Families in Martensville and the surrounding area are being invited to help shape the future of immunization services for young children.
The University of Saskatchewan, in partnership with the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF), is hosting a community engagement session focused on improving immunization services for children and families. The event is specifically geared toward families and caregivers of children aged 0–6 years in Saskatoon and the surrounding area.
The session will take place on Sunday, March 1, 2026, in Multipurpose Room B at the Martensville Recreation Centre (100 Main Street West). Participants are welcome to drop in anytime between 1:30pm and 4:30pm. Each group conversation will last approximately 60 to 90 minutes.
Organizers are looking to identify areas of strength within current immunization services, as well as opportunities for enhancement. Feedback gathered during the session will help determine initiatives aimed at better meeting the needs of families in the community.
Participants will receive an honorarium for their time and will also have the opportunity to enter a draw for a 5th Generation iPad.
Those with questions about the session can contact Dr. Charlene Thompson at 306-966-2906 or by email at charlene.thompson@usask.ca.
The study has been approved by the University of Saskatchewan Behavioural Research Ethics Board.
Families interested in sharing their experiences and ideas are encouraged to attend and help inform how immunization services can better support children and caregivers in the region.
