2017 June Newsletter Town of Kerrobert Culture & Recreation Newsletter Email: [email protected] Website: www.kerrobertsk.com Phone: (306)834-2344 Office—Kerrobert Courthouse 433 Manitoba Ave News from the Mayor for June 2017 What a difference a month makes. Everything is green and flowers are in full bloom. Great job to Communities in Bloom and everyone for that matter with making their yards look so good. Golfing has begun, kids will soon be splashing around in the swimming pool and base- ball is in full swing. This is definitely my favorite time of year. Our outside staff will be very busy with grass cutting, tree trimming and as soon as we can get the pavement grinder from the R.M. of Oakdale, we will be tackling the streets as well. We won’t be able to do everything, but hopefully we can get to some of the worse areas such as Bosworth Street in front of the Arena and heading up the hill. There are more than a few of those types of clusters throughout town that we want to get done as soon as possible. We were also saddled with a couple of water line bursts during line flushing. We still have several water lines that are in very brittle condition and we are hopeful to get back to a program where we can be replacing these lines. We will likely be starting this year on Bulling Street between Saskatchewan and Manitoba Avenue. This line has had several breaks in the last few years and is a great candidate to start with. I got to meet with the Grade 12 class and the exchange kids from Montreal. We enjoyed a BBQ then they went on to tour the Court House / Town Offices, of course with the tales of ghosts inhabiting the building to add to the history of such a great building. Bev and Candice Kraft along with our Grade 12 students showed the Montreal kids a great time. Certainly a much different lifestyle than what they are accustomed to back in the big city of Montreal. Con’t next page News from the Mayor for June 2017 I would like to thank Kerri Seffern, Ashton Tetzlaff and Fred Arnott from the Prairie- land Players and also Kara-Lee Sieben, Colleen Mock and Jaxon Mock for helping out with the BBQ. Very much appreciated. I would also like to thank Rachael Dunn and about 20 of the high school kids for plant- ing willow trees around the landfill and up the road to the rail tracks. These will pri- marily act as a barrier to catch garbage from blowing into the surrounding fields but will also make the place look better especially once it becomes a transfer site. We still don’t know exactly when that will be. The Prairie Moon development on the East side of town is coming along great. The crews are working fast and it is still my understanding that the new businesses will be up and operational by the fall. We also have other developers wanting to do business with us. We are currently in ongoing discussions as these things sometimes take time, but we are working hard to keep the process moving forward. Until next month, keep up the great work as the town is looking better each and every day. Mayor Wayne Mock The Kerrobert Chamber of Commerce and the Mainstreet Committee will be hosting a downtown face lift party on June 14th and 15th from 8:00 am –12:00 pm and from 4:00 pm — 8:00 pm each day. Our goal is to put some lipstick and maybe a bit of blush on the old aban- doned, town owned buildings on main street. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Proposed Local Improvement Plan for Street Reconstruction in Kerrobert
    Proposed Local Improvement Plan for Street Reconstruction in Kerrobert As anyone who lives in Kerrobert or drives through Kerrobert knows, most of our streets are in dire need of rebuilding. This Council and previous Town Councils have spent considerable time, energy and cash fixing potholes and other surface defects over the last decade, just trying to keep our streets passable. Council has determined that it is time to come up with a plan to rebuild our streets so as to improve the appearance of all our neighbourhoods and to make our streets safer and easier to drive on. We have developed a three phase plan to rebuild most of the streets in Town. We have attached several plans to this report to show where works are planned: 1) Roadway Phasing Plan1 2) Phase 1 Street Replacement Plan 3) Water Main Replacement Plan 4) Sewer Replacement Plan History and Background The biggest impediment to this and previous Councils in taking on any street reconstruction program has been the condition of the utilities buried in the streets. No one has wanted to undertake the cost and disruption of properly rebuilding a street just to then have another water main break, necessitating tearing up brand new asphalt. Two recent successful grant applications have now enabled us to take care of much of the failing buried utilities. The first grant of a little more than $250K from the Small Communities Fund, has allowed us to replace 600 meters of cast iron main on the eastern three blocks of Railway Avenue. This section of main has 1 Not shown on this Plan – Phase 2 also includes Manitoba Ave.

  • Keep Liquor Sales Public So All Profits Benefit Saskatchewan Families
    Keep liquor sales public so all profits benefit Saskatchewan families Why risk losing millions in public revenue? ° All the money earned by our province's public liquor stores - $252 million last year - is returned to Saskatchewan families and communities – and helps pay for services like schools, hospitals, roads, parks and recreation. It’s NOT a choice between hospitals or liquor stores ° Don’t be fooled by Brad Wall saying that it’s a choice between spending taxpayers’ money on building new hospitals or on new liquor stores. ° A public liquor store is not a drain on provincial finances. It is a money- making asset. The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) earns more than enough revenue to cover all of the costs of building additional stores. No public tax dollars are needed to construct new liquor outlets. Each additional new store would easily pay for itself, and still earn millions - money that could help fund hospitals and schools. Four new private stores will cost taxpayers a bundle ° Government’s decision to let four new private liquor stores open – two in Regina and two in Saskatoon – will cost taxpayers between $3.5 to $7.5 million each year in lost revenue. That’s money SLGA could have earned if the new liquor stores were public. Over the years, those losses will grow, depriving families and communities of millions for needed services.1 Public system is more profitable ° Saskatchewan’s public liquor stores are more effective at generating profits for the province than private liquor systems. Alberta has lost almost $1.5 billion in revenue from liquor sales since it privatized stores in 1993.

The cash consideration consists of $100,000 to be paid upon signing of the Purchase and Sale Agreement with the balance payable no later than February 15, 2016. Non-payment of the final cash installment will result in Quattro forfeiting the initial cash deposit. The disposition is effective December 31, 2015 and is expected to close on or before February 15, 2016, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature. James Shipka, Chief Operating Officer, said “the Kerrobert property was our final producing asset in Canada. The disposition of the property will eliminate operating losses and allow our team to focus on our core onshore Trinidad producing assets.” The property contributed an average of 100 barrels of heavy oil per day during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and was a legacy Petrobank combustion project. With no intent to pursue combustion projects now or in the future, the Company had no development plans for the property.
