Felipe Gomez announced as new “Saskatchewanderer” By Josh Sigurdson
Tourism Saskatchewan has announced their new “Saskatchewanderer”.
Felipe Gomez, a musician and educator, is excited for his new role, even in the midst of a pandemic.
“I’m really excited, this is like a dream come true,” said Gomez. “I have been exploring in Saskatchewan before, I traveled Saskatchewan from south to north on a bicycle a couple of years ago, and that was amazing. This time, I want to explore and show other people what I’m discovering, so this is kind of like a dream gig.”
As the Saskatchewanderer, Gomez will safely travel the province, showcasing all the great things Saskatchewan has to offer.
