Community life in Saskatchewan

Community life
In Saskatchewan you can practice your faith, keep connections to your homeland and participate in cultural and recreational programs in your town or city. 
Faith and religion
People of many faiths and religious beliefs, including Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Baha'is, Christians and others, live in Saskatchewan.  Newcomers have given the province its unique cultural and religious features, and new places of worship are being added as more immigrants arrive. The right to freedom of worship is one of our guaranteed freedoms.  This means that no one has the right to discriminate against you or your family because of your religious beliefs.
Cultural Opportunity

Saskatchewan communities offer lots of cultural activities from winter festivals to symphony concerts, film nights and historical celebrations.  The options may vary depending on where you live, but Saskatchewan has a network of museums and art galleries all across the province.
Sports and Leisure Programs
Saskatchewan offers a variety of sports and leisure activities. City neighborhoods are organized into Community Associations that offer low-cost exercise, sports and special-interest programs for adults and children. While schools offer physical education, there are many programs in which you can register your children, including private music lessons, hockey and other sports, gymnastics and swimming. 

Outdoors Recreation
Saskatchewan offers year-round outdoor recreation.  Its many beautiful lakes and rivers are perfect for canoeing, boating, swimming and ice-fishing. In the winter, there are hills and slopes for skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing.  Provincial parks in many areas allow camping and picnics.  Many communities have parks, play areas and outdoor wading pools for children. Hunting and fishing are popular outdoor sports, but you must hunt only in certain seasons and follow specific laws that regulate each activity.
