Kindersley Christian Fellowship Xmas Banquet

Ron Estay, KCF Nov 30, 2013
Saturday evening KCF hosted their annual Fowl/Xmas Supper for the community. Invited to the banquet were community and business leaders. This year they hosted approximately 250 people. It was great with some games (what does a crazy fan look like) of which my wife and I were judges, some Christmas Carols, a couple of jokes, and this year CFL great Ron Estay of the Edmonton Eskimos Championship teams and coach of the Riders was the speaker.

KCF has provided leadership through their members and adherents in the community through their involvement in a variety of poverty issues, education, and more. Faith groups have an important role to play in the health of a vibrant community providing healing and a vision for what life can be, and helping people live lives that flourish.

Thank you KCF for your many contributions to Kindersley!

On a personal note: KCF have been very supportive of my family since my wife's accident last February. Thank you!




Xmas Crowd at KCF, Nov 30, 2013
The "Rider fan" game was to build a Rider Fan in 7 minutes using materials in a baggie which included: straws, balloons, tape, fancy stringy stuff, and stuff on the table including the people around it.

Salvation Army Kettle Campaign

This afternoon I attended and spoke at the Salvation Army's Kettle Campaign launch. The Kettle Campaign is the only fundraising campaign in which the local Salvation Army goes directly to the public to raise money. The goal this year is to raise $20,000. The monies stay in Kindersley and help local residents.
Capt Len Miller, Trunpeter Leona Wiebe, and Mgr Debra Walker at the Kettle Campaign Launch, Nov 30, 2013
During 2013 the Salvation Army has had to increase their aid to people in need 13%. Further, they launched a short program on the basics of cooking and budgeting to help people make healthy choices.

Kindersley is a better community because of the Salvation Army. The first reason is that the Salvation Army brings out the better angel of our natures as we volunteer or donate money or stuff. The second reason is that the Salvation Army helps the poor. People are poor for 3 general reasons:
  • Unlucky: sometimes they are born into the wrong family, became ill or injured, didn't have the right support at the right time, had an injury that diminished their capacity, etc.
  • Circumstances: sometimes people have no control over their situation and are laid off, the victim of a crime and are struggling to recover from the crime, live in an area in which the opportunities are sparse and they don't have the resources to leave, etc.
  • Poor Choices: sometimes people make poor choices. We don't always make the right choices and sometimes we can recover and sometimes people aren't able to recover. Sometimes people aren't aware of the quality of their choices and other times they are aware but they make bad choices for a variety of reasons.
Regardless of the reason the Salvation Army helps. They help families in distress due to fires and for other reasons but Kindersley would be less of a community without their involvement in the lives of the poor and marginalized.
Capt Len Miller, Wal Mart Mgr Tyler, and Salvation Army Mgr Debra Walker, Nov 30, 2013

Thank you Capt Len Miller for your leadership at the Salvation Army.

News Release: Officials Break Ground for New Housing Development


Desperately needed new housing is on its way for Kindersley as the official ground-breaking ceremony for Brookhollow Estates was held today at 1:30 pm.

Members of the public joined officials of the Town and developer Marathon Properties on site for the start of the 115 acre project that will create much needed new housing, infrastructure, and both residential and commercial lots in Kindersley. The development will be built east of the current Rosedale subdivision, extending north of the Motherwell Reservoir.

A presentation by Marathon Properties was held for the public following the ceremony at the Kindersley Town Office.

Phase One of the development will include the following residential lots:

·         58 lots for single, detached housing

·         16 lots for townhouses

·         3 lots for multiple-unit dwellings (i.e. duplex, tri-plex)

·         3 lots for high-density residential (apartments)

·         1 lot for seniors housing

“This exciting project is an important step in addressing the significant housing shortage in Kindersley. It is key to our growth and our future. I am thrilled that Marathon Properties has recognized the opportunities that exist in Kindersley, and has chosen to invest here,” says Mayor John Enns-Wind.

“Over the course of the next ten years, with staged development, Brookhollow Estates could become the home for more than 3,500 new friends and neighbours in Kindersley.”

Phase One of the Brookhollow Estates project is anticipated to provide a two-year inventory of homes in Kindersley. The developer is responsible to provide all infrastructure and deep services, including sidewalks, streetlights, curbs and gutters, resulting in zero cost to the taxpayer.

Once developed, lots will be sold to builders and/or the customer directly.

Tidbits Regarding the Work at Broohollow Estates

Here are some interesting things about the work going on at Brookhollow Estates:
  • the bulldozers are equipped with satellite connections and lasers.
    • the driver drives the bulldozer and the computers, programmed from Calgary, automatically adjust the blade and informs the driver when an area has met the specifications.
  • the earth moving should be complete by Christmas.
    • they are working 7 days per week.
  • the surveyors are expected to have staking completed in January so the lots can be titled.
  • if the winter is mild enough they want to install deep infrastructure.
  • they want construction to start in the spring as soon as is possible.

