In late October 2025, SAC-Saskatchewan Provincial Advocacy Manager, Jennifer Cameron-Turley, spoke to Abby Zieverink, Morning News Reporter at CJME Radio in Regina. They discussed the current provincial shortage of speech-language pathologists and the effects of this shortage on clinicians and patients. The opening of the new Master’s of Speech-Language Pathology program at the University of Saskatchewan , which will receive its first cohort of 40 students in September 2026, offers hope that recruitment and retention of S-LPs will improve substantially in the future. The news story, released December 19, 2025, includes perspectives from three graduate students who recently had to leave Saskatchewan to pursue their S-LP studies out of province, highlighting why a provincial program is so necessary.

Thank you to CJME980 and Abby Zieverink for helping shed light on this incredibly important topic.
