The Watson Art Centre is hosting a Lunch and Learn session with Glenella author, Jessie Klassen.
She’s going to be teaching mindfulness and how to connect with nature, which are some of the themes in her children’s book, “The Sapling”.
Although the book is for children, the teachings and activities are something that people of all ages can enjoy.
Klassen talks about how technology impacts us all.
“Especially now-a-days there’s so much technology and added artificial additives and preservatives in our food. All these things that are affecting who we are and our children and their behaviours, so all these techniques, because they’re nature based really help bring us back to a state of balance.’
The Lunch and Learn session is from noon to 1:00 in the afternoon on Thursday

This morning at Tim Horton’s in Dauphin, residents could visit with local RCMP at Coffee With A Mountie.
This week wraps up National Police Week and members of the detachment were available to chat with and answer any questions people may have.
Nolan Suss, Staff Sergeant and Area Commander of the Parkland Detachment, tells us what level the detachment is staffed at currently.
“Well the RCMP is always recruiting and we’re always turning over people. Actually we are at strength plus one, so we have one extra right now, but we have people coming and going. We’re going to be losing three more this summer and getting more in as well; it’s always a constant rotation.”
Suss noted what kinds of crime in the area, keeps them busy.
“Dauphin has the gamut. We have a little bit of everything. We have a lot of property crime, there’s a drug scene here as well, and your regular assaults and that kind of stuff, so anything you see in the big city, we have in Dauphin.”
The Parkland Detachment covers a big area, from Grandview, Ethelbert, Dauphin, South of Moon Lake and to Ochre River.
