Saskatchewan has always been a province of abundance and opportunity. The economy depends on Saskatchewan's combination of natural resources and strong human capital.

Saskatchewan’s economy has fared better than most through this health crisis, with continued high levels of employment, and growth in housing starts, wholesale trade and international exports.

The Government of Saskatchewan is committed to a health system that puts patients first by providing Better Health, Better Care, Better Value, and Better Teams for Saskatchewan people.
