Our Grade 9 – 12 group, along with Chaplin participated
in P.A.R.T.Y. This activity occured on Friday, April 20th
at school and in Moose Jaw. P.A.R.T.Y. stands for
Preventing Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth.
The idea behind the program is to promote injury
prevention through reality education, enabling
youth to recognize risk and make informed choices
about activities and behaviours.
|
 |
|
This program is supported by our outside agencies
which include Moose Jaw EMS, Five Hills Health Region,
Moose Jaw Union Hospital, and our local First Responders

Provenance of the Harris Jones
Ducks in a Prairie Sunset Painting
By Barbara K Latham (née Wigmore) of Moose Jaw Saskatchewan (July 27th 1943- ) and of Victoria BC
Judge Harold Pope (1899-1983) and Muriel Pope of Moose Jaw (http://sain.scaa.sk.ca/collections/index.php/harold-pope-fonds;rad) gave this painting to Dennis and I on December 1966 . It is a standard canvas size, probably about 18” x 24”. It was painted by Harris ‘Casey’ Jones of Mortlach whose major contribution to Saskatchewan was his unique and extensive arrowhead collection. Casey never gave the painting a name . . . .The Judge was a friend of Casey’s . . .
. . June 2011, Den and I visited Buffalo Lake where we learned that Jocelyn’s new teaching job was in Mortlach; it was easy to see that the fitting place for the duck painting to be was with her. She was happy about her job and content to be going to a small town which she described as “happening” and delighted to take the painting there ….
