Representative Assembly
Have Your Say at the Representative Assembly
The Representative Assembly (RA) is where Saskatchewan physicians come together to shape the future of the profession—and your voice matters.
As the governing body of the Saskatchewan Medical Association, the RA brings together about 100 physician representatives from across the province, including medical staff associations, specialty sections, medical students, and residents. Together, they speak on behalf of the entire membership and help guide the work of the SMA.
Why attend the RA?
The Representative Assembly is an opportunity to:
- Be heard on the issues that matter most to you and your colleagues
- Help set the direction of the SMA by shaping policy and priorities
- Connect and network with physicians from across Saskatchewan
- Engage directly with decision-makers, including conversations with politicians
- Play a role in leadership, including the election of the Board of Directors
The RA meets twice a year to discuss key issues facing the medical profession, approve the SMA’s annual budget, and ensure strong governance for the association.
By taking part in the Representative Assembly, you’re helping ensure the SMA reflects the collective voices, experiences, and priorities of its members—today and into the future.
Join us at the RA and be part of the conversation.

Resolutions
Have an issue you want the Representative Assembly to consider?
Resolutions are one of the ways SMA delegates can bring forward issues, ideas or priorities for consideration by the Representative Assembly (RA). When a resolution is approved by the RA, it provides direction for the SMA to consider how the issue can be advanced.
The SMA’s Resolutions Committee reviews submitted resolutions to make sure they are in the proper format and appropriate for consideration by the RA.
Please note: Resolutions may only be submitted by an RA delegate. If you are a non-delegate and have a resolution that you would like to bring forward, please contact the RA delegate for your Medical Staff Association or specialty section.

What is the deadline to submit a resolution?
The deadline to submit resolutions is October 2, 2026.
What is a resolution?
A resolution is a formal proposal asking the Representative Assembly to take a position or consider action on an issue.
Once a resolution is presented to the RA, delegates discuss and vote on it. If it is approved, SMA staff review how it could be advanced and provide recommendations to the Board, which considers factors such as strategic alignment, impact on members and available resources.
How do I submit a resolution?
Resolutions must be submitted by an RA delegate and require both a mover and seconder who are RA delegates.
Submit your resolution using the online resolution submission form. You’ll be asked to provide the proposed resolution and background information that will help the SMA understand the issue and determine how it could be advanced.
Delegates are encouraged to submit resolutions at least four weeks before the RA (October 2, 2026) so the Resolutions Committee has time to review the resolution and work with the mover and seconder on any recommended changes.
