Biography
Kayla MacInnis is a Métis storyteller who, in her work, mixes the visual and written worlds. As a Journalism and Creative Writing student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, she hopes to pursue a Ph.D. in Communications and film studies. Currently, as well as being a freelance writer and photographer, Kayla is a Teaching Assistant and the Lead Editor for SAD Magazine. In life, and reflected in her work, Kayla is interested in the phenomenology of seeing, which approaches how an experience can affect how we experience the world around us. In storytelling, this happens through expanding knowledge further than the written. Kayla's approaches include the use of other experimental mediums (such as sound design) to recreate moments and tell stories as closely as possible to the way they were previously experienced (words by Laura Machado).

Then she leaned in. If you ask me, she said, I’m excited about the jobs. She’s not alone in enthusiasm for a massive $16-billion project, including a pipeline not far from the town. But not everyone is so excited, photojournalist Amber Bracken told me after visiting the community last summer.

The Saskatchewan election results are in and the Saskatchewan Party has held onto power in Monday’s election, elongating a political dynasty that started in 2007. The party, however, was humbled by a resurgent NDP. Initial results around midnight showed the governing party under Scott Moe lost 12 seats, but won 35, enough to form a majority government.
