“I guess it hit me during the centennial fireworks this summer. I literally had tears in my eyes as I listened to the narration talking about this great province. I lived in Alberta for most of my life, but I now consider myself a proud Saskatchewanian. The opportunities here are as boundless as the open sky.”

Who is an Ambassador?


Ambassadors are volunteers who share a common goal: to promote Saskatchewan as a great place to live, work and do business.

  • Volunteer involvement strengthens communities. It promotes change and development by identifying and responding to community needs.
