Nipawin presents benefits of partnerships at SUMA Conference
Day three of the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) convention rolls on, and it serves as an opportunity for the Town of Nipawin to continue learning and networking.
The Town of Nipawin presented at the SUMA Convention, an occasion which Mayor Rennie Harper mentioned didn’t happen often, and chose to centre its presentation around the benefits of partnerships and encouraged other municipalities to build on them.
“Former council also encouraged partnerships and we continued to build on those things,” Harper told northeastNOW. “It does mean there has to be ongoing conversations and that sometimes not everybody agrees, and you have to find ways to come to some kind of consensus. Most of that is keeping in mind the goal you’re trying to get to; you’re looking at what’s best for the entire region.
