The Friends of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum are hosting Artifact/Artifiction, our annual fundraiser and game where you call our bluff. We'll present peculiar artifacts from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum collections – and strange tales about their origins – throughout the gallery spaces. Which tales are fact? Which are fiction? Uncover the twisted truths and you'll take home the GRAND PRIZE: a $3000 CAA travel voucher courtesy of the Bassendowski Fund. Your ticket includes light appetizers, a beverage (beer or wine), PLUS games and entertainment including a silent auction, raffles, music and cash bar.

Palaeontology

Restoring our Rich Fossil History - One Bone Fragment at a Time

Simply put, Saskatchewan has an amazing fossil record! It is an interesting story, and one of the individuals who gets to help tell it is Wes Long, Collections Manager in Paleontology with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum.  “I have been interested in paleontology for as long as I can remember,” Wes explained. “When the opportunity came up to go on a field trip to the Killdeer Badlands back in 1993, I jumped on it. Shortly after, I became a volunteer, which eventually led to a full-time position with the RSM.”
