Municipal Legislation Consultation Update

Saskatchewan Ministry of Government Relations

The Municipalities Act, The Cities Act, and The Northern Municipalities Act, 2010 form the foundational legislative framework for all municipalities in the province. These acts provide the necessary powers and authority for council decisions, policies, and bylaws, while outlining municipal responsibilities.

In the summer of 2024, the Ministry of Government Relations initiated a comprehensive review of this legislative framework, focusing on The Cities Act, The Municipalities Act, and The Northern Municipalities Act, 2010. The primary objective of this review is to identify potential amendments that could enhance municipal governance.
