We Day Saskatchewan cancelled due to funding shortage
It was a gathering place for inspirational students – complete with bright lights, energetic music and celebrity appearances – now, We Day Saskatchewan is being put on hold.
Plans have changed for the large-scale event, which usually draws a sizable crowd at the 15,000-seat SaskTel Centre.
“We have faced some challenges in securing dedicated local funding for the coming year, and as a result will not be hosting WE Day Saskatchewan this upcoming 2017/2018 school year,” the organization told 650 CKOM in an email Tuesday.
“However, the WE Schools Program continues to grow and develop within the province and across the country, empowering youth to become active local, national and global change-makers.”
