During the month of August, the Archaeology Centre (1-1730 Quebec Avenue) will remain closed due to ongoing construction in our office complex which limits physical access to our office. If you need to stop by, please email or call ahead (306-664-4124) to set up an appointment with a staff member. All staff are available via email Monday to Thursday from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm. Please note that if you call the office, it may take a day or two to return your call. Our next printed communication will be in the August issue of the Saskatchewan Archaeology Quarterly and you can check our social media or website for ongoing updates.
If you’re bored and need something to do, check out Activity page! Colouring pages, word searches, etc.!
