Emergency Treatment Fund
Call for Proposals
Canada is facing a public health crisis that has left no community untouched. This crisis has been driven by a complex set of factors, including a dangerous, illegal synthetic drug supply. The tragic impacts are seen and felt among our friends, our families, and our neighbours.
That is why the Government of Canada is focused on saving lives and connecting people to evidence-based services, including treatment and recovery, as well as other supports like housing.
| |
|
Building on historic healthcare investments, including in mental health and substance use, Budget 2024 provided $150 million over 3 years for an Emergency Treatment Fund (ETF) for municipalities and Indigenous communities to help provide rapid responses to emergent, critical needs related to the substance use and overdose crisis.
Through this 2024 national call for proposals, Health Canada's ETF will provide time-limited contribution funding to municipalities and Indigenous communities across Canada.
The application window will close on November 8, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. EST.

Respect in the Workplace Training
Since 2019, SARM has been fortunate to offer the Respect in the Workplace Training at half the cost due to SARM’s partnership with the Respect Group. This program is designed to empower your team with the skills to prevent bullying, abuse, harassment, and discrimination. Our goal is to have our members, both council and staff, certify themselves through the training. The program takes approximately 90 minutes and is done online in one sitting, but we recommend you break it up. You can come and go from the modules. The focus of the training is on culture change but of equal importance is the legal risk and liability avoidance it affords.
The certification costs $20.00 per person. Councils and staff simply register for the training. SARM will invoice the members on a quarterly basis based on your activity. It’s as simple as that.
Linked below are the registration and access for Respect in the Workplace. You will also see the “Respect in the Workplace One pager”. Providing these instructions to your users simplifies the registration process for end-users and reduces possible confusion or challenges.
For helpdesk support, please go to support.respectgroupinc.com.

Rural Integrated Roads for Growth (RIRG) Program
The Rural Integrated Roads for Growth (RIRG) program is a Ministry of Highways funded program, administered by SARM, and governed by a Program Management Board, which is made up of voting representatives of both organizations.
| |
SARM’s administration of the RIRG program is governed by a service agreement between SARM and the Ministry of Highways. The RIRG service agreement was recently signed to extend SARM’s administration of the program for five years to March 31, 2029. Both SARM and the Ministry of Highways are delighted with the opportunity to continue supporting the construction and maintenance of rural roads that empower Saskatchewan’s thriving resource economy. | | | |
|
After hearing from SARM members and studying the impact of inflation on maintaining roads at primary weights, the Ministry increased the funding for the Rural Integrated Roads for Growth program in the 2024-25 Provincial Budget. Based on the funding received, the Program Management Board was able to increase the Clearing the Path assistance amount by $300 per kilometer. This increase makes payment for standard corridors $1300 per kilometer and premium corridors $1500 per kilometer. CTP applications are accepted on an ongoing basis here: https://fs4.formsite.com/SARM/CTP-New-App/index. | |
Based on feedback from SARM members on the significant increases to the cost of building rural bridges, the Program Management Board has increased the maximum amount of assistance for bridge capital projects from $500,000 to $1,000,000. The assistance rate continues to be up to 50%. | | | |
|
With the return of program funding to pre-stimulus levels, the roads eligible for funding will once again be limited to Class 5, 4, and 3 rural roads. This and additional policy updates will be available in the upcoming edition of the RIRG Policy Manual to be released on the SARM website at the announcement of the next intake for project applications. | |
The next intake for capital projects in the road and bridge and large diameter culvert construction programs will take place this fall (2024) with project approvals anticipated in January 2025. Start planning now for your application! | | |

Big Game Management Extended Hunt Pilot
The Ministry of Environment and Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) have been receiving a higher volume of concerns and compensation requests from agricultural producers regarding damage from deer and elk congregating on their property, ruining their feedstock and products.
To address this issue, the Ministry of Environment, SCIC, Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM), Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) and the Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety (CPPS) developed the Big Game Management Extended Hunt (BGMEH) pilot. This pilot will allow hunting tags to be issued in rural municipalities (RM) with high levels of wildlife damage to agricultural products.
From November 1st to 10th, the Ministry of Environment has initiated the BGMEH pilot in the following RMs:
- Livingstone (331)
- Hazel Dell (335)
- Kelvington (366)
- Bjorkdale (426)
- Leask (464)
| |
|
Each RM will be allocated an additional 50 antlerless elk licences above what was allocated through the Big Game Draw.
As of October 15th at 9 a.m., licences for the BGMEH are available through HAL on a first come – first serve basis and are available to Saskatchewan residents only.
RMs selected for the BGMEH are defined as hotspots. These RMs were selected based on SCIC inspections since 2021 and areas with a history of extensive damage to producer crops and feed. Only official damage claims to SCIC are used when assessing the requirement for implementing a BGMEH.
Producers operating within these hotspots will be encouraged to allow hunting on their land. SCIC will require producers to allow hunters reasonable access to farmlands as a condition of receiving payment from the Wildlife Damage Compensation and Prevention Program. Hunters are still required to request access to hunt on private land.
