Call for Nominations: 
Children's Festival of Saskatchewan Board of Directors

The Children's Festival Board of Directors is pleased to call for nominations or applications to the Board of Directors, with voting and volunteer terms beginning at our AGM in January 2026.

About the Board of Directors Position

The Director position is a volunteer role on the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, on behalf of all residents of Saskatchewan and visitors to our province, provides leadership, strategic direction, policy development, and oversight using a policy governance model.

Becoming a Director for the Children’s Festival of Saskatchewan allows you to become a part of a vibrant, creative organization, make a meaningful impact on the lives of children, and is a rewarding volunteer opportunity with important legal and fiduciary duties that does require a commitment of time, skill, and resources.

While it is a volunteer position and is not financially compensated, there are unique benefits within the organization by being involved as a Board Member and we hope you’ll find the experience rewarding and beneficial.
