Friday Fun Link – Moose Jaw Engages In A Battle of the “Meese”

In a province where we take pride in our large roadside attractions, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan has long prided itself on having the world’s largest moose.

Saturday Snap – A Nice Note From #yqr @sarcanrecycling

Had a fun moment at Sarcan today. Earlier this week, we finally got around to trying their “Drop & Go” option where you can just leave your cans and bottles with some kiosk-generated tags then, a few days later, you later get a call that a cheque is ready. This is way easier than waiting in […]

Throwback Thursday – A Different Kind of Church (April 2007)

In my first librarian job, my boss and I had the opportunity to oversee the move of a crowded small town library into a soon-to-be-vacated nearby church. This photo was during our first visit to the church to see if it would be a workable space once all the pews and other church holdings were […]
