NOTE

The Creative Industry Growth and Sustainability program is a partnership between the Saskatchewan Arts Board and the Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport (the Ministry). The agreement governing this program requires that it be evaluated. The Arts Board and the Ministry have recently agreed that the Ministry will lead the evaluation process and will contract an external consultant for this purpose. The Arts Board will be represented on the project committees that will oversee the evaluation. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess how well the objectives of the program were met as outlined in the agreement and to advise on the future delivery of the program. Probe Research (Chris Adams, 204-926-6569) is conducting the evaluation, which will be complete by March 31, 2012. Should you wish to discuss the evaluation and how you can be involved, please contact the consultant directly.