My photo of the bulldozer didn't show the satellite connection very well; I'll try again.

Brookhollow Estates Sod Turning Ceremony

Friday afternoon was an historic day for Kindersley. Wynn Sturm, his daughter and heir Lana, of Marathon Equities, and the architect Wojtect, participated in a formal sod turning ceremony with us to celebrate the construction of Brookhollow Estates. There was good crowd in attendance for both the sod ceremony and the presentation in the Chambers.
Brookhollow Estates Sod Turning Site, November 29, 2013
A ceremony like this has long been needed in Kindersley. For too long housing has been a problem in Kindersley. Today marks the beginning construction for new homes of all types. In the first stage 58 lots are for sale along Cooper Way, Halpenny Road, and Brookhollow Blvd. The lots range in price from $92,900 - $119,900. Also beginning construction in the spring will be 3 condominium towers with 62 units each over 4 floors totaling 186 condo units. The initial designs look very good for the condos. The condos are expected to sell for about $280,000 - 285,000. I should mention that Marathon Equities sets and enforces architectural controls. The condo will be Senior accessible with wider doors and elevators.

Because yesterday was Black Friday in the States, and it seems to be moving to Canada, Wynn and his group are offering 5% off the sale of a lot for someone who wants to build their own home. If you are a home builder and buy 3 or more lots then you receive 10% off. Forms are available at the Town Office.

Also announced yesterday was talks between Wynn and his group and a builder who wants to build a Senior's complex. Those talks are exploratory and it remains to be seen what the result will be.

One more thing: we are still working with the province to retain the $1 million grant towards affordable housing. Affordable housing is significant need and we are working towards the provision of such housing.

The earth moving is being done by Gee Bee.

Province on Track for a Surplus

 Here is a release from the provincial government regarding revenue and expenses. The Sask Party government is on track to have a surplus for both general revenue and the Growth and Financial Security Fund. The news release follows.


Thanks to a diverse and growing economy, Saskatchewan remains on track to balance its books in 2013-14, with surpluses projected for both the General Revenue Fund (GRF) and Summary Financial Statements.
“Balanced budgets are a key part of our government’s Plan for Growth,” Finance Minister Ken Krawetz said.  “Managing spending is an essential part of our commitment to fiscal responsibility.  We’re confident the Saskatchewan economy is well positioned to continue to withstand some expected volatility in the natural resource sector over the remainder of this fiscal year.”
The Mid-Year Report, released today, projects the province will finish the year with a $22.8 million pre-transfer surplus in the GRF and $677.7 million in the Growth and Financial Security Fund.  The Summary Financial Statements are projected to show a surplus of $467.0 million at year end, up $317.2 million from budget.
Economic growth is now forecast to increase to 3.6 per cent in 2013, mainly due to record crop production.  Saskatchewan continues to experience record population growth, has the lowest unemployment rate in the nation and leads the country in employment growth and growth in average weekly earnings.
Volatility in potash revenue was offset by increased oil revenue, resulting in a GRF revenue decrease of $33.9 million from budget.
Expenses are forecast to be $8.1 million higher than budget.  Disaster assistance spending as well as increased support for the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability program and other disability initiatives are the main areas of higher spending than projected at budget.  Beyond those needed increases, the Mid-Year Report shows that most other ministries and agencies are holding the line or reducing costs, identifying $75.6 million in expense reductions.
“In other words, increased spending is almost entirely for those affected by flooding and for persons with disabilities,” Krawetz said.  “Maintaining a balanced budget in 2013-14 and beyond remains a priority but our government will always be there for people in need.”

The Official Community Plan Draft: Biophysical Constraints on Development


3.8.1.1 To discourage inappropriate development in areas with potentially hazardous site conditions and to ensure that environmentally sensitive or hazardous lands are dedicated, as appropriate, as environmental reserve, during the subdivision process.

The series will finish December 4th with the posting of Implementation. If you have any questions please email me.

The Official Community Plan Draft: Amenities and Dedicated Lands

3.7.1.3 To support, encourage and facilitate connectivity and walkability throughout the Town.

3.7.1.4 To support the equitable access of community parks and open spaces to all residents and provide park space suitable for all community needs.

3.7.1.5 To consider opportunities to further enhance the recreation potential of the Kindersley Regional Park and the Motherwell Reservoir.

3.7.1.6 To ensure the perpetuation of Kindersley’s urban forest through new plantings and the protection and maintenance of existing trees throughout the Town.

The series will finish December 4th with the posting of Implementation. If you have any questions please email me.

