Saskatchewan probes government building accessibility

Friday, February 27, 2026

The government of Saskatchewan is conducting accessibility assessments on more than 500 provincially-owned buildings.

The Ministry of SaskBuilds and Procurement is inspecting the interior and exterior of each building to identify opportunities for more inclusive and accessible spaces. Each facility will receive an audit report that highlights barriers in public-facing areas and helps inform future planning, investments, and improvements.

Planning for the project began in spring 2025, with pilot assessments launched in November 2025. So far, 18 buildings have been assessed, with all evaluations expected to be completed by the end of 2027.

“These assessments are an important step in ensuring that our government facilities support and accommodate all residents,” SaskBuilds and Procurement Minister Sean Wilson said. “The results will support planning to enhance accessibility across Saskatchewan.”

This project aligns with the Government of Saskatchewan Accessibility Plan 2024-2027, required under The Accessible Saskatchewan Act, and prioritizes accessibility in public buildings. More information on the legislation can be accessed here.
