Saskatchewan Blue Cross has donated $20,000 to six local organisations through its Your Voice, Your Choice programme, the not-for-profit announced on 28 October 2026 via GlobeNewswire. Advisors and employers across the province voted to direct funding to causes that matter most to them, the announcement says. The six recipients are: Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan ($3,000), Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan ($4,300), Inclusion Saskatchewan ($2,000), Make-A-Wish Saskatchewan ($6,000), Multicultural Society of Saskatchewan ($1,000), and a sixth organisation listed in the full release. Each year, participants vote for local initiatives that empower healthy lives while advancing wellness and reconciliation across Saskatchewan.
“More than just health benefits”
“We’re more than just health benefits,” said Kelly Wilson, president and CEO of Saskatchewan Blue Cross, in the announcement. “We believe strong communities are built through partnership. The Your Voice, Your Choice programme gives the individuals and businesses we work with the chance to help shape where funding is directed. Thank you to every advisor and employer who participated and helped strengthen the health and wellbeing of people across our province.” The programme is deliberately simple: a click becomes funding. That simplicity, the organisation says, is the point — giving advisor partners and group clients a voice in community investment, rather than leaving every decision to a central office.
Small grants, local impact
Twenty thousand dollars split six ways will not transform a province, but for a local charity, a $1,000 to $6,000 grant can cover a programme, a piece of equipment, or a family’s wish. Make-A-Wish Saskatchewan’s $6,000 share, the largest in this round, goes to an organisation whose whole mission is turning a child’s wish into a memory for a family facing serious illness. For Saskatchewan Blue Cross, the announcement is also a reminder that not-for-profit insurers measure success differently: not just in claims paid, but in communities strengthened. This year’s votes, the organisation says, did exactly that — turning clicks into cash for six groups doing the daily work of care, inclusion and hope across the province.
