The latest recipients from the Provincial Safety Traffic Fund were announced on Monday.
Among them were Quill Lake, Colonsay, and Fishing Lake First Nation who will use the funds for some road safety projects.
In Quill Lake, a crosswalk will be installed inside of a school zone to increase safety for pedestrians and vulnerable road users. The grant was $24,824.
While in Colonsay, permanent speed bumps will be added to reduce speeding in the community. The grant was $29,241.
Fishing Lake Nation will have pathways installed to connect to residential subdivisions. The grant was $100,000.
Grants are awarded to communities twice a year from the proceeds of photo speed enforcement. Since 2018, $14.55 of grants have been issued to 918 projects within the province.
This round of grants saw 61 projects receive funding, totaling $1.54 million.
Eligible projects must focus on one or more of these traffic safety priorities: speeding, impaired driving, distracted driving, occupant protection, intersection safety, aggressive driving, vulnerable road users or medically-at-risk drivers.
Proposals are reviewed by members of the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, the Prince Albert Grand Council, the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Highways and SGI.
Applications are now available for the next round of funding. The deadline is September 30, 2025.
