On Tuesday May 28th and Wednesday May 29th Public Works will be doing routine hydrant flushing in Shaunavon. Shaunavon’s fire hydrants are connected to the potable drinking water system, where hydrant flushing is performed twice a year to remove any settled sediment, contributing to the Town of Shaunavon’s Water Quality Improvement Strategy.
The Town of Shaunavon believes the safety and wellbeing of our residents is essential, and works closely with our local RCMP to provide safety initiatives and execute programs for youth to educate and promote safety in our community!
With the positive feedback received from the Positive Ticketing Program last year, the Town of Shaunavon and local RCMP have decided to reinitiate Project Positivity in 2024! Officers will hand out positive tickets to youths “caught in the act” demonstrating road safety behaviours throughout the community from May through September 2024. Youth who receive a ticket may redeem it at the local business written on the back to receive a small prize or treat, with a GRAND PRIZE draw at the end of the program! To coincide with positive ticketing, Shaunavon’s Regional Bylaw Officer and local RCMP Officers have partnered with the Shaunavon schools to host a Bike Rodeo for youth on May 15th, 2024, in conjunction with Council’s proclamation of Bicycle Safety week May 12th to May 18th . Youth will learn safe bicycle behaviours, and receive fun bicycle safety kits and prizes courtesy of the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute and SGI!
