Our Board & Executive

The Saskatchewan Regional Parks Association office is located on Treaty 6 Territory – homeland of the Cree and Métis Nations, and traditional territories of the Dene, Saulteaux, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota. Regional Parks in Saskatchewan are located on Treaty 2, Treaty 4, Treaty 5, and Treaty 7 lands. We acknowledge the many First Nations and Métis of past and present who have lived on and cared for these lands for generations. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