Railway Accountability: Again

Since the tragic accident in Quebec, pressure has been building to ensure that Transport Canada is effectively ensuring railway safety across the country. As a result there was the Protective Direction due to talks with FCM. More pressure is being mounted today after the release of the Auditor-General's report outlining 'gaps' auditing the safety programs of the railway companies.

Currently rail companies are not accountable for their activities in the many municipalities in which they operate. If a rail company decides to erect a building on their land within Town limits they do not need a permit to build nor are they required to inform the municipality of the activity.

Hopefully things are changing on this issue. You can find the Auditor-General's report on rail safety here. Here is the Globe and Mail coverage of the Auditor-General's report. The National Post has not reported at writing.

Below are the Auditor-General's recommendations with Transport Canada's response:
Recommendation Response
Regulatory framework
7.26 Transport Canada should complete the implementation of the recommendations raised in the Railway Safety Act review and relevant recommendations of the rail safety review conducted by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. It should integrate the changes into the regulatory framework for federal railways to comply with and for the Department to oversee. (7.17–7.25) Agreed. With industry and other important stakeholders, Transport Canada will continue to act on recommendations of the Railway Safety Act review and the study of the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. For some recommendations, this will involve the integration of recommended changes into the Department’s regulatory framework.
7.32 Transport Canada should accelerate the resolution of important and long-standing safety issues. The Department should establish a formal process with clear timelines to monitor significant safety issues, from the time they are identified until they are mitigated to an acceptable level. (7.27–7.31) Agreed. Transport Canada will continue to work with industry and other important stakeholders to mitigate important safety issues: for example, it will continue its efforts to increase public awareness of the dangers of trespassing. It will use its national database as a tool to monitor timelines and progress.
Planning for oversight activities
7.42 To oversee the safety management systems implemented by federal railways, including their compliance with the regulatory framework, Transport Canada should
  • review its methodology to identify key safety risk and performance indicators, and the safety performance information it needs from railway companies, in order to make risk-based planning decisions;
  • collect the relevant risk and safety performance information from federal railways and assess its completeness and reliability; and
  • develop an approach to make better use of the information on federal railways’ safety risks and performance when preparing annual oversight plans. (7.33–7.41)
Agreed. As the Department continues to enhance its safety management system (SMS) approach to oversight, it will continue to develop/refine its methodology for identifying safety risks, performance indicators, and safety performance information needed from federal railways so that oversight activity can be targeted to the areas of greatest risk.
To this end, by winter 2014, the Department will complete a review of its methodology with a view to updating and strengthening performance and risk indicators.
By early 2016, the Department will introduce revised regulations clearly setting out the performance information that must be provided by federal railways. Once the regulations are in place, the Department will take account of this information into its annual risk-based planning process, the foundation for its annual oversight plans. The adequacy of federal railways’ own oversight policies and practices will be an important factor when preparing annual risk-based oversight plans.
7.49 Transport Canada should reassess the number of its planned audits and inspections so that it takes into account the new safety management system environment. It should review how it allocates resources, with the aim of conducting the minimum level of oversight necessary to obtain assurance that federal railways have implemented adequate and effective safety management systems to comply with the regulatory framework. The Department should conduct this minimum level of oversight. (7.43–7.48) Agreed. By spring 2014, Transport Canada will review its risk-based oversight program to more fully integrate the safety management system (SMS) environment and plan for increased audits. By fall 2014, Transport Canada will adjust the number of risk-based inspections to reflect required levels of oversight based on the latest safety and risk information, traffic volumes, and taking into consideration the number and findings of SMS audits.
Conducting oversight activities
7.58 Transport Canada should
  • provide better documentation tools to inspectors to carry out their oversight activities, so that they can better document and communicate to federal railways what they assessed and what they found;
  • improve its oversight of federal railways’ safety management systems by having inspectors assess their quality and effectiveness;
  • require federal railways to make the necessary changes to correct deficiencies affecting the safety of their operations; and
  • conduct timely follow-up on deficiencies affecting the safety of federal railways’ operations, to assess whether they have been corrected. (7.50–7.57)
Agreed. By mid-2014, Transport Canada will complete implementation of Rail Safety Integrated Gateway system audit and inspection modules, including training for Transport Canada staff on documentation and communication of oversight activity findings and follow-up requirements.
By mid-2014, following completion of training for all inspectors, Transport Canada will increase the number of system audits that are planned and conducted. Any deficiencies found in railway companies’ safety systems will be communicated to the companies, and the companies will be asked to address them. Where significant deficiencies have been identified, Transport Canada will, on a risk basis, conduct follow-up activity to ensure that the deficiencies have been addressed.
By late 2014, Transport Canada will introduce amendments to Railway Safety Management System Regulations that require railways, in addition to having specific processes in place, to also document corrective action decisions and their implementation.
By spring 2014, Transport Canada will develop a follow-up procedure and provide all inspectors with training on the procedure to enhance the consistency of follow-up activity.
7.62 Transport Canada should set a clear expectation for management review and approval in the planning, conducting, and reporting of oversight activities, with the aim of ensuring that inspectors comply with the methodology and that their reports are accurate. Transport Canada should provide guidance to management on how to document the timing and extent of management involvement. (7.59–7.61) Agreed. In keeping with its continuous improvement practices, by March 2014, Transport Canada will have strengthened management review of staff’s oversight activities, including adherence to established oversight methodology, to ensure staff is thorough and exercising due diligence in the conduct of inspections and audits.
Performance expectations will be clearly outlined in annual agreements with managers.
7.65 Transport Canada should improve its methodology to set clear expectations for planning and conducting audits and inspections, and for drafting and communicating findings to the federal railways. (7.63–7.64) Agreed. As Transport Canada progresses to a full systems-based approach to oversight, the Department will update its audit and inspection methodology and procedures, setting clear expectations for the planning, conduct, drafting, and communication of findings to railways.
Human resource planning
7.70 Transport Canada should identify and develop a strategy to ensure that it has the needed number of inspectors with the necessary skills and competencies required to plan and conduct the oversight of federal railways, including oversight of safety management systems. (7.66–7.69) Agreed. In order to fully integrate its systems-based approach to oversight, Transport Canada has developed a human resource strategy to ensure that it has the needed number of inspectors with the skills and competencies to plan and conduct the oversight of federal railways, including oversight of safety management systems.
Training, recruitment, and retention strategies will be reflected in an updated human resource plan for the Rail Safety Program, which will also take account of the number of planned audits.
By December 2014, Transport Canada will complete the skills and competencies assessment. Going forward, this information will be used to develop annual program oversight plans.
7.74 Transport Canada should ensure that inspectors and managers receive in a timely manner training to carry out their responsibilities. (7.71–7.73) Agreed. Transport Canada will put in place an annual schedule to ensure that all rail safety inspectors receive mandatory training on a timely basis to carry out their responsibilities.
7.76 The Department should put a process in place to monitor whether inspectors maintain their independence and objectivity when conducting audits and inspections of federal railways. (7.75) Agreed. Transport Canada addressed this recommendation during summer 2013 by providing information and awareness sessions on the updated Treasury Board Values and Ethics Code as well as developing its own Transport Canada Code of Values and Ethics.
In addition, Transport Canada will require all inspectors to regularly update their “Conflict of Interest” declarations, and it will require an update when changes in circumstances would impact on an inspector’s independence or objectivity.
Quality assurance
7.81 Transport Canada should develop a detailed quality assurance plan to assess its oversight methodology against best practices and to regularly evaluate audits and inspections against its methodology, with the goal of promoting continuous improvement. (7.77–7.80) Agreed. Transport Canada will expand its quality assurance program to include periodic testing of inspectors’ oversight activities, including testing practices related to systems-based audits. This will be completed by late 2014.

