Message from our Publisher It is a true honor to accept the position as Publisher of PINK magazine. I am tickled ‘pink’ (sic) to be working with Lori Kluge, a past colleague of the Leader Post. She is a great designer and graphic artist, so seeing her smiling face every morning warms my heart.

I am inspired by the women we showcase who make a difference here in our province. PINK focuses on the accomplishments of women in academia, sports, business and charity. No matter your social status, the home you live in or the education you have acquired, PINK magazine celebrates and recognizes the accomplishments of Saskatchewan women.

Our goal is to inspire readers to see that they can achieve anything they put their minds to. This March issue highlights Cindy Kenway and her creative work. It was my pleasure to meet this gem of a woman. …You’ll enjoy reading her story!

Renewing Self-Esteem Through the Art of Tattooing

By T. Playter Cindy Kenway is a special person who enjoys making a positive difference in people’s lives. That is why she combined her passion for helping people with her family tradition of tattooing.

Today, Cindy, who owns and operates Obsidian, formerly Custer’s Tattoos, in Qu’Appelle, uses her creative skills in the A.R.T. OF Areola Restorative Tattooing. Her work inspires people and provides them with confidence and an increased self-esteem after having breast cancer surgery.

“The feeling that comes over me when I see the look on the survivor’s face when she looks in the mirror for the first time after the tattoo is beyond words,” said Cindy “It’s so rewarding and uplifting knowing I gave them the ability to feel complete, to love their bodies and 6 |

themselves again.

Cindy credits her dad, Ken, for nurturing her passion for the tattoo business and sharing his love of creating art through drawing and painting.

“My dad was always willing to teach me about art,” said Cindy. “One day he decided to start tattooing and opened Custer’s Tattoos in the 1970s.”

After 36 years in the business, Cindy confesses she gets her creativity from everyday life and the beautiful things around her such as a bird on a fence or flowers waving in the wind.

“The realism around me is what inspires my creativity the most,” said Cindy.

Her dad’s introduction to tattooing when she was young was a major factor in initiating her passion for the art. It also motivated her to follow in her dad’s footsteps.

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 8 ISSUE 1, MARCH 2019

“Watching my dad in his shop as I grew up made me very interested in learning how to tattoo,” said Cindy. “He was one of the first tattoo artists in Central Canada and won a lifetime achievement award for being a pioneer in Canadian tattooing.”

Cindy is also somewhat of a pioneer in tattooing as she is honoured to be the first tattooist in Saskatchewan to complete the A.R.T of Areola Restorative Tattoo certification.

“I am beyond excited to be able to work with breast cancer survivors who have been through a very challenging experience in their lives, namely mastectomies and the reconstruction of their breasts,” said Cindy. “I will be helping women rebuild not only their bodies, but also their self-confidence, by offering them a realistic 3D tattoo version of their nipple/areola complex.

Cindy believes this is a vital step in helping

breast cancer survivors feel whole again.

Part of the process includes Cindy working with the Pink Ribbon Series, the world’s first permanent pigment which is designed solely to create a beautiful and natural vegan range for areola restorative tattooing.

This certification also offers so much more for Cindy’s clients who have suffered through cancer, self-harm or trauma. These new procedures include decorative scar coverups, collagen induction therapy for scar reduction, fine lines and wrinkles and burn revision.

“The certification has opened my eyes to a whole new experience and I’m proud to be part of a great team of certified tattooists that are dedicated to changing lives all over the world,” said Cindy.

Even though Cindy had a love for art and tattooing, she originally chose to pursue a career in the medical profession which provided her with the opportunity of helping others.

“When budgets were cut and districts were formed, my position was cut,” said Cindy. “I was sad that I was no longer working in the medical profession but it gave me the chance to pursue a new career which turned out to be tattooing with my dad.”

With her passion for the medical profession always on her mind, Cindy found a way to combine them. When she was presented with the opportunity to learn medical tattooing she jumped at the chance.

“I met Stacie-Rae Weir when I got tattooed at Smiling Buddha’s in Calgary and I loved her and her energy,” said Cindy. “I started to follow her on social media and when she created and founded The A.R.T. of Areola Restorative Tattooing, it piqued my interests even more.”

Cindy watched Stacie-Rae transform horrible scars into beautiful art and was inspired.

“I thought how great it would be to help people dealing with these types of traumas and help erase the reminders of what they went through every time they looked in the mirror,” said Cindy. “To be able to do this through the method of tattooing was very inviting.”

Whether it be mastectomy scars, self-harm scars or surgical scars, Cindy gives her clients a whole new outlook on life.

