WORKING FOR YOU
This summer, I have had the opportunity to meet with many constituents in Saskatoon Willowgrove on their doorsteps and at community events. Every conversation has been meaningful, and I take the concerns shared with me seriously. I remain committed to working on their behalf as we address important issues such as health care, education, and affordability.
SASKATCHEWAN GOVERNMENT BUILDING RECOGNIZED FOR LEADERSHIP IN ACCESSIBILITY
It was a pleasure to emcee this celebration recognizing an important milestone, the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification of the Sturdy Stone Centre and the ongoing commitment to making Saskatchewan's public spaces more accessible and inclusive for everyone
The Sturdy Stone Centre in Saskatoon received Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (RHFAC) on May 15, 2026. This is following an evaluation to assess accessibility features within the facility. This is the fourth Government of Saskatchewan (GOS) executive building to have achieved RHFAC, underscoring the province's commitment to building inclusive and accessible spaces for everyone.
The Saskatchewan Legislative Building became the first legislative building in Canada to earn RHFAC certification in 2021, the L.F. McIntosh Building in Prince Albert achieved certification in 2023 and The T.C. Douglas Building in Regina in 2025.
"Sturdy Stone Centre's certification is another important milestone in our work to make government owned facilities more accessible and inclusive," SaskBuilds and Procurement Minister Sean Wilson said. "We are committed to continuously improving our buildings so that every Saskatchewan resident can access government services in a safe, welcoming and barrier-free environment."
The Ministry of SaskBuilds and Procurement is working to complete accessibility assessments on SBP owned and managed buildings.
On December 3, 2024, the Government of Saskatchewan released the province's first accessibility plan, required by The Accessible Saskatchewan Act, to improve the accessibility of government services.
"The Government of Saskatchewan is committed to implementing our Accessibility Plan 2024-27, making our province a more inclusive place for those with disabilities," Social Services Minister Terry Jenson said. "We are honoured to receive the Rick Hansen Foundation accessibility certification that recognizes the important work being done to identify and remove barriers, helping build a more accessible Saskatchewan for everyone."
