Message from the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan 

It is my sincere pleasure to extend greetings on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, to 

all of the participants in the 105 th Annual Convention of the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association. 

We enjoy extraordinary rights and freedoms, and an exceptionally high standard of living thanks to our 

effective system of government. Our system relies on generous and capable citizens who are willing to give 

an enormous amount of time and energy to provide leadership in our communities. I am grateful to all of you 

for your outstanding contributions to our province. Thank you for your willingness to lead. 

The Honourable 

Dr. Gordon L. Barnhart 

Lieutenant Governor 

Please accept my very best wishes for a productive and enjoyable convention. 

Message from the Premier 

On behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan, I would like to thank SUMA and all its member communities 

for your continued efforts to build a strong future for the people of our province. 

2009 was a challenging year for both the Province and municipal governments, but through the worst of the 

recession, Saskatchewan’s economy remained strong and continued to create jobs and opportunities. Our 

population grew at its fastest pace in over 50 years and two Saskatchewan towns became cities – the first time 

that has happened since 1913. 


Brad Wall 

Premier of Saskatchewan 

Over the past year, the provincial government strengthened our commitment to our municipal partners. We 

provided $100 million in per capita infrastructure funding through the Municipal Economic Enhancement 

Program (MEEP). We delivered an unprecedented $167.4 million in Municipal Operating Grants (MOG) – an 

increase of 34 per cent over our first budget. And we provided $139 million in interest-free borrowing through 

the Saskatchewan Infrastructure Growth Initiative (SIGI) to help communities be ready for growth. 

Saskatchewan is forecast to lead the nation in economic growth in 2010. Our Government looks forward to 

working with our municipal partners as we continue “building momentum” in our province. 

Message from the Minister of Municipal Affairs 

As Minister of Municipal Affairs, it is my privilege on behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan to bring 

greetings to all delegates attending SUMA’s 105 th annual convention. 

This year’s theme, “Building Momentum” is a sentiment shared all over Saskatchewan. This past year we have 

seen many successes as the government-to-government relationship between the province and the municipal 

sector grows. 


Jeremy Harrison 

Minister of Municipal Affairs 

SUMA and its diverse members play an important part in building our province to the benefit of all communities. 

As we move forward together, we share a vision of a stronger Saskatchewan and a better life for everyone who 

lives here. 

Our economy is strong and everywhere we look, construction is underway. New people are making 

Saskatchewan their home and others are welcoming the opportunity to move back. This investment is 

strengthening rural and urban communities and providing a solid foundation for growth. 

Our shared commitment to work together enables both our levels of government to deliver quality services 

and ensure the necessary infrastructure is in place for our continued success. We must work together for the 

prosperity of our communities and province. 

I look forward to meeting new people and renewing acquaintances with many familiar friends and colleagues 

here, while continuing our discussions and working to explore opportunities that will benefit all of Saskatchewan. 

Best wishes for a successful and productive convention.

Message from the Mayor 

On behalf of my colleagues on City Council and the citizens of Regina, I welcome delegates as you return to 

attend SUMA’s 105 th Annual Convention, Building Momentum. 

The annual convention provides the delegates a chance to put their thoughts and visions together to come up 

with new resolutions to deal with the current issues. It takes great co-operation and foresight to find answers 

to these issues. By working together, SUMA’s members can identify solutions to reach our common goals. 

For those of you visiting Regina, and for residents as well, I encourage you to explore some of the many 

attractions the Queen City has to offer, from Casino Regina and the RCMP Heritage Centre, to the Saskatchewan 

Science Centre, Royal Saskatchewan Museum and the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame and Museum. We 

also have many unique shops and fine restaurants, where you are sure to discover the warm, friendly spirit of 

our city. I have no doubt you will see why “I Love Regina”. 

Mayor Pat Fiacco 

City of Regina 

I extend my congratulations and sincere thanks to everyone who worked so hard to put the conference 

together again this year. Regina is proud to host such an event. I wish everyone a wonderful stay in our city 

and a safe journey home. 

Message from the President 

Welcome to the first SUMA Convention for the new municipal term. As always, the convention will provide an 

excellent opportunity to meet with friends and acquaintances, exchange views, and participate in many events. 

A warm welcome, as well, to friends, family and guests alike, for it is your presence that makes our event such 

a success year after year. 

