Thin Pink Lines
$19.95MURIEL A. JARVIS has seen many changes in Saskatchewan since her birth on the Prairies in 1920: the Saskatoon City Hospital is now a gleaming structure of steel and glass with ten floors and a central transparent elevator, a transformation from the brick structure where she trained and worked as a young nurse in the 1940s. Health care too has changed a great deal since then; nursing has been transformed, and the status of women revolutionized.
The inspiring story of a girl from Kenaston, Saskatchewan, who had a dream...And her dream changed a province.

Saskatchewan Dirt: A Pandemic Quest for Connection
$24.95Saskatchewan Dirt is a well researched genealogical and geographical pursuit of the early connections between settlers and Indigenous people in southeast Saskatchewan. In her research, Bev Lundahl uncovers several surprising connections in both the past and the present, sparking a road trip undertaken in the spring of 2020 with Georgina Cyr—the Métis chairperson of Intercultural Grandmothers Uniting (IGU). Sharing these discoveries with the other members of IGU leads to compelling memories from several Residential School survivors. The search unfolds in real-time during the pandemic, marked by climate and human health emergencies along the way, including the announcement of the identification of unmarked graves at Residential School sites across the prairies. Saskatchewan Dirt is a true story of connection—and the building of reconciliation.
