Did you know?
Saskatchewan has one of the highest provincial child poverty rates in Canada. As of 2019 — the most recent numbers available — more than 73,500 children have limited access to essential daily needs and opportunities for positive growth and self-esteem. Many of these families also have challenges, such as job loss or disabilities that make involvement in creative activities out of reach.
​
Besides basic needs to be warm, fed and clothed, we believe it’s important to feed the spirit. For a child or youth facing financial or social barriers to feel accepted and included, the longed-for chance to make music, paint, act, or dance can be life changing.
That’s where Creative Kids come in.
Creative Kids believe:
-
Creative activities are fundamental to the positive growth and development of children and youth;
-
Cultural programming is critical to a healthy vibrant community; and
-
All children and youth should have the opportunity to participate in creative activities regardless of economic barriers they may face.