These four days will allow you to shape SUMA’s policy direction for the coming year through resolutions 

and the election of your Executive Committee. Many provincial Cabinet Ministers will attend our Bear Pit and 

Dialogue Sessions, so be sure to engage and let them know what you think. After all, the province is our 

partner in creating economic and social growth – something that benefits everyone in Saskatchewan. 

To those of you who are relatively new to leadership positions within the municipal sector, we are confident 

that you will find the SUMA Convention to be informative. We certainly work better when everyone contributes 

their unique points of view - your ideas and enthusiasm will be a great asset to our organization. 

Mayor Allan Earle 

SUMA President 

As President of SUMA it is indeed an honour and privilege to be part of an organization with such a proud 

history and strong membership. In that regard, I would like to single out the Convention Planning Committee 

and our capable staff who work so hard to make this organization and annual event such a success. 

Enjoy the convention! 

Message from the Convention Chair 

Welcome to the 2010 SUMA convention, our 105 th annual convention of Saskatchewan’s urban municipal 

leaders! The theme of our convention this year is Building Momentum. The theme reflects many of the current 

initiatives being pursued in your communities, and speaks also of SUMA’s strategic orientation and current 

efforts to promote your interests as effective local governments. 

As this is our first convention since the recent municipal elections, I want to offer a special welcome to our 

new leaders from across the province. 

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the staff of SUMA, I want to thank you for attending what we believe 

will be another excellent convention. Our convention is all about gathering together to meet colleagues, to 

discuss common issues that bind us as urban municipalities, and to enjoy the many events, sessions, and 

seminars so ably put together by our SUMA staff. We have an interesting and full schedule for you. The 

seminars and sessions are designed to reflect the priorities of our residents across the province. We hope 

you will return to your communities with new ideas, new friendships, to help reinvigorate your communities. 

Councillor 

Michael Fougere 

SUMA Director & 

2010 Convention Chair 

By attending the four day conference, you will play an important role in shaping our association. This year, 

the membership will elect a new SUMA executive, the group who will provide guidance and leadership for our 

membership over the next three years. It is important to have your voice heard. 

Enjoy the convention!

Convention Sessions

Education & Breakout Sessions 

Sunday: Concurrent Sessions 

1:00 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. 

E1: Changes to Municipal Financial 

Statements* 

Layne McFarlane, FCA, Meyers Norris Penny 

In preparation for the 2009 financial reporting 

period, this session will serve as a review for 

administrators of the changes to the financial 

statements that were presented at the October 

workshops. The session will be a condensed 

version of the October presentation that focused 

on the necessary changes from the old system 

of financial reporting to the new system. Layne 

McFarlane, the lead presenter at the financial 

statement workshops, will be on hand to 

conduct the session and address any questions 

that you may have. It is highly recommended 

that all staff responsible for your municipality’s 

financial reporting attend. Please note that 

this session is not intended for council 

members. 

E2: Environmental Liability for the Public 

Sector: Keeping environmental liabilities 

off the ledger. 

Kate Dodge, H.B.A., CRM, ERM , Aon Reed 

Stenhouse, Inc. 

Municipalities manage 

a wide spectrum of environmental 

exposures, 

including risks both common to any other business 

or corporation, and others specific to the 

public sector. There are very few non-public 

organizations that would have responsibility for 

the diversity of exposures facing a municipality 

including but not limited to, landfills, recycling 

facilities, waste/wastewater treatment facilities, 

sewer and stormwater systems, underground 

and above ground storage tanks. These risks 

present obvious environmental consequences 

for Saskatchewan’s municipalities and this session 

will focus on identifying, reducing, managing 

and transferring these risks. 

E3: Regional Waste Management: How 

are you taking out your garbage? 

Blake Nesbitt, Ministry of Environment & 

Grant See, ARWMAS 

Regional waste management systems involve 

several municipalities joining together to achieve 

greater results through a central authority than 

would be possible on their own. This session 

explores regional waste management systems 

in Saskatchewan, and why this structure might 

be right for you. 

E4: Models for Delivering Health Care in 

Small Urban Centres 

Tom McIntosh, PhD, University of Regina 

Many Saskatchewan communities struggle to 

keep local health care services at a level that 

matches the expectations of citizens. As communities 

grasp at ways to recruit and retain 

health care professionals, it may be time to look 

at how we provide local health services and 

what alternatives exist. This session will be an 

opportunity for open discussion on a variety of 

health care models for small urban centres. 

E5: Dealing with Developers: What You 

Need to Know 

Martino Verhaeghe, Ministry of Municipal 

Affairs 

Many communities around Saskatchewan are 

benefitting from our continued economic growth. 

