During Respiratory Therapy Week, we shine a light on Respiratory Therapists (RTs). They are essential members of healthcare teams who help people of all ages breathe easier.

RTs work in hospitals, clinics, communities, and even in patients’ homes, assessing, treating, and supporting those who need respiratory care.

👏 We celebrate these dedicated professionals for the work they do every day.

ACT NOW to Fix the Harm!

Email Your MLA urging the Saskatchewan government to use tobacco industry settlement funds to fix the harm.

In case you missed it, a landmark settlement requires major tobacco companies to pay $32.5 billion in compensation to provinces for the immense health, social, and economic damage caused by tobacco products.

Tobacco and nicotine products kill over 1,500 people in our province every year, drain millions from our economy annually, and continue to fuel the youth vaping crisis.

Will you help us? 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: www.FixTheHarm.ca

Saskatchewan has already received $180 million of an anticipated $700 million payment from this settlement. We are asking the Government of Saskatchewan to invest less than 5% of these funds to support a three-year strategy focused on tobacco and nicotine prevention, protection, education, and quitting support.
