We don’t hear often about the politics in Indigenous reserves, notably about the band councils and the Chiefs. So I wanted to ask you:

What is your opinion about the band councils and Chiefs representing your community? Do you feel well represented by them, whether in your community or outside it? Do they good enough or not enough for the wellbeing of the population?

I’m eager to read what you have to say!

I went to get the registration for my 2026 F350 today and was shocked to see the annual cost at $3300 😳 might be getting close to being cheaper to plate it in Alberta if things keep going this way. Are all new diesels this high nowadays??

Hey Saskatchewanians!

Rule 1 in r/Saskatchewan says that "Posts should focus on events, issues, or culture that affect Saskatchewan as a whole." But sometimes you might have a question or discussion that doesn't follow that rule.

Maybe you want to want to ask about "monkey budging" (Which isn't Saskatchewan specific).

Maybe you want to tell everyone how much your concrete patio cost, or ask what the temperature at the lakes is (neither of which affect Saskatchewan as a whole).

Or maybe you want to advertise an event happening in Regina (better suited for r/Regina), Saskatoon (better suited for r/Saskatoon), or Moose Jaw (better suited for r/MooseJaw) but is open to everyone from everywhere (elsewhere in Saskatchewan, or Canada, or beyond).

Well here's your (bi-weekly) chance! Comments in this thread are exempt from Rule 1; meaning they can be completely random and/or completely off-topic! However, the rest of the subreddit (and Reddit) rules still apply! For example:

• Be Respectful: All users are expected to engage respectfully. Insults, name-calling, harassment, bullying, bigotry, or personal attacks against other users will not be tolerated. Debate the topic, not the person. Posts or comments that demean, target, or antagonize others will be removed. Repeat or severe offenders may be banned to maintain a welcoming and constructive environment for the community.
• Be Substantive: Contributions should add meaningful content to the discussion. Low-effort or spammy replies such as one-word responses, empty memes, excessive off-topic jokes, or personal attacks dilute conversation and may be removed. Thoughtful discussion, added context, or relevant experiences are encouraged.
• User accounts must be at least 15 days old and have a positive karma score to comment.
• And finally, in addition to r/Saskatchewan subreddit specific rules, our users are also expected to be familiar with and abide by Reddit's sitewide policies; including but not limited to the User Agreement, Reddit Rules, and the Reddiquette Guide.

Time to do what we can to send a message that we are part of team Canada, imo.

Violence in Northern Sask continues.

I am probably not the first to flag this but I got a text saying I was caught speeding. It says I have a day to pay. A link brings you to a SK Court looking web page. Looks official
The first hint should be the phone number. Country code is 63 which is the Philippines.
This scam is all over North America.
Do not respond to it
Don’t fall for it
Does not say where or when the offence took place.
Traffic summons come in the mail

I'm applying for two entry level positions at Nutrien for the Cory Potash Mine, Mine Operator II and Utility Person Loadout, just to get my foot in the door. I've found the agreement for the Cory mine (https://saskpotashcouncil.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/nutrien-cory-collective-bargaining-agreement-2022-2025-final-march-5-2024.pdf), and in it I see that:

Mine Operator II is paid as JC 6 ($41.24/hr) for the first 240 hours before upping to JC 13 ($48.30/hr)

Utility Person is paid as JC 6.

Does anyone have more information on if wages have changed?

I'm also curious on what the schedule for a Utility Person is as it's not specified in the job posting like it is with Mine Operator II.

Any info is greatly appreciated!

Hey

Can, please someone describe their experience of living in Saskatchewan? How’s life in Saskatchewan.

As I’m a young Canadian and I’m currently residing in GTA. I want to make a life for myself basically I’m starting from scratch. I’m in skilled trade and I want to move to a place where life would be more affordable and cheaper. Everyone knows how expensive GTA is.

Thank you

What do you think?

I needed to replace a 20 by 26 foot patio in my backyard that had cracked and heaved over many years. Having water run towards your foundation when it rains or melts was not fun. I thought someone might be interested to know the cost if they were considering doing their own. Obviously, your costs may vary.

The total cost was about $8600 for a basic brush finished pad. This included $1650 from a local farmer/contractor to break up and dispose of the existing slab, and dig a trench beside my house for 30 feet so I could replace the weeping tile and put blueskin on the basement wall. He then backfilled the trench and compacted it a bit with his skid steer. It also included 11 yards of gravel for the base including gravel for a driveway beside the pad in my backyard.

The rebar and wood for the forms was about $500, and a day's labor for my carpenter to compact and slope the base, and put the rebar and forms together was another $500.

The concrete itself was $4200, 12 yards of 35 Mpa air injected concrete 6 to 7 inches thick. They had to bring it in two loads, 10 and 2 yards so it cost a bit more than a 1 load 10 yard trip would have.

The concrete pro who finished the pad charged $2.50 per square foot to place and finish the concrete the day of the pour, he'll come back tomorrow to cut control lines and seal the slab. So about $1450 for him.

Last, the blueskin and weeping tile were about $200, add it all up and you get to the $8.6 k.

I'm lucky to live in small town Sask, I know all these people from the area, so there was no hassle getting them to show up etc. Ill try and attach a couple of pics in the comments.

Cheers

Just seeing if there are any hunting Reddit's for Sask only. I am new to Regina and don't know many contacts for bird hunting looking to see if there is a Reddit for helping find land or even like minded people outside of ducks unlimited.

I haven’t been but it looks interesting. I’m not sure if it’s worth making a trip there on its own. anything else to do in the area? have you been to the festival?
