The village office will be closed July 28, July 29, and August 3 due to holidays.  Please leave any correspondence in the mail slot.

Sask Energy is now accepting applications for new gas line installations in the Village with the exception of the retired area around Loney’s Ave.  Please go to www.saskenergy.com and apply online under residential resort applications.  All questions are to be directed to Sask Energy.

Please take note that permits are required for almost everything done within the Village whether it be building or excavating.   Please check with the office before beginning any construction projects to get all the necessary paperwork and approvals in place first.  There may be some cases where it is not needed but we would prefer to have the heads up about it.   This will also eliminate neighbors and council members asking if a permit is in place when they see construction taking place.  Everything must go to a council meeting for approval which are held monthly so please plan well in advance of your project start date.  No approvals will be given prior to a meeting and there may be fines implemented for not complying and doing things without a permit.

Cypress Paving will be working on widening parts of Tatanka Drive this week.  Please drive with caution.

Due to the amount of rainfall this past week, we have lifted the fire restriction.  We still ask that you be responsible when having outdoor fires.  Always be in attendance, and always have a water source readily available.  Thank you and be safe.

Beaches and playgrounds are once again open to the public according to phase 3 of the re-open Saskatchewan plan.  Please visit www.saskatchewan.ca regarding the current public health guidelines.  Please also note that the beaches and playgrounds are unstaffed so it is recommended that you sanitize before and after use and use at your own risk.

The provincial government has announced that the general election for resort villages has been pushed back from July 25 to August 29 due to COVID-19.  Please check back here for more information and details in the next couple weeks.

Effective June 1, 2020 the municipal office building is now open to the public.  Please note the washrooms are closed for public use.

Just a heads up that oiling will begin in Sand Point on Tuesday, June 2 and various other road projects will be taking place over the first few weeks in June.