Most noticeable is the increase in housing and 

commercial developments. Municipalities are 

on the front line of dealing with developers and 

should be aware of the responsibilities they have 

and what they can request from developers to 

ensure due process is followed. Ultimately, this 

session will help answer the question, “How do 

we get the best deal for our community?”

Sunday: Concurrent Sessions 

2:30 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. 

E6: Tax Collection and Enforcement 

Phil Boivin & Brian Sych, Ministry of Municipal 

Affairs and Kim Anderson, Robertson 

Stromberg Pederson LLP 

Many municipalities find it challenging to collect 

taxes levied on residents, but failing to collect 

taxes creates an unfair burden. This session 

will provide municipalities with tax collection 

strategies, as well as strategies to implement 

effective enforcement procedures. 

E7: Strategies to Control Rodent Populations 

in Your Community 

Travis Quirk, Provincial Council of ADD 

Boards 

Rodents whether they are gophers, mice, 

skunks or rats can be a huge problem for 

urban municipalities. Quite often it takes only 

a few simple steps to ensure these pests don’t 

overrun your community. Attendees will have 

the opportunity to hear first hand from different 

municipalities on experiences they have had 

and tools they implemented to eradicate the 

problem. In addition, professional pest control 

officers will discuss the many options available 

to prevent, control and eliminate pests. 

E8: Crime Prevention: Tools to Keep Your 

Community Safe 

Constable Rene Shank, Corporal Mert Malkoske 

& Sgt Doug Coleman, Royal Canadian 

Mounted Police 

Crime is present in all of our communities, 

from break and enters to large scale grow 

operations. Municipal leaders need to be keenly 

aware of the impact that crime can have on 

their communities and how they can implement 

certain strategies and tools to ensure the safest 

environment for their citizens. Attendees at this 

session will have the opportunity to interact with 

representatives from the RCMP and learn how 

municipalities can implement various crime 

prevention strategies. 

E9: Ready for Change: How adaptable is 

your municipality to climate change? 

Norm Henderson, University of Regina & 

Jeremy Pittman, Saskatchewan Watershed 

Authority 

Climate change impacts Saskatchewan, and 

the pace is expected to accelerate. This will 

affect many aspects of municipal management, 

especially water-related infrastructure. Winters 

will be warmer, summers drier, and severe 

weather events more frequent. Are you 

prepared? 

This education session is jointly presented by 

the Prairie Adaptation Research Collaborative 

(PARC) and Saskatchewan Watershed 

Authority (SWA). The focus will be on the 

impacts of climate change on Saskatchewan 

municipalities, especially on water issues, and 

on management options to deal with climate 

change. 

E10: Changes to Municipal Financial 

Statements* 

Layne McFarlane, FCA, Meyers Norris Penny 

In preparation for the 2009 financial reporting 

period, this session will serve as a review for 

administrators of the changes to the financial 

statements that were presented at the October 

workshops. The session will be a condensed 

version of the October presentation that focused 

on the necessary changes from the old system

of financial reporting to the new system. Layne 

McFarlane, the lead presenter at the financial 

statement workshops, will be on hand to 

conduct the session and address any questions 

that you may have. It is highly recommended 

that all staff responsible for your municipality’s 

financial reporting attend. Please note that 

this session is not intended for council 

members. 

(*DELIVERED TWICE) 

Monday: Concurrent Sessions 

1:30 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. 

B1: Roundtable Discussion: Challenges 

facing City Fire and Police Services 

Cities face very unique challenges in the 

operation of their fire and police services. For 

many cities, Protective Services account for 

a large component of the municipal operating 

budget and any changes to provincial legislation 

and funding have a significant impact on the 

sector. Cities tend to operate full time fire 

departments that service their own community 

and surrounding region, utilize the services of 

the RCMP on a much larger scale than other 

communities and in some situations have 

their own municipal police force. The breakout 

session is intended to provide an opportunity for 

the city sector to discuss these challenges with 

each other and representatives from provincial 

government. 

B2: Learning to Govern – Leading Your 

Municipality 

Sherry Magnuson, BA, MPA, Town of 

Kindersley 

Many municipal councils struggle with decisions 

on how to effectively delegate and oversee the 

work of administration. The result is that council 

often spends a great deal of time dealing with 

operational decisions and ‘putting out fires’. 

