Moose Jaw Film Festival Showcases Saskatchewan Talent

Megan Patterson: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Last Saturday night I was honoured to bring greetings on behalf of our government at the first annual Moose Jaw Film Festival. The Mae Wilson Theatre was filled with incredible talent from across our province. There were over 100 submissions across 20 different categories, truly showcasing the depth of creativity and skill we have in Saskatchewan.

Mr. Speaker, film productions create jobs and attract spending to our communities. They hire local crews, book hotel rooms, buy local supplies, and help build the skilled workforce that we need.

I would like to thank Creative Saskatchewan, the official film commission in our province. Their advocacy, mentorship, funding, and expertise keeps this sector at the forefront. It also fosters the culture of talent and creativity we have in the province.

I also want to thank the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who was a part of this incredible evening. I’m already looking forward to the second annual Moose Jaw Film Festival, and I hope to see you there. Thank you.
