2016 Creative Kids Progress Report

Shine. Grow. Belong.

2016 Progress Report

WHAT WE DO

Creative Kids connects children and youth to a wide range of artistic and cultural activities, giving them an opportunity to try a creative activity that interests them – such as dance, music, theatre, art and/or languages, or carry on in a creative pursuit.

Families with financial barriers to these activities can apply to Creative Kids. If an application is successful, Creative Kids covers part, or all of the costs associated with the activity.

OUR VISION

All Saskatchewan children and youth have opportunities to realize their potential through access to unique, life-changing artistic and cultural experiences.

WE BELIEVE

Creative activities are fundamental to the positive growth and development of children and youth.

Cultural programming is critical to a healthy vibrant community. All children and youth should have the opportunity to participate in creative activities regardless of economic barriers they may face.

Dear Creative Kids,

Brittney and Austin have been dancing for 4 years and love it!!!

With the funding we received from Creative Kids, they are able to continue doing something that they love! We live in a small community and are so very happy to have something for the kids to do.

So thank you to everyone who supports this amazing program so kids can continue to do the things they love!

- Rita, Creative Kids Parent

A Message from the Chair of the Provincial Advisory Committee

With success comes challenges as the need for funds continues to grow.

Creative Kids has provided Saskatchewan residents with the unique experience of providing thousands of children across the province the opportunity to experience the magic of arts and cultural participation. Over a short six year period, Creative Kids has evolved from our very humble beginnings, to now supporting over 5,600 kids in 206 communities across Saskatchewan.

Our road to success has been made possible due to the generosity of everyone who shares our vision:

individuals like yourself, and our corporate partners, such as PotashCorp, who provided several years of foundational funding.

There are so many people who have helped shape this exciting program to where it is today: individuals who generously gave to our annual Holiday Campaign; organizations such as the India Canada Association who donated the proceeds of their annual fundraising dinner; and the young dancers of Dance Images by BJ who organized and carried out an annual dance-a-thon for the past four years.

With success comes challenges as the need for funds continues to grow.

We now have several hundred kids per year who have undertaken and want to continue with their new and exciting activities, as well as other kids who want to experience, for the first time, the special moments “that take their breath away�, which only come from participating in arts and cultural activities. Increased need requires increased financial

resources. As we continue building on past successes, we want to thank all of you who have attended our fundraisers -- we look forward to seeing you again over the next year.

We are also grateful to everyone who has made Creative Kids their charity of choice for donations recognizing personal milestones, memories and achievements. Please keep it up!

We could not carry on the work of Creative Kids without the generous support of SaskCulture, Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Culture, Sport and Recreation, and all of you! Our success is also due to our hard working staff and our many volunteers across the province. All of you are invaluable to this very worthy program, and we thank you for your continued support!

Dr. David Millar, S.O.M. Chair, Provincial Advisory Committee

Creative Kids launched in 2010, thanks to the hard work and insight of the Provincial Advisory Committee (PAC). Thank-you to Dr. David Millar, Jan Seibel, Peter Sametz, Reggie Newkirk, James Ingold, Rose Gilks and Michael Jones for your dedication and influence of the direction of the program.

OUR IMPACT

Northern Program Fund Continues to Make a Difference Cameco has provided $90,000 over three years to Creative Kids for the Cameco Creative Kids Northern Cultural Fund. In its second year, this grant is helping Dillon preserve Dene culture.

on the land and fish. If they know those skills, they can be prepared for their future and hunt food for their families.”

She adds that during their time at camp, students overcame several challenges, including a “white out” snow storm with zero visibility, where temperatures dipped below 40°C. “The students were advised to stay indoors and it was a teaching moment from the Elders,” Chanalquay explains. “They learned that whenever a snow storm happens, they must seek shelter and remain there. The time was well spent and everyone enjoyed their activities.

Most said they wanted to stay another two nights.”

As the saying goes, so much of the future lies in preserving the past, and recently a group of students came together to preserve the future of Dene culture in Saskatchewan.

