For this last issue, we’re heading to the places that matter. We stop at Lake Diefenbakerto investigate the water quality and question further commercial development; we visit North Central, Regina to see if anything has changed three years after Maclean’s dubbed it “Canada’s worst neighborhood”; we stop in a farmer’s field to talk about the rapid changes farmers are facing; and we peek into the classrooms to see how the provincial Treaty Education program is doing.

We would like to thank all our readers and supporters and we invite you to join us for the Sasquatch’s wake – help us send her back to the wild in style.

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.

This time The Sasquatch is full to the brim with too much of everything: too much red tape restricting our access to information; an overwhelming prairie cherry surplus; an oversupply of hogs; politicians who are obsessed with job creation; and too much carbon in the air.

So sit back, read and enjoy. Then pick up your pen or open your email and let us know what you think.

And don’t forget to join us in the social networking world — we’ve got Facebook and Twitter to help keep you up to date.

We discuss international economic policy with world-class economist, Jeff Rubin and walk you through a million-acre agriculture initiative on our own soil.

The Sasquatch has been busy roaming the towns and cities of this province. We went to the consultations on uranium development where a strong majority opposed nuclear expansion. We chatted with the John Howard Society about the politics of crime and went to a prison farm that’s slated to be closed. We talked with three students about the impact of neighbourhood school closures and visited a community in North Central Regina where youth are documenting their lives through photography. The Sasquatch is eager to engage you in a discussion. Join the debate: send an article to a friend, leave a comment, or write a letter to the editor. You can follow us on Twitter, join us on Facebook, or sign up for e-mail updates. We’ll keep you caught up on the important issues affecting you and your community.

Get ready for the second issue of The Sasquatch! Again, we’re covering issues that matter to you, like public-private partnerships (P3s), community responses to the nuclear energy debate and the sale of native grassland. There’s even information that you can use at home, found in our column on local food issues.

So get involved: subscribe, leave a comment or contact us with story ideas.

One thing is clear: the elusive sasquatch of public-interest journalism is on the loose, exposing injustices and bringing you healthy alternatives.

Faced with the global recession, the rising cost of living and a provincial government that has demonstrated little respect for democratic processes, we’re in need of a space where Saskatchewan residents can share their experiences, engage in a public conversation about the issues facing all of us, and find common ground in order to build broad-based alternatives. The first issue of The Sasquatch is an attempt to initiate this discussion. In our March/April 2009 issue, The Sasquatch ventures out from the wilderness to bring you compelling local news coverage of the housing crisis in Regina, the nuclear debate and a local food column on eating sustainably.
