The 2016 Provincial Heritage Fair will take place at Government House in Regina on Wednesday, May 25.
Any teachers wanting to participate in the Heritage Fairs program need to sign up on Monday, February 1.
This is to register the total number of students creating Heritage Fairs projects. These numbers are then used by the Regional Heritage Fair committees to determine how many students from each school are eligible to attend each regional fair.
The 2015 Provincial Heritage Fair took place at Government House in Regina on June 3, 2015. Regional Fairs in 2015 took place in Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, Swift Current, and Regina.
Like the Regional Fairs, the provincial Heritage Fair provides the selected students with the opportunity to showcase their work to the public and other students; to participate in hands-on, interactive workshops; to explore heritage spots; to hear stories of our province’s past; and to compete for several awards. Additionally, the provincial fair brings together students from across the province. It is a unique opportunity for those selected to attend to meet fellow students from across Saskatchewan with an interest in heritage.
Planning is underway for Heritage Week! Heritage Saskatchewan’s annual general meeting will be held on Friday, February 19 in Saskatoon.
Heritage Saskatchewan is working with SaskCulture and the Heritage Conservation Branch of the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport to co-host a Municipal Cultural Planning Workshop, facilitated by Greg Baeker, on Thursday, February 18 at the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon. A smaller, more targeted, session will be held before their annual general meeting.
Heritage Saskatchewan is in conversation with other organizations that are looking at holding activities during Heritage Week.
