Windup Summit Overview
As the five-year (2019-2024) federally funded project came to an end August 31, 2024, the DSRS Backbone Management Group and Collaborating Organizations facilitated a Windup Summit on the initiative’s progress, a brief discussion of evaluation findings, and a discussion on the plans for sustainability. It took place on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at the Gallagher Centre in Yorkton, SK, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
A total of 36 individuals from the Advisory Committee, Collaborating Organizations, artists, community members, people with lived experience, the Mayor of Yorkton, the City of Yorkton, Yorkton Public Library, Yorkton & District Nursing Home, and several employees from the Saskatchewan Health Authority attended the summit. The summit was recorded for educational and promotional purposes.
