Premier Brad Wall announced that he will visit the Lieutenant-Governor on October 10 to ask him to dissolve the Legislature and issue the writ of election, officially starting the campaign for the November 7 provincial election.
"I hope everyone in Saskatchewan enjoys the Thanksgiving weekend, spends some time with their family and friends, and then let's have an election campaign," Wall said.
Unlike previous provincial elections, the timing of this election comes as no surprise. Wall set the election date the day after the last election in 2007 - keeping a promise to establish set election dates and ending the governing party's chance to play games with the election call.
"As we head into the Thanksgiving weekend, we have a lot to be thankful for in Saskatchewan," Wall said. "We have a strong and growing economy, and Saskatchewan people are enjoying the benefits of that growth.
"Still, there is more work to be done. In the next few weeks, we will be talking about our government's record over the past four years and our plan to keep moving Saskatchewan forward."
