for a total boost of 1.7 per cent over 2022.

Enrolment growth hit 2.1 per cent this year, the largest Saskatchewan has seen in 20 years. Becotte noted it’s a percentage rate that’s higher than the annual funding increase last spring. She pointed to the widely publicized $2 billion surplus announced earlier this fall, attributed to windfall resource revenue, a portion of which was divvied out to residents as $500 affordability cheques.Article content

Murray Mandryk: Sask. Party government focus misses city ER crisis\u0027Health care is a disaster. Anything to the contrary is inaccurate ... We are in trouble.
