Drainage Damage to Healthy Lakes

The opening session at convention will feature a panel of experts speaking about the threat that agricultural drainage has posed to our lakes. We are pleased to welcome Shaun Jaques, President and CEO (interim) of the Water Security Agency of Saskatchewan who will attend our convention to hear the panel members and who will then speak to our convention delegates. 

PARCS recently received an invitation to be part of the newly established Water Security Agency's first Agricultural Water Management Mitigation Policy Engagement Sessions. President Garry Dixon recently represented us at the first session on July 25th. The stated goal of these sessions is to ultimately "develop a made-in-Saskatchewan Agricultural Water Management Mitigation Policy". 

Having the Water Security Agency present at our convention will provide an excellent opportunity for delegates to put forward their input about protecting the safety of our lakes  

Seeking advice from Advisory Services

If the Mayor and Council of a Resort Village or a Rural Municipality are planning for an event or a bylaw or a project that is governed by government regulations, they often turn to the Advisory Services Branch of the Ministry of Government Relations. Who better to give us advice about when its time to call for help - than none other than Judy Kanack, Manager of Advisor Services.

Rep by Pop in Elections in Rural Municipalities

PARCS is currently consulting with several potential speakers who could speak to the implications of new legislative requirements that rural municipalities review their division boundaries (espcially with regards to their seasonal populations in cottage subdivisions). This process has been prompted by the provincial government and we have much to learn before we implement it.
