The contest brings a discussion of historic places and the importance of heritage conservation into the classroom and provides an opportunity for students to learn about their heritage through research and artistic expression.

The Heritage Poster Contest for Saskatchewan Students is sponsored by the Heritage Resources Branch of the Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport with assistance from the Ministry of Education and the Francophone Affairs Branch of the Office of the Provincial Secretary. The Government of Canada provided support through the Historic Places Initiative.
