In 2020, the Indigenous Music Alliance created the National Indigenous Music Advisory to assist in the development of a National Indigenous Music Organization (NIMO). A national engagement process was launched in 2021 to gather community input around a mandate and governance structure for a NIMO.
The community engagements revealed overwhelming support for the development of a NIMO that would allow for the advocacy, capacity building, and development of relationships needed to grow the industry for Indigenous musicians, as well as establish the foundations for Indigenous music sovereignty, and Indigenous protocols to be used in the industry. The NIMO will play a leadership role in helping to develop a collective narrative, and serve as a unified voice for national events, consultations, and policy development for Indigenous artists.

Creative Kids connects children and youth to unique, life-changing artistic and cultural experiences in their community. We provide financial support to Saskatchewan families so all kids have an opportunity to participate in creative activities like drama, art, dance, heritage, and music. To learn more about Creative Kids visit their website at: https://creativekidssask.ca/
The Creative Kids approached us with the theme of “Keeping on Growing, Keep on Participating in Creative Activities”. The asked for the visual theme of Spring and to include images of flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, along with images that represent their 5 pillars of art, music, drama, dance and cultural activities.
They wanted the style of the report to not be too childish and have a more mature and sophisticated but youthful vibe. We accomplished this by designing layered cut out graphics with a youthful colour palette.

Getting Out Booklet

Getting Out: A Process Learned from the Courage & Wisdom of Survivors, was initially spearheaded by STOPS to Violence and dedicated to those who share the experience, strength, and wisdom they gain from leaving an abusive situation and to those still living in dangerous relationships. This guide was created through a series of consultations across Saskatchewan with people who represent the diversity of our province. It is based on the experiences of people who have left violent and abusive relationships and are now living violence-free lives, and the knowledge of those who provide support and services to people dealing with abuse and violence in their lives.
This guide is offered with respect and humility to honour those who have shared their personal experience, wisdom, and courage, and those who work every day to support people in our communities to find their strength to heal and build healthy, resilient lives for themselves and their families.
The Getting Out Guide will help you identify the signs of an abusive relationship and how to leave a dangerous situation. The Safety Planner offers guidance on what to take with you, where you can go, and who you can contact for help.
