National Volunteer Week (NVW) is April 19-25, 2020!
|
|
Help make this National Volunteer Week 2020 extraordinary. Let’s join together and ensure the 12.7 million Canadian volunteers we count on receive a well-deserved round of applause. It's time to applaud this country's volunteers.
The resources in this campaign kit are meant to help guide you in planning, promoting and executing volunteer appreciation activities. Feel free to adapt them to the needs of your organization in order to create the most rewarding and meaningful campaign for your volunteers.

We have a huge contest beginning March 31 leading up to National Volunteer Week! We have two prizes that you could win to go towards your community group or organization.
Our
#MakeTheAsk Campaign helps communities improve their volunteer recruitment processes by making simple changes. One out of four people say they don’t volunteer because no one asked them to, so let’s ask!

Important Update on the 2020 Saskatchewan Summer Games
|
|
As the Saskatchewan Games Council, the Lloydminster 2020 Host Society, and the City of Lloydminster prepare for the 2020 Saskatchewan Summer Games, the safety and well-being of all participants, volunteers, event staff and spectators is the utmost priority.
The Council and the Host Society are closely monitoring the developments related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and are committed to keeping all stakeholders informed as we consider what impacts the pandemic may have on our ability to plan and host the Games. At this time, there is no recommendation to cancel or reschedule the 2020 Saskatchewan Summer Games, scheduled to take place in Lloydminster from July 26th – August 1st, and we remain hopeful that the health crisis will subside in time for the Games to proceed.
All official updates will be communicated to Games stakeholders via email, on
saskgames.ca, and across Saskatchewan Games social media channels.

Culture Days - Event Registration/HUB Sponsorship Delay
|
|
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Culture Days national and provincial partners have decided to temporarily postpone the launch of Culture Days event registration, previously scheduled for early May 2020. All partners are currently taking the time to plan for every possible scenario for the Culture Days 2020 weekend taking place September 25, 26 & 27, 2020.
SaskCulture has also decided to hold off opening its Culture Days Hub sponsorship application until the situation is better understood and whether the sponsorship priorities will be impacted. This will eliminate the need for applicants to have to resubmit an application should the criteria need to be reviewed. Other sponsorship options will be evaluated to determine if, and when, they might better support communities accessing new cultural programs.
