The federal and Saskatchewan governments have reached a deal to extend the province’s $10-a-day child-care agreement for another five years, beginning in the 2026-27 fiscal year.

The announcement was made at the YMCA in Regina Thursday by Saskatchewan Education Minister Everett Hindley and Buckley Belanger, Secretary of State for Rural Development.

The extension includes a five-year renewal of the Canada-Saskatchewan Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, and the bilateral agreement, starting in 2026-27.
