Unlocking the potential of Saskatchewan
Unlocking the future
We want to hear from you!
The Government of Saskatchewan is moving forward with stakeholder engagement and next steps of the engineering design for the approximately 100,000-acre irrigation project on Lake Diefenbaker.
Construction is targeted to begin in late 2026. Before work begins, the province will be engaging with agricultural and environmental stakeholders and groups, municipal and community organizations, First Nation and Métis organizations and communities, the federal government, key research organizations, and the public. This engagement is intended to generate dialogue and gather feedback.
If you have questions, comments or would like to provide feedback about the project, please click here.
