In October, Sage was there for the unveiling of a sculpture of Leo LaChance during the official opening of the new provincial courthouse in St. Albert. The courthouse was built on the same block where LaChance was shot to death by white supremacist Carney Nerland in 1991.

Also in October, Sage brought you news of the death of Metis leader, writer, academic and activist Dr. Howard Adams, who passed away at his home in Vancouver.

The issue also included coverage of the commemoration of the 125th anniversary of the signing of Treaty 6 in Fort Pitt, the seventh annual Prince Albert Metis Fall Festival, and news of Kitsaki Meats Ltd.'s latest accomplishment - winning a 2001 Canada Export Award.
