Catching Up With SARM President Bill Huber

In rural Saskatchewan, the issues facing municipalities don’t slow down — and neither does the advocacy happening behind the scenes.

From concerns around the use of strychnine on farms, to the growing conversation around critical minerals and resource development, to an upcoming trip to Ottawa to bring Saskatchewan priorities directly to the national stage, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities has been active on many fronts.

These are issues that touch agriculture, economic development, public safety, and the long-term sustainability of rural communities — and they’re shaping the conversations municipalities are having as they head into the busy summer season.

We caught up with Bill Huber to discuss the past month, where rural municipalities across Saskatchewan are focusing their attention, the advocacy work happening across the province and country, and what comes next.

This is Municipal Affairs.
