Publishing in Education: A Prairie Memoir, edited by S.D. Hanson, details the reminiscences of James Clinskill, who moved
from Scotland in 1882. His memoirs reveal the excitement of the early 1900s, a time of enormous development on the
prairies. Building for the Future was also nominated in this category.
Regina Book Award and Fiction Award categories: Dancing in Poppies, by Gail Bowen and Ron Marken, a passionate anti-war
play set during World War I. The action is heartfelt and plainspoken, a close-up examination of small-town Saskatchewan
people whose lives are irrevocably changed by war.
Scholarly Writing: Saskatchewan Communities in the 21st Century, by Jack Stabler and Rose Olfert, which follows the
evolving community from village to rural trade centre regions, focusing on creating efficient governmental jurisdictions
and institutions so essential in rural Saskatchewan.
