2024-11-07 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Regina) | The Artesian, 2627 13th Avenue, Regina, Sas, S4T 1N2, Canada
We are honoured to be hosting a lecture on Thursday, November 7, at 7:00 PM at The Artesian to commemorate the service of Saskatchewan’s military veterans.
Speakers:

Mark Coté is an information junkie, scientist and instructor at the Department of Geography & Environmental Studies at the University of Regina. He is passionate about both family and aviation history — especially that concerning RAF Bomber Command and his father’s RCAF service in WWII. He is the author of That Lucky Old Son: Re-discovering my father through his World War II Bomber Command and POW experiences. Mark will share the story of his father Leonard, who enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War, ultimately serving in the 158 Squadron of the Royal Air Force. He was gunned down over Holland, and spent the remainder of the war as a prisoner before returning to Saskatchewan.

James (Jim) Pratt is originally from the Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation. He served 2 years with the RCMP in the 1970s as a band constable, before joining the Regina Police Service (RPS). He retired from the RPS in 2008 as a corporal of 27 years. He also served for 19 years as a reserve field military officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. Now an instructor in the Justice Studies program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, James works alongside Treaty 4 elders as a traditional helper. He will be speaking about his service as well as that of his father’s, William Pratt, who served in the Second World War. James continues to share his traditional knowledge both in and out of the policing world, serves on several community boards, and advises the policing community when asked to do so.
James is married with 2 sons and a daughter, 9 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren with whom he spends lots of time. He enjoys hunting, fishing, and sharing his traditional knowledge with young people.

All are welcome! This event is free to the public, though a $10 donation is suggested to support Heritage Regina’s educational programming. We will also be collecting donations for the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Fund.
Thank you to the Royal Canadian Legion – Saskatchewan Command for sponsoring this event.

Mark Coté will have copies of That Lucky Old Son available for purchase after the lecture (cash only).

“Exploring Library and Archives Canada Online” & SGS AGM
2025-04-26 10:00 - 12:00 | Online
Join the Saskatchewan Genealogy Society for a virtual information session about genealogical research, followed by their Annual General Meeting.
Over the past few years the website for Library and Archives Canada has undergone a number of changes. For some long-time users of the old site, this has caused moments of frustration. In this talk Ken will take a look at the new site, touch upon using the new census search system, and explore other resources they have made available to us.
Embarking on a genealogical adventure over two decades ago, Ken McKinlay’s quest began with a mission to confirm or debunk three family stories. Despite uncovering the truths behind those initial tales, Ken’s passion for delving into his family’s past remains steadfast, fueled by a constant stream of new questions. As a sought-after speaker by branches of Ontario Ancestors, the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa, and other genealogy societies across Canada, Ken McKinlay shares his expertise through engaging talks and workshops. His topics have included researching those who have fought for Canada in the world wars, exploring the Canadian censuses, delving into the mysteries of Ontario Land Records, and an eight-part series covering “Back to Basics” research for the British Isles. His presentations also focus on genealogical methodologies and overcoming genealogy brick walls. Beyond public speaking, Ken shares his insights on his blog, Family Tree Knots (https://familytreeknots.blogspot.com/), providing a valuable resource for fellow enthusiasts.
Following Ken’s presentation and questions and answers there will be a short break before the Annual General Meeting gets underway. There are no major motions for changes to the Constitution or Bylaws on the agenda at this time.

—
This series of images celebrates the legacy of Chinese immigrants as important contributors to the unification of what we now know as Canada. The United States and Canada share a border that seems to stretch naturally across the continent. Politically speaking, however, securing the Canadian border by no means happened naturally. The government had to act fast, and great sacrifices were made. At a crucial juncture, when British Columbia could have been seized by its American neighbour, the Canadian government needed significant manpower to solidify its confederacy – and thousands of Chinese came to Canada to help make this happen.
This series pays homage to early Chinese immigrants by offering a glimpse of their sacrifices and contributions, both of which have predominantly been excluded from Canada’s educational and community spaces.
