Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has announced that municipalities will see an overall funding increase of more than 10 million dollars for 2019-20.  That brings the total amount to 251 million next fiscal year for the municipal revenue sharing program. The additional 10 million represents a four percent increase from the current fiscal year following a review of the program and consultation with municipal stakeholders.

New North Chair and Creighton Mayor Bruce Fidler says they are happy the provincial government is increasing municipal sharing this year adding their members depend on this program for predictable funding.
