Welcome to Municipal Affairs.

Today, we're turning our spotlight toward one of Saskatchewan’s most dynamic and expansive regions — the Rural Municipality of Corman Park.

Stretching across over 2200 square kilometres and wrapping around the City of Saskatoon, Corman Park is more than just a boundary; it’s a blend of thriving agriculture, emerging development, and rich community spirit. It’s a place where the rural and the urban meet — and sometimes collide — creating both challenge and opportunity.

Joining us today are two key voices helping to steer this vast and vital municipality into the future: Reeve, the Honourable Joe Hargrave, and Chief Administrative Officer Kerry Hilts. Together, they bring leadership and insight into how Corman Park is navigating a changing landscape — literally and politically.

We’ll be asking the big questions: What’s the current state of the RM? What are the most pressing issues facing Corman Park — whether it's land use, infrastructure demands, taxation, or bylaw enforcement over such a sprawling area? And how does the council and administration come together to solve them?

We’ll also explore how the RM balances the pressures of urban expansion from Saskatoon with the need to preserve its rural character, as well as opportunities for development, economic diversification, and collaboration with Indigenous communities and neighbouring governments.

And looking forward, what does the future hold? Whether it’s in tourism, recreation, or attracting new residents and businesses, what is the long-term vision for Corman Park in five, ten, even twenty-five years?

It’s a conversation that touches on growth, governance, and what it truly means to lead a rural municipality in today’s Saskatchewan.

Let’s dive in.
