More than 180 representatives from Saskatchewan towns, villages, resort villages, and northern municipalities gathered online May 19 for a virtual sector meeting hosted by Municipalities of Saskatchewan.
“Whether virtual or in-person, the annual Town, Village, and Northern Sector Meeting is a chance for hometown leaders to come together with others from similar-sized communities to discuss municipal issues, learn from one another, and explore solutions to our concerns,” Mayor Rennie Harper of Nipawin, Municipalities of Saskatchewan Vice-President of Towns said in a release.
Items of discussion included recreation, infrastructure funding for water and wastewater, and policing. Nearly all Saskatchewan towns and villages contract RCMP services through the Provincial Police Services Agreement. RCMP collective bargaining may result in retroactive salary increases back to 2016, which would result in significant cost increases to the agreement for provincial government, which will then be passed on to municipalities.
