Cariboo;
Good evening to you sir, I trust this finds you well and warm on this last week of January.
I grew up around Yorkton mainly but spent 3½ years in Nipawin too and had family living in spots like Black Lake and Cumberland House - so I too had a pair of moccasins.
We surely did all have the green duck parkas for work - and had the slippery nylon shelled, goose down stuffed parkas made in Zenon Park for school wear.
Other than what's been mentioned, one term that seems to be a Saskatchewan/Alberta term is "boomer" or "load boomer" instead of "chain binder" or "load binder" that they use here in BC.
Anyway if I think of a few more Canuckisms I'll add them later, but that's all I can muster at present.
All the best to you Cariboo.
Dwayne
