Social Workers Serve with Compassion

Megan Patterson: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to join with the Saskatchewan Association of Social Workers to recognize Social Work Week, which has been proclaimed from March 16th to 21st in Saskatchewan. This year we join social workers across our province and the country in marking a remarkable milestone — the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Association of Social Workers.

Social workers contribute in countless ways: helping families find stability, supporting people through life transitions, offering guidance through moments of crisis, and working collaboratively with other professionals and community partners to improve outcomes for those they serve. Their work is often emotionally demanding yet grounded in compassion and dedication to helping others.

This year’s theme — Registered Social Workers: Rooted in Relationship, Leading through Change — speaks to the heart of the profession. Social workers build strong, trusting relationships. Those connections help individuals and communities navigate change, strengthen resilience, and create opportunities for healing and growth.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of this Assembly, I want to express our sincere gratitude to all social workers for serving Saskatchewan people. Your contributions help build stronger, healthier communities across our province. Thank you.
