Similarly to last year, the University of Saskatchewan will have a strong presence at this year’s meeting of the Canadian Historical Association to be held next week, May 30th – June 1st, in Calgary.
I am presenting “Tales of a Park Not Yet Created: The Fish Creek Provincial Park Questionnaire, 1974.” For a full description of my paper and panel, hop on over to this summary written for the Network in Canadian History and Environment (NiCHE) by Jack Little. I’ve also created a nifty word cloud of my paper, highlighting the main topics of the paper. Hint: it is “near-urban parks.”
I have collected all of the panels, presentations and roundtables involving University of Saskatchewan folk below:
