The provincial government says Innovation Saskatchewan has selected a consultant to help shape new master plans for the Innovation Saskatchewan Research and Technology (R+T) Parks in Regina and Saskatoon.

The engagement includes a public survey. The plans will guide long term growth including demand for specialized space like greenhouses, laboratories and collaborative environments.

In a news release the province says this will be the first comprehensive long-term framework since the original development of the Research and Technology Parks in Saskatoon and Regina in 1977 and 1998 respectively.

A public survey launched Wednesday which will be conducted alongside interviews, focus groups, and workshops.
