CITY OF SASKATOON EFAP PROGRAM
VISION
EFAP exists to help foster mental health and wellness for all City of Saskatoon employees.
MISSION

We strive to offer dynamic and adaptive programs that address evolving needs.
Providing Mental Health Support for City of Saskatoon Employees, Retirees and their dependent family members.
BOARD GOVERNANCE
The Employee and Family Assistance Program Board of Directors exists with representation from Unions, Associations, Departments and Boards. It has full authority and responsibility over the governance, operation and evaluation of the Employee Family Assistance Program.
BOARD UPDATE -October 2026 To support more effective board governance, the EFAP Board of Directors has reduced in size. The new structure will include four representatives from Management and four representatives from Union. The decision was made by the EFAP Board following recommendations from a 2020 external audit, which found the board’s large size made it difficult to ensure all voices were fully heard and engaged. The change aims to improve the efficiency of decision-making while maintaining equal representation from both unions and the City.
This change will not affect EFAP services or the experience of employees accessing support.
