It stands true with this story about music festivals. You can almost fill up each weekend from mid-June tom id-august with music from every genre – whether it’s folk and jazz, to country and rock, and everything in between. most festivals are family-friendly, with children’s activities that include parades, special crafts, kite festivals and cultural experiences that will teach them about the wonderful people groups in Saskatchewan. While this list is by no means complete (I’ve left out some of the more well-known events like the craven Jamboree and the Sasktel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival in Saskatoon) it’s a great resource to get your fill of music that will keep your toes tapping and your heart singing! | By CHERyL KRETT une 17-21 JazzFest Regina: Now in its seventh urday) and a special Jazz Program on Sunday in hon- year, JazzFest Regina is four days of jazz concerts our of Father’s Day.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
