Laura Hosaluk

Laura is of European Saskatchewan Settler descent. Her ancestry travels back in four directions: Ukraine, Poland, Scotland, and England. Arriving upon Treaty 6 and Treaty 4 Territory in 1983 in Saskatoon, Hosaluk had the opportunity to absorb Arts and Crafts from her father and the many rural and international craftspeople who worked beside him. Craft became Hosaluk's culture, reflecting a mutual interrelation (earth-human dynamic) of working with the earth's resources with one's hands to make beautiful things.

For the past 15 years, Laura's creative practice has been a personal pursuit and a powerful tool for community engagement. She has dedicated herself to serving Saskatchewan children, their families, and the community through various impactful community art projects, leaving a lasting impression on those she has worked with.

In 1996, while attending high school at Mount Royal Collegiate, she was able to leave class to participate in cultural ceremonies, such as sweat lodges, offered by an Indigenous Studies teacher, Mr. Smith. She found that real learning happened for her outdoors. From 2009 to 2011, she became the Clubhouse Director with the Boys and Girls Clubs after-school program in Confederation, Here she crossed paths with Elder Joseph Naytowhow. This connection has since led to an ongoing collaboration on art and cultural programming, enriching her cultural education. She emphasizes that some of her most significant learning has come from community programming, as it allows her to meet the people of this territory and broadens her perspective on new ways of thinking.

Hosaluk is furthering her education after completing her BFA at Thompson Rivers University, Open Learning Program. 

Christine Devine

My name is Christine Devine 

I love adventure and nature. for the last six winters, I lived in Costa Rica in a treehouse in the jungle. I got to see a variety of birds and insects that would most likely scare most people. 

I am looking forward to being part of this program and getting to know the children.

Many years ago, I had a children’s entertainment company here in Saskatoon called “Something Devine Childrens Entertainment custom Birthday Parties with Face Painting, theatre games and storytelling specifically designed towards each childs interest. 

I am really looking forward to getting to know all of the children and their parents.
