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.

Request for Submissions

Potential Amendments to Municipal Acts

in 2025-26

The Ministry of Government Relations is proposing to open the three municipal Acts for amendments in the 2025-26 legislative session. The legislation concerning municipal governance—The Cities Act, The Municipalities Act, and The Northern Municipalities Act, 2010—is periodically reviewed and amended to respond to changing policy needs and stakeholder concerns. These three Acts will be reviewed concurrently for the greatest possible alignment and consistency; however, any suggested amendments are encouraged, whether they are common to all three or specific to one particular Act.

Please note that this will not be the only opportunity to provide suggestions for amendments. The ministry will be asking for additional feedback on potential amendments this fall and winter. Please see the outline below for approximate timing on consultations throughout the process.

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.
