Meadow Lake city staff return from 2016 SUMA Conference
As the 111th annual Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) conference wraps up Wednesday, Meadow Lake mayor Gary Vidal is returning home.
“There’s a lot of valuable information we get,” Vidal said. “They do some education sessions for us, there’s an awful lot of opportunity to network with other people…I mean we had the premiere (Monday).
He said the conference was full of opportunity and ideas were broken down further to encompass a range of different sized communities.
Some of the education sessions included how to fill voids in volunteers, lessons learned through the 2015 forest fires, and taking a chance on change; how to positively react, and even embrace it.
