HYDRANT FLUSHING MAY 2023

Celebrating Saskatchewan Tourism Week April 15-19, 2024 Saskatchewan is blessed with beautiful scenery, amazing parks and great communities. This year, Saskatchewan Tourism Week will be a time to encourage Saskatchewan residents to discover something new this summer – to plan road trips through the province, try new activities, taste different flavours and explore unique, authentic experiences that set Saskatchewan apart from other destinations.

We’re enjoying the longer days and sunshine in Shaunavon! View our April Community Newsletter below, giving a quick look at some recent announcements! A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL “With the recent adoption of the 2024 Budget, we are proud to announce the approval of an operating budget of $5,854,178 and $1,067,501 in capital expenditures, with a net property tax levy requirement of $2,213,683.

The Town of Shaunavon will be pursuing efforts in managing gopher populations this spring to decrease negative impacts of gophers which includes land/property damage, disease transmission, and walking hazards. To accomplish this, Rozol (a grain-treated pesticide) will be placed in bait stations where gopher ingestion of the grain-fed pesticide will cause extermination a few days later.

The Town of Shaunavon believes the safety and wellbeing of our children is essential, and works closely with our local RCMP to provide safety initiatives and execute programs to educate and promote safety in our community! At the April 2nd Council meeting, Council proclaimed May 12th to 18th, 2024 as Bicycle Safety Week in the Town of Shaunavon!

The 2024 consolidated operating and capital budget was adopted by Shaunavon Council members at the Regular Council Meeting on March 19, 2024. View the 2024 Budget Report below. The full 2024 consolidated operating and capital budget is available to be viewed on the Town of Shaunavon website at https://www.shaunavon.com/page/public-notice-reports/
