a progressive nation has been the result of Canadians believing and practicing a philosophy of "shared destiny" and will propose that the future progress of our nation and respect for our legacy and values can be measured by how we deal with our social programs like Medicare.
	January 26, 2006. From Many Peoples' Strength to the Common Bowl: Saskatchewan's Influence on the Nisga'a Treaty To honour Woodrow Lloyd and his respect for the public service, Thomas Molloy (QC, Chancellor of the University of Saskatchewan) spoke on his experiences as the Chief Federal Negotiator for the Nisga'a Treaty and the remarkable influence on and connections with this act of 'nation building' that the Province of Saskatchewan and her citizens have. He discussed the similarities in outlook, philosophy and character between these two constituencies that he has encountered. For Aboriginal people and for all Canadians, the Nisga'a Treaty demonstrates that the business of nation-building in Canada continues almost 305 years from the time it began when Europeans came to this continent. It also shows that Canada is a country capable of resolving these types of major issues through negotiation and that it is not necessary for people to resort to civil disobedience or violence to achieve recognition of their rights. Treaty making helps First Nations achieve their social, economic and politcial aspirations.
