Regina, SK – Heritage Saskatchewan is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2023 Heritage Awards. The award presentations will take place November 8th at Government House in Regina. His Honour, the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan the Honourable Russell Mirasty, will present the awards.
The Heritage Awards event is a time to celebrate the remarkable work undertaken throughout the province. The projects being recognised represent a small sample of the rich diversity of heritage, both tangible and intangible, found right here
