Cam, how the hell are you?” Those were the first words Steve Gibb would say when I called him. When he called me, I would say the same thing, replacing Cam with Steve, of course. But he started it.

Brits by the Bess
After a year off because of COVID, the Saskatchewan British Car Club held its almost annual show — Brits by the Bess — on July 18, with more than 80 vehicles on display. Among the vehicles parked in their Sunday finest on 21st Street were restored MGAs and Bs, Triumphs, and Jaguars, mainly from the1950s,...
YXE Beer Wars moving into Bessborough Gardens
One festival down and one to go for Rick and Dave Mah, unless they have something else up their sleeves. With the Foodtruck Wars now in the rearview mirror, the father-son combo has set their sights on YXE Beer Wars, a craft beer, wine and spirits festival scheduled for Aug. 27-28 at the Delta Bessborough...
His name is Bob, and hers isn’t Barbi
I find it awkward and embarrassing when I can’t remember someone’s name. I find it worse when I can’t introduce the person to other people because of this. I think I have mentioned this previously in a column, but it happened again recently. What do you do? I went searching the Internet for tips. You...
Foodtruck Wars a success
Maybe it was the opportunity to get back outside. Maybe it was a change of location. Maybe it was beautiful weather. Maybe it was the many food options. Likely, it was a combination of the four that brought people out in droves between July 22-24 for Foodtruck Wars. “It was an over-the-top event,” organizer Rick...

Single-sports betting keeps money above board
My friend and MP Kevin Waugh will forever and a day be known as the person who brought legal single-game sports betting to Canada. It is estimated that $14 billion is wagered on singlegame betting annually, with none of that money making it directly into Canadian coffers. It’s time to get that money into our...
Stories from my days of working in parks
Between the park and the river were tall weeds and thick brush. One morning, between 7:30 a.m. and 8 a.m., I was picking up litter where the park met the weeds and brush. Suddenly, a man popped up, between five and 10 metres from where I was standing. He was shirtless and his face was...
Wanuskewin
Wanuskewin Heritage Park sits above Opimihaw Creek and the South Saskatchewan River near Saskatoon — a window into a part of Canada’s history that remains largely undiscovered, and a link to our past unlike any other National Historic Site in Canada. Wanuskewin’s uniqueness is not just the fact that there exists evidence of ancient peoples,...
