    City Lights News is on the move. Its mission, discovering Saskatchewan thanks to the newest technology - Internet, laptops, cellular phones, digital cameras, and all the modern contraptions that we can use to escape from the office we know. Only a few years ago all this would have seemed science fiction, today it is reality. Who says that new technology is dangerous. It certainly has its uses and great advantages. We have been able to visit many of our lakes and still bring business along, keeping in touch with everyone by email. Oh yes, home is where the heart is... and ours is on the move!!!
