Seniors
Did you know that one in seven people in the province
of Saskatchewan is currently 65 years of age or older?
That is the highest seniors' population in Canada. Demographic
projects indicate that by the year 2020, approximately
one in six Saskatchewan residents will be 65 years of
age or older. At the same time, almost one in six Saskatchewan
residents will be 14 years of age and younger.
Saskatchewan has a Minister Responsible for Seniors who advocates on behalf
of seniors and ensures their voices are heard by the provincial government. The
Minister takes advice from seniors and seniors' organizations about issues of
importance to them. The Minister facilitates access for seniors to other
ministers, as well as providing a voice for seniors in Cabinet. You can reach
