Queen's Printer Changes Name to Publications Saskatchewan

Released on March 31, 2017

Effective April 1, 2017, the Office of the Queen’s Printer has been rebranded as Publications Saskatchewan.

The name change is meant to better reflect the role the office fulfills as the provider of all Government of Saskatchewan publications, documents and legislation.  It will also allow more streamlined, identifiable service and eliminate the need to rebrand in the event of a monarchy change.

“This office has provided a valuable service to Saskatchewan for over a century,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said.  “The rebranding to Publications Saskatchewan represents the ongoing modernization of this office and the important role it plays in providing equal access to government information for everyone in this province.”

Publications Saskatchewan will retain all the services that operated under the Office of the Queen’s Printer.

This includes:
  • publication and distribution of all legislation, regulations and other government legislative publications;
  • operation of the Government Publications Centre (www.publications.gov.sk.ca), a centralized online catalogue for all Government of Saskatchewan publications and documents;
  • operation of Freelaw (www.publications.gov.sk.ca/freelaw/) an online resource that provides access to all current Government of Saskatchewan legislation; and
  • oversight of the Queen’s Printer Revolving Fund.
This change affects the Office of the Queen’s Printer, but will not change the title of the position known as “Queen’s Printer” under The Queen’s Printer's Act.  The official status and authority of the Queen’s Printer will remain the same.

The Office of the Queen’s Printer was originally established in 1905 as the Saskatchewan Government Printing Company, before changing its name to The Office of the Queen’s Printer in 1988.
