Jeff Returns Home — to the Hidden World of the Hotel Saskatchewan

Behind the chandeliers and polish of the Hotel Saskatchewan lies a hidden world — one Jeff knows through his grandfather Moshe who arrived in Regina in 1946 and worked as a porter and bellman. He wore his crisp CP uniform with pride, serving guests upstairs while a secret life thrived below — bellmen’s lockers hiding whiskey bottles, jokes traded in the halls, and the quiet rebellion that defined the prairie spirit. This episode is about Jeff’s Regina: the streets where he grew up, the people who raised him, and the stories that make the prairies shine beneath the surface of elegance.
