New Main Street Film Released
New Film Released: Regeneration on Main Street
Ottawa, ON, February 26, 2014 -- Heritage Canada The National Trust (HCNT) is pleased to announce the release of its new film, Regeneration on Main Street, which highlights the accomplishments of four Saskatchewan communities participating in the province’s Main Street Saskatchewan Demonstration Program.
The film, directed by Saskatchewan film-maker Jack Walton, illustrates how the towns of Indian Head, Maple Creek and Wolseley and the City of Prince Albert are successfully implementing a dynamic and energizing program that leverages local heritage and cultural assets to generate economic, social and cultural activity and improved quality of life.
“Regeneration on Main Street showcases our proven Main Street approach,” said Natalie Bull, HCNT executive director. “But the real stars are the townspeople – from school children to newcomers to long-time residents – whose grass roots energy and volunteer efforts are transforming their communities.”
Over the years, HCNT’s Main Street® program has benefited hundreds of Canadian communities, and generated longstanding active programs in Alberta and Quebec. Since 2009, HCNT has been working with the Government of Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport to bring the Main Street® approach to that province.
Regeneration on Main Street had its Canadian premiere in Saskatoon at the Heritage Saskatchewan Forum 2014. The film was made possible by support from the Government of Saskatchewan, SaskCulture, Main Street Wolseley and Main Street Indian Head.
