R.M. reps prepare possible election questions, as SARM convention gets underway
Roads, crime, flooding and beavers are all on the agenda this week at the annual Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) convention in Regina. And with a provincial election looming all their concerns may have a greater chance of being heard.
Representatives from both the rural municipalities (R.M.) of Prince Albert and Buckland made the trip down for the four-day conference. R.M. of Prince Albert Eric Schmalz said he is seeking some answers on one specific topic.
“I am interested to hear what SARM has to say about the proposal by the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) to re-organize both associations into one body. I know SARM is resistant to it,” he said.
The high point of the week is generally the bear pit session on Wednesday, when the R.M. council members have a chance to grill the provincial cabinet ministers. R.M. of Buckland Reeve Don Fyrk told paNOW he does not have any specific questions.
