Saskatchewan’s Provincial Traffic Safety Fund is giving more than $1.6 million in grants to communities across Saskatchewan.

Sixty-seven projects in 66 Saskatchewan communities will receive grants. The grants range from $1,079 to $100,000.

The projects are meant to improve traffic and pedestrian safety. Some of the approved projects are speed safety signs in Avonlea, accessible sidewalk crossings in Carrot River and a traffic safety initiative at Cumberland House Cree Nation.

Minister Responsible for SGI Jeremy Harrison said, “With over $1.6 million in provincial grants, 66 municipalities and First Nations across Saskatchewan will be able to make important traffic safety improvements in their communities.”

The full list of approved projects and grant amounts can be found on SGI’s website.

Provincial Traffic Safety Fund grants are funded by using proceeds from photo speed enforcement and given out in two rounds each year. Applications are currently open for the next round of funding. The deadline to apply is September 30.
