Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark says he was hoping for more “strategic investments” to prevent overdose deaths in this week’s provincial budget, including funding for Prairie Harm Reduction’s safe consumption site.
While he praised the government’s spending on expanded mental health and addictions services, he said supervised drug consumption sites not only save lives, but also make neighbourhoods safer.

“We are facing a crisis in our community when it comes to overdose deaths, and it’s affecting many families and many people,” Clark told reporters during a virtual news conference on Wednesday.
SASKATOON An environmental economist says Saskatchewan’s new $150 annual fee for owners of electric vehicles is “mind-boggling.” “You put a tax on things to discourage people from engaging in those activities, so what the province is signalling is, you shouldn’t be using EVs, you probably shouldn’t even be walking to work, you should drive to work,” said Joel Bruneau, associate professor and economic department head at the University of Saskatchewan. The fee was announced in the provincial budget on Tuesday and will go into effect Oct. 1. The government says it is an effort to recoup fuel tax money from residents who drive fully electric vehicles.
