The University of Sakatchewan is looking to define its public image and it needs your help.
Unfortunately, it looks like U of S students aren’t interested. Thousands of students got the invitation in their announcements on PAWS asking, “What should the University of Saskatchewan be known for?” However, only a handful of students showed up to the institutional positioning town hall on Sept. 18.

The festival started as a fundraiser for the various programs the IPP hosts. They held their first festival at Amigos Cantina with about 100 attendees. However, over the past six years the festival has become its own event; this year’s sixth annual festival on Sept. 10 and 11 will take place at TCU Place and about 2,000 people are expected.

Thanks to a trial recycling program in Saskatoon, this year it will be easier and cheaper than ever to get a hold of those great cheap finds.
The program, called New 2U, invites residents from certain neighbourhoods to put unwanted items on the curb on a certain day. Then residents from across the city are invited into the host neighbourhood to scan the streets for used treasures…

Back in elementary school, the dismissal bell was music to many kids’ ears. Everyone rushed home to get in a few hours of fun before dinner. Street hockey was often the sport of choice. Easy to set up and take down, kids would play for hours in the heat, rain or snow, long after dark, and usually under the glow of the streetlights.
