The Association of Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada (AWCBC) was founded in 1919 as a non-profit organization to facilitate the exchange of information between Workers’ Compensation Boards and Commissions across the country. Today, it has 12 Members representing each provincial/territorial jurisdiction responsible for administering workers’ compensation legislation in Canada. In addition to serving members, as the sole provider of national workplace injury statistics and creator of Key Statistical Measures, the Association also serves the Canadian public.
The Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) has approved the 2025 average employer premium rate, maintaining it at $1.28 per hundred dollars of payroll, unchanged from 2024. This decision reflects the WCB's commitment to balancing stable rates with a fully funded compensation system.
