Tourism offerings and infrastructure across Saskatchewan will benefit from federal investments totalling over $2 million
Tourism is an important and growing part of the Saskatchewan economy. Statistics Canada reports a strong increase in travel spending in Saskatchewan, generating $2.85 billion in 2023. Tourism operators and communities across Saskatchewan are eager to offer a variety of recreational opportunities to new and returning visitors to experience distinct natural landscapes and cultural attractions. The Government of Canada is investing in tourism projects across Saskatchewan in recognition of the widespread benefits of the industry's continued growth.
Today, the Honourable Terry Duguid, Minister for PrairiesCan, announced $2,083,074 in federal support for nine Saskatchewan tourism operators and organizations that add value to their communities and the provincial economy. Projects include new year-round and cold weather tourism experiences that showcase the best that Saskatchewan has to offer, from astronomical sights in the dark skies of Cypress Hills, to cultural and traditional experiences linked to Indigenous, Fransaskois and Ukrainian communities.