Adopting effective governance practices allows 

council to focus on the long-term implications 

of decisions, and plan for the community’s 

future. This session will look at examples 

in Saskatchewan of municipalities that have 

adopted effective governance practices, and 

what it has meant for them. 

B3: Bylaw Development: Using your 

Powers Wisely 

Phil Bovin & Brian Sych, Ministry of Municipal 

Affairs and Tiffany Paulsen, Robertson 

Stromberg Pederson LLP 

Provincial legislation provides municipal councils 

with the power to pass bylaws in order to govern 

the municipality in whatever manner the council 

considers appropriate and to enhance the 

council’s ability to respond to present and future 

issues. Does your municipality have bylaws 

that aren’t being enforced? Do you have bylaws 

that should be council resolutions instead, or 

resolutions that should be bylaws? How do you 

know when to use your bylaw powers? How 

do you engage your citizens when developing 

bylaws? Where do you look for help? This 

session will provide answers to these questions 

and more.

Resolutions for Consideration 

1. Inclusion of Emergency Response and Fire Service Costs in 

Development Fees 

SUMA Northwest Region 

Whereas many urban municipalities in Saskatchewan are experiencing an unprecedented level of 

residential and commercial development; and 

Whereas with many of these new developments, the municipality may need to construct a new fire 

hall or purchase additional fire service equipment to maintain the municipality’s fire service standard 

to these new developments; and 

Whereas the cost of maintaining this service can reasonably be expected to be collected through a 

fee for service or property tax base, urban municipalities have found the additional cost to be quite 

significant and have a desire to pursue other opportunities to fund these services; 

Therefore be it resolved that the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association lobby the 

Government of Saskatchewan to consider the addition of Emergency Response and Fire Service 

expenditures as an allowable cost under the Planning and Development Act, 2007. 

2. Uniform Compensation Rate for Annexed Lands 

East Central Region 

Be it resolved that the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association work with the Government of 

Saskatchewan to develop a uniform compensation rate that urban municipalities will pay for annexed 

lands from a rural municipality proven to be needed for future growth at a rate of seven years for 

commercial assessment and seven years for agricultural assessment. 

3. Allow Rural Municipalities to convert to an Urban Municipality 

District of Katepwa 

Whereas some rural municipalities are more resort in nature and have more in common with urban 

municipalities; and 

Whereas current legislation does not contain provisions for a rural municipality to change its status 

to a resort district, or an urban municipality, 

Therefore be it resolved that Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association request that the 

Ministry of Municipal Affairs to make changes to its current legislation to enable rural municipalities to 

change their status to that of an urban municipality. 

Background 

The council of the rural municipality of Lakeland has received a petition from Elk Ridge Resort to 

acquire Hamlet status. The RM has approached Municipal Affairs about the possibility of changing 

its status to the Resort District of Lakeland and transferring membership to SUMA. They have been 

advised that current legislation would not allow this to happen. 

Resolutions 

25

4. Authority for Urban Municipalities to Establish Destination 

Marketing Fees 

City of Moose Jaw 

Whereas Destination Marketing Fees on hotel stays are a common practice in many jurisdictions; and 

Whereas such fees are an important component in financing tourism marketing activities; and 

Whereas provincial legislation does not currently give authority to urban municipalities to levy such fees; 

Therefore be it resolved that the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association request that 

the provincial government establish a Provincial Destination Marketing Fee on hotel stays or grant 

authority to urban municipalities to impose such a fee in their individual jurisdictions. 

Background 

Destination Marketing Fees, in the form of a percentage on hotel stays, are used in other jurisdictions 

as a means for financing the costs of tourism promotion. Under current legislation in Saskatchewan, 

municipalities do not have legislative authority to impose such a fee. This resolution seeks to have 

either a legislative change done to provide such authority or have the provincial government impose 

such a fee with the proceeds disbursed to the respective municipality. Regina and Saskatoon have 

applied such a fee on a voluntary basis. Gaining consensus on such a fee in most municipalities, 

however, is difficult. 

5. Sustainable Water Source for South Central Saskatchewan 

South Central Municipal Association / Town of Gravelbourg 

Whereas many Urban and Rural Municipalities in the South Central Region of our province are now 

facing critical issues with respect to predictable quantity and quality of our water resources; and 

Whereas a sustainable supply of quality water is necessary for future human, livestock and continued 

economic existence and growth in the region; 

Therefore be it resolved that the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association work in 

conjunction with the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, the Municipal Capacity 

Development Program and all other appropriate departments and agencies to assist in developing a 

strategy for the implementation of a multi-use pipeline to the region to ensure a viable and sustainable 

water supply for our future. 

