If there’s one thing Jeffery Straker has learned from years of performing Christmas concerts across Saskatchewan, it’s that people will want to buy your Christmas CD to take home. The only problem was he didn’t have one.

This was a very fun interview with Jim Norris for his new podcast show! Jim is a stand-up guy; we used to sit on the board of a charity together, and he is a marketing genius! We spoke about my early music years, as well as forming Sultans of String and touched on my new Family Music album Little

Some trees can help mitigate the impact of wildfires. 🌳 But what are 'fire-resilient' trees? Can you plant them in your own backyard? 🤔

To find out, we spoke to Duff Warnock from the Secwepemcúl'ecw Restoration and Stewardship Society and Spencer Neufeld from WWF-Canada: https://bit.ly/49TeA7b

Inclusion isn’t just a goal. It’s a responsibility.

On this #IDPD, we highlight the strength of refugees and displaced people living with disabilities who continue to push forward despite immense barriers.

We’re excited about Sunday’s concert with Orchestra Toronto! The magic of orchestral collaborations is using the strengths of both cultures; the improvisation of our band members and the technical prowess of the symphony, being able to read anything you put in

DAY 2 of CAPACOA! A highlight on Mon. was a brilliant Keynote Address from Carol Off, who spoke about how the arts bring light into dark times and the importance of telling our stories to share our experiences in the human condition and find our common humanity.
