According to the province, the average annual provincial funding for the program over the past five years is more than $261 million. The province says nearly $4 billion in provincial funding will have been allocated to support municipalities across Saskatchewan through the municipal revenue sharing program since 2007-08, when the Saskatchewan Party first took office.
The province also announced that the targeted sector support initiative will again receive a $1.5 million investment from the total municipal revenue sharing program. The initiative is managed by the provincial government and municipal partners, “investing in projects that advance shared priority areas such as good governance, regional planning, and inter-community collaboration,” the province said.
