Gull Lake Mayor Blake Campbell.

 

More than 100 representatives from Saskatchewan towns and villages met in Saskatoon last week for the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association annual stand-alone sector meeting.

Along with time to discuss shared issues and solutions, attendees heard from Government  Relations Minister Donna Harpauer and saw a presentation on solid waste management, delivered by staff from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment.

Gull Lake Mayor, Blake Campbell, was one of the Mayors that attended the meeting. He says, "I felt it was worthwhile attending. I thought it was overall quite a good meeting. I always enjoy these meetings because it's an opportunity to connect with your counterparts in your other communities. Quite often you do find that problems you're having somebody has already had those problems and the solutions are out there."

This was the third year that the meetings have been held outside of their annual convention because response has been so positive.
