Celebrate Tommy Douglas Day October 20th
In 2005 Saskatchewan passed a bill naming October 20th (every year) Tommy Douglas Day. This is a day worth celebrating in your own way.
One way is to take a moment to listen to one of his most famous speeches,The Story of Mouseland, presented by his grandson Kiefer Sutherland.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqgOvzUeiAA
ps. The Tommy Douglas Day legislation is at http://www.qp.gov.sk.ca/documents/English/Statutes/Statutes/T15-002.pdf. It contains a brief reminder of the reasons why we celebrate Oct 20th, even outside Saskatchewan.
