Crown Investments Corporation of Saskatchewan

Contributing to our Economy

This section shows the contribution of the provincial Crown corporation sector (CIC and its subsidiary Crowns) to Saskatchewan's economy in 2007. A Crown is included in a category only if it has something to report. For example, we have excluded CIC from the Partners and Capital spending categories. SGGF MC and SDFC have been excluded from all categories. The numbers for SGI include SGI CANADA and the Auto Fund.

Each Crown has its own sponsorships policy and makes its own decisions about organizations and events it will sponsor. The focus is on Saskatchewan-based charities and non-profit organizations, and on community events.
The total number of events/organizations may include duplicates because some Crowns may have sponsored the same event/organization. As well, the total number of communities may count the same community several times.
