It marked the 7th annual Culture Days weekend in Saskatchewan and an estimated 25,000 people came out to try something new!
From Abernethy to Yorkton, Saskatchewan people discovered new, interesting and fun cultural activities to participate in during their Culture Days weekend!
There were over 275 Culture Days activities in 41 Saskatchewan communities offering something for everyone!
The Province of Saskatchewan designated the dates as Culture Days in Saskatchewan and a dozen communities made municipal proclamations and hosted flag-raising ceremonies to celebrate the occasion.
From teepee raisings and printmaking, to storytelling and walking tours - Saskatchewan people participated in an amazing array of free and interactive cultural activities!
Elbow put on a Culture Days extravaganza that shone the spotlight on the community's diversity and intangible cultural heritage, as well as the many arts and cultural opportunities available to all to experience!
Some local members of the Royal Mounted Canadian Police even tried something new! After a quick lesson from the Creeland Dancers, they do their best Red River jig with accompaniment by renowned Métis musicians Phil Boyer and Dallas Boyer.
Thank you to every Culture Days organizer, volunteer, artist, and participant for helping make Culture Days in Saskatchewan another resounding success!
