For the foreseeable future, Melville City Council will have meetings on a virtual platform called Microsoft Teams.
This is in response to increasing cases of COVID-19 variants in the province.
City Council held Monday night’s meeting on Microsoft Teams, and Mayor Walter Streelasky says they will continue to use it until things calm down.
The last time City Council didn’t have a meeting at City Hall was last summer, when they met via teleconference.
Overall, Streelasky felt the virtual meeting on Monday went smoothly.

With the Saskatchewan Government extending current health measures to March 19th, it raises the question of how this will effect the chances of an SJHL season resuming. The Melville Millionaires Junior A Hockey Club has until next Monday to submit a plan to City Council as to how they will utilize the Horizon Credit Union Centre should the season come back. If the Mils submit a plan before the deadline, City Council would review it during their March 1st meeting. Also last night, Mayor Walter Streelasky reacted to the provincial government extending the public health orders to March 19th. He said the current measures are bringing the COVID-19 case numbers down, which is good, and hopes we can keep COVID-19 and its variants at bay by adhering to the guidelines.
