Still on the Books - Can you believe it?
As of 1910, a bylaw in Saskatoon forbids anyone from spitting on sidewalks,
stairways, churches, theatres, and streetcars.


You are breaking the law if you walk down the street with your shoelaces
untied in Fort Qu'Appelle.


Be careful not to walk over the lines on the streets in Prince Albert if they've
just been painted, for this is against the law.



In the News:
The Day of the Dominion of Death.  The city of Regina was flourishing
rapidly with prosperity, but in 1912 its unity would be challenged.  It all began
after a long period of heat. The residents were thankful to finally see dark
skies and rain clouds setting in on the afternoon of Sunday June 30, 1912.
But that gratitude soon turned to fear and uncertainty as a deadly funnel
cloud collided with the city.  That day the cyclone was so horrendous, that
everyday items were transformed into mass weapons of destruction. On his
way home from a walk, Judge Hannon noticed his neighbour's house had
disappeared.  The Beelby family sought refuge in their attic, which was soon
ripped away from the house and tossed into a nearby  backyard -- the family
was dazed, but otherwise safe.  At the new Legislative Buildings, all the exam
papers of the Saskatchewan grade schools were sucked out.  Fifty horses
allegedly were uprooted and landed on the railroad--the horses were
unharmed, but the freight became a mess, and the grain elevator
inexplicably disappeared. When it was all over, 30 people had died, 200 were
injured, and over 2000 lost their homes. Though the funnel's path covered
only 12 by 3 blocks, the property damage was estimated at $4 million!
