In light of the ongoing and unpredictable nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, Heritage Saskatchewan postponed the 2020 Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan Heritage Awards originally planned for October 21.
Heritage Saskatchewan said they acted out of concern and safety for the participants travelling from all reaches of the province to gather for the awards ceremony.
Although this year鈥檚 much-anticipated event is cancelled, the organization tasked with preserving the province鈥檚 history encouraged groups and individuals to continue with their projects and share with Heritage Saskatchewan over social media.
Saskatchewan Heritage hoped the citizens of the province will hold fast to their commitment to living heritage during these uncertain times, as they believe that heritage will sustain communities. Also, the organization wanted to remind everyone that heritage is an important part of their overall well-being.
Plans to continue the annual event will resume on October 2021.
Each year, Saskatchewan Heritage has offered a five-year eligibility window for nominated projects to have been completed and/or taken place.
Heritage Saskatchewan will extend the award eligibility to six years for 2021 because of this year鈥檚 cancellation.
