Through sport, culture and recreation initiatives, we:
• Support strong community leaders through resources and volunteerism;
• Empower people to make healthy lifestyle choices, and
• Help grow community pride.
Through our district network, we use the community development approach in working with communities and groups to assist in meeting their needs.

We are members of our three global partners supporting sport, culture and recreation in our province:
• Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association Inc.
• Sask Sport Inc.
• SaskCulture Inc.

Parkland Valley is one of the 12,000 organizations and groups that receive funding from Saskatchewan Lotteries.

Our History
In September, 2007, the Qu’Appelle Valley Recreation Association Inc., Zone 4 Sports Council Inc. and the Parkland Recreation Inc. amalgamated to form Parkland Valley Sport, Culture and Recreation District Inc. This amalgamation came about as the result of our global organizations (Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association, Sask Sport Inc. and SaskCulture) completing a review of the sport, culture and recreation delivery system in the province.

Our Vision
Encourage community participation and volunteerism in sport, culture and recreation to support quality of life for residents.

Our Mission
To foster sport, culture and recreation opportunities with our communities and groups.
