We are also pleased to welcome Regina Wascana Plains MLA Brent Blakley as he steps into the role. We look forward to working together to promote and safeguard cultural heritage across our province.

We want to express our appreciation to Saskatoon Stonebridge MLA Darcy Warrington for his dedication and advocacy during his time as Shadow Minister for Parks, Culture and Sport. His support for Saskatchewan’s cultural heritage has not gone unnoticed and we have very much enjoyed working with him.

Happy holidays from Heritage Sask!

Enjoy your festive season, sharing and passing on your best living heritage associated with this time of year.

Our office is closed for the season and will reopen Jan 5, 2026
