Biographical history

In 1986, the Government of Saskatchewan decided to reorganize the Department of Supply and Services into a Crown corporation. The Saskatchewan Property Management Corporation (SPMC) was established under the Crown Corporations Act in 1986 and continued under the Saskatchewan Property Management Act in 1987. SPMC began operating on March 25, 1986. The Department of Supply and Services was not disestablished until January 1, 1988, when all of its assets and functions were fully assumed by SPMC. As a provincial Crown corporation, SPMC was not subject to federal income tax, provincial income tax, federal large corporations tax or the goods and service tax.

Although the corporation's organizational structure changed frequently, its core responsibilities focused on four main service areas: accommodation services, commercial services, information technology and corporate support services. Accommodation services owned, leased, maintained, built, furnished and secured office space and buildings around the province. Commercial services provided vehicles, executive air travel, purchasing services (office, medical and janitorial supplies), sales and salvage, postal services, photographic services, warehouse and distribution, records management, relocation services, and conference facilities at the Echo Valley Conference Centre. Corporate services focused on communication, human resources, legal, investigation, risk management and insurance services. Information technology maintained all government internal web-based information, e-mail, telecommunications and computer support.

SPMC was overseen by a Minister Responsible, who served as chair of the Board of Directors. The appointed members of the Board of Directors determined overall policy and direction while the executive officers, including a president, managed the daily operations. While the corporation's head office was located in Regina, services were delivered by staff in cities and towns across the province. The corporation worked closely with the private sector to acquire supplies, negotiate contracts, provide maintenance and gain expertise in the architectural, engineering and construction industries.

During the 2004-05 fiscal year, significant work was done to transform SPMC from its Treasury Board Crown corporation structure to that of a department of Executive Government. Effective April 1, 2005, SPMC became the Department of Property Management, which had the same mandate as SPMC.

The Ministers Responsible for SPMC were Paul Schoenhals (1986); Graham Taylor (1986-1989); Lorne Hepworth (1989-1990); John Wolfe (1990-1991); Carol Carson (1991-1992); Ned Shillington (1992); Carol Teichrob (1992-1993); Eldon Lautermilch (1993-1995); Joanne Crofford (1995); Clay Serby (1995-1997); Maynard Sonntag (1997-1998); Doreen Hamilton (1998-2001); Kim Trew (2001-2002); Andrew Thomson (2002-2003); Ron Osika (2003) and Debra Higgins (2003-2005).
