Vision

Saskatchewan people, regardless of differences in needs or circumstances, have opportunities to contribute and be included in the economic and social life of the province.

Principles

• Citizens have a right to opportunities for economic and social inclusion, and a responsibility to participate and contribute within their capacities.
  
• Citizens need a productive role in life that provides the opportunity to contribute to their own well-being, to families, to communities, and to the province.
• Citizenship for all people is a shared responsibility and is achieved through partnerships among individuals, families, communities and governments.
• Sustainable social policy reflects widely shared values and is developed through open dialogue with clients, stakeholders and the public.
• Interventions to support citizenship should be built on the best evidence of what works.
• Programs and services should be the least intrusive possible to achieve desired objectives.
• Community Resources is accountable to government and the public for the effectiveness and efficiency of its programs and services.
