On Tuesday, July 11 the Town Administrator attended a quarterly Landfill Advisory Team meeting.

A couple years ago, the Town was invited to sit on this team because, out of all the Transfer Stations in the province, only two are in complete compliance; the Town of Hanley’s is one of those two thanks to the residents of Hanley and Rosedale for being diligent in supporting and respecting the operations of the Transfer Station!

This team works in a consultative capacity with the Ministry of Environment along with SUMA, SARM, the Ministry of Government Relations, the New North, the Association of Regional Waste Management Authorities of Saskatchewan (ARWMAS) and others that have been invited to the table for discussion. We have a direct line to the Minister of Environment who hopes to meet with the Team in August.

The Ministry of Government Relations has developed a new document aimed at assisting administrators and clerks in providing information to citizens with the intent that issues may be resolved at the local level.

The intent of this document is that it be available to all citizens as a handout.  The document is available on the website at : http://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/voting-consultations-and-democracy/accountability-of-council
