Student Project Highlights Cut Knife and its History

A local resident, Stephanie Gilchrist, completed an assignment which focused on Cut Knife and area. It takes a while to load because of music files, videos and lots of photos. The link is: http://www.stephgilchrist.com/historyck/
Great work, Stephanie! (She tells me her instructor liked it too! A+ Grade!)

Sask Tourism Conference

The weekend conference was great. Tourism people are so warm and friendly. I learned a whole bunch about marketing, good governance, the best of the best of tourism in the province at the awards gala event, and internet and media info.
Saskatchewan has so much to offer a tourist. Check out the Saskatchewan Tourism site to see what you can do in this great province. The link is http://www.sasktourism.com/

This and That

Our annual meeting was held this past Monday evening. Good planning made for a quick meeting. We were home early! Yay!

Research has begun on a new project for the museum. Just a hint - they were from the country of the leaning tower before immigrating here...

Author is off to Regina to the Sask Tourism conference this weekend. If only Regina wasn't sooooooo far away...

Sad News

While the author was away in the past month, a member of the museum board passed away suddenly.
The shock of Jack Rowswell's passing is still registering.
Jack was our museum's Vice President, an active member of our Maintenance Committee, and a friend. His support of my efforts, his subtle sense of humor, and his willingness to help when he could, made my museum experience even more enjoyable. I know the rest of the Board will second this.
Thanks, Jack.
Our condolences to Amy and the rest of his family.
