Saskatchewan’s booming economy is creating opportunities for employment and investment in all sectors of the province. But our province’s most enticing feature is the rich quality of life Saskatchewan residents enjoy.

We have low housing costs and utility rates, which are complemented by the third lowest personal income tax rate in the country. People who move to Saskatchewan claim it is more than just a great place to work – it is an ideal place to call home.
