Mapping Your Community History

Learn about the stories and traditions which make your community unique. A workshop lead by Kristin Enns-Kavanaugh of the Saskatchewan History and Folklore Society.

What makes your community unique and special? This workshop is designed to help people and communities connect with the wealth of stories, expressions, traditions, and practices that help define who we are. A great way to catalyze interest in reflecting on your unique local heritage.

This workshop is presented by Kristin Enns-Kavanagh, M.A., Executive Director Saskatchewan History & Folklore Society.

Kristin was born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She received a B.A. (Honours) in Anthropology, Archaeology and Women’s and Gender Studies from the University of Saskatchewan in 1997, and an M.A. in Anthropology and Archaeology from the U. of. S. in 2002. Her early career as a field archaeologist gifted her with a deep-rooted sense of connection to Saskatchewan's varied landscape. It also gave her the chance to study a wide range of the Province’s history through archival research, oral history, and archaeological survey. Her career has since evolved to include community engagement, facilitation for community-based visioning, and non-profit governance, complemented by volunteer roles in the non-profit heritage and culture sectors. Kristin is a strong advocate for community-driven processes to share and explore the past and what it means for contemporary people. She believes in building connections between people to collaboratively create shared histories that reflect the diversity of Saskatchewan experiences. She believes storytelling – including the sharing of personal stories – is a powerful way to support one another, create a sense of belonging, and promote justice in communities.
