The Briercrest College in Caronport went through an entire eight-month school year of in-person classes with no COVID-19 transmissions or outbreaks.
Just one case in September and January were reported as students returned from summer and winter breaks.
College Dean Dr. Don Taylor says almost 500 students between the college and high school were able to take part in the classes.
“We were following all of our protocols and the guidelines from the province, and of course as they shifted,” Dr. Taylor said. “We had a very cooperative student body that really helped out in following guidelines, and we also our staff and faculty very much personally sacrifice to make sure they were following the guidelines extra close and even beyond them.”
But Martens said he still manages to find time to dedicate to the comic book and trading card series. “The idea for Prehistoria: Age of Dinosaurs came from my deep love of the movie Jurassic Park,” he told Yorkton This Week. “I had been spending a lot of time dwelling in the different ideas that I had created for other comic books and games. I started to become incredibly depressed, and took a break to watch my favorite movies. It was like the mist in my mind had lifted and the idea became solid. It wasn’t the first idea I had for a comic book series, but it was the first one that really felt right for me in this time.”
