• Saskatchewan offers government grants in various fields.o' canada image by Kathryn Palmer from Fotolia.com
  
  Saskatchewan's official government website boasts that the prairie province "is known for having an incredible quality of life." Part of that quality of life stems from grants the provincial government makes available to its residents to continue their education, keep their families healthy, train for jobs and make their house energy-efficient. The huge province, which has a little more than a million residents, has an economy based on farming, ranching, oil and gas resources, uranium, wood and potash.

SaskEnergy

• Working in conjunction with the Saskatchewan government, SaskEnergy offers grants to homeowners wanting to improve their dwelling's energy efficiency. Grants help cover part of the expenses for retrofitting and are a reimbursement for approved work done.
  
  Applicants must contact a certified Saskatchewan EnerGuide for Houses (SEGH) organization for an evaluation of the property. The evaluation is not free, but the government subsidizes up to half of the cost. At the time of evaluation, the SEGH representative will inform the homeowner about retrofitting options for their house and how much grant money they may receive for improvements.
  
  After improvements are made, the SEGH will do a post-retrofit audit and will send the information to the government agency, which sends the funding on to the homeowner.
