REGINA — The Government of Saskatchewan is conducting in-person accessibility assessments on more than 500 provincially-owned buildings.
The Ministry of SaskBuilds and Procurement is conducting the assessments, evaluating both the interior and exterior of each building to identify opportunities to improve accessibility, states a release issued by the ministry.
Once assessed, each facility will receive an audit report, which will help identify barriers in public-facing facilities and inform future planning, investments and improvements to support accessibility for all residents.
This project aligns with the Government of Saskatchewan Accessibility Plan 2024-2027, required under The Accessible Saskatchewan Act, prioritizing accessibility in public buildings.
Project and process planning began in spring 2025, with pilot assessments launched in November 2025 to test and refine procedures. To date, 18 buildings have been assessed, with all assessments expected to be completed by the end of 2027.
