Provincial investments are vital to improving the quality of life in Saskatchewan’s cities, towns, villages, resort villages, and northern municipalities. With the release of the 2025-26 provincial budget, SUMA supports the province’s effort to improve the lives of Saskatchewan’s residents, particularly through increased funding for public safety, infrastructure and health services. However, we would like to see additional investments around solving the mental health and addictions crisis being experienced throughout the province.
With many members in Saskatchewan’s north, SUMA is aware of the unique challenges faced by municipalities in this area, particularly around transportation. As such, we are very pleased to see an investment of $122.3 million to build, operate, and maintain roads and airports in northern Saskatchewan. The preservation and maintenance of northern roads to support the province’s forestry industry will also help support economic development in Saskatchewan’s northern communities.
