Jo-Ann Carignan-Vallee has a dream to one day, hopefully later this decade, have a trail in Saskatchewan connecting the Wanuskewin Heritage Park and the Whitecap Dakota First Nation.

“I can’t stress enough how this is a dream. But in five to six years it could be a dream that comes true,” said Carignan-Vallee, the Saskatchewan co-ordinator of the Trans Canada Trail.

Depending on its exact location, the proposed trail would be anywhere between 40-50 kilometres in length.

When students returned to classes in September at the Prince Albert campus of the First Nations University of Canada, it was hard for them not to notice how green their school was becoming.

Thanks to a dedicated group of individuals called the Footprints Committee, which was launched in the spring of 2009, those at the university are participating in numerous environmentally friendly programs.

“We are very interested in doing what we can for the environment to save our planet,” said Patti Cannon-Levesque, co-chair of the Footprints Committee.
