“This position allowed me to stray from the beaten path and really experience Saskatchewan,” Dunn said. “Being born and raised in Saskatchewan, I tended to travel around our province, but not necessarily experience it along the way. This job allowed me to take the time to meet new people, stop to hear their stories and be welcomed into the communities of Saskatchewan, I am proud to be from Saskatchewan and honoured to have been the Saskatchewanderer!”
