I work in the Saskatchewan Research Council's communications department and I'm here to contribute information that would improve the quality of the SRC-related page. After reviewing this page, many sources' webpages do not work anymore. I have gone ahead and edited all the sections and removed information that cannot be sourced and added in some additional information. I have sourced all the changes with secondary sources as much as I could as I know that referencing the website is not ideal. We are a treasury board crown corporation so our website does have accurate information. I am asking if we could replace all the current text and sources with what I have below. I have kept the same headings and sections as what is currently live. I really hope that you will allow our edits to be made to our page.

The Saskatchewan Research Council is a provincial treasury board crown corporation conducting research and business on behalf of the provincial government and private industry.[1] It focuses on applied research and development projects that generate profit.[2] Some of its funding comes from government grants, but it generates the balance from selling products and services.[3]
History
The Province of Saskatchewan established SRC in 1947.[4] SRC carried out its work through grants-in-aid to specific applied research activities at the University of Saskatchewan.[5] SRC’s first Director of Research was Dr. T. T. Thorvaldson, head of the university’s chemistry department.[6]
In 1954, SRC expanded its mandate to incorporate independent research.[7] SRC opened its own laboratories in 1958 and then expanded in 1963.[8]
SRC now had success by partnering with other companies and academics and published many reports that are in the public domain.{9}
In 1986 the research and development branch of SaskOil was transferred to SRC.[10]
SRC has grown to nearly 300 employees[11] and increased annual revenues. Its industries are Environment and Biotech, Energy, Mining and Minerals and Rare Earth Element which provide applied research and development services.[12]
Research
SRC’s research history includes developing a residential energy conservation research report that was used in the National Building Code of Canada.[13] SRC also mapped the groundwater resources in Saskatchewan south of the Precambrian Shield.[14] Its scientists evaluated Saskatchewan’s extensive lignite (coal) resources. SRC’s GenServe Laboratories were involved in testing for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (Mad Cow disease).[15] SRC is also known for building the Factor 9 home, which uses 90 per cent less energy and 50 per cent less water than a similar home built during the 1970s.[16] In the early 2000s, SRC developed a suite of dual-fuel hydrogen vehicles that led to the launch of Saskatchewan’s first hydrogen fuelling station in 2010.
Current research is conducted in a range of laboratories and test facilities.[17] SRC’s environmental analytical laboratories provide environmental monitoring and other tests to clients.[18] Its geoanalytical lab provides geochemical analyses for the mineral exploration industry. [19] Its other labs include Petroleum Analytical Laboratories, a Biofuels Test Centre, , a Pipe Flow Technology Centre, , and a diamond facility. {20} {21}
In 2017, SRC launched the Centre for the Demonstration of Emissions Reduction (CeDER), a test and verification facility to help industry manage and reduce its GHG emissions. {22}
SRC is contracted by the Government of Saskatchewan to manage the thirty-seven abandoned mines and mill sites near Lake Athabasca through Project CLEANS. {23} In 2020, SRC was awarded $31 million dollars in funding for a first-of-its-kind Rare Earth Processing Facility in Saskatchewan. {24}
