1. 125 for 125 Initiative

In 2023, the 125 for 125 Initiative was created to encourage communities to celebrate and protect Saskatchewan’s history through the designation of Municipal Heritage Property. The goal is to have 125 new designations by the time Saskatchewan celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2030.

Heritage property designation is a tangible way communities can recognize people, places and events that are significant to the history of the community. In addition to preserving these places and their stories for future generations, designation also supports and promotes economic development and community pride, a ‘sense of place’ and our well-being.
