Board of Directors Appointed to the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency

Released on March 1, 2019

Today Government Relations Minister Warren Kaeding announced the appointment of three new members to the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency’s (SPSA) Board of Directors.

“These appointments are necessary as the Government of Saskatchewan continues to enhance and expand the SPSA’s mandate,” Kaeding said.  “The additional responsibilities the agency has been tasked with requires a new governance model, which includes a larger board and the need for a full-time president.”

The people appointed by Order-in-Council to serve on the SPSA Board of Directors are: One of the first priorities for the new board will be to undertake a search for a new Agency President.

Established as a Treasury Board Crown in 2017, the SPSA’s responsibilities are being expanded to include the Wildfire Management Branch from the Ministry of Environment and the emergency management and fire safety responsibilities from the Ministry of Government Relations.

This integration with SPSA will improve service delivery to better support communities in an emergency.  Co-ordinating these provincial public safety services under one organization will allow for greater internal co-operation, resulting in a more streamlined provincial emergency response.

Transition to the SPSA, which will begin in 2019, will not impact provincial emergency services for the upcoming spring flood or wildfire seasons.
