"I was delighted to meet these researchers and find out how their work is helping to improve the health of people in Saskatchewan and across Canada," said Yelich in a media release.

Among those meeting with the minister were Andrew Potter, CEO and director of VIDO-InterVac, Colleen Dell, U of S Research Chair in Substance Abuse, and Margaret Crossley, a member of a team working with community health providers to develop culturally appropriate assessment tools for use in the university's Rural and Remote Memory Clinic.
