Over the weekend I saw a lot people excited about Sunday’s big football game. I didn’t realize I had as many Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers fans as I did until I scrolled through Facebook. What makes us become a fan of a sports team? I don’t think I’ve hidden the fact that […]
Saskatchewan people are known across the country as great volunteers. We love to dig in and help others when we can to ensure someone (or something) is successful! Sometimes it’s as simple as volunteering to help push someone out of the snow. It’s the Canadian thing to do! Yesterday along Victoria Avenue in Regina I […]
For those of you who don’t know, I’m a huge John Candy fan and I’ll never forget the day he passed away back on March 4th, 1994. I got off the school bus and my Mom told me “Uncle Buck” had passed away. At the time I didn’t really know who John Candy was, but […]
As the number of craft breweries in Saskatchewan begin to expand and interest in craft beers continues to rise, so does the need for hops. One Saskatchewan family near Moosomin, 224 kilometres east of Regina, has been helping provincial brewers get the hops they need to continue to make their product for thirsty customers. JGL […]
There has been a lot of talk lately about the shopping landscape and how it’s drastically changing, especially here in Regina. At one time there were so many stores to visit in the city, and the malls were always busy with shoppers. Nowadays it’s a little bit different thanks to the world of online shopping, […]
Give yourself a pat on the back because if you’re reading this than you’ve survived “Polar Vortex 2020!” We only have two more days of very cold weather before we get a break starting on Monday, and you can almost hear the collective sigh from people across Saskatchewan. Every night this week was a soup […]
We’ve all had a teacher (or teachers) who have left a lasting positive impact in our lives and in our community. One such former principal from Kipling, about 153 kilometers southeast of Regina, is about to be remembered in the most fitting way for his contributions and commitment to sports and education in that community. […]
It’s another cold day across Saskatchewan with temperatures plummeting to -32 overnight with a -44 windchill. As the day progresses today we’ll warm up to about -26, which keeps the bugs away I guess. It begs the question, how did our early Saskatchewan pioneers do it in this weather? The record low on this day […]
“Cold enough for you?” is a question that you’re going to hear at least once a day all this week. Yes, it is cold enough for me. Nobody ever says “no! It’s not cold enough yet. I like -41 and living amongst penguins.” Saturday I came to the realization that I much prefer more snow […]
January can be a month of mixed reviews. Some like this month, others aren’t so fond of it. It’s easy to get down and out in January but I don’t think it’s all that bad because it gives a person a chance to wipe the slate clean from the previous year and build up for […]
