Saskatchewan government opens to more aid for provincial ranchers hit by fall wildfires

REGINA — The Saskatchewan government is providing financial assistance to ranchers who suffered uninsurable losses when their grazing land was damaged by wildfires earlier this fall.
Government Relations Minister Larry Doke says in a release that producers who lost property can apply to the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program for aid feeding livestock.
Doke says grazing land is not insurable for losses due to fire, so the move will fill a gap and help producers’ operations recover
