Are you seeing changes in the diversity of your community? Are you interested in ensuring your programming is more culturally inclusive? Your chance to provide needed input is just around the corner.
SaskCulture, a non-profit cultural organization, is seeking local input on the province's changing demographics and its effect on the delivery of cultural programs and services in communities across our province. Saskatchewan's First Nations and Métis youth demographic is growing and the ongoing arrival of newcomers to the province presents new opportunities to the cultural sector. SaskCulture wants your input to further explore the impact of the growing diversity in communities around the province to ensure the cultural sector can respond to these changes in an informed manner.
As a result a number of public consultations have been planned around the province, including a meeting in Yorkton. All consultations are open to the public and will be held in the evening (approximately 7-9 p.m.):
Dates and locations planned are as follows:
October 1 - Southeast Connection, Weyburn, Royal Canadian Legion, 150 3rd St.
October 2 - Parkland Valley - Yorkton, St. Gerard's Parish Hall, 125, 3rd Ave. N.
October 7 - Lakeland - Prince Albert, E.A. Rawlinson Centre, 142 12th St W.
October 16 - Saskatoon, Saskatoon Indian and Métis Friendship Centre 168 Wall St.
October 17 - Rivers West - North Battleford, Dekker Centre, 623 Carlton Trail
October 22 - Regina, Ukrainian Orthodox Auditorium, 1625 Montreal St.
October 23 - Southwest - Swift Current, Credit Union I-Plex Auditorium, 2001 Chaplin St E
October 29 - Prairie Central - Humboldt, Humboldt Uniplex Rooms 2 & 3, 619-17th St.
SaskCulture, in collaboration with the Northern District for Sport, Culture and Recreation, will be collecting feedback from northern residents as well through a series of already established District consultations that will be taking place in November of 2013. When available, details will be posted at www.nscrd.com and www.saskculture.sk.ca.
