If you’re in Saskatoon and you’re looking for a Father’s Day gift, might I humbly recommend popping down to Indigo and checking out Crown of Horns and Flight Nineteen?

My partner and I will be down there from 11-3 for a signing of our works. I’m sure dad will love them! And if not him, then perhaps you or someone else you love ☺️

Thousands of lines carved into Canada's boreal peatlands for oil and gas exploration could be speeding up climate change, suggests a new study from University of Waterloo researchers.

Known as "seismic lines," they have been carved through the forests of B.C., Saskatchewan and especially Alberta for accommodating oil and gas surveying equipment, and are also found in other oil-producing countries

Post Cards

Your post card was received yesterday
Stir, stop. was written on the back.
Nothing else followed but the post mark.
Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
I tapped the edge and wondered why?
On the front was an old picture of two people
portaging at Spring Lake.

Was the picture on the front suppose to be us?
Am I supposed to remember something?
I am many miles away from those days.
I no longer carry around that cumbersome canoe.
And the paddles we lost so many years ago,
we could never find.

Tomorrow, I’ll return that post card
a fresh stamp attached.
Let go, is all I will write.
Maybe you’ll forget our past?

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
From Rapid River, the HBC men in the Portage La Loche Brigades made their way west to Cedar Lake, on the #Saskatchewan River. They were on their way north to the Mackenzie's River district in 1843, and still had a long way to go. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Manitoba https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/rapid-river-cedar-lake/
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
The crossing of shallow and violent Lake #Winnipeg was sometimes a challenge for the York Boats of the HBC, as the lake could swallow them up with ease. Clerk Augustus Peers tells of his own adventures on the lake as his boats crossed to the mouth of the #Saskatchewan in 1843. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #Manitoba https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/crossing-lake-winnipeg/
THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1823, and in 1828, two groups of canoes leave Norway House to cross dangerous Lake #Winnipeg to the mouth of the #Saskatchewan River. Both of these expeditions travelled in canoes, not in York Boats, as they would have done in later years. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #MBHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/two-canoes-three/
