Who we are

Heritage Saskatchewan is a not-for-profit provincial organisation that gives voice to living heritage: the values, beliefs and ways of living inherited from past generations that are used to understand the present and inform our choices for the future.

We believe that our living heritage informs our sense of identity as individuals and our relationships with others, shaping our communities and contributing to our quality of life.

The development of many and diverse partnerships is essential to our ability to engage, inform, and re-frame the heritage movement in Saskatchewan.

Our research interests are particularly focused on understanding the impacts that our values, beliefs, and ways of living (our living heritage) have on collective wellbeing and our ability to negotiate a shared future.

Our activities and work align closely with UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Our work is focused on Saskatchewan but extends nationally and internationally. In 2019, we became one of only nine NGOs in Canada (and the only organisation west of Quebec) to be accredited by UNESCO in Intangible Cultural Heritage.
