Other Initiatives & Updates
Love Bomb is a play with music produced by Vancouver-based shameless hussy productions. The production has won numerous awards across Western Canada – but Sept 2023 marked the play's debut in Saskatoon. Love Bomb uses fictional characters but is based on real life criminal cases. The play addresses human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and "love bombing".
Tragically, the issues explored in Love Bomb are not new or unfamiliar in this community. Indigenous women and girls are disproportionately affected by these issues. There are numerous families in Saskatoon – Indigenous and non-Indigenous – that have been impacted.

There was an optional Study Guide for teachers' use following the afternoon performance for students. The evening performance included a post-production discussion panel.
This production was made possible by the City of Saskatoon, Iskwewuk Ewichiwitochik (Women Walking Together), and Mamohkamatowin (Indigenous-led faith community in Saskatoon). There was no charge charge to attend thanks to the support of the First Nations and Métis Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls + Community Response Fund Project—a program of the Ministry of Government Relations, Government of Saskatchewan.
