Summary

The Heritage Recognition (From Many Peoples, Strength) Act authorizes the Lieutenant Governor in Council to designate heritage days, weeks, and months by regulation. These designations recur annually unless repealed, and the bill does not apply to days, weeks, or months already recognized under other Saskatchewan laws.

This law creates a process for the Saskatchewan government to officially recognize heritage days, weeks, and months through regulation. The Lieutenant Governor in Council (the cabinet) can designate these observances and set the rules for when they occur each year. Once designated, they repeat annually until cancelled by regulation. The bill does not specify which heritage observances will be designated or establish any new observances on its own. It also states that it does not apply to any day, week, or month already recognized under other Saskatchewan legislation. The actual creation of specific heritage observances happens through regulations made after the bill becomes law, which occurs by order of the Lieutenant Governor in Council.
