Cyber attacks have been called “a growing threat to the country’s economy, public infrastructure, power grids, utilities, and healthcare sector,” “a matter of national security’” and a “top concern for Canadians.” But experts say we need to do more to protect ourselves from cyber threats, including having more “boots on the ground’’ in the form of cyber security specialists.

The Regina skyline may not be as iconic as some cities, but it is distinctive in its own right—thanks to Hill Towers I and II that rise from the rolling prairie as you approach the city from any direction. That prairie, those buildings and the province’s love for football have come together this fall to celebrate the arrival of the 109th Grey Cup this week.

Both towers are showing their appreciation for the country’s biggest football game with two massive murals that cannot be missed. The artwork came together through the work of three companies—Harvard Developments, the Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club Inc., and long-time Regina sign maker, Sleek Signs.

Our Fall 2022 cover story takes a look at how these iconic towers got their Grey Cup makeover, and the growing, innovative prairie company that made it happen.

Before Sleek Signs was wrapped Regina’s iconic buildings, it was leading the way in large format digital printing from its start.

Saskatchewan is a remarkable place for many reasons. Perhaps one of its best is Wanuskewin Heritage Park. Home to Canada’s longest-running archeological dig, Wanuskewin offers the most complete history of Great Plains life ever revealed.

Its historical significance to the world is why the majority Indigenous-led organization wants to become the province's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, with many organizations backing the push - including Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC), Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA), Tourism Saskatchewan, Hospitality Saskatchewan, and the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce.
