Facilitation for teams across Saskatchewan
Positive Impact facilitates strategic planning, leadership development, team retreats, and change management for organizations across Saskatchewan. Most provincial groups here are drawn from two cities and a great many smaller centres, which makes the question of when to meet as important as where.
If your session is for a team in Regina or Saskatoon, those pages go into more detail on each city. This page covers the province. We won’t tell you we have a Saskatchewan office, because we don’t. What we bring is the facilitation craft: someone neutral who owns the process so your people can own the content.
What we do
The areas we’re called in for most
Every engagement starts with your context. If your challenge isn’t listed here, ask us anyway.
Strategic Planning
A provincial plan here has to work for a head office and for members or sites scattered across hundreds of small centres. We facilitate the process so the people who deliver it in those places help shape it, rather than reading about it afterwards.
Learn moreCommunication Training & COMS
Our own communication styles framework, giving teams a common language for how they each work. It travels well between a boardroom and a branch, which is a gap a lot of provincial organizations here are working on.
Learn moreTeam Development & Team Building
Retreats, offsites and tailored sessions that build the trust and psychological safety strong teams depend on. Timing matters more here than almost anywhere, for reasons we set out further down this page.
Culture & Engagement
From vision and values work to culture shifts, we help turn shared purpose into commitments people live by, including in member organizations where the membership has changed faster than the mandate.
Leadership Development & Executive Coaching
Hands-on coaching and development for managers and executives, aimed at building clarity and confidence in how they lead. Often people promoted out of technical or operational roles who now lead the people who do them.
Corporate Training
Participant-led training designed around your people, with tools that stay useful long after the session ends. Delivered region by region, or once to a group pulled in from all of them.
Every engagement we run is shaped around your team. Share what you’re working on and we’ll build the right session around it.

Sessions that turn conversation into a plan your team can actually run with
There’s no prepared script. We guide the process, your team brings the expertise, and together we build toward a plan your people helped shape and will actually use.
Here that often means a room where half the people drove two hours to be there and will drive two hours back. That earns them a day that goes somewhere. Facilitator-guided, participant-led, and tight enough to respect the trip.

Why work with us
Three ways teams here engage a facilitator
Every engagement is customizable, but most start in one of these shapes.
Quarterly or monthly
Ongoing Partnership
A facilitator who gets to know your team over time, so trust deepens and development compounds instead of starting fresh each session. Mostly virtual, anchored by one or two in-person days a year.
Best for: making development a habit rather than a one-off.
Ask about a partnershipMulti-day, immersive
Multi-Day Offsite
Extended session for strategic planning, leadership development or a culture shift. When we’re flying east anyway, two days costs far less per day than one.
Best for: bigger decisions that need room to breathe.
Talk about an offsiteHalf-day to full-day
Single Workshop
A focused session built around one goal, whether that’s a decision, a kickoff, or a skill like communications or building trust and psychological safety.
Best for: teams that know exactly what they need to work through.

Outcomes
What your team walks away with
Better decisions, made together
Decisions the whole room actually gets behind, instead of quiet disagreement that surfaces later in the parking lot.
Real buy-in
Because people helped shape the outcome, they leave genuinely invested in it, not just told what was decided.
Stronger team connection
The kind of trust and psychological safety that lets high-performing teams work well together, whether they share a building or a province.
Action that sticks
Clear commitments and ownership that carry into Monday morning, not just good intentions on the day.
Fresh thinking and better ideas
Space for your team’s best thinking to surface, including ideas that might never have come up otherwise.
A record everyone can point at
A written summary of what was decided, who owns it, and by when. Useful when half the group has to brief a site that wasn’t in the room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Facilitation in Saskatchewan
Are your facilitators based in Saskatchewan?
No. Our facilitators travel to Saskatchewan for in-person work. We’d rather say that plainly than imply a local office we don’t have. It also means we arrive without a history with anyone in the group, which in a province where the professional community is close-knit is often the more useful half of being an outsider.
When should we hold the session? We keep hearing that timing is tricky.
It is, and it’s the first thing we ask about. Seeding runs from roughly early May into June and harvest from late August into October, and during those windows a substantial part of the province is genuinely unavailable. That’s why rural municipalities, agricultural associations, credit unions and co-operatives run their conventions and planning sessions in winter. November through March is the honest answer for a lot of organizations here, and because everyone else wants those weeks too, booking early matters more than it does elsewhere.
Do you work in Saskatoon?
Yes, and a good share of the work we’re asked about in this province sits there. Saskatoon now has its own page, which goes into more detail on that market and on the particular challenge of making decisions in a research-led organization. We also have a separate page for Regina. This page is for work whose footprint is the province rather than either city.
Our people would drive two hours each way. Is a full day worth it?
Sometimes, and we’ll tell you when it isn’t. If people are giving up half a day of travel on either side, the session has to produce something they couldn’t have got on a call, which usually means decisions, commitments and the kind of conversation that needs a room. If what you actually need is an update or a straightforward working session, we’d rather run it virtually and save the in-person day for the conversation that earns it.
What kinds of organizations do you work with here?
Leadership teams, boards, and departments across private, public, and non-profit organizations. In Saskatchewan that tends to mean potash and mining, agriculture and agri-value processing, energy and energy services, Crown corporations and provincial ministries, credit unions and co-operatives, health and social services, post-secondary institutions, municipalities, and provincial associations with a membership spread across the province. Group size ranges from an executive team of eight to a leadership summit of sixty.
How does travel affect what a session costs?
Travel is quoted as a separate line item, so you can see exactly what it adds. Getting a facilitator to Saskatoon or Regina usually means one connection each way. Once we’re in the province, a second session in the other city in the same week costs far less than a second trip, so it’s worth asking whether two things could share one visit. Virtual sessions carry no travel cost at all.
How far ahead should we book?
Further ahead than you would in most provinces, because the usable window is narrower. Six to eight weeks is the minimum for an in-person session, and for a winter date we’d suggest starting the conversation in the early autumn. That window covers a proper discovery call, a session design built around your goals rather than a template, and any pre-work such as an anonymous survey or interviews. Virtual sessions can move faster.
What does our team actually walk away with?
A written summary with the decisions made, the commitments people made out loud, and who owns what by when. Most sessions also produce something structural, such as a plan on a page, a set of priorities the group agreed to, or shared language for how the team communicates. The point is traction on Monday morning rather than a good feeling that fades by Wednesday. We can stay involved afterward if you want support keeping it alive.