Cindy reached out to Stacie-Rae and decided to take the opportunity to help people love their bodies again with medical tattooing.

According to Cindy, the process for medical tattooing, along with any tattooing, starts with a consultation with the client.

“The initial one-on-one consultation provides me with the chance to learn about the client and their needs,” said Cindy. “This meeting helps me to understand who they are as a person now and what they were like before this experience.”

“I also find out what they want their tattoo MARCH 2019, VOL. 8 ISSUE 1 | FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN

I am beyond excited to be able to work with breast cancer survivors who have been through a very challenging experience. to say to the world, how they want to feel in the end and help them understand what is out there and what can be done for them,” added Cindy. “My clients are important to me and I want to become their friend and ensure they know I will go to the end of my means to help achieve this for them.”

A lot of women are unaware that the option to tattoo is even out there for them to consider. During Cindy’s initial consultation, she explains the process and reassures them how safe it is and how it won’t cause them any harm.

“It’s essential to share that tattoos are quite non-invasive,” said Cindy. “At the end of the consultation I outfit them with a pair of Nipplebacks, which are the world’s first realistic 3D temporary nipple tattoos.”

These temporary tattoos will last up to a week and can be a beautiful reminder of

8 |

what has been missing and how it makes them feel whole again. It assists the client in their decision-making process about getting a permanent tattoo. If they are still not sure, continuing to wear the Nipplebacks is a viable option.

“I want to help spread the word that StacieRae, the creator and founder of A.R.T., has pioneered a new approach to achieving realistic, life-long lasting Areola Restorative Tattoos for breast cancer survivors,” said Cindy. After seeing the current industry standards for areola tattooing, she decided that survivors deserved a higher quality of practitioner, and created a team to achieve exactly that.”

Most importantly, Cindy wants to ensure that her breast cancer survivors are aware that they have other options out there and she is here to help.

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 8 ISSUE 1, MARCH 2019

When Cindy is not creating magic at Obsidian, she relaxes by going on long walks in the country with her dogs or sitting in her yard looking at the flowers in her garden.

She’s also known for taking a short journey on her Harley Davidson enjoying the sun and the wind in her face.

As a tribute to her dad and his love of tattooing, Cindy carries this family tradition forward daily by honouring the ancient and sacred roots of the area with every client that comes through the door.

Come to the Obsidian studio and relax while Cindy takes care of you like only a true tattoo veteran can.

“I look forward to working with future clients and breast cancer survivors, you are worth the best and remember you never have to settle.”    

Grasslands National Park Sleep in a tipi, howl with coyotes and experience true conservation in action in the only national park featuring prairie grasslands

Jenn Nelson Smith There may be no better place in Saskatchewan to enjoy the province’s iconic wide-open prairie space than Grasslands National Park. It’s arguably the province’s best spot to witness the “Land of Living Skies” by night, as it is one of Canada’s darkest DarkSky Preserves. It’s also the only national park to represent the prairie grasslands natural region.

Created by erosion from glacial meltwater, the park area features a mix of open grass¬lands, stunning buttes, rolling hills, coulees and scenic vistas of the Frenchman River Valley. Its plains are also littered with unique land formations and jam-packed with rare flora as well as a mix of water, land and sky critters.

The plains bison, the swift fox and the black-footed ferret are among the endangered native species that have been reintroduced into the area. Grasslands National Park is also home to 20 at-risk species. Resident mammals, such as badgers, coyotes, and pronghorn antelopes, as well as reptiles, including prairie rattlesnakes, can be spotted throughout the park. Dusk and dawn are the best times of day to look for fauna, as there isn’t a lot of respite from the sun, especially during scorching summer days.

The park is a birdwatching hot spot year10 |

round. Look for spotted towhees in riparian shrubs, rock wrens in the badlands, and golden eagles in the buttes. Year-round residents like the endangered greater sage grouse and sharp-tailed grouse are best viewed in spring, while summer provides the perfect chance to see the vulnerable longbilled curlews, longspurs and Sprague’s pipits.

Stop at the visitor centres to learn about the variety of events, self-guided tours and interpretive and junior naturalist programs in the park. Many activities are available, from geocaching, mountain biking (note: there are no designated trails) and horseback riding to paddling Between the park’s two blocks, you’ll find diverse activities that make each area an excellent choice to explore in its own right.

As the current park holdings are over 700 square kilometres, plan ahead and take your time touring these incredible grasslands over several days or trips.

East Block Get your hands dirty digging for fossils in the badlands of East Block. Much like nearby Eastend, the eroding layers of earth are dense with 65-million-year-old (and older) fossils of dinosaurs and ancient sea dwellers. Guided

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 8 ISSUE 1, MARCH 2019

digs take place during annual summer events centred on fossil discovery.

