Saskatchewan Provides New Funding for Autism Summer Programming

Released on May 29, 2025

The Government of Saskatchewan is increasing funding to the Autism Resource Centre (ARC) of Regina by providing $235,000 to support the expansion of a summer program for children and youth.

"Summer programs are a key and enriching part of the lives of many children and families," Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill said. "Great memories and life lessons are often a part of these experiences, and I am pleased we can offer this support to the Autism Resource Centre to enable more summer programming options."

The Autism Resource Centre provides the Therapeutic Summer Program for children and youth ages seven and up who are returning to school in fall. The summer camp program emphasizes individualized goals and life skill development. 

"ARC's summer program is a lifeline for many families - providing individualized, one-to-one support that helps autistic children maintain and develop critical skills, routines and social confidence," Autism Resource Centre Executive Director Angela Ricci said. "Families consistently tell us how essential this program is, not just for their child's development, but for their overall peace of mind." 

Ricci added that one parent shared: "As a mom of a very high-needs autistic child, I would not have survived the last 15 years without this summer program. It has given our family peace of mind and essential continuity."

In 2025-26, the Saskatchewan Health Authority provided annual funding of $1.5 million to the Autism Resource Centre for a range of services and programs to individuals and their families impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorder.
