Kindersley leads region with $1.5M in provincial revenue sharing

Kindersley is set to receive nearly $1.5 million from the province’s municipal revenue-sharing program in 2026-27, the largest allocation among communities in west-central Saskatchewan.

The figure is part of a record $392.4 million in revenue sharing being distributed to urban, rural and northern municipalities, based on a portion of provincial sales tax revenue.

Among nearby communities, Outlook will receive more than $752,300, Biggar about $687,100 and Delisle over $330,900. Eston is to receive more than $314,200, while smaller centres such as Elrose, Kyle and Dinsmore will receive between about $88,000 and $153,000.

Rosetown, meanwhile, is to receive more than $807,200, an increase of almost nine per cent from about $741,000 in 2025-26. That represents a boost of more than $66,000 compared with last year. Town administration had budgeted based on the lower 2025-26 amount.

Dodsland will receive nearly $71,100, Harris $63,050 and Milden more than $51,150. Brock and Plenty will each receive just over $44,000, while Zealandia is to receive about $26,100 and Wiseton nearly $22,600. Tessier and Netherhill will each receive $10,055.

In addition to revenue sharing, municipalities will have access to $239 million in infrastructure funding through various programs, including those supported by the federal government.

Government Relations Minister Eric Schmaltz said the funding is intended to help municipalities meet local priorities while maintaining affordability, noting education property tax rates will remain unchanged this year.
