This month's Weaver is packed with wonderful information and messages from your Leader and SGP Executive. Stay up to date. Be informed.
Here’s to the people who give!
This week is Volunteer Appreciation Week, and it feels especially important to pause and recognize you... the people who give their time, their energy, and their heart to the Saskatchewan Green Party.
During the election in 2024, you showed up in ways that truly mattered. You knocked on doors, made countless calls, organized, supported, encouraged, and kept going even when it was hard. I know that your continued commitment is rooted in a deep sense of caring for people and the planet.
I am personally grateful for your contributions, not only to the party but to the communities we want to represent and the values we stand for. The time and care you give make a real and lasting difference.
Please know that what you’ve done and what you continue to do has a real impact. Every conversation, every hour, every donation, every effort adds up to something bigger than any one campaign.

Saskatchewan Report Card Gives Child Poverty a Failing Grade
Nancy Carswell Blog Post, April 6, 2026 - Are you familiar with the song line, “If it wasn’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have no luck at all”? It is very applicable to the Saskatchewan Child Poverty Report Card 2026 by Simon Enoch (PhD), a Senior Researcher with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) in Saskatchewan. Before diving into the report, let’s build an analogy for child poverty using a boulder dropped in a stream.
USask students tackle sustainability beyond the classroom
Sask Today, April 1, 2026 - 50 students came together to explore eight unique projects and applied their learning to real-world sustainability challenges. These interdisciplinary projects go beyond environmental science to include community engagement, culture, and systems thinking, showing how social, cultural, and economic factors shape long-term sustainability. Together, they showcase the range of sustainability efforts on campus, and the impact students can have in creating practical, community-focused solutions.
Renewable Options for Powering Saskatchewan
The Saskatoon Star Phoenix, April 11. 2026 - The underlying assumption is that several thousand megawatts of electricity will miraculously appear in the 2040s. The cost of such a feat could be in the order of $90 billion.
Could a New Nuclear Reactor Double or Triple Electricity Rates in New Brunswick?
The Energy Mix, April 9, 2026 - If the cost of a new reactor were passed on directly to NB Power customers through electricity rates, those rates could double or even triple.
Already, the costs of the original construction and later refurbishment of New Brunswick’s existing reactor at Lepreau make up $3.6 billion of the utility’s current crippling debt, the NB Power Review noted. That debt, plus the fact that the reactor has been operating below capacity since the refurbishment, is costing ratepayers dearly.
But despite New Brunswick’s costly nuclear experience, a new reactor has been in the cards since 2023, when NB Power and the provincial government published plans calling for 600 megawatts (MW) of new nuclear power by 2035 at the Point Lepreau site on the Bay of Fundy.
Bell’s 300 MW AI Data Centre Near Regina
Tammy Robert Substack Post, April 24, 2026 - A deep dive on the data centre deal that has sacrificed Saskatchewan farmland, democracy, and our power grid for American hyperscalers
R.M. closes doors on public meeting in Regina as Bell's plan for AI data centre is approved
Regina Leader Post, April 21, 2026 - Frustrated protesters were shut out of a public meeting where the Rural Municipality of Sherwood signed off on Bell Canada’s proposed artificial intelligence (AI) data centre.
Article content
More than 70 people amassed outside Sherwood’s office — located on the edge of Regina — prior to the R.M.’s council meeting on Monday night. The agenda was headlined by Bell’s development agreement which outlines its plans to service the $1.7-billion project.