Changing Insurers

During our last Council meeting Council decided to place our commercial property insurance business with SUMAssure. SUMAssure was developed in 2009 by SUMA (SK Urban Municipalities Association) to help municipalities control insurance costs through an Insurance Reciprocal. Saskatchewan is the most recent province to go this route. The process involves both preventing loss and insuring to value. Since SUMAssure was established in 2009 rates for participating communities have declined 6.7%.

The decision was based on a number of factors including:
  • the Insurance Reciprocal specializes in municipal insurance providing the Town with increased expertise,
  • the Insurance Reciprocal is governed by a Board of Directors composed of Mayors, Councillors, and Administrators,
  • greater coverage of Town property including:
    • emergency vehicles,
    • more buildings,
    • enhanced coverage of our water treatment plan,
    • enhanced liability limit for special events and error and omissions,
    • after 3 - 5 years we will receive a equity payment from SUMAssure (similar to Co-Op's equity payment) thus increasing savings over time,
    • all buildings are insured at replacement cost,
    • full replacement cost of fire fighting equipment,
    • a lower deductible,
    • rates and premiums unaffected by claims,
    • complimentary risk control recommendations,
  • savings this year alone exceeding 12%.
If you have any questions please email me.

3.6.1.1 To support, encourage and facilitate, where feasible, the development and enhancement of community facilities and programs for the benefit of the residents of the Town and region.

3.6.1.2 To monitor shifts in population structures and the demands and recreation and culture needs, and adjust program delivery and facility provision on the basis of these shifts.

3.6.1.3 To support public service delivery agencies in the provision of services and, where appropriate, to assist in the programming of services to the public.

3.6.1.4 To encourage the coordination and integration of community facilities where appropriate.
