OK Spring, we are impatiently waiting on you. We had those few days of a test run and we all enjoyed you, so please come back. I know I have been reminded it is better for the snow to leave us slowly, but I do not think it is necessary […]
My list of inspiring writers who happen to be Indigenous is a long one – Thomas King with his entertaining wit, Tanya Talaga and her insightful wisdom, Richard Wagamese for inspiration and calm, Harold R Johnson and his important stories. I would struggle to pick a favourite. On that list […]
As much as I have a soft spot for Canada’s 1986 World Cup soccer team, it’s worth noting that its comparison to the Canadian team that will go to Qatar this year, pandemic and wartime permitting, is really not much of a comparison at all. The ’86 World Cup team […]
Living on the north end of Lake of the Woods, we have some of the best ice fishing opportunities in the World. I consider myself spoiled when you consider we can catch walleye, pike, perch, crappie, lake trout, burbot and whitefish all in the same day. It’s a great place […]

The parade of ice fishing shacks made their way off the river last week in a solemn procession. They were in various stages of deconstruction dependent on how badly they were frozen in prior to the trek. But this is not the end of the ice fishing season. With some […]
April is overflowing with activities, a sure sign that Covid restrictions have been lifted. Organizers, volunteers and participants are ready to have a “post-Covid life.” The Guthrie United Church will host its Spring Fling Tea and Bake Sale April 2 at the Devlin Hall.