6. Extend Workers’ Compensation Board benefits to Volunteer Firefighters 

Town of Kindersley 

Whereas there are 7200 firefighters in the Province of Saskatchewan, 6400 of whom are volunteers; and 

Resolutions 

Whereas full-time active members of an urban fire department are automatically covered for cardiac 

injuries under Saskatchewan Workers Compensation Board policies but volunteer firefighters are not; and 

Whereas volunteer firefighters are just as vital to their communities as their full time urban counterparts; 


Government of Saskatchewan to change Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board policies so 

26

that all benefits available to full-time, active members of an urban fire department are also provided 

to volunteer firefighters. 

Background 

This resolution exactly mirrors the Emergent Resolution sent to the SARM Convention in March 2008 

by the R.M. of Caron No.162. 

The Volunteer Fire Chief of the R.M. of Caron passed away during the course of employment 

(command post in fighting a fire) in January 2008. The WCB initially declined his spouse’s application 

for WCB coverage on the following grounds: 

The WCB policy applies to full time active members of an urban fire department. 

The Fire Chief did not encounter any unusual physical exertion or strain nor was he exposed to any 

acute stress during this call. 

After a great deal of lobbying by the R.M. of Caron and SARM, this decision was overturned and 

coverage was granted. 

The Town of Kindersley Fire & Rescue Department expressed concerns to town council and 

administration in fall 2008 about the precedent set by this initial WCB ruling. Ron Hope, Kindersley 

Fire Chief, is a member of the Saskatchewan Association of Fire Chiefs (SAFC), an organization that 

has also identified these concerns. 

The Town investigated this further with the Saskatchewan Workers Compensation Board to determine 

coverage. There are many “grey” areas. 

It is the position of the Town of Kindersley and the Kindersley Fire & Rescue Department that volunteer 

firefighters provide valuable service to their communities, and are exposed to stress during every call, 

regardless of the position they hold during that incident. All of our volunteer firefighters are paged 

on every call, at any time of the day or night. They do not work shift work. They are highly trained 

to respond, however, they are exposed to many different types of incidents, including motor vehicle 

accidents. 

It is recommended that all WCB policies related to full time active members of an urban fire department 

be expanded to include volunteer firefighters. 

7. Requirement to Register All Terrain Vehicles 

City of Melville 

Whereas The All Terrain Vehicles Act does not require owners of All Terrain Vehicles to obtain a 

certificate of registration or registration permit; and 

Whereas without any highly visible identification, it is extremely difficult for municipal personnel and/ 

or the RCMP to identify the owner of an All Terrain Vehicle; and 

Whereas other provinces such as, the Province of Manitoba require owners of All Terrain Vehicles 

to obtain a certificate of registration and mount it on the All Terrain Vehicle so that is it highly visible; 

Therefore be it resolved that the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association request the 

Government of Saskatchewan amend The All Terrain Vehicles Act to require All Terrain Vehicle 

operators to obtain a certificate of registration or registration permit. 

Background 

At recent Police Commission meetings held at the City of Melville concerns were raised regarding use 

of ATVs within city limits and causing property damage. The RCMP noted that it is extremely difficult to 

determine the owner of an ATV due to the fact that it has no license plate as it is not required as per The All 

Terrain Vehicles Act. With a license plate, an owner of an ATV can be identified and charged accordingly. 

The Police Commission made a recommendation to City Council to adopt a bylaw to ban the use of ATVs 

within the City of Melville. To date, this bylaw has not been adopted by the City of Melville. 

Resolutions 

27

8. Support for Maintenance of Museum Facilities 

Town of Willow Bunch 

Whereas Museums are a vital part of history in Saskatchewan; and 

Whereas there is no provincial funding available for the maintenance of museums; and 

Whereas the cost of maintaining museum facilities is expensive and without assistance museums 

will be forced to close; 


Government of Saskatchewan to assist local municipalities in funding the maintenance of municipally 

owned museum buildings. 

9. Cost Share for Power Upgrades to Regional Parks 


Whereas Regional Parks are a vital part of tourism in Saskatchewan; and 

Whereas Saskatchewan is experiencing an increase in tourism; and 

Whereas much of this increase in tourism is being seen at our regional parks; and 

Whereas many of the parks are trying to expand to accommodate this growth; and 

Whereas much of the costs are related to power expansion; 


Government of Saskatchewan to cost share all upgrades for power expansion in regional parks. 

