Local partners, along with the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC), Museums Association of Saskatchewan (MAS), East Central Newcomer Welcome Centre (ECNWC), and Parkland Valley Sport, Culture and Recreation District (PVSCRD) have partnered together to pilot a Cultural Open House in our community.

The Cultural Open House is an opportunity for non-profit, cultural organizations in our community to promote programs, events, and engage new volunteers. It is the partnership’s hope that, through your organization’s participation in this event, it will create awareness of your organization and also help you to engage possible volunteers!

Our ask to local organizations is to join us to create awareness and share opportunities that exist within your organization. With access to your own table, you will be able to engage in conversation with people who attend this come and go event. We are inviting community members, newcomers to the area, and people in the surrounding area to see what is going “on” in their own community.

The partnership has created a Call for Volunteers Template for participating organizations to complete and have available to hand out to interested individuals. Please see attached. We ask that you complete this template with your relevant information and bring copies with you.

The partnership wants to make this as barrier free as possible for organizations. If you require assistance in filling out the Call for Volunteers Template, or if your organization requires any printouts, please get in touch with us and forward along your information and template before the event and we would be happy to provide copies for you.
