COME TO LIFE!<br />
TRaIlS OF 1885<br />
The Northwest Resistance took place on the<br />
prairies and parkland of western Canada in the spring<br />
of 1885. Its story is told in chapters everywhere from<br />
Winnipeg in Manitoba to Fort Saskatchewan in Alberta.<br />
Much of this real life drama played out right here<br />
in Saskatchewan, where Métis and First Nations each<br />
have their own stories of confrontations and battles<br />
with government forces as well as the subsequent<br />
fallout and its impact on Canadian history.<br />
These stories are told at locations ranging from<br />
major interpretive centres to remote meadows and<br />
hillsides where solitary historic markers recount an<br />
almost mystical past. Find out more about the sites<br />
which tell and preserve these stories by visiting:<br />

Fostering a Vision<br />
For Canada<br />
Summer 2013 will unveil “Touch the Sky: The Story<br />
of Avro Canada.” Today, the names Avro and Arrow<br />
have become virtually synonymous with each other.<br />
This exhibit encourages visitors to explore the debate<br />
and conflicting points of view over the cancellation of<br />
the arrow, and to focus on the lesser known history of<br />
Avro Canada.<br />
Alongside the replica rooms and permanent<br />
exhibit highlighting the Rt. Hon. John G. Diefenbaker’s<br />
legacy, visitors can explore a vibrant cultural institution<br />
celebrating citizenship, leadership, human rights and<br />
Canada’s role in the international community. The<br />
gallery is open Monday to Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to<br />
8 p.m., Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., weekends<br />
and holidays from noon- 5 p.m.<br />
The Community Campus Tour program offers<br />
the public an opportunity to explore the University<br />
of Saskatchewan campus. Free, guided walking<br />
tours depart at 1 p.m. every Wednesday and Sunday<br />
afternoon in June, July and August.<br />
