Fine Arts faculty member Sarah Abbott led a strong contingent of University of Regina representatives into the fifth annual Mayor's Arts and Business Awards held May 27 in Regina. Abbott, an assistant professor of Media Production and Studies, accepted the award in the Innovation in the Arts category for Out in the Cold, a film that shed light on the "starlight tour," the non-sanctioned police practice of taking individuals, mainly First Nations men, to the edge of town and abandoning them in freezing weather.
