For the first time in 20 years the Museum of Natural Sciences in the Geology Building unveiled a new installation - the fossil of a Mosasaur.

The Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, paid a visit to the University of Saskatchewan Sept. 9. to announce federal support for the rejuvenation of the Diefenbaker Building.

There is more than meets the eye in a new exhibition at the Kenderdine Art Gallery.

LINEage: Tracing Generations of Faculty, 1936-2008 is, first and foremost, an eclectic retrospective of work by those who have taught studio art in the Department of Art and Art History. It is also a student assignment, a project that has taken students in Mona Holmlund’s professional practices class on a journey from initial research to arranging the paintings on the gallery walls. And it is the first in a year-long series of exhibitions that will explore, and celebrate, art at the University of Saskatchewan.

On Feb. 15, 1965, the Red Ensign was run up the flagpole and flew over Canada’s Parliament in Ottawa for the last time. That same day, the country was introduced to its new flag when the distinctive maple leaf was flown for the first time atop the Peace Tower. Both the original and historically significant flags are now on display at the Deifenbaker Canada Centre in an exhibition entitled The First Maple Leaf produced by the Canadian Museum of Civilization. It is the first time either has been displayed outside of Ontario. The exhibition also includes the Pearson Pennant, a prototype flag favoured by the Prime Minister of the day, as well as numerous artifacts from the Diefenbaker Centre’s collection. The flags will be on view until February.
