Shurniak Art Gallery

Great Southwest - Big Muddy

Big Muddy Badlands are an amazing spectacle of nature's architecture, and in the heart of it all is Castle Butte, a relic from the ice age.

The whole area is full of surprises, including the Shurniak Art Gallery in Assiniboia, home to world class art collections, and the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, located underground in Moose Jaw's historic downtown district.

Castle Butte is located 24 km southwest of Bengough, 110 km southeast of Assiniboia and 170 km south of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Assiniboia

This past Christmas, I spent time in a small town in Saskatchewan, about 150kms from where I was born. Assiniboia isn't known for much but I have always appreciated the calm I've found there. This video is just a fun montage and an opportunity for you to see a place you'll probably never go.
