To encourage participation in municipal governance and increase understanding of what it means to be on council, Municipalities of Saskatchewan has created Municipal Governance 101, a series of free virtual sessions designed for anyone who has an interest in municipal politics or who is thinking of running for council in the upcoming municipal elections.
On September 1 in Municipal Governance 101: Introduction to Local Government, learn about the role of council, what your responsibilities are as a councillor, and On September 10, Municipalities of Saskatchewan will be holding a separate session where residents from villages will have the chance to ask a panel of individuals experienced in municipal governance their questions. A separate registration is required to attend the open forum designed for communities designated as villages. Registration links are provided below. Cost is free. It is a great opportunity for interested individuals to gain some insight on roles and responsibilities.
