REGINA – Saskatchewan’s government is raising fees and adding new charges for anglers, electric vehicle drivers and immigration applicants.
The province says those who purchase fishing licences will need to buy a habitat certificate for the upcoming season.
The certificates will cost $20 for a season.
Electric vehicle drivers are already seeing road-usage fees increase at the pace of inflation.
And immigrants with job offers applying for residency will be charged a $500 fee starting April 1.
Saskatchewan is also increasing the deductible on basic vehicle plate insurance and increasing fines for businesses that violate alcohol serving rules.
The province anticipates the extra fees will generate $5.2 million in additional revenue.
