This year s YBID board will be Councillor Ken Chyz, Phoebe Buckle, Sean Craib-Petkau, Doug Hull, Sandy Kerr, Dave Nussbaumer, Gale Pelletier, Andrew Rae, Lauretta Ritchie-McInnes, Damon Syrota and Bruce Thurston. Donna Brothwell, executive director of YBID, said that like most businesses, they also had to adapt and take different approaches to be successful over the past year. One of the big examples of that philosophy was the Santa Claus Day reverse parade, which had stationary floats which cars moved through. It was a big success, she said, and kept the Christmas tradition moving in the city. “It’s about finding ways to do things through COVID.”
The four were approved by Yorkton Council at its regular meeting Monday. The Trans Canada Yellowhead Highway Association is a four province, non-profit association which was established in 1947 to promote the development, maintenance and use of the Yellowhead Corridor as vital to Canada’s national transportation and national unity. Their mandate is advocacy for the development, maintenance and enhancement of the Yellowhead Highway, and promotion of its benefits and assets to industry, tourists, governments and communities, explained Hippsley in making the recommendations. The City of Yorkton holds a membership in the Trans Canada Yellowhead Highway Association. Councillor Randy Goulden had been appointed as the City of Yorkton’s representative since 2012. Councillor Goulden has indicated that she is willing to continue to serve in this capacity for the 2020-2024 Council term.
When the tender came back in April, some members of council balked at the cost of the project at $16,750,000, which still came in well below previous estimates of $20,000,000. Darcy Zaharia, Mitch Hippsley, Ken Chyz and Quinn Haider all voted against the project. It took a second meeting of council and a cost reduction of $1,000,000, and a visit with employees on the site, to get Haider on side and the project approved with a 4-3 vote. While there was an attempt made by Zaharia to call a second special meeting of council to debate the project again, the meeting was called off due to not meeting the requirements of a special meeting. The project has gone ahead, and is currently partially through the construction phase.
