Three years of financial statements for every Saskatchewan municipality are now available on saskatchewan.ca.
“Municipalities are the level of government closest to Saskatchewan residents, and we want to help them deliver the best experience,” Minister of Government Relations Eric Schmalz said. “This online resource supports municipal transparency and ensures that information is accessible for all Saskatchewan residents.”
The ministry’s decision to post municipal financial statements precedes upcoming amendments to the Municipal Modernization and Red Tape Reduction Act, which will require all municipalities to independently post their financial statements online by September 1, 2027.
“Municipal governments function best when there’s a high level of trust between elected officials, administration, and the public, and financial transparency is part of that,” Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association President Randy Goulden said. “While many urban municipalities already post documents on their own websites, this initiative will ensure all municipal governments can provide access to audited financial statements to their residents.”
