Modelling Saskatchewan's Built Heritage by ahsk.ca
Thanks to volunteers in Saskatchewan and from as far away as Ontario, Newfoundland and Australia, several hundred heritage buildings now appear on Google Earth. Modelling Project coordinator, Gregg Babish, avocetgeo@gmail.com hopes that other people will consider learning to model and post buildings. It is not difficult to do. The Society supports this project because it represents another way in which our province's built heritage can be demonstrated and preserved. That's our job. There were over 3,000 grain elevators in Saskatchewan in 1930. By 2004, there were less than 200. Why not work to preserve this important part of our history. Modeller Julio Signorelli has posted more that 300 buildings in Saskatchewan communities on Google Earth. Here is his now growing collection of elevators: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/cldetails?mid=741deed0d923ee0554cecbd9722c1db6

New Life for Moose Jaw's Historic Natatorium? by ahsk.ca
According to discovermoosejaw.com, the City of Moose Jaw's Heritage Advisory Committee wants to see something done with the historic Natatorium. The Committee has decided to host an public open house February 11th for persons interested in sharing their ideas. AHSS Director Brian Bell sits on the committee and says they are hoping a tour of the inside will get the wheels turning. The Phyllis Dewer pool indoors at the Natatorium has been closed for years. Restoration would give that city a decided advantage in the province for winter tourism. http://www.discovermoosejaw.com/
