Exercised My #skpoli #ParentalRights Today…

…to encourage my daughter to become a kind, empathetic, supportive human being. (Too bad the parents of many of the current Sask Party MLAs didn’t share similar lessons with their kids before they became regressive, reactive bullies.)  

Saturday Snap – Rider Game

Got offered some last minute tickets to the Riders game tonight.  Free tickets and between parking, food, drinks, and souvenirs, I think I spent $300 LOL!

2022 SPL Report To Our Community

Always interesting to look at other library system’s annual reports at what’s similar, what’s different and also to spark ideas and inspiration.

Biggest Challenge: “We’re a small city with a relatively big stadium.”

Yes.  This is quite the challenge we face here in our little prairie city that’s run by people who want to pretend we’re a much bigger city like Calgary or Edmonton or Winnipeg so they push to build giant state-of-the art arenas.  And ball stadiums.  And the best football stadium in the country while showing […]
