I know some of you on the ArtMetal List are located in the Great White
North. I received the e-mail attached below and was wondering if you could

>I don't know of any Canadian national organization, but here on the great
plains, we have the WESTERN CANADIAN BLACKSMITHS' GUILD with about 70+
members in Alberta, and 120+ in Saskatchewan, and growing.  The Sask.
chapter is organized at this time into 3 forges, the Saskatoon Forge, the
Southwest Forge, and the Border Forge, which consists of members in both
Sask. and Alberta.  We have regular meetings, hammer-ins, courses, and
publish a monthly newsletter, the Rivet, which we exchange with many other
blacksmith newsletters in North America.  We are a member chapter of ABANA.
We are strongly associated with Saskatchewan's Western Development Museum,
and do all the volunteer demonstrating in the museum's blacksmith shops in
all their locations, and in the "Doc's Town" heritage village in Swift
Current, Sask.
