If you are interested in a mini-gardening-vacation, you might want to be part of the Saskatchewan Horticultural Association (SHA) gardening tour, July 14 – 16.

Going a little bit off on a tangent this week, it seemed appropriate to spend this week’s column on a great event three members of our highly informal Meeple Guild attended recently.

I spent the month of February with my daughter and sister on a mission trip in Romania.

In the world of sports, at least for most Canadian sports fans July 1 is a big one. We are just past the National Hockey League a few days, and July 1, will mark the day teams start actively signing free agents.

The news that the federal Liberal government has approved the Trans Mountain (TMX) pipeline isn’t just good news from the economic perspective.
