Message from
the Chair
On behalf of the Board, I want to thank the amazing SaskCulture staff for all their great work over the past year. Thank you as well to our partners, the cultural communities, and everyone who continues to show such dedication, passion, and trust. The path ahead is bright, and I look forward to walking this journey with you all.
We are especially grateful to the cultural communities, who have not only provided numerous opportunities for all people to experience arts, heritage and multiculturalism throughout this province, but have also been a vital part of this work, sharing concerns and perspectives in conversations that are helping us move forward with greater awareness and understanding. At the Board level, we have taken meaningful steps to ensure our leadership reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. I am truly honoured to work with these dedicated volunteers, who pour their hearts and souls into ensuring that we have a strong, inclusive, and thriving cultural community. There is still much to learn and do. As we continue to listen, evolve, and lead with care, I believe that, together, we are building something that will have a positive impact on generations to come.
This past year has reminded us of the importance of listening, not only within SaskCulture, but also to the cultural communities we serve and belong to, to one another, and to the changing world around us. As we navigate shifting social, economic, and community landscapes, we are reminded of the importance of staying responsive, open, and grounded in our values. The Board remains deeply committed to our current Strategic Plan, with a strong focus on advancing Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility, and Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action. These values are not only central to our daily work, but they are also shaping the direction of our Funding Program Renewal Project, which is now in the consultation phase. Feedback gathered during this phase will help inform how we continue to serve and support the cultural communities in the future.
Sincerely,
Yvonne Hotzak
