Teachers Inspire

In communities all across Saskatchewan, teachers inspire kids to learn, discover new talents and passions, and achieve their goals.

In February, we asked Saskatchewan people to share stories about teachers who inspire and did they ever! We received almost 50 amazing stories from every corner of Saskatchewan, and we know these stories are just a drop in the bucket in terms of teachers’ impact.

We’ve partnered with CTV to tell three of those stories, showcasing the work that teachers do in classrooms and communities every single day.

Our kids and their teachers: It’s time to invest in Saskatchewan’s schools

At a time when families are more aware than ever of the importance of teachers, it’s high time to make the case for increased investment in schools in this province.

Arena rink boards throughout rural Saskatchewan show teachers and parents together, both cheering for our kids.

Meanwhile, digital ads and billboards are making the case that it’s time to invest in classrooms.
