Minute with the Mayor January 2017

Town Council and employees attended the Prairie North Regional Water System meeting on

January 12th in Lashburn. Officials from SaskWater presented some alternative ideas for water

service to the communities of Marshall, Lashburn, Waseca, Maidstone and the RM of Wilton.

Council will be discussing the information presented at the meeting before the end of January and

will seek public consultation in the near future. Please watch for more details on the subject in the

coming weeks.

It is time for Council to start preliminary budget discussions. The process usually takes place in

February, March and April. The past financial expenses and revenues are reviewed by Council.

Town Council and Town Employees put forth ideas and suggestions for consideration for the

upcoming year. Discussions revolve around priorities and the direction Council wishes the

community to follow for the coming year.

Councillor Covey will be attending the Annual SUMA Convention in February. It is an

opportunity for elected officials to come together for various informational sessions, debate

resolutions, network with other municipal officials and have an opportunity to question various

members of the Provincial Government.

Community Day planning will be getting underway soon. A committee of Council will sit down

to map out a plan for the day before the end of January. Then we will have a public meeting

inviting all interested groups to help with planning. This year Community Day will incorporate

Canada 150 Theme to celebrate the countries 150th birthday. We are also working with the

Lashburn Museum who will be hosting their 100th Birthday celebration in conjunction with the

day. It promises to be the biggest and best yet. If you would like to get involved please contact the

Town Office.

The Town continues to work on grants for the continued improvement of Heritage Park. The first

phase is almost complete with the installation of the playground and swings. In the spring the

Town will be continuing to landscape the park. Phase II involves the building of a multi-purpose

surface where the existing outdoor arena is located. The conceptual idea would be an outdoor rink

in the winter with new boards, refurbishing the change room, pouring a hard surface for use in the

summer as a skate park and basketball area. It is an exciting project and we encourage individuals

interested to become part of the committee. If you have an interest in joining the committee please

send in your name to the Town Office.

I encourage you to submit questions or concerns that you would like addressed in the next Minute

with the Mayor in March. Simply drop the question off at the Town Office or email me directly at

steven_turnbull@hotmail.ca.

Thank you

Steven Turnbull

In 1908 there was great excitement in Lashburn. James Bruce, a young settler, had

inherited a huge sum of money from an aunt in Scotland (around a million dollars). The

new town almost closed down for a party! A condition of the inheritance was that James

was to build a hospital and a church, in his home town. The only building still remaining

is the Anglican church on Main Street. If you would like to see around this historic

building please contact Rev Jessie Pei at 306-285-3228; Bev Watt at 306-285-3287 or

Colin Venables at 306-285-3772.

It's time to start thinking about getting the Community ready for planting and beautification for the summer of

2017. This year the committee would like to have businesses or individuals sponsor the barrels and hanging

planters on Main Street. The sponsorship will help offset the cost of planting and for other CIB beautification

projects.

Hanging Baskets are $50.00

Barrels are $100.00

If you are interested please submit the request on our Facebook page or contact a CIB Committee member. We

will contact you about the details of sponsorship.
