Ted Munro, RCMP Superintendent for the Northern District, said the changes come to help make the detachments run a bit more efficiently. He said this change will make for quicker response times for those areas as Prince Albert RCMP has to drive through the city of Prince Albert to respond to those areas.
“When we look at it from the Melfort side,” Munro said. “Melfort detachment does not have to go through a major city, and you’re driving on a rural location, and they can respond quicker.”
Munro added that there were studies done to examine what would be the best way to organize those boundaries for each RCMP detachment.

WARNER SPRINGS
Runoff from big storms that soaked the region this winter have more than tripled the size of Lake Henshaw, meaning the Vista Irrigation District can cut back on its purchase of imported water potentially saving the district and its customers big money down the line.
The district owns the man-made lake near Warner Springs, as well as 43,000 acres of watershed land that lies to the east, north and south of it.
Water from the lake, held back by a dam built almost 100 years ago, is taken via canal to Lake Wohlford near Escondido and to Dixon Lake in Escondido, where it is mixed with imported water and then evenly split between Vista and Escondido water districts and piped to their customers.
