One of the things that is so great about the community of Regina, and all of Saskatchewan, is the pride we have with respect to where we’re from and what we do. Saskatchewan people, from prairie farmers, highway workers, students, nurses, teachers, business men and women, and yes, even the politicians, always embody hard work, dedication, determination, and gratitude. When I think of Saskatchewan, I think of people prepared to do what it takes for what they want out of life.
One other trait we all seem to share is that we are very humble.
I am going to cast away humble for at least this blog post and during an upcoming Twitter campaign called #WeWishYouWereHere #Saskatchewan. This campaign, organized by @dezguy and @nkatchuk, is intended to be a community driven project and we need your help.

@annedreshfield I appreciate that you stopped by and thanks for re-welcoming me into the livefyre community. I have always liked livefyre comments and finally have a blog designed in such a way as to make the standard integration a “fit” design.
@Darren Sproat Good to hear, Darren! Let us know if you need anything.
dezguy and nkatchuk , I’m hoping the campaign tomorrow goes off like wildfire. I will be monitoring and sharing as much as I can and look forward to staying tuned to the conversation.
Great initiative.
