The Canadian Plant Health Council (CPHC), in collaboration with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, is seeking your input on the National Farm-Level Biosecurity Standard and Producer Guide for the Grains and Oilseeds Sector . Why is this important? Biosecurity is critical to protecting Canada’s grains and oilseeds sector from pests, diseases, and other risks that can impact productivity and market access. The current standard and guide were developed approximately 10 years ago, and we want to ensure they remain relevant and effective in today’s production environment. What’s available to help you? The CPHC has developed a short overview video that explains the purpose and key elements of the standard. You can view it here: https://youtu.be/I4uqMPWR4P4 How can you provide feedback? We invite you to share your thoughts on whether the standard and guide require updating.

APPLICATION DEADLINE Applications from communities must be postmarked on or before March 18th, 2026.  Applications received after this deadline will not be considered.   DOWNLOAD THE 2026 FUNDING REQUEST FORM BELOW AND RETURN IT TO: Keri Lukye: ar.admin@rmestevan.ca   or drop it off in person to: 1 - 322 4th Street, Estevan DOWNLOAD THE FORM: ABOUT THE PROGRAM The Sask Lotteries Community Grant Program is a partnership among Sask Sport, SaskCulture and the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association. The grant program assists in the development of sport, culture and recreation programs by providing funds to non-profit community organizations operated by volunteers.   The Sask Lotteries Community Grant Program is guided by the following: It provides access to sport, culture and recreation activities for all Saskatchewan people regardless of age, sex, ethnicity, economic status, physical or mental ability. It provides funds to community non-profit volunteer organizations in support of sport, culture and recreation programs. It allows communities to establish local priorities. It stipulates that all participating groups, from administration to beneficiary, are responsible for ensuring complete and accurate accounting.   ELIGIBILITY Who is eligible? First Nation band councils, northern settlements and municipal governments (city, town, village, organized hamlet or rural municipality) are eligible to apply. These authorities distribute funds to local non-profit volunteer community groups to provide programs.   How are eligible amounts determined? Grant amounts are determined by population. The minimum grant is $250. Inter-community cooperation is extremely important in the development of effective programs. Funds can be allocated to another jurisdiction in order to enhance access to high-quality programs as long as no outstanding grants exist. (Ex. The Village of A is 20 km from the Town of B. A and B can pool funding to provide one program for both centres. Authorities receiving funds from another centre must acquire the signature of a mayor/reeve/chief of the other authority.)   PROGRAM OBJECTIVE The goal of the program is to get people involved in sport, culture and recreation activities by enabling communities to address the needs of local residents. A portion of the total grant must be used for programs aimed at increasing participation for under-represented populations within your community. Examples include indigenous people, seniors, women, youth at risk, economically disadvantaged, persons with a disability and single-parent families. The under-represented requirement can be met by including under-represented populations in regular programs and/or by creating special programs to meet their needs. Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation   PROGRAM CRITERIA Expenditures must be directly related to the delivery of a sport, culture or recreation program. To be eligible, the Application Form must be signed by a bonded authorized officer of the community (mayor, reeve, chief, municipal / band administrator). Follow-ups verifying project expenditures must be submitted (see Follow-up Process for details). Communities receiving a grant of more than $2,000 are required to identify in the follow-up report that a minimum of 30 per cent of the grant was used to support programs directed at under-represented populations. Evidence of the direct involvement of under-represented populations in the planning, operating and evaluating of activities to be supported by the grant must be included in the Follow-up Report. Communities are responsible to ensure that appropriate liability and participant’s insurance is in place for events sponsored/funded by the Community Grant Program. Groups receiving grants must publicly acknowledge Sask Lotteries within their activities.   The program is designed to provide funding for sport, culture and recreation programs. Therefore, the following expenditures are INELIGIBLE for grants: Construction, renovation, retrofit and repairs to buildings/facilities (includes fixing doors, shingling roofs, flooring, moving/hauling dirt, etc.) Property taxes, insurance Alcoholic beverages Per Diems / Day Money Food or food related costs (this includes catering supplies, coffee pots, coffee, BBQs, etc.) Membership fees in other lottery-funded organizations Prizes, cash, gifts, awards, honorariums, trophies, plaques and badges Out-of-province activities and travel Donations Subsidization of wages for full-time employees.

Communities receiving a grant of $2,000 or less will not be limited to 25 per cent of the grant; however, non-operational program costs are encouraged to enhance programming.
