Day 1 Students will learn how to read the landscape they live in. They will gain insight into how newcomers found their way around? What role did veteran citizens play in helping new residents adapt to their new community? From backyards to front yards, to city blocks, to neighbourhoods, garages and fences -- how we use these spaces influences how they develop.
Come on our authentic journeys of discovery, based on original archaeological research, and let yourself be entertained by the undiscovered aspects of life in railway towns such as Regina. Your guide and host is Claude-Jean Harel, "CBC's Guide to the Outdoors," an anthropologist and journalist, whose work has been acclaimed in New York and London.
Including an optional audio-visual overview of Plains settlement, trips are actual fields interpretations tailored for each host community. The themes addressed are perfectly suited to commemorate Saskatchewan's Centennial.
Claude-Jean turns excursions into lived reportage, where emotion and true-life adventure nourish the spirit.
