‘THE LAST BEST WEST’ phrase . . .
. . . was used by the Dominion of Canada in the late 1800’s to market the Canadian prairies to Eastern Canadians and prospective immigrants abroad.
‘THE LAST BEST WEST’ presentation/show . . .
. . . is a multi-faceted approach combining education and entertainment -- through song, stories, poetry and visuals to communicate the history, heritage and legacies many Western Canadians inherited. My goal is to advocate for the contributions and sacrifices of those who blazed the trails before us. JR


"Our division had Jim for three days in two schools. His music and messages were very well received. Importantly, he was a joy to deal with. I highly recommend Jim for your school or community."
