Municipalities are where Saskatchewan people live and work. The decisions and actions of local governments affect residents’ everyday lives, how their communities look and function, which services are provided, and how tax revenue pays for services and infrastructure.
The Municipalities Act, The Cities Act and The Northern Municipalities Act, 2010 provide the basic legislative framework for all of the province's municipalities. This legislation provides powers and authority for council decisions, policies and bylaws, and outlines the responsibilities of municipalities.
In late 2024, the Ministry of Government Relations conducted 13 online public surveys to solicit feedback on how this legislation could be improved and changed to meet the evolving needs of municipalities.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback for your interest and participation. A report on the results of the survey is available through the link below.
