The wasinka Centre is based at the University of Saskatchewan and will work with communities in both Saskatchewan and Manitoba. It said it will train the next generation of Indigenous scholars, practitioners and community members in HIV/HCV/STBBI research.
Dr. Alexandra King, who is from the Nipissing First Nation in Ontario, is the Cameco chair in Indigenous health and wellness and the lead researcher at waniska.

Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) and Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have partnered with a text-based service developer MEMOTEXT, to create a two-way wellness texting service called SaskWell.
SaskWell was developed to connect residents of Saskatchewan with information, supports and digital tools to support their mental health and wellbeing. The resources can be used to help with the challenges to mental health and wellness brought on by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“It really is a service built by Saskatchewan people and nurses for Saskatchewan people. We have gotten some really good feedback and people really like it. We just finished our first pilot 10 weeks and we have got two more 10 week cycles to go and one is just starting up this week, so it’s a perfect time to join and to be SaskWell,” project lead Dr. Tracie Risling explained.
