Government Relations
It is a priority of this City Council to work with the Province of Saskatchewan and the Government of Canada to ensure that Saskatoon receives strong, predictable and sustainable funding that reflects and respects the important role the City plays in providing quality of life to its citizens.
Saskatoon is the province’s largest city, a driver of economic growth, a centre of business innovation, the site of the province’s medical-doctoral university, the hub of an emerging technology sector and the home of an increasingly diverse population who have chosen to live here. However, as a City we are facing some financial constraints that are jeopardizing our ability to provide valuable and necessary services to a considerable portion of Saskatchewan’s population.
Mayor Clark and Councillors are working at the federal and provincial levels to advocate for the citizens of Saskatoon.
Mayor Clark serves as the Vice-Chair of the Western Economic Solutions Taskforce of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Created after the most recent federal election, WEST looks for concrete solutions to expand, diversify, and strengthen the economies of communities in the West. We’re working collaboratively to find solutions and to work with the federal government to address the problems we are facing.
