The Saskatchewan cultural and historical mosaic is reflected in homes, workplaces, schools, universities and religious buildings.
Produced in cooperation with The Saskatchewan Architectural Heritage Society (SAHS), Building Our Future is an historical account that researches not just monuments, but also the history of individuals to provide a unique glimpse into the tightly-woven fabric of prairie society, not just the bricks and mortar of the buildings. It accurately reflects Saskatchewan's unique growth over 100 years in confederation, providing snapshots of history in rural and urban environments, in business, faith and farming. Building Our Future is the perfect 100th anniversary present for the province of Saskatchewan.
The SAHS, a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to promotion, protection and preservation of Saskatchewan's built heritage. The five affiliated societies in North Battleford, Moose Jaw, Regina, Saskatoon and Yorkton assisted with the technical research on the buildings nominated by individuals and communities.
