The centre has achieved and maintained accreditation from the Canadian Council on Health Facilities Accreditation since October 1984. A unique feature of the centre is its solid partnership with the University of Saskatchewan. The affiliation agreement emphasizes the importance of the centre's major teaching and research role and provides for senior professional staff to hold joint faculty appointments with the university. The agreement also provides for a board of governors, with university and community representation, to provide overall direction and guidance for the centre. Over the past year, the board updated the centre's Mission Statement to ensure its compatibility with the Mission of the Correctional Service of Canada.
