I would like to draw everyone’s attention to this recent SaskToday article that highlights a point we as the SGP have made many times, “unregulated wetland drainage exposes gaps in Saskatchewan water oversight.”

From the 2024 Sask. Green Party Election Platform

“Saskatchewan is the only province without a Wetlands Protection Policy. It’s time that Saskatchewan follows the lead of our neighbours in Alberta and Manitoba and develops a more balanced mitigation policy, one that offers protection for municipalities, producers, and society.

When wetlands are drained, we lose the benefits they provide of clean water, flood and drought protection, and recreation opportunities.

Saskatchewan must have a Wetlands Conservation Policy that doesn’t fall short of what is actually needed. As well, we also need legislation to protect our grasslands.”
