Growing Saskatchewan - Feeding the World

K+S Potash Canada is part of the K+S Group, one of the world’s leading suppliers of standard and speciality fertilizers and the world’s leading salt producer, with more than one hundred years of mining experience.

We are putting that experience and world-class expertise to work on the Legacy Project, a potash mine and production facility being built near Moose Jaw.

It will be the first new potash mine built in Saskatchewan in nearly forty years. Production is targeted for 2015.

The Legacy Project will mean new job opportunities for Saskatchewan workers, and new business opportunities for Saskatchewan companies supplying goods and services to this major economic development.

We are growing Saskatchewan, while providing the potash that is needed to help feed a growing world population.
