FindtheFun Campaign – Get the word out
Get your events on the Sask Events Calendar to get highlighted as part of the #FindtheFunSK campaign. This summer, the partnership of SK Arts, Creative Saskatchewan, SaskCulture and the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport launched the #FindtheFunSK campaign in order to encourage people to get out and enjoy arts, heritage and culture in their communities. The promotion of #FindTheFunSK on Facebook, Instagram, Google and TikTok connects to the Saskatchewan events calendar and the Tourism Saskatchewan events guide. Be sure to share the posts and links for #FindtheFunSK in your networks as part of a collective effort to help encourage participants and audiences to get to the back to the arts and cultural activities they enjoy.
