Regina Torch Relay Celebrations

Along with 37 other Saskatchewan communities, Regina is gearing up to welcome the Olympic torch as it makes its way through the province. Torch Relay-related events begin at 1:00, Saturday, January 9 in Regina - find out more on Facebook.

Right in the Center of all the Action

We've got some cool pictures of the Saskatchewan Pavilion being constructed in downtown Vancouver (thanks, Angela!). The roof of the clear-span structure is in place, with a great big Saskatchewan Pavilion logo clearly visible across False Creek.

The dome part of our pavilion won't go up for a while yet, but in these pictures you can see that the Saskatchewan Pavilion is just steps away from the Hockey House Pavilion (which will be a HUGE attraction), and the giant cube-shaped Quebec pavilion. Ontario's will also be in the same area.

And they are all really close to BC Place Stadium and GM Place, both major hubs of activities during the games.

Gearing up for the Winter Games

Les from Tourism Saskatchewan here. I'll be blogging about Saskatchewan's activities leading up to and during the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. The second visit of the Torch Relay happens January 9-12; we'll be posting tons of images and stories on http://www.saskpavilion.ca as the torch makes its way through our Province.

We'll also keep you updated on the events, activities and FUN that will be going on at the Saskatchewan Pavilion. Located just off False Creek, the Saskatchewan Pavilion will show off Saskatchewan's tourism assets, business opportunities and quality of life. It's also going to be a great place to visit, socialize, and hear great Saskatchewan music.

Stay tuned - lots more to come...

Saskatchewan Driving Etiquette

To truly explore Saskatchewan, sometimes you have to get off the main roads and on to the secondary and grid roads. Here is some advice on greeting passing motorists.
