CIPI Newsletter – August 17th, 2012

While all of the above responsibilities are important aspects of municipal responsibility, council members are not directly responsible for providing these services. Council members' individual responsibilities can be broken as follows:  Representation and Accountability  A councilor's responsibility is to serve the people who elected them to office. A councilor should engage regularly with the public to take into account the views and concerns of all members of a community when voting on matters of concern.  Governance  Municipal council is responsible for shaping the future of the municipality by implementing new policy, by-laws and community goals. Many decisions that council makes are the result of extensive community consultation, research and advice from community members and groups. It is important for council to remember that they must represent the people who voted them to office. Failure to do so may result in a limited term in office.  Management  Members of council are generally responsible for ensuring that municipal staff follows through on the policies, priorities and direction that council has set forth. Council members should also expect to be active members of committees and boards in the community to ensure that they possess the required knowledge to pass on to council. What is the time commitment required of a council member? Many, if not most, council members have full-time jobs outside of municipal council. It's important not to underestimate the amount of time and dedication required to be an effective member or council. You will be elected to a four year term and expected to participate in monthly (sometimes bi-weekly) council meetings. Being a member of council, your responsibilities are not restricted to attending regular council meetings. In addition, you will be expected to attend and participate in:  Council committee meetings;  Meetings of boards and agencies in which you are appointed as council's representative;  Learning workshops, training seminars and conferences; and  Cultural, social and public events promoting or representing your municipality. You will also need to spend a significant amount of time talking to the public, business, colleagues in other municipalities, municipal staff and your administrator. Continuing interaction with these groups is an essential part of making an informed decision as a council member. What powers and authority are granted to municipal council? Municipal council derives their authority from The Northern Municipalities Act. Individual members of council are not permitted to make decisions on their own on behalf of the municipality. Any election promise you made during your campaign can only be carried out if you can convince a majority of council that it is in the best interest of the municipality. When you take office, you will not be starting off from scratch. There will be local legislation existing in the form of bylaws, which will remain in effect until they are amended or repealed. It would be a good idea to contact your municipality and become familiar with local legislation prior to running for council so that you have a good idea of what policies exist in your community, and what kind of changes you might want to consider. CIPI Newsletter – August 17th, 2012

Running for Municipal Office Why should I run for elected municipal office? For governments to be representative of, and responsive to, the needs of their constituents, their make-up should reflect the demographics of the constituency. As an elected official, you will  bring the perspectives of your demographic to the decision-making table  influence changes that benefit your community and ensure its sustainability  put forward new ideas for debate and possible implementation and change  make a positive difference in the quality of life in your community  provide a voice for your community with other levels of government  be part of a team that makes decisions that affect all aspects of community life Do I have the skills and knowledge required to be an elected municipal official? It’s not crucial to have education or experience in a government setting to run as a candidate. You likely have skills, knowledge and abilities that are transferable to the elected official’s role. You may want to undertake a self-assessment of your skills prior to running for elected office. Think about your: Often your experiences have taught you how to:  volunteer experience  work as part of a team  community involvement  organize and prioritize  work experience  make decisions  membership in different organizations  debate  family life  lead Am I qualified to be an elected municipal official? The Local Government Election Act (LGEA) provides the requirements for candidates in municipal elections. In the case of town, village and city elections, a person is qualified if on the day of election is 18 years of age: and at the time of submission of the nomination paper, is a Canadian citizen has resided in the municipality for at least three months and in Saskatchewan for at least six Understanding the Role, Time Commitment and Powers of Municipal Council As a member of council, you will have the opportunity to shape the future of your municipality. Any ideas or proposed changes you have in mind cannot be achieved without the support of other council members. What is the role of municipal council? A common role of municipal council is to provide essential core services to the community such as:

 Roads and transportation;  Water treatment and sewer facilities;  Snow and garbage removal;  Recreation facilities and programs;  Land use planning and economic development;

    

Building code regulations; Crime prevention; Fire prevention; Animal control; and Emergency planning.

Aboriginal Elders unanimously reject nuclear waste storage in Northern Saskatchewan The first-ever traditional Aboriginal gathering to be held in Saskatchewan exclusively on the issue of nuclear waste storage concluded earlier this week with elders from Saskatchewan and neighboring Alberta expressing unanimous rejection of proposals to establish a long-term nuclear waste storage facility in the region.

Twohundred and fifty English River residents have already signed a petition against nuclear waste storage and transportation. Another English River First Nation resident, Pat Campbell, voiced the urgency with which he believes his grandfather, William Apesis, who was chief for over 30 years, would have wished him to act in protecting the land: “We have to do something for the future. Our younger people, they’re listening to us.”

Hosted by the Committee for Future Generations in response to Elders’ everincreasing concern and call for solidarity in protecting the land, the “Survival Celebration Camp for Sustainable Earth” was held August “Why do they want to 3 - 6, 2012 at South Bay poison their own on Ile a la Crosse Lake in northern people?” asked Fred Pederson, Michif Elder Saskatchewan, bringing participating from as from Pinehouse, whose administration has also far away as Montreal, Victoria and Germany. expressed interest in hosting a repository, An Elders’ Circle held during the camp despite over half the eligible voting population brought together Dene, Cree and Saulteaux having signed the petition to oppose plans for Elders from across northern Saskatchewan nuclear storage in the area. “We can stop all of and Alberta to express their thoughts and the destruction if we band together.” Pederson feelings about the prospect of nuclear waste added. “People produce power, and we can stop this thing.” storage in their region. “All the Elders are saying the same thing: that we don’t want anything to do with nuclear waste,” said Mary Jane Wolverine, a Dene Elder from the English River First Nation. Wolverine’s community represents one of the three northern Saskatchewan communities whose administration is in Phase 3 of site selection process with the Nuclear Waste

Organizers say the camp’s success means there will another one held in the summer of 2013. “We have received the mandate from Elders. We plan on holding the same event next year,” pledged Committee for future Generations member and co-organizer Max Morin. “Only that one will be a celebration of victory in stopping nuclear waste from coming to this province.”
