Recruits and retains nurses - Compensation

We want to continue offering fair and competitive compensation for health professionals

    The minimum starting wage for a registered nurse in Saskatchewan is the third highest among the 10 provinces; the maximum wage is the fourth highest (as of April 1, 2007)

    Province $/Hr Min $/Hr Max
    Ontario $26.80 $38.16
    Alberta $29.33 $38.50
    British Columbia $27.17 $35.67
    Manitoba $26.80 $31.59
    Saskatchewan $26.90 $32.96
Typically Saskatchewan has striven to be in the middle with respect to nurses’ salaries across the country, following the rates of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, and very close to Manitoba.
