Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - PrairiesCan
Vibrant communities and unique tourism experiences bring people together and attract visitors that support the local economy. Tourism operators and communities are eager to welcome visitors back to Saskatchewan. From wide-open prairie to forests, lakes and rivers, and cultural and historical sites, Saskatchewan has plenty to offer. That is why the Government of Canada is investing in tourism projects across Saskatchewan.
Today, while visiting Wanuskewin Heritage Park, the Honourable Randy Boissonnault, Minister of Tourism and Associate Minister of Finance, on behalf of the Honourable Daniel Vandal, Minister for PrairiesCan, announced more than $3.7 million in federal support for 19 Saskatchewan tourism projects. This funding will support art galleries, museums, festivals and unique outdoor experiences that will provide visitors from across Canada and abroad, as well as locals, with many opportunities to enjoy Saskatchewan's distinct landscape and rich culture.
Whether it's helping Wanuskewin draw tourists to enjoy 6,000 years of culture and history, Meewasin Valley Authority add to its offerings surrounding the South Saskatchewan River, or the Remai Modern Gallery broaden its guest experiences, the Government of Canada is supporting these and other sites to help bring the world to Saskatchewan.
Funding for these projects is provided through PrairiesCan under the Tourism Relief Fund and will help rural and urban communities in every corner of the province enhance their tourism and recreation opportunities.
