For clients affected by the recent wildfires in northern Saskatchewan, SaskTel is once again extending support measures.
These subsidies, which were originally scheduled to end on August 15th, will now last until September 5th for people living in towns that have been evacuated because of wildfire activity.
“As we continue to deal with a very unsettled fire situation in our province’s north, our government and SaskTel are ensuring that families forced to leave their homes do not face data overage fees or bills for home phone, TV and internet services they cannot use,” said Jeremy Harrison, Minister Responsible for SaskTel. “With so many families still away from home due to these devastating wildfires, we hope this continued support brings some relief and reassurance during an incredibly difficult time.”
Customers from evacuated communities will continue to receive waived wireless data overage charges; credited charges for SaskTel Internet; maxTV Stream; and Home Phone services.
The support from SaskTel will be applied automatically and will remain in effect for eligible communities under evacuation until September 5, 2025.
Situations are continually evolving, and evacuation orders for affected locations may change at any time.
