Mosaic investment will support state-of-the-art learning environments for students in mining programs
December 2, 2025 – Saskatchewan Polytechnic received a $1.5-million investment from The Mosaic Company to support the growth of the province’s mining workforce and the Joseph A. Remai Saskatoon Campus. This significant and targeted funding underscores Mosaic’s long-term commitment to developing mining talent and expanding career opportunities in the province. Mosaic invested $4-million in educational partnerships with Sask Polytech, Suncrest College and Good Spirit School Division.
The funding will help create modern learning environments, hands-on training opportunities and access to technologies that prepare graduates for technical careers in the evolving mining sector. In recognition of the investment, the Industrial Mechanics shop in Saskatoon will be named the Mosaic Industrial Mechanics Workshop. Additional recognition will be featured in the skilled trades area at the Moose Jaw campus.
“Mosaic is pleased to invest $4 million to grow our future workforce,” says Bruce Bodine, president and chief executive officer of The Mosaic Company. “Our investment will strengthen our talent pipeline by mining local talent in the communities where we operate and provide opportunities for rural and Indigenous students to grow their careers. Over the last 20 years, Mosaic has been proud to provide good jobs and invest millions into Saskatchewan’s rural communities and across the province, and today’s announcement is another example of that ongoing commitment.”
“We are grateful to Mosaic for helping us create state-of-the-art trades facilities at our new Joseph A. Remai Saskatoon Campus,” says Dr. Larry Rosia, Sask Polytech president and CEO. “Our programs prepare students for diverse careers that power Saskatchewan’s vital mining industry, roles like industrial mechanics, instrumentation technicians, welders and electricians. This generous contribution will have a lasting impact on Sask Polytech and will ensure future trades graduates in Saskatoon and Moose Jaw are well prepared to take their place in our province’s mining workforce.”
The mining sector continues to be one of Saskatchewan’s pivotal economic drivers, consistently ranking among the province’s top contributors to GDP. More than 400 Sask Polytech graduates each year find employment in mining and mining-related industries.
Sask Polytech first introduced mining-related programs in the early 1980s. Mosaic has maintained a long-standing and active partnership with Sask Polytech, hiring students for co-operative education, summer work terms and serving on program advisory committees. Countless Sask Polytech alumni have built their careers at Mosaic.
The donation supports Sask Polytech’s Time to Rise campaign which aims to empower Sask Polytech graduates and strengthen the provincial economy. The Remai Saskatoon Campus will consolidate an existing network of decentralized, outdated buildings into a modern, technology-rich learning environment, increasing program capacity for more students.
