SARM Resolution Response
SARM has received a response from the Government of Saskatchewan pertaining to a resolution passed at the 2024 SARM Midterm Convention. Click the link below to review the response.
| | |
SARM and CAOEC Discuss Overweight Permitting Coordination
In June, SARM met with representatives from the Canadian Association of Energy Contractors (CAOEC) to discuss how Rural Municipalities (RMs) issue overweight permits to road users. The meeting focused on improving coordination and streamlining the permitting process across RMs, with the goal of reducing administrative challenges for industry while ensuring RMs are appropriately compensated and informed.
CAOEC is exploring ways to better align permit processes and is interested in learning more about:
- Is an overweight permit required for road users in your RM?
- The cost of obtaining an overweight permit.
- The process for obtaining the permit, including available methods (e.g., email, phone, in-person).
- The RM’s website address, if applicable.
- The name and contact information of the person responsible for permit inquiries.
| | To move this work forward, CAOEC will be reaching out to selected RMs in July to gather input and better understand current practices and needs. This feedback will help inform potential solutions, such as a centralized permit directory or improved online resources. | | | |
If you have questions or would like to share your RM’s experience with permitting, including how you determine the cost of permits, please contact:
Charlotte Wilson, MBA
Director, Corporate Services
P: 403.264.4311 ext. 110
C: 403.921.7358
E: cwilson@caoec.ca
SARM and CAOEC appreciate your input as we work together to support both industry and municipalities in Saskatchewan.
| | | 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. | | |
| Due to the Canada Day holiday, next week's Rural Dart newsletter will be postponed until Tuesday, July 8th. | | | |

- Public Awareness and Education
| | | |
Date: August 21, 2025

Local Government Recruitment
SARM encourages all rural residents to consider running for municipal council. Many RMs are experiencing vacancies on councils, and this presents an opportunity for individuals to get involved with the issues that directly affect daily life for the people in rural Saskatchewan.
| | Most of the hesitations people have about running for council have to do with outdated stereotypes and flat-out myths, such as not being an expert on municipal government, not having political experience, being more of a listener than a talker, or about the amount of time it takes to get involved. | | | To help dispel these stereotypes and myths, SARM has created the following video. RMs can use this video in their communities to help recruit municipal council members. | | |
Update New Council Member Details on SARM Website RM Directory
Don't forget to update the RM Directory on the SARM website. This will ensure that SARM and the public are kept up to date with current RM council details.
The RM Directory is also where we pull the information for SARM's convention name badges.
To access your RM Directory profile on the SARM website, please log in here and click on the “Manage your RM Directory Listing” link that is located under the Administrator’s Access for Updates heading on the Members Only homepage.

Payment Protection for Grain Producers
How Deferred Payments Can Leave You Without Coverage
The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) regulates grain handling to ensure that Canadian producers receive fair compensation when they deliver grain to licensed grain companies. When a licensed company fails to pay, the CGC’s Safeguards for Grain Farmers Program uses the company’s security to pay you if your claim is eligible.
For your claim to be eligible, you must:
When you defer a payment to a date outside of program eligibility periods, you are also opting out of payment protection through the CGC.

- Clean-up costs
- Environmental reinstatement
- Property damage
| |
- Economic loss
- Loss of subsistence living and cultural losses

The Rail Fund recommends that local leaders and first responders integrate claims preparedness and cost recovery into their emergency response plans.
To help prepare in advance, municipalities can download the new Compensation Checklist and include it in their emergency response binders. After all, being ready for the unexpected is the most effective way to help your community recover!

The Future of Rural Canada Report
Federation of Canadian Municipalities
Rural Canada is fundamental to the country’s future—not just as the source of our food, energy and resources, but as a driver of economic growth, resilience, and national prosperity. Rural municipalities are stepping up to meet the moment, but they’re doing so within a system that no longer reflects today’s realities—aging infrastructure, inadequate connectivity, rising public safety pressures, and a fiscal framework that was never designed for the responsibilities rural governments now carry.
This report, launched in May 2025, lays out a visionary but practical path forward for rural communities. It is grounded in the lived experience and deep local knowledge of rural municipal leaders from across the country and offers tools to deliver on their true potential.

Economic Resilience & Recovery Toolkit
Saskatchewan Economic Development Association (SEDA)
Physical and socio-economic disruptions are becoming more common. They can affect the day to day functioning of our communities, causing human, material or environmental losses.
SEDA's three part toolkit connects disruption management functions with economic principles to identify key issues and suggested action planning. Wherever possible, resources and contacts specific to Saskatchewan has been included. This information will be updated as changes in our provincial emergency management and economic environment occur. Realistic and coordinated planning will reduce duplication of efforts and maximize response and recovery efforts should an incident occur.
| | Toolkit I - Prepare: Advance planning will enable the community to respond to an incident quickly and effectively, minimizing long term economic impacts. | | | Toolkit II - Respond: Response focuses on addressing the immediate short-term effects of a catastrophic event. The timing and duration of response efforts will be unique to each situation. There is generally an overlap between response and recovery phases. | | | Toolkit III - Recovery: The Recovery Phase refers to the long term restoration of economic functions in the community such as government, industry and individual/households It typically involves the development, coordination, and implementation of operations, services, infrastructure, facilities, and programs. Recovery can be measured in weeks or months. Long-term recovery is measured in the years following an incident. | | | | | |
