Covid-19 Culture

Throughout the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, we documented the experiences of people throughout our province. How have culture and heritage helped interpret, cope, and look beyond the crisis? In what ways has life changed, or stayed the same? With the help of six Community Coordinators, we have collected experiences from our communities.

In partnership with the Saskatchewan History and Folklore Society, we have published, Covid-19 Culture: A Living Heritage Project of the Pandemic in Saskatchewan -- a special edition of Folklore Magazine. It features the accounts we gathered, presented by each Coordinator, as well as photographs of interviewees and beautiful images from our Photo Contest. All interviews have been donated to the Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan, where they are publicly accessible for posterity to provide a record of this historic event. The full playlist of interviews is linked below
