Personal News: Thursday was my last day at @ctvregina. After 6 wonderful years of reporting in #yqr and throughout #Sask, an opportunity came up for me to grow and try something new. Today is my first day at @AgProducersSK where I will be taking over as communications manager.

Here's a chance to advocate for positive changes

[APAS @AgProducersSK]

The federal and provincial governments are talking about making improvements to AgriStability.

Tell your MP and MLA you support improvements to AgriStability.
