Released on June 12, 2013
The Government of Saskatchewan is seeking input from people across the province to improve and modernize The Provincial Lands Act.
The Act provides the authority to the Ministries of Agriculture and Environment to administer provincial Crown lands.
The Ministries of Agriculture and Environment will be holding consultation meetings throughout the province. Consultations will help inform changes to the Act. Crown land clients will receive notification letters of these meetings.
Consultations will address issues such as: improving client service; clarifying language and administration; identifying solutions for land-use conflicts; developing enforcement mechanisms; and strengthening regulatory frameworks.
