Hello! I am a game designer and independent publisher in Regina. I make board games, card games, and role-playing games, some of which I have run at FRAGCon. Three of my games are now available as PDFs from DriveThruRPG.com http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=4080 (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=4080).
Spectrum is a time travel role-playing game. My goal was to make a simple basic system, to allow the players and Guide to focus on all the complexities of really detailed time-travel. This is an intense head-trip for serious gamers and hard-sci-fi fans. There is also a free demo module available.
Fingerprints is a story-game of post-modern superheroes. It's rules-light, and uses a weird dice mechanic where you roll dice onto your character sheet, and use whatever word your die lands on in your narration.
Monster Box is a free short rpg of kids with pet monsters. Please download it, read it, play it, and let me know what you think!
I also teach game design classes for kids (9-14) at the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre in Regina. http://www.regina.ca/residents/recreation/recreation-facilities/arts-centre/ (http://www.regina.ca/residents/recreation/recreation-facilities/arts-centre/)

I'm glad to learn about the SaskGames community, and I will be posting more of my games, classes, and events here as well!
Are softcover copies of Spectrum available in any stores in the province? I would like to buy a copy, but am not keen to pay shipping if I don't have to.
Unfortunately not. Where are you at? If you're in Regina, I could arrange to sell you a copy in person. If you're in Saskatoon, I'll be up there on the 19th for the Entertainment Expo.
Thanks for your interest in Spectrum!
Sure, I'll send you a PM.
