THE LATEST NEWS


Obituary and news articles about inspiring 9-time cancer survivor Dionne Warner
n February 1, 2021, the remarkable life of Dionne Warner came to an end. Since her first cancer diagnosis in 1995, Dionne chose to be upbeat, positive, and grateful for every moment of every day, and she encouraged all of us to do so too. In a rejuvenating, fun-loving way, Dionne shared these concepts with thousands of people in Canada and around the world. I am honoured to have written and published part of her story in 2010 in Never Leave Your Wingman - Dionne and Graham Warner's Story of Hope.
My deepest condolences to her wingman, Graham, and their family and many friends. Dionne was much loved and will be sorely missed.
This eloquent obituary was written by Graham and Dionne Warner.
An article in the Regina Leader-Post shares some of Dionne's journey. 
An article by CBC Saskatchewan shares part of Dionne's story too.
Fly high and free, Angel D! Thank you for the light you shone in our lives. We will never forget you.

Introducing:
Tunnels of Time - Moose Jaw Time Travel Adventure #1 

by Mary Harelkin Bishop
Updated & republished by DriverWorks Ink

Instead of enjoying a school trip to the mountains, thirteen-year-old Andrea has to attend her cousin’s boring wedding in boring Moose Jaw. Then she accidentally falls into one of the mysterious tunnels beneath the city and discovers she’s travelled back in time to the 1920s and those dangerous days of the city's underground. Can Andrea outwit the gangsters who are forcing her to work for them in this frightening world? And can she ever find her way back to her family? This updated and republished first book of the Canadian bestselling children’s adventure series features updated language, shorter chapters for easier reading and read alouds, 12 black and white illustrations, and sections for historical notes, ask the author, and discussion questions.
