Please consider Emailing Your MLA urging the Saskatchewan Government to use to***co industry settlement funds to FIX the Harm.

Over the past several months, Lung Saskatchewan has been sharing updates about the landmark settlement requiring major to***co companies to pay $32.5 billion in compensation to provinces for the immense health, social, and economic damage caused by to***co products. To***co and ni****ne products kill over 1,500 people in our province every year, drain millions from our economy annually, and continues to fuel the youth va**ng crisis. Saskatchewan has already received $180 million of an anticipated $700 million payment. We are asking the Government of Saskatchewan to invest less than 5% of this settlement to fund a three-year strategy to support to***co and ni****ne prevention, protection, education, and quitting support. Will you help?

Our goal is to send 100 letters per riding by November 30th to ensure funds are allocated for the 2026-2027 budget. You can help make this happen by sending a letter to your MLA today.
