We sent out REMINDERS about NOMINATION DAY for resort villages.
We published a series of guest articles on WHY OUR LAKE IS GREEN.

PARCS put out a SURVEY to 25 resort villages and 80 regular villages with fewer than 100 residents regarding the NEW RULES FOR ADMINISTRATORS REQUIRING THEM TO BECOME CERTIFIED.

Looking ahead to 2021
PARCS Board members for 2021 are the same as last year, except that Jon Attig has joined us from the RV of Candle Lake, as the Director from the North East District. Welcome Jon.
The main issue facing our Board when they meet by Zoom for their first meeting on January 22 will be to consider the responses that should have come back from: DON McMORRIS (Minister of Government Relations) about PARCS PROPOSAL FOR A COMPROMISE SOLUTION FOR THOSE ADMINISTRATORS OF RESORT VILLAGES WITH FEWER THAN 100 PERMANENT RESIDENTS.
PARCS has proposed a longer timeline and an easier end-of-career certification for the many administrators who are currently being forced out of their job because of changes to certification rules that were proposed in the fall of 2020.
PARCS has also invited SARM, the Municipalities of Saskatchewan, UMAAS, and Advisory Services to weigh in on our compromise proposals.
PARCS Board hopes to be able to begin planning for a return to our usual convention format. We have space reserved for the 2021 convention on Friday and Saturday, October 15/16 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Saskatoon.
Hopefully by convention 2021,
Frosty won't need his mask!
