As the safe keeper of important historical documents, such as land grants and titles, geographic maps and phtos and survey information, ISC proudly supports organizations and initiatives that preserve and promote Saskatchewan history.
One of the ways ISC celebrates Saskatchewan's rich cultural heritage is through the ISC Century Family Farm Award program. By sponsoring and managing this annual program, we celebrate the traditions and heritage that have shaped our province, and formally recognize an average 500 farming families across the province each June.
**The deadline to apply for the 2012 program is March 15.**
Eligibility
- Members of the same family have farmed or ranched on the land continuously for 100 years or more.
- The applicant must live in Saskatchewan and own the farm or ranch.
- The applicant and/or quarter section has never been recognized with a Century Family Farm Award previously.
How and when to apply
- You may apply online or by mail.
- The deadline to submit an application is March 15.
- You do not need to attach historical documentation with your application. ISC, in partnership with the Saskatchewan Archives Board, will do all research on your behalf, free of charge. We will determine date of homestead entry and the date the land was officially granted to your ancestor – the earliest date will determine when your family farm is eligible to receive the award.
- ISC will contact you by mail or email to let you know when you qualify for the award.
