Impaired driving charges in Saskatchewan are considered a criminal offence, are very strictly prosecuted, and come with mandatory minimum penalties. Impaired driving charges range from more "minor" penalties like fines and license suspensions to serious criminal offences. The severity of your charge depends on both how much alcohol or drugs were in your system and whether anyone was hurt as a result of your actions. For a first offence, you will receive an immediate suspension of your license and a $1000 fine. Repeat offences come with harsher penalties, and depending on the severity of your circumstances, you could face up to 2 years in jail.
