A firearms advisory committee has been established in the province charged with providing recommendations on firearms policy to the Minister of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety as well as the Chief Firearms Officer.

To devise those recommendations, the committee will be seeking input from the firearms community in the province on things like firearms education, licensing, transportation, the licensing of firearms ranges and public safety concerns.

There are seven people on the Board including representatives from the Saskatchewan Association of Firearm Education (SAFE), Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, Saskatchewan Trappers Association, Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM), the Canadian Sport Shooting Association, firearms safety instructors, hunters, sports shooters and anglers.

In 2021, Saskatchewan moved oversight of the province’s firearms program from the federal government to the province with the appointment of its first provincially appointed Chief Firearms Officer. The office now administers the Firearms Act in Saskatchewan.

The following individuals have been appointed to the committee: Gilbert White, Chairperson; Geoffrey Dufour, Board Member; Dan D’Autremont, Board Member; Garry Breitkreuz, Board Member; John Lawson, Board Member; Joyce Lorenz, Board Member; Darryl Yausie, Board Member.
