SUMA is satisfied overall with the Government of Canada’s 2026-27 Budget. The Federal Government’s priorities for the next fiscal year align with much of our advocacy work, showing promise for continued growth and investment in Saskatchewan’s urban municipalities.

We are encouraged by the Federal Government’s recognition of the value of recreational infrastructure for local communities. Saskatchewan’s urban municipalities—towns, villages, resort villages, cities, and northern municipalities—are responsible for building and operating these facilities, which improve quality of life for residents and those in surrounding areas.
