The foundation aims to help the wider software industry contribute to the tech sector s ambitions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% in 2030, in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. As we think about the future of the software industry, we believe we have a responsibility to help build a better future – a more sustainable future – both internally at our organisations and in partnership with industry leaders around the globe, said corporate vice president for developer relations, Jeff Sandquist. With data centres around the world accounting for 1% of global electricity demand, and projections to consume 3-8% in the next decade, it s imperative we address this as an industry.

The Rolla Choral Arts Society is holding a free concert in The Gardens between St. James Winery and Public House Brewing Company featuring the Rolla Community Choir, Rolla Choral Arts Society Jazz Choir, Trilogy and a host of additional instrumentalists.
The outdoor concert called “The Road Home” will feature a variety of music inspired by the pandemic to celebrate community and the human spirit to overcome adversity, according to Rolla Choral Arts Society s artistic and executive director, Jeff Sandquist.
The Rolla Choral Arts Society singers continued to sing somewhat together during the pandemic with the series of “sing-along” Zoom experiences in the fall and winter.
“I miss my hometown, my friends and family who live in Estevan,” said Sandquist. “This is my way to connect with home and say thank you to first responders and healthcare workers at St. Joseph’s Hospital.” Sandquist is making a $10,000 donation to the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation in support of their recent Festival of Trees and local healthcare in southeast Saskatchewan. “St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation and the hospital staff are incredibly grateful for Jeff’s contribution. This donation will go a long way in supporting our hospital this holiday season,” said Breanne Van De Woestyne, executive director at St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation.
