I have to admit that Taste of Saskatchewan is one of my most favorite events of the summer…well, of the entire year! I enjoyed it a total of 6 times this year. I moved back to Saskatoon several years ago and any time I have new clients who move to Saskatoon I always like to tell them about TOS. It is one of the best events and there are always great bands, great people watching, and great food put on of course by Conexus Credit Union, and as I work for Century 21 Conexus in Saskatoon, I figured I should make sure to support it as much as possible. There were 30 restaurants from Saskatoon that took part in the event. One of my new favorites, Cactus Joes, had incredibly tasty sweet potato fries. Taste of Saskatchewan gives everyone in Saskatoon the ability to sample at many of our tones of restaurants and is a great time for people who are new to our beautiful city to check out great places to eat and enjoy live entertainment, to sit with strangers and enjoy the food and hopefully some conversation with some of our friendly Saskatoonians.

For those of you who have had the opportunity to visit the Saskatchewan Jazz Festival in previous years will be happy to hear that the federal government has increased it’s funding to this incredible event from $38,000 to $80,000.  The Saskatchewan Jazz Festival is put on by SaskTel and is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing Jazz to the province of Saskatchewan.  The Jazz festival this year will be held in the city of Saskatoon from June 20-29 in various locations around our city.  I have attended this event in previous years and have to say it’s one of the most enjoyable weekends of the summer in Saskatoon.  The city is extremely busy with music in the air.  Whether you are a frequent jazz listener or just someone wanting something to do during the week the Saskatchewan Jazz festival is definitely an event you will want to attend.  For other events that are happening in our city be sure to check out my Saskatoon events page for up to date information on upcoming events.

Earth Hour is a global event organized by the World Wildlife Federation.  On March 29th at 8pm until 9pm millions of people around the world will do one very simple thing which will deliver a powerful and symbolic message about the need to address global warming.  Starting at 8pm on the 29th people around the world will turn off their lights in their home and businesses for 1 hour.  This includes things like televisions, computers, etc.  I think this is an amazing idea and it unites everyone in the world that believes that global warming is a real threat that needs to be addressed.  I encourage all Saskatoon home owners and everyone else in Saskatoon and the surrounding areas to take part in this event.  This is an amazing opportunity to contribute to the overall success of an important message.  Be sure to tell friends and family of this event.  Some people may think what can I possibly do for an hour without the lights on?  As for myself I plan on spending the night with a few friends and lighting a few candles and just enjoy some quality time with them.  Be sure to spread the word around about Earth Hour and do your part as a Saskatoon home owner and turn your lights off on March 29th from 8pm to 9pm.  Be sure to check out the video at You Tube!
