February issue

For this first issue of 2010, we’re taking you all over the place. We visit Saskatoon’s proposed research reactor; then head to southwestern Saskatchewan to hear the story of the Lakota people; we investigate a low-income housing shortage in Moose Jaw; get as close to home as you can get with a look at the benefits of breast feeding; and zoom back out for a global perspective with an interview with Afghanistan’s Malalai Joya.

A new decade brings fresh perspectives and renewed intentions to keep independent media alive and thriving. You’re an important piece of the puzzle so get involved by sharing our stories with your friends, and your stories or opinions with us.

And join us on Twitter and Facebook to get the latest.
