New North was established on October 18, 1996 at its founding convention in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. It spent its first year working out of an office on Central Avenue in Prince Albert, before moving 200+ Kilometres north to La Ronge, Saskatchewan, where its remained since.

 

In that same year in 1997, it was Incorporated as the "Saskatchewan Association of Northern Communities Services Incorporated" better known as 'SANC Services Inc.'  when in 2001, SANC Services Inc. changed its name to New North - SANC Services Inc., a name well known throughout the north.

 

Proudly representing 35 Northern Communities within the Northern Administrative District (NAD), New North is located in a diverse and very large geographical region that divides the authority equally among four sectors, Central, East, West and Far North.
