Construction is ongoing across Saskatchewan communities as part of the government's investment of more than an all-time high $4.4 billion in capital projects to support classrooms, care and communities and meet the growing needs of Saskatchewan families and their communities. This includes nearly $1.9 billion in capital projects across executive government and approximately $2.6 billion in capital projects by the province's commercial Crown corporations. The 2024-25 Budget includes the largest investment ever in health capital of more than $516.8 million, $216.0 million in school infrastructure, $59.0 million in Saskatchewan's post-secondary infrastructure, and $301.9 million in government services infrastructure.
"This year's record investment in infrastructure to drive vital capital projects across the province underscores our dedication to ensuring tangible growth," SaskBuilds and Procurement Minister Joe Hargrave said. "These investments will create job opportunities, stimulate economic activity, and improve connectivity, ensuring that Saskatchewan remains a desirable place to live, work and raise a family. Together, we are building a legacy of sustainable development and infrastructure excellence that will positively impact our communities for years to come."
