  Friendship Force Board Meeting via Zoom

  Each month we will have a Board meeting to plan the events for our club.  We try to keep these meetings short so PLEASE REGISTER so we can send you an agenda before the meeting date. That will give you time to see what we are discussing and ready any questions or comments.

  Once you have registered you'll receive an auto email with the Zoom link. Please keep this email or the link somewhere so you can use it on the date of the meeting.

  If you have any questions, or want to add anything to the agenda, contact our President, Marty McKnew at martymcknew@comcast.net

  We hope to see you at the next meeting!

  Sacramento, California to Saskatoon, Canada

  June 17th – June 24th 2026

  
  

  We are gathering names of Ambassadors who might care to join us on our Journey to Saskatoon, Canada.  Please register here to be kept informed as plans develop.

  Saskatoon is a small city (about 300,000). Most of the Friendship Force members live close to each other. There will be plenty of options for activities, and also some down time for people to visit with their hosts and others.

  Activities generally include:  Wanuskewin  Heritage Park an indigenous site with artifacts dating back 5000 years. UNESCO World Heritage site designation is pending.

   A tour of the Remai Modern Art gallery and lunch at Hearth Restaurant 

  We have the city Archivist or someone from Meewasin Valley Authority do a guided walking tour of the river valley in the downtown area which includes the sight of the only ship wreck on the Canadian Prairies. See the Great White American Pelicans fishing on the river.                                                                             

  Depending on interest we tour the Synchrotron (The Canadian Light Source). We can also tour the University. It is quite a beautiful campus.  

  The Berry Barn hosts lunch and beautiful views of the river with gardens and walks.                                 

  The Western Development Museum presents the settler experience in Saskatchewan.

  We usually do a day trip to Duck Lake, the St. Laurent Grotto and Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine, cross the river on a ferry and go to Batoche National Historic Park, place of the Metis resistance. 

  Crossmount Cidery offers cider tasting and tours.  Learn how to grow apples when it gets to -40C in the winter.  There are also a number of distilleries and micro breweries. 

  Then there is Indigenous Peoples Day activities. I hope that might include a Pow Wow since it is a weekend.

  There are many conservation areas with walking trails and interpretative centres.  Beaver Creek Conservation area is one. Cranberry Flats is another.

  If you would like to learn more about this unique visit to Saskatoon contact the Ambassador Coordinator, Chris Smith at smithinsac@gmail.com or 1-916-712-6979. 

  We are researching pre and post trip options for those who are interested. 

  Don't forget to register that you are interested in this Journey.  It isn't a commitment, just a way to make sure you get notified of any updates.
