Buildings, artifacts, paintings: those items to be found in museums and galleries. But what about the intangible aspects of our heritage? Those things which help tell your story, the story of your community? What is the folklore you grew up hearing in the area in which you lived? What are the secret family recipes passed down from generation to generation?Kevin Power is joined by Kristin Catherwood, the Intangible Cultural Heritage Development Officer with Heritage Saskatchewan.

Kevin Power is joined by the parents of two performers (ALEXIS NORMAND & FARIDEH OLSEN) from ROSIE AND THE RIVETERS (www.rosieandtheriveters.com), and the parents of Canadian singer/songwriter JEFFERY STRAKER (www.jefferystraker.com).  The topic of conversation is the key role parents and families play in fostering music and creativity;  from their children’s early formative years, to their ongoing support - even now that they are successful artists.==============================================SaskScapes is a podcast featuring the stories of arts, culture and heritage in Saskatchewan.

It's the final episode of 2015! Happy holidays to you all.  Kevin Power is joined by WWII veteran Harold Hague, who, at the young age of 94 shows no sign of slowing down. Harold shares some heroic tales from his time serving overseas, reminding us, that in war, nobody wins.  Harold is joined by his wife Jan who is an artist in her own right and certainly has enough to keep herself busy during her own retirement. Regina residents will know Harold as the owner of Loggie's Shoes, part of the downtown retail landscapes for years, and now home to Regina's Creative City Centre and the Hague Gallery.==============================================SaskScapes is a podcast featuring the stories of arts, culture and heritage in Saskatchewan.

Saskatoon Community Youth Arts Programming (SCYAP) offers a unique employment experience known as URBAN CANVAS. After an hiatus period, Urban Canvas is back with massive support from the city of Saskatoon and the province of Saskatchewan. At-risk youth learn the vital skills to propel them forward in life using art and culture as a tool. Kevin Power is joined by past participants who are now instructors at SCYAP, as well as current participants. Together they share the personal impact this program has on their lives. At  the end of the podcast you'll hear part of a speech given by SCYAP's executive director Darrell Lechman (heard last season in Episode 30).

Recognize, improvise, adapt and thrive. Those are the key skills which lay the ground work for a phenomenal program in North Battleford called B.E.A.T.S. (Building Expression and Awareness Through Theatre and Sound). Alan Corbeil, a North Battleford social worker, created this program in partnership with the Living Sky School Division and the Prairie North Health Region.  The program targets at-risk youth and teaches them the skills that set  a course for a future full of hope. B.E.A.T.S. uses creativity to tap into each of the participant's gifts, and the result is proof in this episode. Kevin Power is joined by Alan along with Holly (artistic director), and two of the programs success stories - Talia and Sereta.  You'll be truly touched by just how articulate, dynamic and confident these two young girls are, and they both credit the B.E.A.T.S. program for their newly found sense of self. ============================================== SaskScapes is a podcast featuring the stories of arts, culture a

SaskScapes turns 70 and what better way to celebrate than with the man who has provided the theme music for the podcast since episode one.

Even Jeffery is part of Taron Cochran's 6-degrees world.==============================================SaskScapes is a podcast featuring the stories of arts, culture and heritage in Saskatchewan.
