Uniplex and Centennial Park<br />

Promoting Recreation<br />

for Over 30 Years!<br />

No shortage <strong>of</strong> opportunities exist with a trip to the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Humboldt</strong>’s Recreational hot spot!<br />

In addition to the winter venues, Elgar Peterson Arena & Curling<br />

Rink, this location provides a vast array <strong>of</strong> seasonal and year-round<br />

recreational opportunities. A large portion <strong>of</strong> Centennial Park is<br />

devoted to five Baseball Diamonds and the recently constructed<br />

Skateboard Park. In the middle <strong>of</strong> the grounds you will find the<br />

Uniplex, <strong>Humboldt</strong> Collegiate Institute and Carlton Trail College<br />

joint facility.<br />

Home to the Mohawks, HCI <strong>of</strong>fers a full range <strong>of</strong> high school sports<br />

with a strong history <strong>of</strong> well rounded athletes, many <strong>of</strong> whom<br />

have been recognized provincially and beyond. The facility’s new<br />

gymnasium is also currently used for the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Humboldt</strong>’s Drop-In<br />

Sports Program (basketball, volleyball, badminton).<br />

The Uniplex Aquatic Centre is one <strong>of</strong> the most popular locations<br />

during the hot summer months, as well as year round.<br />

CARLTON TRAIL TOASTMASTERS<br />

CLUB #4713/42<br />

Public Speaking<br />

Have No Fear!<br />

Though its member club, Toastmasters International helps men and women learn the arts <strong>of</strong> speaking,<br />

listening and thinking - vital skills that promote self-actualization, enhanced leadership potential, foster<br />

human understanding and contribute to the betterment <strong>of</strong> mankind.<br />

The Toastmaster’s educational program works! After attending just 2 o 3 meetings, new members have<br />

made noticeable improvements. The mission <strong>of</strong> a Toastmaster’s club is to provide a mutually supportive and<br />

positive learning environment in which every individual member has the opportunity to develop oral comm<br />

unication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.<br />

SERVICE<br />

The local club chartered over 25 years ago - in November <strong>of</strong> 1987. They currently meet at the Anglican<br />

Church Hall at 710– 9th Street, at 7:30pm on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays <strong>of</strong> each month<br />

For more information, please phone Francis at (306) 365-4796 or Jocelyn at (306) 682-3008<br />

We’re Big Brothers Big Sisters.<br />

We believe every child should have the opportunity to reach his or her full potential, both as<br />

individuals and citizens – that by doing so, they will not only do well, they will also do good.<br />

We believe that by changing the course <strong>of</strong> young lives we can in turn be changing the course <strong>of</strong><br />

a community’s future. That it could lead to a reduction in poverty and unemployment. Or to safer<br />

schools and neighbourhoods. Or to a renewed optimism for growth. That it could even lead to<br />

change on a broader, more far-reaching scale.<br />

We believe that opening a child’s eyes to what is – opens their mind to what could be.<br />

For nearly one hundred years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been making a positive difference in the<br />

lives <strong>of</strong> our nation’s youth by developing and implementing a wide range <strong>of</strong> mentoring programs.<br />

One-to-one and group programs, for both in school and outside <strong>of</strong> school.<br />

Serving as role models, our mentors teach by example the importance <strong>of</strong> giving and giving back, <strong>of</strong><br />

staying in school, and <strong>of</strong> having respect for family, peers and community. Each time we pair a child<br />

with a mentor or introduce a group <strong>of</strong> students to an in-school program, we start something<br />

incredible – a life-changing relationship built on friendship, trust and empowerment.<br />

Witnessing the transformation <strong>of</strong> a child into a confident, concerned and motivated young person is<br />

a remarkable thing. Ushering them into adulthood, seeing them grow into a successful, responsible<br />

member <strong>of</strong> their community and society at large is even more satisfying. Proudly, it’s something our<br />

staff, volunteers and donors help bring about every day, and we’re very grateful for their generosity<br />

and support.<br />

Whether it’s in the form <strong>of</strong> time or money there is no more important investment we as individuals<br />

can make than in helping our nation’s children realize – and share – their full potential.<br />

We’re Big Brothers Big Sisters, and we believe in the value and values <strong>of</strong> mentoring.<br />

<strong>Humboldt</strong> & District<br />

Museum & Gallery<br />

Temporary Exhibits <strong>2013</strong><br />

April 1 – 23 Artless Fabrications: Carol Schmold<br />

Seeing the fibre works as intimate extensions <strong>of</strong> the pages <strong>of</strong> her<br />

journal, Schmold’s works explore various fibre art techniques and<br />

approaches to image-making. The project began as a self-directed<br />

challenge, motivated by the desire to get back in touch with her artistic<br />

creativity, to explore new techniques in fibre art and discipline herself<br />

to work within an imposed deadline. The result is a visual journal <strong>of</strong><br />

her exploration into her creative process, reflecting a personal design<br />

aesthetic and sensibility to materials. This exhibit is sponsored by<br />

Conexus and the <strong>Humboldt</strong> Area Arts Council, and travels the province<br />

through the Organization <strong>of</strong> Saskatchewan Arts Councils.<br />

May – August “Hunter <strong>of</strong> the Prairie Sea”<br />

“Hunter <strong>of</strong> the Prairie Sea” is a travelling exhibit organized by the Royal<br />

Saskatchewan Museum. Featuring a 10-metre-long marine reptile called<br />

a tylosaur, this exhibit aims to educate visitors on the discovery <strong>of</strong> the<br />

tylosaur skeleton and reveal what the environment in Saskatchewan was over 70 million years ago.<br />

Educational tour packages are available for these exhibits – please call the museum to book your tour!<br />

Original <strong>Humboldt</strong><br />

The Original <strong>Humboldt</strong> site is a scenic 80 acres <strong>of</strong> land located 8 kilometers southwest <strong>of</strong> <strong>Humboldt</strong> where the<br />

original <strong>Humboldt</strong> Telegraph Station was built in 1878. The significance <strong>of</strong> the land is multifaceted, as it played an<br />

important role in the national story <strong>of</strong> communications, transportation, 1885 Resistance, First Nations relations and<br />

the settlement <strong>of</strong> Saskatchewan. Original <strong>Humboldt</strong> is located 8km west on HWY #5 and 3km south on Telegraph<br />

Road.<br />

Join us to make history on June 12th at 1:30 pm at the Original <strong>Humboldt</strong> Site<br />

We’ll be unveiling new art installations that replicate historic features <strong>of</strong> the Original <strong>Humboldt</strong> Site. Watch for<br />

further details about this exciting event!<br />

Do you “dig” history – Public Archaeology<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> dig season promises to be another exciting adventure. If you are interested in volunteering at the Original<br />

<strong>Humboldt</strong> site during the <strong>2013</strong> dig season, please give us a call. You can volunteer in a variety <strong>of</strong> ways, helping to<br />

excavate, surveying and much, much more! No experience is necessary.<br />

There are numerous public programs throughout the summer months – free scavenger hunt, children’s fun days,<br />
