Cédric Delavaud is a traditional wooden game maker and a barrel organ player from France. In 2013, after studies in Educational Sciences, he moved to Canada to work in Francophone daycares and schools. Cédric is passionate with games, woodworking, and “old stuff”. In 2018, he gathered all his passions and started building traditional games from all around the world out of wood. To this collection of old games, Cédric added, in 2019, an old instrument from France, the Barrel organ. That model of organ is the ancestor of all nowadays devices playing music. It is the first instrument making music available to everybody. Cédric is now traveling with his games and organ, sharing good times and history with people.
Welcome
Welcome to the 2027 Heritage Festival of Saskatoon, celebrating Saskatoon and area’s civic, natural, cultural, and artistic heritage, and featuring events on Feb 7th and 10th.
2027 Theme
The 2027 festival theme, “Stories of Saskatoon”, invites everyone to discover the city’s heritage through our stories. Heritage is more than just buildings, historical dates, artifacts or even traditions. It is also the experiences, memories, values, people and events that help to create our collective identity. Stories bring those things to life and connect generations. They are how our heritage is remembered, understood, preserved and passed from one generation to the next. Each new story adds to, and helps to carry our heritage into the future.
