“Weaving Words” is a project of the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild and Global Gathering Place to engage newcomers to Canada living in Saskatoon through the art of creative writing and storytelling. Through a series of workshops facilitated by established Saskatoon writers, participants write new work and have that work published on our website. Each group has the chance to share their work in a celebratory public ceremony.
Weaving Words: August 2025
These stories were inspired and created by newcomers to Canada living in Saskatoon during the August 2025 installment of Weaving Words facilitated by Peter Hedley. The series theme was “If the City Could Speak”.
This program is in partnership with the Global Gathering Place in Saskatoon, SK and supported by Saskatchewan Lotteries Community Grant Program 2025, funded by Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund and the City of Saskatoon.
