The Little Community that Could

As Vera Pezer tells the story of Meskanaw, Saskatchewan-- the "little community that could"--those of us who hail from the prairies will recall our town small towns and villages. Like Meskanaw, each had its own spark of energy, something special that made the settlement unique. History is created by circumstances, stories, and people, and the tales of our home towns and their energy continue to enrich our lives and our heritage. Vera Pezer is a Saskatchewan original. Raised in Meskanaw--in its homes, classrooms, ball diamonds, and rinks, amidst the goings-on of the community--she learned to value the people and the province. She went on to represent Saskatchewan as a softball, curling, and golf champion, as well as becoming a coach, sport psychologist, chancellor of the University of Saskatchewan, and author.
