Subhead:The Saskatchewan Prosperity Project’s event was abuzz with energy; attendees voiced deep frustrations with Canada’s Confederation. The core issues were the endless taxation, eroding freedoms, threats to gun rights, federal restrictions on resource development, a crumbling health-care system and a sense that the Canada they once knew had vanished.#

The Saskatchewan Prosperity Project (SPP) held its inaugural community meeting in Shaunavon, drawing a packed crowd eager to explore the province’s future.
Modelled after the Alberta Prosperity Project, the SPP is a grassroots, non-partisan educational initiative travelling across Saskatchewan.
The organization’s mission is to inform residents about the benefits, challenges and practical steps toward an independent Saskatchewan, one that harness its vast natural resources for local prosperity.
Shaunavon boasts a rich history. It was founded in 1913 as a Canadian Pacific Railway divisional point, with the town springing up rapidly thanks to its abundant supply of water. It’s famous as being Canada’s first “boom town,” growing from a village to town status in under a year.
In 1939, its renowned water was even shipped to King George VI and a young Queen Elizabeth during their royal visit.
