Moose Jaw artist looks to connect Indigenous culture through artwork
The art of Floral Dot Art Acrylic Paintings took place at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum on Saturday. (Damian Smith / CTV News) An artist from Moose Jaw is looking to connect Indigenous culture through artwork. The art of Floral Dot Art Acrylic Paintings, hosted by the Traditional Knowledge Keepers Program, took place at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum on Saturday. Led by Moose Jaw artist Sadi-Rose Vaxvick, participants looked to improve their skills in the art of dot painting. Vaxvick, of Ochapowace First Nation, uses these workshops as a way to connect participants with Indigenous culture. Dot painting The art of Floral Dot Art Acrylic Paintings took place at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum on Saturday. (Damian Smith / CTV News) 'We shared some knowledge of where the originators came from, such as prehistoric, rock pictographs, drawings of Cree and Metis beadwork,' she explained. 'All my artwork seems to be focused on creating dots and focusing on the ceremony and reconnecting back to my Nêhiyaw culture.' Throughout the day, music from Fawn Wood played in the background as around a dozen participants gathered to use these dot paintings as a way to wind down. 'It's very therapeutic and it's healing,' she said. 'A lot of my artwork contains healing and from intergenerational trauma and I like the silence that everyone gives. You can tell we're all here gathered to create our own pieces of artwork and we're all healing in our own way.' Symbolism remains a key component to this workshop. Florals, silhouettes of animals including thunderbird, buffalo, and turtles were common choices around the room. Strawberries were also a common theme, as the objects painted are native to the Saskatchewan land.

Prince Edward wraps up P.E.I. visit with military parade
Hundreds packed the streets of downtown Charlottetown Saturday morning for a rare royal sighting. Prince Edward wrapped up his visit to Prince Edward Island — the first stop on a week-long Canadian tour — with a parade marking a military milestone. The Duke of Edinburgh spent three days on the Island celebrating the 150th anniversary of the P.E.I. Regiment. 'In times of emergency and in times of strife, they will be the first ones to support you,' he said, standing outside Charlottetown City Hall, addressing 80 unit members and the crowd gathered. The parade moved through the city centre to the sound of drums beating and brass blaring, tanks trailing behind, as the Union Jack waved from front porches. 'I've always liked the royals,' said David Windsor MacNevin, who says he was just two years old when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited in 1939. Some shared their first impressions of the Duke. 'I think the Crown is an important part of our history and traditions, and it's fun to see him in action,' said Wayne Scott. 'He's obviously very personable.' Several people had the chance to meet Prince Edward at a regimental ball the night before. 'Very approachable, very down to earth, incredibly charismatic. It was a very enjoyable experience,' said Sarah Jane Crabb, whose husband is a retired military member. Others stood by to cheer on loved ones. 'My husband is in that jeep right over there,' said Sharon Birt-Gallant, pointing towards him. 'I'm so proud to be a Canadian. It's unbelievable.' For two visitor from Florida, it was lucky timing. 'We just happened to be on the cruise that's docked today. And we heard that the prince was in town,' said tourist Kevin Holmwood. 'To be able to be here and see this — what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,' added Jennifer Holmwood. The day carried deeper meaning for those in uniform. The royal recognition, they said, was more than symbolic — it was a nod to their dedication. 'It was an honour, really. I've never got to play in front of royalty before, so that was really cool,' said Cpl. Isabelle McNeill, a musician in the P.E.I. Regiment band. 'It definitely raises the spirits of the regiment to have our colonel-in-chief being here and joining us,' added Cpl. William Carson. Next on the royal itinerary: Toronto, followed by Ottawa for Canada Day.
