The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed February 21-27 as Heritage Week in the province and there are a number of exciting activities planned.
"Each year, Heritage Week provides an occasion for the people of Saskatchewan to take part in activities that remind us of our province's unique history," Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Bill Hutchison said. "
This year the main Heritage Week events are in Regina, starting with a public lecture by Lieutenant Governor Dr. Gordon Barnhart. Dr. Barnhart will speak about the history and significance of two of Saskatchewan's great heritage treasures, the Legislative Building and Government House which is celebrating its 120th Anniversary this year. A second event is a day-long workshop on cultural planning for municipal officials which will focus on the valuable role culture and heritage play in building vibrant, prosperous communities.
