Happy New Year, Saskatchewan.

Your Saskatchewan Party government extends its best wishes and hopes everyone enjoyed the holiday season with family and friends. The end of one year and the beginning of another is a good time to reflect on what matters most. Over the past year, our government has advanced initiatives that reflect our priorities and lay the foundation for continued progress in the year ahead.

Affordability remains a key focus for our government as we begin 2026. A family of four in Saskatchewan will pay no provincial income tax on their first $65,000 of income, the highest tax-free threshold in Canada. This results from the second step of our four-year income tax reduction plan, combined with indexation. Our government is also increasing personal, spousal and child tax exemptions, along with the seniors’ supplement by $500 annually over four years.

In addition, several tax credits are increasing to help residents with affordability. These include the Low-Income Tax Credit, Disability Tax Credit, Caregiver Tax Credit, Personal Care Home Benefit, Active Families Benefit, First-Time Homebuyers’ Tax Credit, and the Graduate Retention Program. We remain committed to ensuring Saskatchewan continues to be the most affordable place to live in the country.

Our government continues to make targeted investments to support Saskatchewan students and families. We are investing $28.5 million in the Relocatable Classroom Program to provide 39 new classrooms and relocate two existing ones. These classrooms will be installed over the summer in communities across the province and will be ready for students in the 2026-27 school year. This program helps address space pressures by adding classrooms where they are needed most, supports growing enrolment and provides school divisions with flexibility to manage local needs.

At the same time, Saskatchewan’s School Playground Equipment Grant Program, launched in fall 2025, has seen strong uptake. More than 40 projects have already been approved, with funding of up to $50,000 available per project. This initiative is helping communities build and improve playgrounds where children can play, learn and grow. The program reflects our government’s ongoing commitment to building healthy, vibrant communities for families. The current application period runs until February 25, 2026, on a first-come, first-served basis. Full program guidelines are available on the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association website.

These measures reflect a government focused on delivering results for Saskatchewan people. As the new year gets underway, our government remains committed to the work ahead and looks forward to sharing more initiatives and progress as 2026 unfolds.
