M.L. public works manager wins provincial award
Mike Morrant, the public works manager for the City of Meadow Lake, said he loves his job because it’s something new every day and he gets to interact with good people.
The 15-year veteran of the department became the manager about five years ago, and at a recent conference for professionals in the field, he was honoured with the Public Works Person of the Year title. The award, which is given by the Saskatchewan Public Works Association (SPWA), recognizes outstanding service.
Morrant said he was surprised and humbled, as he simply attended this year’s event in Moose Jaw this year to participate in the learning sessions and take in the tradeshow.
“I got down there and I didn’t have a clue,” he said. “I was just standing around watching the awards given out and they called my name. It’s amazing.”
