Heritage Resources Branch of Saskatchewan's Ministry of Tourism Parks Culture and Sport (TPCS)

The Heritage Resources Branch of Saskatchewan's Ministry of Tourism Parks Culture and Sport recognizes that the spirit and character of a province is largely defined by its unique history and heritage. Accordingly, its mission is to facilitate the protection and conservation of heritage resources in Saskatchewan, and to foster a culture of heritage stewardship that will help build sustainable communities. This mandate is accomplished principally through inventory, regulatory, research, and consultative programs and services.

It is also responsible for managing Saskatchewan's heritage resources and for administering various protection provisions under The Heritage Property Act . These protection provisions include heritage resource impact assessment regulations, investigation permitting, easements and covenants, and Provincial and Municipal Heritage Property designation.

Visit the Heritage Resources Branch for more information on the programs they administer.

Visit the Branch's historical research papers and publications for a detailed listing of the documents they have produced.

 

Historic Places in Saskatchewan Municipalities: Summary of Results

Every Saskatchewan community has places that connect people to their past. These historic places are important for their association with past people and events, for their aesthetic qualities, or for their cultural and spiritual meaning. They evoke pride, nostalgia, and a sense of identity. They are also important in the growth and development of the community.

Local governments play a key role in the protection and promotion of these historic places. To learn more about the heritage activities that Saskatchewan's municipalities are involved in, and to understand the challenges they face, the Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport sent a questionnaire to all municipal offices in the province. The data collected from the study has been compiled in a report: Historic Places in Saskatchewan Municipalities: Summary of Results is now available for you to view.
