The Town of Rosetown hereby declares November 17-25 is Saskatchewan Multicultural Week, in support of the Multicultural Society of Saskatchewan.
This week, Rosetown celebrates being a welcoming and inclusive community alongside many other municipalities across the province.
Multicultural Superhero
This year’s theme asks “Who’s your Multicultural Superhero?” We all benefit when our communities welcome people from many cultures, and Rosetown is proud of our diversity and inclusiveness.
The campaign asks communities to share stories of their “Multicultural Superheroes.” These are people or groups of people who:
- demonstrate respect and inclusion;
- protect and celebrate culture;
- embrace and share traditions;
- build bridges for intercultural connections;
- and have a vision for quality and equity for all.
This week we’ll be sharing stories of Multicultural Superheroes in Rosetown on Facebook and Twitter. We invite you to share your stories using #multiculturalsuperhero.

About the Multiculturalism Act of Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan was the first province to enact multiculturalism legislation in 1974, recognizing the right of every community to retain its identity, language, and traditional arts and sciences for the mutual benefit of citizens. In 1997, the Act was revised and a section of the Act states that the policy should preserve, strengthen and promote Aboriginal cultures and acknowledge their historic and current contribution to development of Saskatchewan.
