The newest Saskatchewanderer is on the job, ready to showcase everything that Saskatchewan has to offer.
Leah Mertz of Saskatoon is the latest person to take on the Saskatchewanderer job. She will spend 2020 on the road, documenting the province’s people, places, and events.
“I’ve always had an innate passion for storytelling and sharing people’s voices no matter how big or small,” 2020 Saskatchewanderer Leah Mertz said in a press release.
“The people are what make this province great, and I will work closely with everyone I meet to honour Saskatchewan’s cultural vibrancy, entrepreneurial spirit, vast diversity, and its beautiful landscape. I grew up on the prairies, and despite living all across Canada the past decade, I knew the prairies were where I was meant to be. More specifically, I knew Saskatchewan was where I was meant to be. I look forward to continuing the great work of the previous wanderers, and with your help, tell your stories and showcase this province like never before. It’s 2020 and we’re going big!”
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Saskatchewanderer program.
“Now in its 10th year, the Saskatchewanderer program continues as a successful marketing strategy to showcase our province as a great place to live, work and play,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister and Minister Responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan Gene Makowsky said. “I look forward to following Leah on her journey to discovering unique Saskatchewan experiences including our provincial parks, food, beverage and tourism industries and the events that draw people to our communities annually.”
