Today, Saskatchewan's Lieutenant Governor, the provincial government and the Office of the Treaty Commissioner unveiled additional new signs that, once installed, will mean every Treaty is acknowledged with an official highway sign in the province.

“It started with one pair of signs and now across Saskatchewan, people will be able to see when they are crossing a Treaty boundary,” Office of the Treaty Commissioner of Saskatchewan Executive Director Angie Merasty said.

“We are so pleased to have had the support of our Elders Treaty kihtehayah Atnedhe Council to ensure we are honouring Treaty from north to south. We hope that drivers on these highways use these reminders to further their own reconciliation journey.”

The four pairs of signs will be put up in the future along:

Highway 2 north of Prince Albert to mark the Treaty 6 / Treaty 6A Boundary.
Highway 102 / 905 southeast of Southend to mark the Treaty 6A / Treaty 10 Boundary.
Highway 55 east of Nipawin to mark the Treaty 5 / Treaty 6 Boundary.
Highway 955 north of La Loche to mark the Treaty 8 / Treaty 10 Boundary. 

These signs will join others already along provincial highways.