10. Additional Funding for Northern Communities to Comply with 

Environmental Standards 

New North – Saskatchewan Association of Northern Communities 

Whereas Northern communities cannot afford the costs associated with the maintenance and 

decommissioning of their landfills; and 

Whereas Northern communities are experiencing high costs with respect to complying with landfill 

and water management regulations; and 

Whereas Northern communities are being pressured to comply with all the regulations regarding 

landfills; 

Resolutions 

Therefore be it resolved that the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association lobby 

Saskatchewan Environment for funds to assist Northern communities in complying with these 

regulations as well as any other environmental regulations passed down in the near future. 

28

11. Information on the Impact of Oil Sands Development to 

Saskatchewan’s North 


Whereas the Saskatchewan Environment Society (SES) recently released a report-Preventing Oil 

Sands Fever in Saskatchewan-which raises concerns about the increasing environmental threats to 

Saskatchewan’s Northern lakes and forests from acid rain linked to oil sands development in Alberta; 

and 

Whereas the report states that government data shows that rain and snow fall in the La Loche region 

has an average pH of 4.96 and Environment Canada defines acid rain as pH reading below 5.00; and 

Whereas the Northern communities want to ensure that development of any oil sands must have an 

effective environmental management and monitoring system; 


provincial Ministry of the Environment to provide information on the amount of inter-jurisdictional 

pollution coming from Alberta’s oil sands and to assist the northern municipalities in developing a 

strategy to protect our environment from this pollution. 

12. Improved Cellular Phone Coverage for Northern Saskatchewan 


Whereas many of the Northern communities do not have access to cell phone services; and 

Whereas Northern communities that do have cell phone service only can be accessed within the 

town limits, leaving the rural areas without service; and 

Whereas better communication to promote safety for travelers as well as economic/business 

development opportunities is needed; 


Saskatchewan Telecommunications to upgrade the present service across the north and to provide 

cell phone coverage to all Northern communities as well as the surrounding rural areas. 

13. Improved High Speed Internet Access in Northern Saskatchewan 


Whereas many northern communities still do not have high speed Internet access or the service does 

not cover new subdivisions; and 

Whereas high speed internet is a major factor in addressing building capacity within the community; 

and 

Whereas northern communities need this access in order to promote business efficiencies, educational 

opportunities, and personal development; 


Saskatchewan Telecommunications to address the need for proper high speed Internet access in all 

northern communities. 

Resolutions 

29

14. Upgrade Highway Network in Northern Saskatchewan 


Whereas highway traffic coming in and going through many northern communities has increased 

drastically over the past few decades, and our highways have outgrown their life expectancy; and 

Whereas many northern communities have bridges that are too small not only for the large trucks 

carrying various types of dangerous goods, but also for passing local pedestrians and cyclists crossing 

the rivers; and 

Whereas various ways of upgrading our traffic corridors were recommended in the Traffic Studies 

report done more than two years ago for many of the Northern communities, nothing has been done 

to alleviate the current dangers outlined in the report; 


Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure to address the need for upgrading highway corridors in many 

northern communities. 

15. Adequate Funding for Municipal Owned Long-Term Care Facilities 

Town of Regina Beach 

Be it resolved that the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association lobby the Ministry of Health to 

ensure adequate funding for the operational costs of municipally owned long-term care facilities so 

that operational deficits do not become the financial burden of the municipalities. 

16. Additional Funding for Level 1 and 2 Care Homes 


Whereas there is a need for affordable Level 1 & 2 personal care home facilities in Saskatchewan; 

and 

Whereas the long term sustainability of personal care homes in Saskatchewan, particularly in rural 

Saskatchewan is in jeopardy; and 

Whereas without change, the cost to live in existing facilities will soar beyond reach for the majority of 

seniors, and the likelihood that new facilities will open in the future will be virtually eliminated; 


Government of Saskatchewan for support in funding Level 1 & 2 care home facilities. 

17. Provincial Funding for Conventional Bus Transportation 

City of Saskatoon 

Resolutions 

Whereas Saskatchewan communities currently must pay the Provincial Sales Tax on all expenses 

including bus purchases; 

Therefore be it resolved that the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association support the 

key recommendation of the City of Saskatoon to lobby the Government of Saskatchewan to provide 

PST exemption for capital purchases including the purchase of buses.
