SSBA WELCOMES NEW MINISTER OF EDUCATION REGINA – The Saskatchewan School Boards Association (SSBA) congratulated the Saskatchewan Party and Premier Scott Moe on their re-election, welcomed Minister Dustin Duncan to the Education portfolio and thanked outgoing Minister of Education Gordon Wyant, following the recent provincial election and cabinet announcement. “We thank Minister Wyant for his service in our sector,” said Dr. Shawn Davidson, SSBA President. “We wish him all the best in his new role as Minister of Justice and Attorney General.” Davidson also congratulated and welcomed incoming Minister Duncan. “We look forward to working with Minister Duncan to advance the important efforts happening to support our province’s students,” said Davidson. “The SSBA and its member boards believe all students should have the resources they need to succeed and achieve, regardless of where they live in the province or their personal circumstances.” The SSBA is continuing to call for Innovation, Inclusion and Investment in the education system. Davidson also highlighted the important work happening in the pandemic context through the sector’s Response Planning Team and encouraged support for this ongoing, collaborative work. Davidson said he also looks forward to continuing to work with Premier Moe. One important connection between the SSBA and the premier’s office is the annual Premier’s Board of Education Award for Innovation and Excellence. Since 1999, premiers of Saskatchewan have given their support for the award, which recognizes educational innovations and improvements focused on student achievement that have been advanced or directed by boards of education. Premier Moe and Minister Duncan have been invited to meet with school board members during the SSBA’s upcoming virtual Annual General Meeting. Davidson said he hopes they will take the opportunity to engage and establish relationships. -30- For more information, please contact: Joe Couture Communications Saskatchewan School Boards Association Cell: 306-502-3546 Email: [email protected] .

Tuesday, March 24, 2020 Hon. Scott Moe Premier of Saskatchewan Government of Saskatchewan 2405 Legislative Dr., Room 226 Regina SK S4S 0B3 Re: COVID-19 & The Essential Role of the Insurance Supply Chain Mr. Premier: On behalf of Saskatchewan’s property and casualty (P&C) insurance sector, thank you for the Province’s swift action in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We strongly support — and will continue to support — measures to protect the safety and wellbeing of Saskatchewanians. In that spirit, the Insurance Brokers Association of Saskatchewan (IBAS) and the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) are jointly writing today to underscore the vital role that our industry plays in protecting consumers, enabling the flow of commerce, and reinforcing the resiliency of communities, large and small. Without proper insurance coverage, families are at risk and businesses simply cannot operate. This protection is only made possible by a robust and highly collaborative supply chain, which includes insurance brokerages, private insurance companies, SGI, and various other vendors, from third-party adjusters to remediation and construction professionals. Brokerages, of course, also serve as the primary distribution channel for public services offered through the SGI Auto Fund, such as the issuance of driver’s licences, licence plates, and basic auto insurance coverage. The majority of the P&C insurance workforce has already migrated to remote work environments. Additional voluntary safeguards have also been put in place to limit potential exposure to appointment-based, in-person interactions only — in compliance with newly mandated provincial health protocols — that are deemed absolutely essential and without timely alternatives.

You are valued members of the health care team. We appreciate all the work that you do to provide care and support to patients and their families. Thank you to the SRNA for partnering with us to ensure that Saskatchewan is an attractive place for registered nurses to work and for supporting our efforts to build the province’s nursing workforce. Over the course of the past four years, we exceeded our Minister Duncan commitment to hire 800 new nurses and today there are over 940 more practicing across the province. Saskatchewan’s economy is growing and that means we will continue to need more registered nurses and other health care professionals, complete more surgeries, shorten wait times and improve patient care. We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with the SRNA in supporting the needs of Saskatchewan patients. Your government is committed to a health system that provides better health, better care, better value and better teams to serve the people of Saskatchewan, whether they live in urban centres or rural and remote areas of the province.

The Honourable Scott
President’s Address SARM’s 2020 Annual Convention began with opening ceremonies and an address from SARM President Ray Orb. His address touched on several issues important to rural Saskatchewan. President Orb welcomed delegates to the 2020 Annual Convention with special recognition to Senator Roland Crowe, former Chief of the FSIN, former Chief of Piapot First Nations, as well as President Orb’s neighbor. Mr. Crowe was recognized for his commitment to the betterment of the First Nations people and to the province of Saskatchewan receiving the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 1985. Roland initiated meetings with SARM, and business leaders in this province, to discuss common interests with the idea of creating a path forward for all of us. President Orb expressed the importance of municipal cooperation and collaboration, promoting the power of working with our rural, urban, and First Nations neighbors. He also shared SARM’s disappointment with SUMA’s proposed name change indicating SARM will not stand in the way of RMs working together to form municipal districts, but SARM will still stand up for rural municipalities when we believe their best interests aren’t being served. The name Municipalities of Saskatchewan implies that there is only one municipal association in this province representing all municipalities, which simply is not true. Saskatchewan is diverse. We have urban municipalities. And we have rural municipalities. We have SARM and SUMA and we believe that’s the way it should be. We champion the value of rural Saskatchewan and understand the unique challenges and opportunities that exist in our RMs.
