It is important to remember that the maintenance of lottery funding levels depends on the continued efforts of beneficiary groups to promote Sask Lotteries and encourage lottery ticket sales. Beneficiary groups also play an important role as advocates in support of the benefits of sport, culture and recreation for the people of the province. It is incumbent upon the lottery- supported cultural network to reach out with innovative ways to engage new participants, and support cultural activities at the local level. The continued support of volunteer organizations in Saskatchewan through the Lottery Licence Agreement is highly based on the recognition of the importance of sport, culture and recreation to community life.
The volunteer sector has been entrusted and empowered to develop and deliver a cost-efficient system of cultural activities at the grassroots level in communities throughout the province, as well as providing access to quality, inclusive activities that enhance lives and energize communities. This volunteer-driven system is one of the most successful lottery delivery networks in the country. The work of these volunteer groups also significantly impacts the provincial economy as Saskatchewan sport, culture and recreation activities generate billions of dollars in labour income and support thousands of full-time jobs.
