COVID-19 is definitely messing with all of us, even if we do not contract the disease. Social distancing, restricted travel, business closures, and so many other things have changed our lives. And then there’s the other, theoretically non-COVID side of health care. At the extreme risk of over-sharing, I’ve been trying to get a tummy...

Saskatoon city council’s position on some of its public facilities is nothing short of absurd. We “hire” city councillors through a civic election process to manage and maintain the city and plan its growth. We do not expect them to abdicate their responsibilities to boards comprised of appointed citizens, that are not of our choosing,...

We know there’s a...

In the best of times, we are a sedentary nation. Around 76 per cent of you don’t meet the minimum (that’s minimum) recommendations for aerobic and strength-building activities, which are at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity and moderate- to high-intensity muscle-strengthening activity at least two days a week. And now that...

Happy Autumn everyone! As I write this article, it is officially the first day of fall. I love fall on the prairies. The mornings are cooler, the leaves are changing and people are cleaning up their yards preparing for the inevitable first snow fall. Last time we were together, we talked about the seven profit...

I met Sylvia Fedoruk when I was a child. I was a rink rat at curling clubs in my pre-10 years of age years. She knew my parents, and I would be tagging along at the curling club. My memory isn’t spot on, but she would have acknowledged my tiny presence in some way. I...

The dream began in 2014 and the fundraising campaign followed in 2018. No one could have foreseen that Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan’s (SOTS) new amphitheatre on the riverbank would have opened “dark” in a 2020 pandemic. Two of the bard’s greatest plays, Macbeth and The Tempest, were scheduled for this summer — huge productions perfect...
