the Chair Message from
It’s hard to believe a year has already passed. As I reflect on the past year, I’m reminded of the strength and creativity that exists within our communities. Across Saskatchewan, cultural organizations and communities continue to adapt in the face of change, finding new ways to connect, create, and sustain their work. These realities have shaped important conversations over the past several years and have helped clarify the path forward for SaskCulture. SaskCulture is moving forward with greater focus and intention. Our recently approved Strategic Plan reflects where we are going next. It is grounded in what we have heard through ongoing engagement with the sector and sets a clear direction for how SaskCulture will continue to support cultural experiences across the province. This includes a commitment to Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility, and advancing Truth and Reconciliation, and ensuring that youth and communities across Saskatchewan feel reflected and supported in our work. We extend our sincere thanks to the many individuals and organizations who shared their perspectives through Consultations, including the Funding Program Renewal and the Annual Global Funding consultations, and other engagement opportunities. Your voices continue to shape our understanding and guide our decisions in meaningful ways.
The Board is focused on ensuring that resources are managed responsibly and that decisions reflect both current realities and long-term sustainability. I am honoured to work alongside a dedicated group of Board members who bring care, insight, and a shared commitment to a strong and inclusive cultural sector. While the environment around us continues to evolve, so too does our approach. We move ahead with a deeper understanding of the sector, a clear sense of purpose, and a continued commitment to those we serve. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank SaskCulture staff for their dedication. Thank you as well to our partners and to cultural communities throughout the province for your continued passion, collaboration, and trust.
Sincerely,
Yvonne Hotzak Chair, SaskCulture
