 Let Nature Nurture

“I picked up my first digital camera in 2005 and “shot” a wedding along side my dad. I was hooked. I was a busy mom and worked long hours as an RN, so this was my escape from the hectic life. I jumped into courses, both in person and on-line, and absorbed as much knowledge about both the art of photography and the fundamentals of working the camera. I later studied editing to enhance the pictures I was taking.”

Detail from THIS FARMER AINT GONNA BE HAPPY “Although the moose are very gentle and photo genic, the farmers did not appreciate them eating up their canola crops…”

“I have catalogued a vast number of species found in this great province. Each photo has a back story and I remember the details of all of them. I have experienced some magical once-in-a-lifetime moments down the backroads.” – Brenda Mitchell, Photographer

Firehall Renovation

Clayton McLain Memorial Museum

A long talked-about project in Tomahawk Park has found its legs! The Firehall building is being transformed from storage space into a working shop. Cut Knife’s second firehall was constructed about 1918 to replace the original firehall which was destroyed by fire. Museum volunteers Randy Strelioff and Randy Rohl are currently working on exterior renovations.