Hikers can choose from six front-country hiking trails with easy loops ranging from 1.3 to 2.5 kilometres. They include the Creek to Peak Trail, Rock Creek Trail and Rim Walk Trail. The moderately rated, 11-kilometre Zahursky Ridge Trail loop rewards hikers with a view of the badlands.

Another outstanding trek that’s popular with experienced hikers is the East Block’s Valley of 1,000 Devils. Take in the landscape of striped red-clay hoodoos while roaming the 800-hectare valley of badlands where dinosaurs once dominated. This trail is rated difficult and is 12 kilometres out and back.

Keep an eye out for patches of quicksand (yes, really!) and the greater short-horned lizard. If you are very lucky, these endangered reptiles can be spotted in the Frenchman Valley.

East Block is home to the McGowan Visitor Centre (open May long weekend to Thanksgiving long weekend), and within Rock Creek Campground, there’s a good number of front-country camping options. In addition to 24 tent and RV sites, cool Parks Canada accommodations include eight oTENTiks (a cross between a tent and a cabin) and three

tipis. There are no designated backcountry sites, though backcountry camping is permitted. Visit the Parks Canada website for information on what to expect, and register in person at the visitor centre prior to setting out on your backcountry adventure.

West Block If you’ve happened upon a bison roadblock, you’ve entered the West Block.

In addition to incredible landscapes and archeologically significant sites, West Block is chock full of wildlife. The best way to take it all in is with the Ecotour Scenic Drive — a 2.5 hour, 80-kilometre self-guided drive along Ecotour Road. Historical homesteads, important archaeological sites, interesting land formations, animal colonies and a rubbing stone are all stops to explore during the driving tour.

One of the cutest (and noisiest) stops is at a black-tailed prairie dog colony. Grasslands National Park and the adjacent lands are the only places they live in Canada. Here, quirky antics and the sophisticated chirps of these native prairie dwellers reign supreme.

Endangered burrowing owls can often be spotted on or near the colonies, as they take over abandoned burrows.

West Block boasts 12 front-country hiking trails that offer a variety of views and focal

points. Over 12,000 ancient tipi rings are scattered throughout the park, and you can hike the easy 2-kilometre Tipi Ridge Trail loop to view a few of them. For those who want to get to know the park’s flora, Eagle Butte Trail showcases both common and rare species along a moderate 2.1-kilometre loop.

A historical favourite of bison, blue grama grass is quite easy to find on this trail, as are needle-and-thread grass and prickly pear cacti. Plant lovers should also look for gumbo evening primrose, with flowers that change colour in the evenings. For those who are up for a challenge, the hike to 70 Mile Butte will not disappoint. This 4.1-kilometre loop guides hikers to one of the highest points in the park and offers spectacular views.

Like East Block, there are a variety of accommodations in the scenic Frenchman River Campground, which delivers views of the river, rolling hills and, sometimes, even bison. There are 20 electrical front-country camping sites and four oTENTiks. Tipi rentals are also available at the Two Trees Day-Use Area. Several designated sites for backcountry camping also exist in West Block. All reservations can be made online or at the visitor centre, which is open early May to Thanksgiving long weekend.

Equestrian camping with access to water,

horse pens and more is also available in both blocks. In West Block, equestrian sites can be found south of the Belza Day-Use Area, and in East Block, sites are found in Rock Creek Campground.

International Women’s Day

By Pink Editorial Staff International Women’s Day is celebrated annually in March by many countries around the world. This long-standing initiative provides an opportunity for women to be recognized for their achievements without barriers or divisions. International Women’s Day roots date back to labour movement activities at the turn of the twentieth century in North America and across Europe.

Since those early years, International Women’s Day has grown and taken on a new global dimension for women around the world. In

addition, the increased international women’s movement has been strengthened by four global United Nations women’s conferences.

Events like this have helped to create a strong rallying point which has been used to build support for women’s rights and participation in all political and economic arenas.

It’s an important time in our history because we have a chance to do everything possible to help forge a more gender-balanced world.

Women have come a long way, yet there’s still much more to be achieved.

This year, the theme will focus on innovative ways in which we can advance gender

equality and the empowerment of women. As the world heads toward International Women’s Day 2019, step-by-step planning is underway to celebrate women’s achievements and tenaciously challenge bias.

The International Women’s Day 2019 campaign theme of #BalanceforBetter is a call-toaction for driving gender balance across the world.

How will you help make a difference?

The International Women’s Day website is the go-to hub that provides detailed information, guidance and resources. Find out more at www.internationalwomensday.com.
