Saskatchewan Businesses: Tell Us How the 2025 Wildfires Affected You

SEDA is gathering information from businesses across North Central and Northeastern Saskatchewan to better understand the economic impacts of the 2025 wildfire season.

If your business is located in La Ronge, Air Ronge, Lac La Ronge Indian Band communities, Denare Beach, Creighton, or other affected communities across North Central and Northeastern Saskatchewan, we want to hear from you.

Whether your business experienced:

Evacuation-related disruptions or closures
Reduced sales or lost revenue
Staffing challenges
Supply chain disruptions
Other wildfire-related impacts

Your experience matters.

The survey takes just a few minutes and will help quantify the economic impact on businesses, strengthen advocacy for support and recovery, and inform future resilience efforts.

Complete the survey here:
North Central: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NorthCentralRC
Northeast: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NortheastSK

Every response helps build a clearer picture of what businesses experienced and strengthens the case for recovery support across the affected regions.

Please share this survey with other business owners and operators in your network.

What role does industry play in building a strong economic ecosystem?

Businesses don’t simply operate within communities and regions. They can be active partners in shaping the conditions that help those places grow.

In this soundbite from the Paths to Prosperity Podcast, guest expert Tyler Thorn explores the role industry can play as an ecosystem builder, creating connections, contributing knowledge and helping strengthen the communities and regions where they operate.

It’s a shift from thinking about economic development as something that happens around industry to recognizing industry as an important part of the ecosystem itself.

Listen to the soundbite and join the conversation.
