Q: How do I perform a simple search?

  1. Enter the search text in the search field.
  2. Use the drop down boxes to further define the search.
  3. Click on the search button.

When entering names the order does not matter, so entering "John Smith" or "Smith John" will both work in the same way.

The wildcard * can be used in place of a sequence of characters. For example, entering will* in the search field will find all entries beginning with will like william and williamson.

Additional search fields include phone number, position title, address, fax number.

Q: What is in this directory?

This directory is a listing of provincial government departments, Crown corporations, agencies, boards and commissions, organizational structure (divisions, branches, etc.), and contact information (inquiry lines, addresses, facsimile numbers). It also contains public information related to government employees such as position titles and telephone numbers. The information is very similar to the information available in the printed version of the Saskatchewan Government Directory.

Q: I tried a search to find the owner of a telephone number which was displayed on my telephone as an incoming call while I was away from my desk.  The Government directory was unable to locate a match, which must mean that it is not programmed for that search criteria.

Actually, it only means that the entry is not available on our site.  A number of departments restrict certain phone numbers (eg. social workers, judges), so it may only mean that the phone number is not available.  If you have additional questions, send a note to the GTDS Administrator.

Q: I was looking for a specific organizational unit on your site, but could not find it.

Did you try using the search engine to find it?  You can do searches for organizational units, as well as people, with our search engine.  If there are still no matches, you might want to try a more general search criteria.  If you have additional questions, send a note to the GTDS Administrator.

Q: How can I narrow my search to a particular department?

Use the department org code to narrow your search.  For example, if you would like to find all the Johnson's in Saskatchewan Property Management, type "SPM Johnson" in the search window.
