Something new is under way at the Portage Mall. A storefront's been dedicated for a year to re-discover Canada.

If you've been to the Portage Mall lately, you've probably noticed a new display in one of the storefronts.

It's a profile of Saskatchewan, and Mall Manager Lynn Jonasson says it's the first part of a year's project. All the provinces and territories will have their turn, with Manitoba featured next June, to coincide with Canada Day.

She notes the idea came about in discussions on mall promotions, and they felt re-discovering Canada was worthwhile. So far, the repsonse has been very positive.


Jonasson adds the display will be changed every month. They'll highlight provinces and territories randomly, instead of grouping them by region.
