Have you ever thought of naming SaskAbilities as one of your beneficiaries in your RRSP?

Many of us have an RRSP, which you probably need to fund your retirement. One benefit of an RRSP is that you can name beneficiaries to receive unused funds when you pass. Plus, you can add or change a beneficiary any time without legal fees.

When you name a charity as one of the beneficiaries of your registered funds, you leave a generous contribution that will have future impact, and your estate benefits from the tax credit.

It only takes a minute. You can start now and download your RRSP beneficiary form on the Will Power campaign’s website. https://www.willpower.ca/donate-with-rrsp/

If you decide to name SaskAbilities as one of your beneficiaries – THANK YOU and please let us know so you can receive the benefits of being a LEGACY DONOR!

On December 2, 2025, members of SaskAbilities’ Board of Directors, together with staff members, were present in the Legislative Assembly as the Government of Saskatchewan officially proclaimed SaskAbilities Day—a meaningful recognition of our 75th anniversary and the work we’ve carried out together since 1950.

To the Government of Saskatchewan—thank you for this honour. To our community—thank you for your trust and belief in the work we do.

We invite you to watch and listen to this powerful moment as it unfolded in Legislative Assembly. It was a moment of pride, not only for SaskAbilities, but for every family, client, staff member, volunteer, donor, and community partner who has walked beside us on this journey.

This proclamation is more than a symbolic gesture. It’s a public affirmation of the values we hold dear: inclusion, accessibility, dignity, and opportunity for all.

Here’s to 75 years of impact—and to the future we continue to build, together.
