The Government of Saskatchewan has received several environmental certifications and awards this year from the Saskatchewan Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) for their excellence in building performance and sustainability.

BOMA BEST (Building Environmental Standards) is Canada’s largest environmental assessment and certification for existing buildings.

Eleven government buildings received BOMA BEST certifications this year, eight of which were gold certifications. Those buildings were Wiciwakan Place in Meadow Lake, Eiling Kramer Building in North Battleford, McNevin Building in Nipawin, Saskatoon Equipment Repair Depot, the Regina Provincial Courthouse, Paul Dojack Youth Centre, Lloyd Place, and Government House.

Three Government Buildings received silver BOMA BEST certifications: the Melfort Court of Kings Bench, E.I. Wood Building in Swift Current and the Saskatchewan Polytechnic E.A. Davies Building in Saskatoon.

Along with BOMA BEST certifications, some buildings also underwent ENERGY STAR assessments. Four buildings received a certification based on their energy efficiency compared to similar buildings in Canada.
