At the end of last year, #TransformSK held open consultations with Battlefords and area residents to discuss issues facing Saskatchewan.
The province-wide consultation sessions, held in 14 communities and involving nearly 400 people, were a joint effort between Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce, the Saskatchewan Mining Association, Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, Agriculture Producers Association of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Construction Association.
The intention behind the sessions was to hear directly from the public the direction they'd like to see the government move in regards to their plan for "transformational change," as it was proposed during last year's budget announcement.
According to an update released by #TransformSK, the final report compiled from the consultations will be released after the provincial budget announcement in April. The recommendations in the report will include addressing the root cause of important social and economical issues, "sustainability over expedience," collaboration, diversity and transparency, diversifying the economy and indigenous engagement.
#TransformSK was organized and executed without government involvement. Their final report with its findings will be released to the public at a planned event in Saskatoon.
