The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed July 14 to 20 as Saskatchewan Parks Week, featuring fun, themed activities for visitors in anticipation of Canada's Parks Day on July 20.  

"Saskatchewan Parks Week is a celebration, and a unique opportunity to experience exciting events and programs across our provincial parks," Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. "We encourage all Saskatchewan residents to join others across the country in discovering new ways to connect with nature and take time to enjoy all Saskatchewan parks have to offer." 

Check out the complete list of events and programs happening this week on the Sask Parks Event Calendar. 

Saskatchewan Parks Week is an excellent lead-up to Canada's Parks Day on July 20. The Canadian Parks Council heads this annual initiative to connect people to nature through fun, educational, family-oriented events and programs nationwide.   

Join Park Interpreters on July 20 to help celebrate and participate in guided hikes, camping-themed crafts, sunset paddling, Amazing Races, and historical tours. Explore Parks Day-themed activities on saskparks.com. 

Discovery Packs, which include everything needed to complete self-guided activities, explore nature, or play games, are available to borrow at many park visitor centres or park offices. While at the visitor centre, you can also pick up a "Summer Fun in Sask Parks" activity booklet.
