The Government of Saskatchewan announced they had reached a multi-million dollar settlement with a developer after a building project was stopped in Wascana Park.

The province is paying Brandt Properties $11.62 million to settle a lawsuit launched by the company last year.

The settlement ended a nearly nine-year saga of Brandt’s proposal to construct a four-storey, 77,000-square-foot building that would be a new home for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB).

The project received criticism from residents opposed to development in the park and how the process was handled.

In February 2022, Brandt filed a lawsuit against the provincial government and the Provincial Capital Commission (PCC).
