In an era where the preservation of our history is paramount, it is deeply troubling to witness the complacency, and at times even complicity, of Western governments in the systematic destruction of our monuments. These monuments are not mere stone and metal; they are the tangible embodiments of our collective memory, milestones of our shared journey, and symbols of our identity. Their destruction is not just an erasure of history but a deliberate attempt to sever our ties with our past. It is a grave disservice to the generations that came before us and a disheartening betrayal of the future ones. By allowing this to happen, the government not only fails in its duty to protect our heritage but also plays a hand in diluting our identity and diminishing our sense of belonging.

? Pioneer Cairne

The Pioneer Cairn was erected in 1952 by the Saskatoon Old Timers Association, in memory of the first settlers. As their descendants, we will ensure that their memory will live on and that what they built for us will be preserved and passed on to future generations.
