Presentations, Readings and Lectures As you may have guessed, I have developed a
passion for Saskatchewan – its people, its places and its history. And I love having the opportunity to share that
passion with young and old alike. Any
group, any time, anywhere! Most particularly I love being able to get out to
small town Saskatchewan and meet and swap lies with some real people! A format that works very well has me
visiting the local school in the afternoon where I’ll typically do two
one-hour presentations to Grades III-VIII and IX-XII, or something along
those lines, followed by an evening get-together with a service club, local
history group, library, etc. Other formats are
easily arranged as well. For you teachers out there – is there enough Saskatchewan
in your classroom? A Bill Barry
presentation will captivate and entertain your kids, and inspire them to read
and probe in a variety of curriculum areas. I often begin my school visits by asking the
students how many of them speak Cree.
Not a lot of hands go up in most schools. Then I get them to name for me our largest
city, and to recite for me the name of our province. When I tell them they’ve just been speaking
Cree, I’ve got them hooked! Our place names are an ideal supplement to Indian
studies since so many of them reflect our First Nations heritage. Interested? Please get in touch: peopleplaces@accesscomm.ca or phone 306 525 6101 No one has ever gone to sleep during one of my
presentations! Money back if you’re
not completely satisfied. Feel free to check with any of the groups I have
