This time last year, Megan Crawley was sitting in a hospital room at the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton. The Saskatoon mother spent day after day at her daughter Emma’s bedside, hoping against hope that a life-saving organ donation would arrive in time to save the seven-month-old girl’s life.

When you think of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, you likely imagine the team on the field at Mosaic Stadium. The sharp snap of the ball, hard-hitting tackles, and the roar of 30,000 fans. The roster is made up entirely of men, and traditionally, the sidelines and locker rooms have reflected that. But behind every touchdown, every play call and every cheer from the stands, there’s an often-unseen force pushing the team forward: women.

It was not a term of shame, but one of identity, of belonging. “That’s who we are as a people. Our language is Michif. We have common culture. We have common language.

In other words, we have a common world view.” Flammand was raised in a world where Michif was the heartbeat of daily life.

In the heart of Saskatchewan, where the prairie stretches endlessly beneath a wide open sky, the community of Tokyo once stood. For Brousse Flammand, Tokyo was home. The story of this place is not just one of a town, but of the people who lived there: the Michif. “We were a mix of people. We refer to ourselves traditionally as Michif,” Flammand said in an interview with 650 CKOM.

Dena Akre is the kind of person who knows how to build a home. She’s meticulous in every detail, from selecting the right fixtures to handpicking furniture that complements the style of each room. She has an eye for creating spaces that feel both functional and beautiful. But here’s a catch — while she might sound like a skilled architect or interior designer, the homes she builds are a little smaller than the ones you’re used to.

MARCELIN, SASK. — If you found yourself stuck in the woods with very few resources, would you know what to do? For many, the thought of being stranded in the wilderness is enough to spark fear and panic. Without food, shelter, or the tools to navigate, the situation can feel overwhelming.

In the maternity ward of the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, the usual sounds of a busy hospital fill the air. Beeping monitors, quiet conversations between nurses and the rhythmic shuffle of footsteps on polished floors. The air is filled with the sterile scent of antiseptic and the faint hum of fluorescent lights overhead. But every so often, a subtle shift occurs.

Picture this: two brothers locked in an intense Mario Kart showdown, a fierce rivalry unfolding as they race through digital tracks. Or a sibling Nerf battle, the basement transformed into a battleground, as one sneaks around corners and the other dives for cover, both grinning from ear to ear.

She knows just how much work goes into perfecting the craft. “There’s a lot of training involved,” she explained. “I have about 10 to 12 hours (per week) in the studio, and then I try to practice for about an hour every single day outside the studio.”But it’s not all about the hours spent dancing. There’s a deep sense of community among Irish dancers. “I’m very close to my dance teachers, all my friends, and I’ve made so many friends through competing,” she shared.
