Municipal Sustainability

Municipal Affairs, along with sector partners, has developed a new interactive tool to help you assess the sustainability of your municipal operations and help you identify opportunities for improvement. The easy to use interactive tool allows municipalities to evaluate the sustainability of their municipal operations by answering questions related to the key areas of municipal sustainability. Based on the responses, the tool will provide municipalities with a score related to each area. Examining the self-assessment scores will help municipalities assess the things that are going well and areas where there are opportunities for improvement. This tool is exclusively for municipal use and results are not required to be shared.

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Municipal Affairs, with input from the municipal sector, developed the Municipal Government Self-Assessment Tool Concept Paper.  The concept paper was used to help guide development of an easy-to-use self-assessment tool focused on indicators of sustainability for municipal government, as opposed to communities. The tool highlights a municipality's current situation relative to key indicators of municipal sustainability and helps local officials come to their own conclusions about the sustainability of their municipality and what actions, if any, are needed to improve it.
