Tenille Bryanton was able to pick out new shingles for her home as part of a project for Regina Trades and Skills.
But she died on April 11 after a months-long battle with cancer, weeks before she was able to see the roof repaired on what was supposed to be her forever home. She was 30.
“We were really hopeful that we might have treatments that would beat back her tumours and allow her a lot more time with us but her cancer was just super-aggressive so now we’re just continuing to support each other,” said Terri Strunk, Tenille’s mother.

Care homes around the province have been some of the hardest hit places from COVID-19.
For students preparing to finish their training to become personal support workers and get jobs in care homes around the province, training has looked a lot different compared to students who would have taken the same program in past years.
Despite the drastic changes, the students we spoke with feel more than ready for what today’s work environment might look like.
