With heavy hearts, we share that Dr. Dick Stein passed away in the afternoon of November 3, 2020 from COVID-19. SCITCS would like to send our deepest condolences to his family and friends. Dr. Stein was a co-founder of the Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute at the University of Alberta and has been a mentor to many in our group. He will be dearly missed. As noted in the attached photos, you can watch Dr. Stein's heartfelt dance routine with his wife, Sue, here: https://www.thevitalbeat.ca//couples-dance-performance-ca/ You can also donate to the Richard B Stein Neuroscience Graduate Student Fund online here: https://secure-ualberta.imodules.com/s/1/phase2/index.aspx

It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that Dr.Richard Stein has passed away. People with SCI who had the privilege to know him have lost a dear friend. He devoted his life as a researcher to making our lives more functional particularly with the application of Functional Electrical Stimulation. SCITCS supported his research in the eighties with the purchase of hand held stimulators, assisting 5 people with SCI to stand and take steps. It was a major breakthrough. Due to Dr. Stein we were a Centre of Excellence. Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family.

Dear All, I would like to address recent concerns regarding the AISH program. During my time as Minister, I have had the opportunity to speak directly with man...y AISH clients. I know and understand how important this program is for vulnerable Albertans. In fact, the AISH program continues to reliably support our clients and I can assure you, there have been no changes to program eligibility, benefits, or program funding. In terms of funding, it is important to remember that in the most recent Budget, AISH funding actually went up by 6.2% compared to the previous year forecast, and at $1.29 billion we currently have the highest budget for AISH in Albertas history. However, what is also true is that caseload and cost pressures do present a challenge for program sustainability. As of July 2020, the total AISH caseload was 69,785 clients, and the AISH caseload growth rate is roughly three times the growth rate of Albertas population. I have always been transparent in stating that all of our programs are continuously under review. We review every aspect of our ministry because we need to ensure that supports continue to be available to those who need them the most, now and into the future. My commitment to Albertans, on behalf of myself, my government colleagues and the Premier, is that any decisions made will be centered on providing compassionate support for the most vulnerable while protecting the long term viability of our vital programs. Kind regards, Rajan

Congratulations to Dr. Mushahwar! https://twitter.com/UA_SMARTNet/status/1303354494592274432

Exercise is essential after a spinal cord injury. Lack of physical activity leads to poor fitness, weight gain, diabetes and increased risk of heart disease. On average over 60% of individuals with a spinal cord injury are obese. https://twitter.com/spinalpedia/status/1293868704476934145

You never know what others are dealing with, be empathetic ... Meet Maegan, she is the head coach of the steadward bears athletics team. As a former athlete herself, Maegan knows how important it is for athletes to feel mentally and physically prepared for competition. Often in competition settings, athletes are faced with challenges that are unforeseen such as accessibility, adding further stress to their competition day. Maegan believes the Sagitta device has the opportunity to reduce anxiety for athletes as they can be better prepared and know what obstacles to expect and plan for. Components such as hotel access, bathroom accessibility and public transit all play crucial roles in athletes lives when travelling and competing. The Sagitta device can help athletes perform their best mentally and physically! #accessibility #clickandpush #steadwardbears #performance
