In 1899, Saskatoon was little more than a few wooden houses and false-fronted shops. There were no bridges, no railways, not even an elevator rising above the rooftops. There was no reason to think Saskatoon would be more successful in the long run than any other prairie town.

Protecting the Prairies - Lorne Scott and the Politics of Conservation by Andrea Olive

$34.60 CAD

Category: Saskatchewan

Grasslands are among the richest, most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet, and they are   crucial in the fight against climate change. Unfortunately, since 1970 Canada has lost more than 40 percent of its grasslands, and less than 15 percent of Saskatchewan's grasslands exist today. What remains are fo Grasslands are among the richest, most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet, and they are   crucial in the fight against climate change. Unfortunately, since 1970 Canada has lost more than 40 percent of its grasslands, and less than 15 percent of Saskatchewan's grasslands exist today. What remains are found alongside highways and ditches. The province has some of the highest CO2 and methane emissions per capita and virtually no environmental regulations. How did we allow the grasslands to become one of the most endangered ecosystems on Earth? In some sense, the story of Saskatchewan fits rather neatly into the larger story of Western Canada, where politicians often care more about extraction and growing the economy while destroying the very things the economy depends on. But that isn't the whole story. Much like Canada's universal health care, Saskatchewan is also the birthplace of some of the first provincial and national conservation laws, and home to an unsung and unlikely champion for the environment: a farmer with a twelfth-grade education and a really old van... In Protecting the Prairies, Andrea Olive provides a history of wildlife and land conservation in Saskatchewan told through the life story of environmentalist, naturalist, farmer, and former Minister of Environment and Resource Management Lorne Scott. This is a book that challenges and inspires us to be stewards of the environment in our own backyards and communities, and above all, to never be complacent when it comes to protecting the natural world.  ...Show more

Overlooking Saskatchewan - Minding the Gap by Randal Rogers (Editor); Christine Ramsay (Editor)

$41.95 CAD

When Canadians think of Saskatchewan--if they think of it at all--they think flat and boring, a place to drive through or fly over, a gap between the bigger cities to the east and west.   Yet thanks to its damn-the-critics spirit, Saskatchewan is the birthplace of socialism, Medicare, and public fundi When Canadians think of Saskatchewan--if they think of it at all--they think flat and boring, a place to drive through or fly over, a gap between the bigger cities to the east and west.   Yet thanks to its damn-the-critics spirit, Saskatchewan is the birthplace of socialism, Medicare, and public funding for the arts--all essential to the national identity. It is impossible to imagine Canada without these things and equally as impossible to imagine another part of the country filling Saskatchewan's singular role in the development of the nation.   But within the country's narrative, Saskatchewan remains on the margins. In Overlooking Saskatchewan, twenty writers articulate the challenges and the power of this identity, while revealing how the citizens of Saskatchewan continue to lead the way in the creation of culture and innovation. ...Show more
