Our Organization

 

The Ness Creek Cultural and Recreational Society, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization that exists primarily to create an annual Festival to celebrate Music, Art, Community and Ecology in the boreal forest. To meet our mission we support and encourage Canadian arts; we provide an audience for upcoming Saskatchewan artists by maintaining a minimum ratio of 50% Saskatchewan talent; we support our youth; we promote our Festival, our organization and its goals; we support community development; we support cross-cultural awareness and growth and we support the Saskatchewan North.

For a more in-depth picture, feel free to contact us at admin@nesscreek.com for minutes from our board meetings or a copy of our Annual Report to get an idea of what we’re up to each year.
