SaskScapes – with guest Lynda Haverstock

/in , , , /by

Season two has launched and it’s great to be back! It promises to be another great season traveling Saskatchewan and sharing your stories.  I can’t think of a better way to start this season than with my guest Lynda Haverstock.  Lynda shares stories from her younger life, musical life, public life, and yes, personal life. Named in 2000 as Saskatchewan’s 19th Lieutenant Governor, Lynda is arguably one of the most influential people in this province. This episode has all of the humor, humilty, passion, integrity and honesty that I’ve come to expect from Lynda. And we wouldn’t want her any other way!