Thirty students from Buffalo River School in the community of Dillon recently took part in an historic Dene cultural camp. The students, who ranged from grades four to nine, travelled 150 kilometres to a cabin at Vermette Lake for the three-day event.

“They experienced first-hand what it’s like to stay in the bush,” says Laurette Chanalquay, Principal, Buffalo River School. “Not everyone gets the chance to go out on the land.”

The camp, which took place from January 10-13, 2017, was made possible

by Cameco Creative Kids Northern Cultural Fund, and was also supported by the Buffalo River Band.

According to Chanalquay, a group of six Elders (three male and three

Other activities included listening to Elders stories and participating in a sharing circle.

“The idea of culture camp is important,” says Chanalquay. “The youth learn traditional practices and can use their skills whenever they decide to go out

The school will continue to facilitate cultural camps in the near future. “We want to make sure all students get a chance to experience Dene culture and the great outdoors during the four seasons. It was a great trip—everyone was very thankful and felt good about it,” says Chanalquay.

Jonathan Huntington, Director, Corporate Relations, Cameco, adds, “We are proud to support this grant because it gives kids a chance to let their creativity shine and, in the case of students from Buffalo River School, it helps provide them with important cultural experiences.”

Nourish, a unique dining experience in support of Creative Kids Regina, was an incredible evening. On May 26th, 140 guests were treated to an evening filled with fabulous friends, fantastic food and fun entertainment.

Guests were first treated to a reception at the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel and Conference Centre in Regina, where they were entertained by Mookie and sample delicious hors d’oeuvres before being whisked away to a one of Regina’s best ‘surprise’ restaurant. The event raised $19,060 -- all of it going towards helping us make dreams come true for 38 Regina-area children!

The 2016 India Canada Supper Night treated guests to Bollywood magic and amazing Indian cuisine. Held on September 24, 2016, in Regina, this event raised $68,300 through ticket sales and a silent/live auction for Creative Kids. As a result, over 135 Saskatchewan children will have the opportunity to participate in life-changing artistic and cultural activities.

A Message from SaskCulture As a kid growing up in Regina, I was fortunate to be able to take art and dance lessons with different community groups. Although there were hits and misses, I learned countless skills and values from these experiences. Besides learning how to step carefully around swords (it’s harder than you think!) in Highland dancing performances, I learned discipline, teamwork and self-confidence. I believe, as Kurt Vonnegut wrote, “To practice any art, no matter how well or how badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So, do it!”

As Kurt Vonnegut wrote, “To practice any art, no matter how well or how badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it!”

Every child in our province regardless of economic or social situation should have the same opportunity to “do it”: to go do the creative activities of their choice. Creative Kids is helping make this happen for many children and youth. Over the last six years, Creative Kids has raised over $2.5 million and helped close to 6,000 kids from every corner of the province participate in creative and cultural activities – everything from dance, music, painting, filmmaking, languages and others.

This past year, Creative Kids officially became its own registered charity.

Since 2010, it had been part of the Give Kids a Chance Inc. charity, run by our partners Sask Sport. The popularity of the Creative Kids program required it to set up its own charity to more effectively handle donor management, as well as open up new fundraising opportunities. Over the past seven years, Creative Kids has continued to fill a need and seen an ever-increasing amount of applications and funding requests. The gap between funds raised and eligible applications continues to grow!

Unfortunately, there are many eligible applications from children that do not get their activity funded. Your generous support is needed!

As a volunteer and supporter, my thanks go out to all the individuals and corporations who donate or attend Creative Kids fundraising events. Your continued support is crucial to helping Saskatchewan children and youth access creative opportunities…and ultimately, live their dreams! Thank you!

Joanne McDonald President, SaskCulture

Since 2010, SaskCulture has worked to support the launch and ongoing development of the Creative Kids program.

Not only do kids benefit as a result of Creative Kids – more than $2.5 million go back into the cultural community to Saskatchewan cultural workers and instructors through their work with Creative Kids applicants. Creative Kids is one part of SaskCulture’s vision of creating a culturally vibrant Saskatchewan.
