Are you from Saskatchewan?

Yes? Good! I feel like this would be the perfect moment to take a look backward over my right shoulder, drawing your eyes to a poster of a man standing in a prairie field. “What’s he doing?”, you might ask. Well let me tell you! He’s pointing at you! Yes you! Why? Well, it’s because we need you! More specifically, We Wish You Were Here needs you!

Alright. What is a “We Wish You Were Here”?

Right now, it’s a website and a group of people trying to get the word out. What word is that? Easy, we want the world to know that Saskatchewan is more than a rectangular shaped, hard to pronounce province in Canada. Saskatchewan is an awesome place to live, to work, and to raise your future Saskatchewanians! (Are we Saskatchewanians? Is that what we are called?)

I’m in! What can I do?

Glad you asked! The more people involved, the more successful this will be. Right now, help get the word out! Tell your friends, share posts on Facebook, retweet on Twitter, blog about it, pretty much anything that will get more people behind the project!

Website

Address: www.wewishyouwerehere.ca

The website will have all the information you need to learn more about all of this. The main thing that you should do here, is join the mailing list. Make sure that you are kept in the loop. You aren’t going to be spammed by emails claiming that you’ve won a cruise or trying to sell you a little pill that will enlarge your… well you get the point. None of that!

Facebook

Address: www.facebook.com/wewishyouwerehere

If you are on Facebook, check out the page! While you’re there, you could pull up that comfy chair you like so much, put your feet up and like the page. Maybe you could even share a post from the page on your timeline.

Twitter

Guess what? No actual Twitter account here. What can you do on Twitter? Whenever you tweet anything related to the project just include the hashtags #wewishyouwerehere and #saskatchewan. When this all takes place, with enough people involved, these hashtags will be trending!

This is exciting! What day is it happening?

The date! When is this happening? Well, we don’t know just yet. It has been narrowed down to June of this year. The actual day hasn’t been finalized at the moment, but as soon as it is, the website, Facebook page and Twitter feed will all let you know!

That’s it!

Help get the word out about Saskatchewan! You like living here, I like living here and there has to be more than just us! Find those people! Get them involved! Now! Go!
