A special focus will be on culture at Kamsack next month on a day when the Kamsack Arts Council will foster an event and the annual rodeo will be in town.
At its regular meeting on August 17, town council proclaimed a Culture Day on September 25.
On behalf of the Kamsack Arts Council, which has been holding a large cultural event each year at the end of September, said that this year’s event will not be as large as it has been in previous years.
Culture constitutes one of the most important factors of the identity of the Town of Kamsack and quality of life for its citizens, the proclamation reads. Culture is integral to the development of individuals and society.
“Culture is born and grows first within local areas,” it says. “The Town of Kamsack has already shown as part of its cultural policy or by its actions, its willingness to support concrete initiatives that assert its cultural identity and active participation of citizens in cultural life.
“The citizens and the cultural sector of the Town of Kamsack recognize the importance of holding an annual event, Culture Day, to combine a multitude of cultural events under the broad theme common throughout the province and nation, by promoting greater access to arts, heritage and culture,” it says. “The event is based on a true concern for cultural democratization.”
