West Central Municipal Government Committee Update September

The fourth Wednesday of the month, except December, is the meeting date for the municipalities of West Central Saskatchewan. The committee is venue for information to be shared and to effectively lobby higher levels of government for improvements that will enhance the quality of life for residents in our region.

Health

  • The flu shot will be available starting October 21st.
  • Heartland is working hard to be lean. Lean is the process of weeding out actions that do not add value to the goods or service.
  • Heartland is gaining ground in recruitment, with more still needed, but there is no room for complacency.

  • Spend-A-Day is a program designed for potential students to experience Great Plains College for a day. The Kindersley Campus is hosting their Spend-A-Day October 29th.

Presentation

  • Glenda Gies, of Multi-material Stewardship Western made a presentation regarding changes to the collection of Waste Packaging and Paper products. The intent is to have producers of packaging bear some of the cost of recycling waste packaging and paper.
