One year to the day since the murder of George Floyd, how have race relations and the treatment of people of color improved in the suburbs? That question evokes a variety of emotions and reactions depending on who is asked, their background and experiences, and how their lives have been affected by the global racial reckoning in the aftermath of Floyd s death.

The Prince Albert Historical Museum has revived an old campaign to help future generations understand the COVID-19 outbreak.
Last year, the museum put out a call for submissions from students, encouraging them to submit their views on what’s it’s like to like through a pandemic. Museum educator Joanna Wreakes said they received few responses, likely because the province was still early in its response.
With more than a year passed since Saskatchewan’s first recorded case, the museum has renewed their call for submissions, and expanded the field to include anyone in the community.
