To the Editor:
February 17-23 is Heritage Week in Saskatchewan.
Heritage Week reminds us that only when we understand our past can we create a successful present and a vibrant future. I encourage communities, organizations and individuals across the province to participate in Heritage Week. Heritage buildings and historic neighbourhoods are attractive places to live, work and play, enhancing the quality of life that we all enjoy.
Saskatchewan's rich heritage is reflected in historic places, artifacts, traditions and stories. Palaeontological and archaeological sites are important sources of information about Saskatchewan's ancient past. Hundreds of museums, parks and historic sites provide recreational and learning opportunities for Saskatchewan people, and are exciting destinations for tourists and other visitors.
Information about Saskatchewan's officially designated Provincial and Municipal Heritage Properties can be found on the Saskatchewan Register of Heritage Property at www.pcs.gov.sk.ca/heritage-property-search.
