Province Cracks Down on Drug Traffickers to Protect Saskatchewan Communities
June 1, 2026
The Response to Illicit Drugs Act comes into force today, June 1, in Saskatchewan. The Act strengthens the province’s ability to respond to the harms caused by illicit drug production and trafficking. It establishes new legal tools that allow government and individuals harmed by illicit drug activity to recover costs from those involved in the production, trafficking, importing or exporting of highly addictive drugs.
