We wish to express our profound gratitude and heartfelt thanks to both Ryan Reiss of Vibank and Ryan Dale of Weyburn for their service on the board of directors of the South East District.

Ryan R has the ability to ask those critical questions and always see the big picture. He also volunteered as a mission staff member for the 2023 Saskatchewan Winter Games for Team South East.

Ryan D is a passionate leader and served as a huge advocate for the district, promoting our services wherever possible and, most recently, acting as a financial signor for the organization.

Both of these individuals are leaving the province and are starting new adventures elsewhere! Best wishes and keep in touch!

We are recognizing our Executive Director, Joni Hagen, for 14 years of service to the district. Joni works out of Weyburn and is responsible for leading the organization in fulfilling its mission to serve south east communities.

Cheers to 14 years of dedication, passion, and invaluable contributions! Thank you Joni for everything you do!

We are excited to launch this new year of 2024 a series of free online modules for sport, culture and recreation board and committee volunteers! Choose to complete all modules or just those of interest to you!

The Weyburn Arts Council's commitment to community engagement has taken a refreshing turn by embracing the outdoors in its programming initiatives. The initiatives feature local artists turning public spaces into dynamic canvases that celebrate local talent. The Weyburn Arts Council has successfully transformed the outdoor landscape into an inclusive gallery. By involving both local artists and community members in these initiatives, the council has not only showcased artistic talent within Weyburn but has also fostered a strong sense of connection.
