From Feb. 2-5, nearly 1,000 representatives from Saskatchewan’s cities, towns, villages, resort villages, and northern municipalities will gather in Regina for the 115th Annual Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) Convention.
The annual convention is an opportunity for SUMA members to bring their challenges and successes before their peers, the provincial government, and the media. Convention is also a chance to learn about the innovative projects happening all around the province and celebrate the dedication of municipal officials.
Themed Building Sustainable Hometowns, this year’s convention focuses on fostering the communities of tomorrow, exploring what’s to come for Saskatchewan’s hometowns as municipal leaders make connections, share ideas, learn from the past, and look towards the future.
The keynote address will be by Paul Wells, senior editor of Maclean’s magazine and former national affairs columnist at the Toronto Star. In more than two decades on Parliament Hill, Wells has covered seven federal elections, three prime ministers, and a big piece of Canada’s history. In his address, Wells will be sharing the inside scoop on what’s happening inside the Parliament buildings and beyond.
All events will take place at the Queensbury Convention Centre (see important events in the attached backgrounder). Media must check in at the registration desk to receive a name badge for admission
