Ms. Kurup鈥檚 Law 30 class visited the Saskatchewan courts and the Legislative Building last week. The students witnessed trials and learnt about the judicial system in Canada. They also learnt about the roles of people in a court house. It was also interesting to learn the history of the Legislative buildings听and Sir Walter Scott鈥檚 vision for Saskatchewan. The walls of the building came from Italy. The floor came from Vermont and the green pillars came from Cyprus. The library had newspapers from all the towns of Saskatchewan. Students were glad to see the Observer on the shelf. Here is an opportunity for a treasure hunt. In 2012 Terri Fidelak, artist in residence at the Legislative building, polished 100 blocks of Tyndall stone and personally hid them all over the province. The idea is that the lucky few who find the stones will have received a gift to the future: Fidelak's representation of Saskatchewan's dreams for the future. The engraved message will also invite people to return the stone to the Legislature - a process which will likely take decades to fully complete. The students听scanned through 45+ stones that were already returned and found that the stone from Carlyle is not returned yet. Hint: look in provincial parks, small town communities, and places with historical meaning.

Please wear an orange shirt on September 30. Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) residential school commemoration event held in Williams Lake, BC, Canada, in the spring of 2013.听 It grew out of听Phyllis听Webstad's story of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the Mission, and it has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential schools happening annually. The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools.
Picture Day is October 3.
