    CA$19.95
    In 1920, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police became the stewards of a large Tudor Revival-style building sitting on several hectares of land in what is now known as the Cambie corridor. Built in 1914 on the ancestral lands of the Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam, and Squamish First Nations, among others, the building began its life as a private boy’s school and later became a military hospital before the Mounties built their barracks and took up residence there.

    In the past century, Fairmont Barracks has been our home, our training facility, our post garage, our stables, and much more. In the NCOs’ and Officers’ messes, our police officers have swapped stories and kept our traditions alive. Over the years, thousands of our employees have worked in the building’s offices, solving complex crimes—sometimes highly publicized, but often not—in a communal effort to keep all Canadians safe.
  • Foxholes at the Borders of...

    CA$19.95
    The poetry of Counce Brampton is not a destination but a movement, a ramble through language, leaving a lot of room for alternate understanding. The yoke of clarity is thrown off, allowing the music of words to be heard, the spice of vocabulary to be tasted. These poems are the musings of a singular being who has escaped influence, ambition, and desire. They are a mind speaking in the mode of quiet incantation.

  • nēhiyawēwin...

    CA$74.95
    A Little Plains Cree Book for Children<i> contains useful noun categories, phrases, and some basic rules for the Plains Cree language.

    Following the themes of the Saskatchewan Curriculum Guide for Kindergarten to Grade 12 on Aboriginal Languages, the content focuses on terms familiar to the First Nations Cree people of Saskatchewan.

    The enhanced e-book edition, available separately, gives learners an opportunity to see and hear the text spoken by a Plains Cree Elder. This book should also be supplemented by total physical response (TPR) methods, in addition to teaching materials such as songs, games, and flash cards.

    Our hope is to encourage a basic understanding of the language so that learners are able to converse with Plains Cree speakers. The best path to fluency in the Plains Cree language is immersion, but learning one word at a time is a good place to start!

    CA$29.95
    The Magic of the Peatlands

    There’s a melody, if you pay heed,
    calling you to follow Nature’s lead—
    a familiar tune, a chorused creed,
    a song of both grown plant and seed.

    As the fluted magic on the wind floats by,
    you might find yourself only insect-high—
    or even too small to be seen by the eye!
    (But how else could you ride a dragonfly?)

    The Council of Beings has asked me to greet
    young readers who would like to meet
    nature’s apprentices. Their challenging feat
    is to strive to save the moss and peat.
