Culture Plan for Saskatoon 

The City of Saskatoon is developing a Culture Plan for Saskatoon.  This Culture Plan will help strengthen, harmonize, and raise the profile of cultural endeavours in our city.

One key outcome will be a clear vision for Saskatoon as a creative and cultural city. Another goal is increased collaboration between the City, the cultural community, residents, tourism and business.  The Culture Plan will also identify priorities for future investment in arts, culture and heritage.

The Culture Plan project is being led by the Community Development Branch with assistance from the Office for Urbanism Inc., an award winning consulting firm with widespread Canadian experience in cultural and municipal sustainability planning.  

The work has been divided into 3 phases:

Phase 1 Audit and analysis of existing cultural activities in Saskatoon;

Phase 2 Creation of a ‘Directions Document’ that outlines suggestions for stimulating and supporting cultural initiatives.  This document will include policy to guide and support future work.

Phase 3 Completion of the Culture Plan with detailed arts and heritage plans.

We are currently in Phase 1 of this project.  In early November 2009, presentations were made to representatives from 40 interest groups and organizations. (Select the Stakeholder Presentation above.) A strong connection to cultural stakeholders has begun as we assess the state of arts and culture in Saskatoon. 

Please check back here soon for further updates on the Culture Plan.
