About our new site

Our new web is set up to allow community members to be active participants. Its necessary to have an account on our new site to become an active participant. The rest is easy.

An account is necessary to create stories, events, add photos, blogs, and to use the online event volunteer management sytem. If you would like to participate please request an account by contacting Gordon Holtslander at gordon.holtslander@usask.ca.

Only members of our community will be given accounts. An account provides one with a username and a password. These are used to "log-in" to our site. At the bottom left of the site there is a user login section.

One logs in by entering their username and password and clicking on the "log in" button. A person who logs into our site is given the ability to contribute material on our site. Its not necessary to login to view our site. The web site identifies and keeps track who made contributions and comments through a person's account. Only a person who made a contribution can change or delete the contribution. The web site administrators can also change or delete contributions to the site. If you would like a "hands-on" instructional session on contributing to this site, please contact Gordon Holtslander. (see email address below)
