Imagine living in a province where your community thrives thanks to smart investments and transparent governance. Well, that's exactly what's happening in Saskatchewan! The Crown Investments Corporation recently released its 2024-25 Payee Disclosure Report, and the results are nothing short of inspiring.
Here’s the exciting part: in just one year, from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, the Crown sector made some impressive strides. They contributed a whopping $240 million in dividends to the province’s General Revenue Fund. Think about what that means! Better health care, enhanced education, and vital social services are all backed by this funding, ensuring Saskatchewan stays strong.
But that's not all! The sector also procured nearly $1.5 billion in goods and services from local suppliers. This includes a remarkable $126 million spent with Indigenous companies. This commitment supports not just local businesses but builds an economy that embraces diversity and fosters opportunity.
And get this: they've invested a record $2.2 billion to ensure reliability and safety in services. These investments don’t just boost the economy; they create a solid foundation for a safe and secure future for all of Saskatchewan!
Feeling inspired? You should be! The Crown corporations are providing quality jobs, paying over $1.3 billion to more than 11,000 employees in the province. Their commitment to community doesn’t stop there. With over $31 million given to grants and donations, they’re supporting post-secondary students and essential services like the STARS air ambulance.
So, what does all this mean for you? As someone considering relocation or investment in Saskatchewan, it’s clear that the foundations are solid. The future is indeed bright!
