Knowledge Translation
The POR Alliance members conduct diverse patient-oriented research and translate knowledge in creative and effective ways! As a POR Alliance member, we’re excited to promote your knowledge translation products through various channels, including the PORTAL quarterly newsletter, the SCPOR website and SCPOR’s various social media channels. Take a look below at some of the stellar work being done right here in Saskatchewan!

“Tales of Hope: Therapy Dogs Changing Lives in Prison” PAWSitive Colouring Book
The coloring book is being released by our patient-oriented research group, led by the University of Saskatchewan and in collaboration with Correctional Service Canada. The story is based on the longstanding visitation of therapy dogs Ruby, E-Jay, Researcher, Reina, and Molly at the Regional Psychiatric Centre (RPC) in Saskatoon, SK. Patients at RPC chose the words to tell the story, based on their experiences, understanding, and research findings.
This work was financially supported by a Canadian Institutes of Health Research Patient-Oriented Research Training Grant – Health System Stream. It was secured by Waypoint Centre in Ontario in partnership with USask. Copies are available at this time to our RPC partners, and will be more broadly available as further funding is secured.
