Municipal Sector Strategic Plan

Saskatchewan municipalities and the many services and facilities they provide are instrumental to the success of the economic and social fabric of Saskatchewan. The province, the municipal associations and, indeed, communities themselves, recognize that the nature and complexity of issues faced by the municipal sector require collective intergovernmental and interministry action and coordination.

The Municipal Sector Strategic Plan (MSSP) sets out general long term directions and identifies priorities shared by the municipal sector and the province.   Its purpose is to:

• Identify areas of opportunity where municipal-provincial collaboration can positively impact the economy, the environment, cultural diversity and social cohesion within our communities;
• Engage other government ministries and agencies in discussion with the municipal sector to resolve inter-jurisdictional irritants and enhance communication; and,
• Establish an effective government-to-government relationship

The MSSP is developed through "tables" of interest: Cities, Towns/Villages and Rural Municipalities. Integration of the work occurs through a table comprised of Co-Chairs representing each table.

A summary of ongoing and completed initiatives can be found in the "MSSP Status Report" document on this website.  It is updated bi-yearly and tracks the progress of current items discussed by the MSSP tables.  In addition, the meeting notes for each of the tables since 2009 are also available to review.

If you have any questions about the MSSP, please contact Chris Gunningham at (306) 787-4984 or chris.gunningham@gov.sk.ca.
