"Streamlining permits and licences for entrepreneurs will reduce the complexity of the approval process and save entrepreneurs valuable time and money," said Marilyn Braun-Pollon, Saskatchewan Director, Canadian Federation of Independent Business. "It is our hope that other Saskatchewan municipalities will soon adopt BizPaL."
Business owners and entrepreneurs can access the service by visiting http://www.bizpal.gov.sk.ca and http://www.saskatoon.ca.
Based on the responses to a number of interactive questions on the nature and location of the business, the online service generates a customized list of required government permits and licences.
The list includes basic information about the permits and licences, the order in which they should be obtained, contact information and, in some cases, links to begin the application process.
The BizPaL system in Saskatoon was developed with Industry Canada support, in collaboration with the City of Saskatoon and the Province of Saskatchewan. The province is looking forward to expanding BizPaL to Regina, Moose Jaw and other Saskatchewan municipalities over the next year.
To date, BizPaL has been launched in the Yukon Territory with the City of Whitehorse; in British Columbia with the City of Kamloops; and in Ontario with the Regional Municipality of Halton.
Please visit BizPal for additional project history and information as well as to access the websites of participating partners.
