Small town Saskatchewan offers shelter from storm
memorable band trip and a lesson in what makes small towns great are what a Yorkton band director hopes his students will take away from being storm-stayed in Morse, Saskatchewan.
They were among a number of people travelling in the province who got caught in the weather and ended up spending the night in a hall, church or small business in one of Saskatchewan's smaller communiites. Others were left stranded at Davidson and Chamberlain.
About 85 students, their director Mark Zarewucha, and several chaperones were traveling hom to Yorkton from a band festival when they hit the worst part of the storm on Sunday.
“The roads were fine and it was like somebody turned a light switch off on us and the roads got really bad and icy with lots of snow,” Zarewucha described.
