SUCCESS STORY
FRENCH EDITION OF POPULAR CHILDREN'S BOOK COMING SOON

Many are unaware of the impact that African-Canadians have had within our province in the last hundred years, and the Saskatchewan African Canadian Heritage Museum's most recent project aims to bring some of this knowledge to francophone students.

TI-SHADD : L’UJIMA AU QUOTIDIEN is a fictionalized account of a real-life medical intervention taken by Dr. Alfred Shadd of Melfort, documented by the diary of Reginald Beatty.

SASK BOOK AWARDS
CONGRATULATIONS TO SASKATCHEWAN BOOK AWARD WINNERS

We'd like to congratulate all the nominees and winners, and in particular, those projects that received an investment from Creative Saskatchewan.

EQUITY INVESTMENT
DIGITAL EQUITY FUND RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED

In its inaugural year, the Creative Saskatchewan Digital Game and Gamified eLearning Equity Investment Fund supported four unique projects.

This unique program differs from other Creative Saskatchewan programs in that it is an equity program rather than a grant program. Creative Saskatchewan takes an equity position in the project, not the company.
