Cathy Terepocki Ceramics You may have heard that Cathy Terepocki, the loved and admired local potter, has recently moved away from Saskatoon. We were sad to see her go and we know her presence is already missed in the city. Given this change, The Better Good is thrilled to be able to continue to carry her work and we’re happy to say that an order has recently arrived. So, if you’re working on your mug collection or still looking for that special piece, have no fear! There are plenty new mugs, cups, earrings, necklaces, hairpins and bracelets. Thanks for making this possible with your continued interest in local handmade art.

Grandmothers 4 Grandmothers

The Better Good is so pleased to be able to support Grandmothers for Grandmothers.

“Dear Friends

We would like to sincerely thank you for including G4G Saskatoon among the organizations you support through the operation of your unique, creatively arranged and well-run store and for your very generous donation.
As you probably know all donations and proceeds from our fund raising efforts are sent to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, which is dedicated to raising awareness and supporting hundreds of grassroots projects in Sub Saharan African countries.  These projects are designed to provide assistance with the education, housing, nourishment and health care of millions of AIDS orphans being cared for by their courageous and resourceful grandmothers.

In addition to encouraging donations and fund-raising, our group raises awareness through speaking engagements in schools and community organizations and includes an educational component at each of our monthly meetings to foster our own understanding of issues in Africa.  Membership is open to anyone who wants to make a difference for African grandmothers and their families.
Thank You for assisting us in our mission.
Your Sincerely,
Maureen Cline, Co. Treasurer, G4G Saskatoon”

Our donation to G4G is possible because of our 10% giving program and your support.

Respecting Water and PeopleOn Dec 14 2012 Canada went from being a country with 2.5 million protected lakes and rivers to a country with 159 protected lakes and rivers.  Here at The Better Good, we not only believe that clean water is a basic human right, we recognize that it is essential to sustaining all life on planet earth. We also believe in living in such a way that fosters and supports peace in the world, while recognizing that we live in diverse communities and respecting the many heritages that bring us together. Today on Jan 11th, we write this post to express our solidarity with the First  Nations people of Canada who are working together for rights to clean water, health and dignity for all.
