Proposed retreat for first responders gains support, while RM prepares to vote on land use application
The next week will be very important for a proposed retreat southwest of Prince Albert that will provide supports for first responders suffering from operational stress injuries (OSI).
On Monday night, a public hearing will be held at Lily Plain Hall to discuss the property owner’s land use application.The Rural Municipality (RM) of Duck Lake council will then vote on the application the following Wednesday.
In the meantime, support continues to pour in for the River Valley Resilience Retreat. The latest cheque presentation was made Friday morning outside the Arsenal K-9 office in Prince Albert. Owner Jason Arsenault, a former long time member of the Saskatoon police officer, is very supportive of the project.
“People need help and this is going to be a great thing for them,” he said.
