A tentative agreement has been reached between the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee (GBC) and the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation (STF) Bargaining Committee.

Nature Saskatchewan’s Stewards of Saskatchewan program is monitoring at-risk species in the province, particularly Monarch Butterflies and Loggerhead Shrikes.
