First Anniversary of Ensign Sunday May 23, 1999 A year has come and gone as Ensign has chronicled the happenings and conditions in North East Saskatchewan. Looking back on the year though much has been done, so much more could have been done. This project was initiated to provide some online information about this part of the planet. Ensign has grown and evolved with the additions of the daily tips in October and then daily weather December 17. We have had some controversy a few threats of law suits, four pulled stories, many QuickTime Panoramas, a few songs and a lot of pictures. The pictures continue to live on and in many ways they are timeless as they capture a moment and share it with you the reader and I suspect they are the main strength of the publication. Work begins now to put this past year into a usable format and record it to CD. If you would like a CD of this past year of Ensign drop us a line. The resources on a CD would be useful not only as a historical record but for the pictures that document life here in Saskatchewan. (Anniversary comments continued)
