In Canada is it legal to own Pepper Spray or mace for self defense purposes?
Or more specifically Saskatchewan? And if so is there any risks of criminal charges if you do use it?
As far as I know still it's illegal to carry pepper spray intended to be used against people (silly law but that's how it is right now).
BUT many people go around the law because it's legal to own and carry Dog or Bear Mace (you can't admit you plan to use it on people)... still you would need to prove legitimate self-defense situation, you can't go around "dog/bear macing" people just because you over reacted.

Pepper Spray Law In Canada
"In Canada all products with a label containing the words pepper spray, mace, etc, or otherwise originally produced for use on humans are classified as a prohibited weapon[27]. Only Peace Officers, and individuals/corporations who have special government permits may legally carry or possess pepper spray. Any similar canister with the labels reading "dog spray" and/or "bear spray" is regulated under the Pest Control Products Act - while legal to be carried by anyone, it is against the law if its use causes 'a risk of imminent death or serious bodily harm to another person' or harming the environment and carries a penalty up to a fine of $500,000 and jail time of maximum 3 years[28]. Of course, the legality of using spray intended for animal deterent on a person would be determined in court on a case-by-case basis."
