SASK LOTTERIES IS AN IMPORTANT FUNDRAISER
Sask Lotteries is an important fundraiser for more than 12,000 sport, culture and recreation groups in Saskatchewan. Backed by the strength of a volunteer network, these groups provide quality activities that reach more than 900 Saskatchewan communities, rural municipalities and First Nations, and benefit approximately 600,000 registered participants within every demographic of the province. Sask Lotteries is the marketing organization for Western Canada Lottery Corporation products, such as LOTTO 6/49, LOTTO MAX, EXTRA, DAILY GRAND and SCRATCH N’ WIN tickets, sold by retailers in Saskatchewan. Proceeds from the sale of these products are placed in the Sask Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation. Established in 1974, the Sask Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation is a unique partnership of SaskCulture Inc., Sask Sport Inc. and Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association Inc., designed to deliver funding throughout the province. These three non-profit organizations work in partnership with the provincial government, under a multi-year agreement that grants Sask Sport Inc. a licence to operate a major lottery corporation in the province, as well as assuring that the net proceeds go to support the development of sport, culture and recreation throughout Saskatchewan. The Tri-Global
partners share responsibility in the overall governance, policy direction and various joint programming initiatives, as well as managing their respective sections of the Sask Lotteries Trust Fund. SaskCulture manages the Culture Section of the Trust Fund (CST). The Lottery Licence Agreement, signed by the global partners and the Government of Saskatchewan, sets the fee paid to government and outlines the strategic funding priorities of: engaging diverse populations and creating inclusive communities; increasing accessibility; contributing to quality programs and safe, welcoming and well-run facilities; supporting and promoting capacity and leadership; recognizing excellence and celebrating achievement; and encouraging individual well-being and healthy, active lifestyles. SaskCulture is pleased to partner with Sask Sport, Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association and the Government of Saskatchewan to ensure that proceeds from Sask Lotteries support a wide range of sport, culture and recreation programs throughout the province.
