Multicultural Week

In 1974, Saskatchewan became the first province to pass multiculturalism legislation, recognizing the importance of preserving diverse identities, languages, and traditions. The legislation was revised in 1997 to include a focus on preserving and promoting Aboriginal cultures.


The Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan (MCoS) was established on November 22nd, 1975. To support these values, Saskatchewan Multicultural Week, celebrated in the week of November 22nd, highlights the significance of multiculturalism and commemorates the founding of MCoS.
