Hi Everyone:
The SUMA convention was a good experience. It was good to
speak with a variety of community leaders regarding the challenges and
opportunities they are facing as well how they are addressing them. Highlights
for me included the various breakout sessions including health, political
advocacy, and protecting our financial assets (preventing fraud).
Over the course of the convention we had the opportunity to
speak with the Minister of Health, Dustin Duncan, and the Minister of Health
for Rural and Remote Communities, Randy Weekes. The meeting was very
encouraging and since then I had a very good phone meeting with a Senior
Advisor; these two meetings have made me optimistic. Just a reminder that there
is a long road to haul regarding health care in our community.
During an open session with the Cabinet and Premier I was
able to ask a question regarding waste management for West Central
Saskatchewan. I have good news on two fronts: the government is supporting
regional initiatives to find waste management solutions including any
innovative and progressive methods beyond the traditional landfill; the second
bit of good news is that I was able to get contact information for a region
that is a couple of steps ahead of where we are now.
Recently the Firemen had their annual Ball. Our firefighters
are great and do a terrific job! Recently I gave Jeff and Dave Diamond Jubilee
Medals for their service. Do you know what the brigade did to celebrate? They
did more training.
To the Kindersley Fire Department: you represent what is
best about Kindersley!
