SARM Member Needs Assessment Survey

As SARM looks ahead to 2030 in developing a Strategic Plan for the next five years, we want to check in with you, our members, on what your needs and challenges are, so that we can look for ways to support your operations in meaningful, tangible ways.

Below are two survey links. One is for administrators to complete on their own. The other is for members of Council to complete on their own.

As a thank you for your time, we are going to make a draw for two Pre-Paid Visa Gift Cards out of the administrator’s responses and two more Pre-Paid Visa Gift Cards out of the elected official’s responses. Please include your email address in the “Other Comments” box towards the end of the survey, if you wish to be entered into the draw.

Have Your Say—A Survey Is Coming Your Way!

When we know more, we can do more. That’s why SARM is counting on your insights and participation in an upcoming demographics survey, arriving to your inboxes in early August. The survey, designed to help SARM better understand the diversity and demographics within your RM councils, will allow us to better support and serve both you and your communities.

By completing the survey, your input will:

• Help SARM better understand the diversity and demographics within your RM councils.
• Provide insights that identify existing relationships and foster overlooked ones.
• Translate data into effective actions and outcomes.
• Allow us to help you continue doing your important work.

Taking the survey will be easy (it really will!). When the email arrives in early August, simply click on the link provided to start and complete the survey in minutes!

Deadline Extension: Rural & Francophone Immigration Pilots

The deadline to submit an Expression of Interest for the Rural Community Immigration Pilot and Francophone Community Immigration Pilot has been extended to July 16, 2024.

Rural and Francophone minority communities are key to both Canada’s long-term growth and our linguistic vitality. However, these communities face unique economic and demographic challenges. That is why the Government of Canada is launching two new pilots this fall to attract the skilled workers they need to grow their economies and communities.

Agricultural Water Management

Presented by: The Water Security Agency (WSA)

Join SARM and the Water Security Agency (WSA) for an information session on agricultural water management. 

The WSA is committed to facilitating responsible drainage in resilient watersheds. But what does that mean? During this session, WSA will share information on agriculture water management and how drainage can be used as a tool on farms. They will explain the approval process and mitigation measures required to manage any potential impacts of drainage. The session will also provide an update on the made-in-Saskatchewan Agricultural Water Stewardship Policy that will be implemented in 2025.
