1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? After our son thought our new puppy had possibly eaten his ear buds, I did a middle of the night forensic examination of a fresh dog turd using a plastic fork! Turns out my son had found the ear bud in the pocket […]
1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Shea always had dogs growing up and my family had a “summer dog” on the farm – my uncle in Calgary would bring his dog for the summer then take it home for the winter. But this year, we finally broke down and […]
1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Went to a minor league baseball game in Weyburn during the summer and a big production outdoor NHL game in Regina in the fall. Enjoyed both equally! 2. Did anyone close to you give birth? Probably quite a few on Facebook but none […]
1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Thanks to my parents picking up the tab for the first week, we were able to extend our winter holiday to two weeks at an all-inclusive – something we’d never done before during the handful of week long all-inclusive vacations we’ve taken over […]

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? I joined the bargaining committee for CUPE Local 1594 at my library. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was a really interesting experience – getting insight into how both the union and management approach various issues in the workplace as well […]
1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Got my Covid vaccine (along with my good buddy, Premier Scott Moe, who happened to be in the drive-thru line behind me!) Picked my son up after a noon-hour bomb threat at his school (which was a false alarm luckily!) 2. Did anyone […]
1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? I had been on the board of Coteau Books, a well-established small Canadian literary press that had been in existence for almost 45 years, for nearly a decade myself. Unfortunately, the publisher had been seen a variety of issues compounding over the past […]
