History Alive! Vignettes is produced, promoted and presented by five partners, including: the Government of Saskatchewan’s Provincial Capital Commission, Government House and the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly - Visitor Services, along with Reality Check Productions and Heritage Saskatchewan.
“As our province continues to grow stronger, it’s important for us to take a moment to step back into our history and learn from our past,” Minister responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Mark Docherty said. “The success of these vignettes is an opportunity to continue to tell the Saskatchewan story”.
CEO of Heritage Saskatchewan, Ingrid Cazakoff, stated “an initiative like this would not be possible without the support of our partners, who have contributed their time, resources, expertise and energies.
In addition, we are very fortunate to have as our sponsors Tourism Saskatchewan, Government House Historical Society and the Regina Hotel Association. Heritage Saskatchewan would also like to acknowledge the core funding it receives from the Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation, through SaskCulture Inc.”
Heritage Saskatchewan is a non-profit organization and the collective voice of all those who value heritage in Saskatchewan.
