Or, for the sake of a few hours a week and a husband who supports her efforts, a woman could earn her high school diploma, or upgrade her skills to find a job. But, fortunately, the values that have been preventing more women from becoming literate are being increasingly challenged everywhere we look. From the Berlin Wall, to Soviet restructuring, to voices raised in support for pay equity and women's right to be free of violence, the spirit of a new world is emerging.

  • Saskcultu Membership Director 2018 Culture in Saskatchewan
    SASKCULTU MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR 2018 CULTURE IN SASKATCHEWAN Culture is defined in many different ways. The word culture often refers to the particular values, beliefs, knowledge and traditions of a group of people. It is also used to describe the everyday life and behavior of people that flows from their beliefs. SaskCulture defines culture as “a dynamic system of acquired elements, with values, assumptions, conventions, beliefs and rules through which members of a group relate to each other and the world.” Culture defines who we are as a people; keeping alive our past, reflecting our values, articulating our dreams and fostering pride in who we are. It proclaims our existence and identity to the world. Arts Art is the expression of inspiration and imagination, from individual to collective, from grassroots to professional, and institution. Art reflects our culture, embraces our past, provides a window to our future to examine ourselves and our experiences, and transmits humanity’s knowledge of the world. The arts engage people as audience, creators or interpreters through access and education, and foster traditional to emerging art forms. Heritage Heritage is what we have received from the past. It shapes our present identity and provides insight for our future. Within the scope for SaskCulture, heritage includes a range of activities in the areas of stewardship, preservation, research, education and engagement. These activities exhibit a sensitivity to the Indigenous natural environment; the impact of the interaction between human activity and natural environments; and differing perspectives regarding objects, ideas, places and traditions. Multiculturalism Multiculturalism represents the openness to experiencing and celebrating cultural differences within the Canadian context.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
