They also said other cultural celebration messages may be added in the future.
The furor over the message started after a Saskatoon man complained it violated separation of state and religion.
Ashu Solo asked for the message to be removed by Dec. 22 or he would file a complaint with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission.
There is no word yet from Solo whether he will proceed with his complaint after today’s decision.
