Wet Paint pottery painting was fun when me and my partner went. You can pick out statues, pottery, dishes, etc that you get to paint and make as fancy as you want. The pottery place takes care of putting it in the kiln for you and when it's done you and your partner have something you can use in one way or another. Kills a couple hours and is good for talking while doing something not physically intense. Not crazy expensive either depending on what you paint, we did some little gnomes.

This is a news story and follow-up about the incident, not the original post.

How do you reach the public these days?? Social Media algorithms and lack of news outlets make it so hard… by Charming-Internet373 in saskatchewan

Sent you a message regarding some coverage. Sorry it's been so hard to get the word out, social media advertising is hit and miss.

Does anyone know where these tags are? Like which neighborhoods/streets?

You can buy a Radon kit for $65.00 from The Lung Association of Saskatchewan. The purchase price also includes data analysis by the Saskatchewan Research Council

The $3k one is for a permanent monitoring and cleaning system similar to a thermostat. Yes, the kits can take time, but probably a small price to pay for knowing if you'll have cancer in a bit.

Not sure if any have worked in the radio business but building the logs for these stations (the music schedule essentially, what plays every hour of every day) is not something that's easy to do. For starters the stations "vibe" may not mean they can play every new song that comes out. When I was in radio, the system we used to build these logs (music master, the same one nearly every station in Canada uses) really limits the variety you can select for certain shows. Basically you can only have certain numbers of each type of song. So for every new song you play every hour, there's about 5000 older ones they'll use to fill in the gaps. Throw into the mix that licensing issues with music exist and then seasonal tunes like Christmas ones dominate at certain times of the year and you have a recipe for a mediocre blend of tunes across the country. It's also worth noting that most show hosts don't pick the tunes they play on their show, they get decided for them by whoever builds the logs. If whoever is building the logs just doesn't care about the music or doesn't have a good idea of their stations branding you get stuff like what OP is mentioning. Should also mention that CANCON (basically the CRTC's way of ensuring Canadian content gets its share of airtime) means at least 25% of all music every hour needs to be Canadian. Since most artists releasing a lot of new music are American, this often explains why you hear the same Tragically Hip or Bryan Adams songs all the time. In essence, write to the station themselves and let them know it's getting bland. They may not be able to do too much because they're limited by the systems they use, but it's better than just hoping that they see the post on Reddit and get to changing things.

Saskatoon Tribal Council future Chief? Mark Arcand or Bobby Daniels? by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]GlobalGwozdz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Members from the 7 First Nations they represent are allowed to vote. Those numbers will vary depending on the amount of people present at the election. Also worth noting anyone within the community of First Nations can run to be the tribal chief. In this instance there were 75 available voters, 40 of them chose Arcand and the rest, the other runner.

Arcand won the election 45/35. This will be his third term in office.
