SARM’s Advocacy Team, at the direction of the SARM Board of Directors, meets and speaks with members and outside agencies on issues important to RMs, including bringing concerns forth at the provincial and federal levels.

SARM, through its Act of Incorporation, is mandated to work on files of importance to rural municipalities (RM) and agriculture producers.

SARM’s Strategic Communications Team leads the initiatives, events, and public-facing components of the work we do for RMs. Strategic Communications is responsible for our conventions, the Rural Dart, Rural Sheaf, Rural Councillor, webinars, and many other events and initiatives.

SARM’s Risk Management Team is comprised of two distinct groups: Benefits & Insurance and Legal. These departments administer and facilitate various SARM and external partner insurance and benefit products, as well as provide legal solicitor services to member rural municipalities.

SARM’s Programs Team engages with provincial and federal governments, industry leaders, and program partners, as well as other stakeholders, to effectively deliver SARM programs.

SARM's Member Purchasing Team provides group purchasing and procurement advising services to save member municipalities money and time through the buying and procuring processes with the goal of being the first stop for all municipalities’ purchasing and procurement needs.

SARM’s Community Planning Team is driven by a proactive and collaborative approach with municipalities to support growth, certainty for investment and landowners, and the protection and promotion of what already exists in the community. 

SARM’s Finance and Administration Team provides the budgeting, accounting, and reporting functions for SARM, the Insurance and Benefits Funds, all externally funded programs, and the Tax Loss Compensation Trust Funds administered by SARM. In addition, the team provides administrative assistance performing reception duties that include being the first point of contact for all guests and SARM members both in-person as well as virtually by phone and email.

Sideways Documentary Premiere

Nearly 40 years after the 1986 Swift Current Broncos bus crash, one of Canadian hockey’s most unforgettable stories is returning home, and it’s sparking conversations.

Trilight Entertainment, collaborating with the Swift Current Broncos, and the city of Swift Current, is proud to announce that Sideways, the critically anticipated documentary, will be screened in Swift Current on Wednesday, October 13 at InnovationPlex.

This screening is not only a tribute to those lost, but a call to action — to start talking, to start healing, and to take part in a movement that will reach communities across Canada.

This is the first step in a larger initiative aimed at turning tragedy into action through Tear Off The Tape focusing on training for mental wellness.
