Prince Albert Daily Herald
by Ruth Griffiths
Mother’s Day will be the 24th anniversary of my column in Rural Roots. At an estimated 50 columns per year, that is 1,200 columns I have written for Prince Albert Daily Herald.
Rural Roots was created as a weekly news magazine in 1990 and distributed free to homes in North Central Saskatchewan. It’s an area that I know well, having grown up in Tisdale.
I moved to Prince Albert as a bride in 1969 and worked for a year in the lab at Victoria Union Hospital, before returning to classes in Saskatoon to finish a Bachelor of Science degree. I interned at both of the Prince Albert hospitals and became a Registered Laboratory Technologist. My first job was in the lab at Prince Albert Medical Clinic. In 1975 I left behind my science career to become a stay-at-home parent.
