Saskatchewan Invests $225,000 in Energy and Mineral Research Initiatives
The Saskatchewan government allocates $225,000 to the Global Institute for Energy, Minerals and Society to enhance research and workforce development in energy and minerals. This funding aims to bolster nuclear energy initiatives and critical minerals research, contributing to Saskatchewan's economic growth and clean energy transition.

Saskatchewan's government has announced a $225,000 investment in the Global Institute for Energy, Minerals and Society (GIEMS) for the fiscal year 2026-27. This funding will enhance operations and new initiatives within GIEMS, which was established in 2025 through a collaboration involving the University of Regina, the University of Saskatchewan, and Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
The investment is part of a broader provincial strategy focused on nuclear energy and critical minerals, aimed at positioning Saskatchewan as a leader in clean energy development. The funding will facilitate the coordination of nuclear research chairs, nuclear literacy programs, and the establishment of partnerships related to energy and minerals. Strengthening research in these areas is crucial for economic growth and aligns with Saskatchewan's Growth Plan and Energy Security Strategy.
