Why not schedule a Community Visit (CV) with our Consultants? They can provide an overview of the District, Provincial sport, culture and recreation initiatives, and programs, services and resources that are available to you. Not only do we want to see you, we also want to see what your community is up to! Be sure to share events and news with us. We are always looking for partner communities to host special events; for example, the Elbow and District Museum partnered with PCD to bringing a Kairos Blanket exercise to their town. Check out the photos on our website. Find out more about community visits here .
YES! It's Summertime
Saskatchewan inMotion
Longer days, warm weather and lots of free time, makes summer a great time of year for kids to enjoy active play outdoors. Kids are more active when they're outdoors, but safety concerns and the lure of screen time keep kids indoors now more than ever. This summer, use Saskatchewan  in motion's   Summer Bucket List to add some balance and put some outdoor fun and adventure into your summer plans!
Get excited for
Canada Historic Places Day 2018
Historic places tell us the stories that brought Canada to life, teach us about our heritage in a way history class can’t, and can give us a sense of collective identity. On July 7 , thousands of Canadians will join the national celebration during the second annual Canada Historic Places Day by visiting historic places around the country and discovering cultural, Indigenous, and social history. Saskatchewan has over 763 registered sites. Check all of them out here or c heck out the album on the PCD Facebook page with registered places that are in our District.
