Creating Safe Spaces for Queer Youth

Sometimes, challenges can spark incredible initiatives. When Bill 137 came into place in the province, a group of Regina-based educators saw a huge impact on their students and the community at large. With resources for Queer youth quickly disappearing, they decided to start a new program to offer youth support and connection. Join us as we are joined by Brendan Dickie, one of the organizers for Kaleidoscope Youth Camp [https://www.instagram.com/kaleidoscopeyc/?hl=en], for the story behind a program that has offered a safe space for 2SLGBTQ+ youth in Regina and beyond for the past two years.  Related Links Visit: www.saskculture.ca [https://www.saskculture.ca/] Read Engage Magazine [https://www.saskculture.ca/engage] online!

Shaping the Future of Culture

If the youth are to become the future faces of the arts and cultural sectors, how are people preparing for this today?  In this episode, we’re joined by Shawn Bauche from the Creative Kids Saskatchewan [https://creativekidssask.ca] charity and Skip Taylor from the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils [https://www.osac.ca]’ Spark program [https://www.osac.ca/spark]. Their work supports youth in different ways: helping families financially to afford arts and culture classes for their children and creating leadership opportunities for young cultural organizers.  Related Links Visit: www.saskculture.ca [https://www.saskculture.ca/] Read Engage Magazine [https://www.saskculture.ca/engage] online!

Navigating Change

How can a cultural organization find stability while riding the waves of change? In this episode, SaskCulture’s staff members Damon Badger-Heit and Tara-Leigh Heslip are joined by guest Ronda Rosenberg, the executive director of the Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan [https://mcos.ca/about/] to discuss how MCoS has evolved over the years and where the focus is shifting to today, in an always evolving landscape in Saskatchewan.

Keeping Heritage Alive in a Digital World

Stories are how we connect with each other. The Saskatchewan History & Folklore Society [http://www.skhistory.ca] understands this well, using communications, especially social media, to share heritage stories in ways that feel alive, relevant, and connected to everyday life. In this episode, SaskCulture's Busayo Osobade (communications manager) and Ana Cristina Camacho (communications coordinator) are joined by Kristin Enns-Kavanagh, SHFS executive director, and Board president Jessica Dewitt to discuss the successes and challenges of marketing in the non-profit space.

Creative Kids┃The Start of the Story w/ Rose Gilks and David Millar

Today, we’re starting a new series sharing stories from the Creative Kids Saskatchewan charity. Creative Kids came to be when Dr. David Millar, a Regina-based chiropractor and engaged community volunteer, brought up the idea to his friend Rose Gilks, the then-CEO of SaskCulture. Fifteen years later, we're sitting down with Dave and Rose to ask: what happened in 2010 that started this story?
