REPORT FROM THE LEGISLATURE
In the first month of 2026, our government marked a meaningful milestone for Saskatchewan’s largest city. In partnership with St. Paul’s Hospital (Grey Nuns) of Saskatoon and the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation, our government celebrated the grand reopening of the hospital’s front entrance and the Kikâwînaw wîki Healing Centre. The newly renovated, fully accessible front entrance offers a covered patient drop-off area, enhanced lighting and improved interior layout. Inside, expanded space includes additional washrooms, a larger gift shop and relocated Patient Registration, Visitor Information and Protective Services to improve safety, efficiency and the overall patient experience. This investment reflects our continued commitment to putting patients first and ensuring everyone in Saskatchewan has access to quality care where and when they need it.
Supporting reliable infrastructure is essential to delivering services across the province, and this includes ongoing investments in Saskatchewan’s transportation system. Since 2008, our government has invested more than $13 billion in transportation infrastructure, improving over 20,700 kilometres of highways. While major road construction typically takes place during warmer months, bridge work continues through late fall, winter and early spring to maintain safety and reliability. To date, more than $78 million in bridge projects are underway across the province, supporting Saskatchewan’s export-based economy. Motorists are reminded to remain alert in construction zones and to check the Highway Hotline (hotline.gov.sk.ca) before travelling for up-to-date road conditions and project information.
Your government continues to take action to ease affordability pressures, including increasing rental supply. One important initiative is the Saskatchewan Secondary Suite Incentive, which has been extended for another year. Since the program’s inception in 2023, nearly 1,000 new secondary suites have been added across Saskatchewan, creating more rental options in established neighbourhoods and helping families manage housing costs. The deadline to incur eligible construction costs has now been extended to March 31, 2027. Guidelines and more information are available at www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/taxes-and-investments/tax-credits.
In addition to supporting essential services and housing, we remain focused on ensuring Saskatchewan families can continue to enjoy the province’s outstanding recreational opportunities. While spring may still be a few weeks away, summer planning can officially begin. Saskatchewan Parks has announced the 2026 camping reservation dates, giving families, friends and outdoor enthusiasts something to look forward to. Seasonal campsite reservations in provincial parks will open on April 13. Nightly, Camp-Easy yurt and group campsites will have staggered launches from April 14 to 17.

We continue to make strategic investments to keep strengthening communities, supporting families and building a province where people can live, work and enjoy all that Saskatchewan has to offer.

SASKATCHEWAN SAFETY SEMINAR HELD IN SASKATOON
As Minister of Labour and Workplace Safety, it was an incredible honour to attend the 53rd annual Saskatchewan Safety Seminar in Saskatoon, a cornerstone event that’s brought safety leaders together for more than 50 years.
Saskatchewan enters 2026 strong—with one of Canada’s fastest-growing economies, a leading labour market, and thousands of new jobs—but real strength comes from protecting people. Workplace safety isn’t just about policy or compliance; it’s about leadership, prevention, and ensuring every worker gets home safe at the end of the day.
Our government is grateful to the Saskatchewan Safety Council, our partners, speakers, exhibitors, and all safety professionals whose dedication makes our province strong, safe, and secure.
SASKATCHEWAN WILL SUPPLY CRITICAL MINERALS TO DOMESTIC AND GLOBAL MARKETS
Premier Scott Moe, "This announcement reinforces Saskatchewan’s position as a leading destination for responsible resource development.
McIlvenna Bay is a high-quality project that will deliver jobs, investment, and long-term economic benefits for the province.
Bringing Eldorado on board will further strengthen the project’s development pathway and underscore Canada’s role in supplying critical minerals to both domestic and global markets."
