Over the past year, Saskatchewanderer Caitlin Taylor has wandered where no wanderer has gone before.
She snowboarded at Mission Ridge, Mark McMorris’s hometown hill; camped on the world’s most northerly sand dunes in Athabasca Sand Dunes Provincial Park; and interviewed dozens of people including Life of Pi author (and Saskatoon resident) Yann Martel and NHL player (and farmer) Keith Aulie.
With the successful year quickly coming to a close, the Ministries of Parks, Culture and Sport, Agriculture, Economy and Tourism Saskatchewan are partnering once again to offer the program in 2015.
“This has been one of the best years of my life,” Taylor said. “It’s such an innovative, worthy program, and I can’t wait to watch the 2015 Saskatchewanderer get in there and showcase the best that Saskatchewan has to offer.”
“The success of the 2014 Saskatchewanderer project speaks for itself,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “We’ve watched the Saskatchewanderer’s following continue to grow through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.”
Interested candidates can apply at www.saskatchewanderer.ca. Applications open Friday, Oct. 31 and close Monday, Dec. 1.
