Saturday Snap – One Year Check-up

Sasha enjoying her one year check-up with one of Saskatchewan’s best doctors…

The Coteauster

I missed a pretty clever April Fool’s joke yesterday – Coteau Books announces the “Coteauster” which will burn daily excerpts from one of their award winning books onto your morning slice of toast! Lots of comedy gold here… Enter the Coteauster. Wirelessly linking directly to your preferred eBook vendor’s online store, the Coteauster enables you to buy, […]

“Friends and Family in the News” Edition

Saskatchewan Naval Commander Helps Drug Bust Victoria Divita, only the fourth woman in history to command a Canadian Naval vessel, is from Indian Head. I grew up with Victoria (though I knew her as “Vickie”), she was in my sister’s grade, a couple years younger than me, and in fact, her older brother was best […]

Music Monday – “There’s a light/And I can see it in your eyes/There’s a memory of/The way you used to be”

Hard to believe but yesterday marks one year since the most recent NDP Leadership convention where Ryan Meili lost to the eventual winner, Cam Broten, by just 44 votes (less than 1% of all votes cast). As a cathartic process after the loss, I’d compiled a list of “44 Reasons We Lost” in my personal […]

Inside Mark McMorris’ Technique

Saskatchewan’s Mark McMorris brought home Canada’s first Olympic medal, a bronze in the slope style competition. This is pretty amazing considering he broke a rib only a couple weeks ago at the Winter X Games (not to mention that he’s a kid from the flat Canadian prairie of course!) 😉 McMorris grew up in Regina. The closest […]

Music Monday – “Never had much faith in love or miracles/Never want to put my heart on the line”

Good Luck in the Super Bowl @jonryan9 #yqr #sb48

Saskatchewan’s been buzzing for the last couple weeks after the Seattle Seahawks qualified to go the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos. Usually Saskatchewan football fans are focused on a team wearing a different shade of green and the NFL isn’t as popular as the Canadian Football League for most people. But this game has special […]

Saturday Snap – Sasha on SaskTel Max’s Video Magazine

SaskTel was out to Regent Place a couple weeks ago to shoot a storytime for their video magazine. This edition’s topic was “Snow” and they used footage of their host at one of our storytimes to introduce a few other segments shot in different locations such as the Saskatoon Zoo. The clips aren’t online yet […]

Restoring Classic Film Theatres in Saskatchewan: Rural and Urban Success Stories @officialrpl #sask #yqr #indianhead #wolseley

The Nite Hawk Theatre that I grew up with in my hometown of Indian Head, Saskatchewan was recently facing the threat of being closed and sold to developers after the long-time owners decided to retire rather than pay for the necessary upgrades to digital equipment. This would be a terrible loss as the theatre is […]
