Prairies North Magazine Fall 1999 Retour à l'édition précédente

History and Nature: The Poet and the Pilot -- Saskatchewan named northern lakes, islands and rivers after fallen WWII soldiers. These geo-memorial sites have become a focal point for war remembrance; Landscapes: The Good, the Bad and the Muddy -- The Big Muddy Badlands is true frontier with the lingering sagas of Sitting Bull and famous outlaws. Today, the largely unchanged landscape brims with a new frontier voice; Culture: St. Cyr's Ode to the Elevator -- Grain elevators have been a part of the prairie skyline for more than 100 years. Photographer Bobby St. Cyr finds his own appreciation for the commonly photographed symbol of Saskatchewan; Flora: A Rose by Any Other Name -- Saskatchewan's best known wild fruit is becoming a favourite for commercial orchards, but with or without genetic refinement, the saskatoon berry still holds an old fashioned warmth; Wildlife and Preservation: Wings Across the World -- The Chaplin Lake area combines commercial industry and natural wealth to form a unique and internationally important shorebird sanctuary.
