Working Together to Keep Our Neighbourhoods Clean and Safe
Help keep Martensville beautiful, healthy, and safe! The City reminds residents that it’s the responsibility of homeowners to maintain their properties year-round by clearing waste, managing overgrown lawns, controlling weeds, and removing dilapidated structures.
Overgrown vegetation, especially weeds, aren’t just unsightly to look at. The spread of seeds can make future weed control more difficult while overgrown plants can attract nuisance animals like mice, who seek shelter in adjacent garages, sheds, and homes as the weather cools.
Under the Nuisance Abatement Bylaw, it’s everyone’s duty to monitor, control, and report any issues that arise. Let’s work together to keep our city looking its best.
Reducing Foxtail From City Limits
The City of Martensville is responding to reports of foxtail around the city and is taking action to clear it from our parks and fields and is working with property owners on back lanes and residential properties.
Foxtail may appear harmless with its fluffy, cream-coloured seeds, but it can pose a real, even life threatening, danger to our pets. While rare, it can also cause minor issues for people, like getting stuck in clothing or even mild respiratory concerns.
Keep an eye out for foxtail now and into the fall to help us reduce nuisance weeds in the city. For more information and best practices around controlling foxtail, visit Martensville > Waste & Recycling > Back Lane and General Clean-up. \
The Back Lane and General Clean-Up Program is Back
The City of Martensville is pleased to announce the upcoming annual ‘Lane and General Clean-up’ program. This initiative allows residents to dispose of items that are not accepted during regular garbage pick-ups. For more information and dates for pick-up, head to Martensville.ca > Services for Residents > Waste & Recycling > Back Lane and General Clean-up
Saskatchewan Retail Trade Remains Nation Leading
Province Ranks Second in Year-Over-Year Retail Trade Growth
Statistics Canada's latest retail trade figures for June 2024 place Saskatchewan second among the provinces for year-over-year growth. The province's retail trade sales increased by 3.4 per cent in June 2024 compared to June 2023 (seasonally-adjusted), totaling $2.1 billion.
"Saskatchewan continues to be a national leader in this key economic indicator, which is a reflection of our strong and growing economy," Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. "We are seeing unprecedented investment into our province with the lowest inflation rate and strongest job growth in the country. Our government will continue to protect and promote Saskatchewan's industries to ensure we remain the best place to do business. This economic growth creates new job opportunities and helps build strong and vibrant communities across the province."
The Monthly Retail Trade Survey compiles data on sales, including e-commerce sales, and the amount of retail locations by province, territory and selected census metropolitan areas from a sample of retailers.
Retail sales is a measure of total receipts at stores, or establishments, that sell goods and services to final consumers.
The provincial economy continues to see substantial growth. Saskatchewan currently has the lowest rate of inflation according to the Consumer Price Index, at 1.6 per cent.
Statistics Canada's latest GDP numbers also indicate that Saskatchewan's 2023 real GDP reached an all-time high of $77.9 billion, increasing by $1.2 billion, or 1.6 per cent. This places Saskatchewan second in the nation for real GDP growth, and above the national average of 1.2 per cent.
Private capital investment is projected to reach $14.2 billion in 2024, an increase of 14.4 per cent over 2023. This is the highest anticipated percentage increase in Canada.
The province has released "Securing the Next Decade of Growth: Saskatchewan's Investment Attraction Strategy," in conjunction with the launch of the investSK.ca website. These initiatives are positioned to amplify growth in Saskatchewan, serving as pivotal instruments in driving further development.

Memorial Slo-Pitch Tournament Being Held in Honour of Loved Martensville Resident
Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 7th as the annual Mike Smith Memorial Slo-Pitch Tournament will be taking place that day.
A total of 14 teams will be competing in the oneday tournament at the Martensville Slo-Pitch Diamonds. Mike Smith passed away in May of 2023 after a hardfought battle with cancer. A tournament had been organized to help raise funds to assist with expenses to bring Mike home to Martensville from the hospital; however, the tournament was modified to a celebration of life following his passing.
Many gathered to honour Smith, who was a beloved member of the community and made an impact on all who knew him, so it was decided the tournament would continue in his name, with all funds raised going towards helping others, something Smith was well known for.
The September 7th tournament will include a 50/50 draw, beer gardens ran by the local Kinsmen Club, a concession operated by Par-a-Dice Grill, a slideshow, and a ‘Rewind Rule’.
“Players can pay $20 before the game and rewind any play at any point throughout the game, so if someone hits a grand slam, you can say that you want to rewind the play and everybody goes back to their original places. We did it last year and it was a lot of fun, and another way that we can raise some extra money in honour of Mike,” event organizer and friend of Mike Smith, Angie Reddekopp stated.
Everyone is invited out to watch some great ball, enjoy some food, take part in the 50/50, and just come together in honour of Smith.
“This is an opportunity to all get together and remember a great man who loved his family, his friends and his community,” Reddekopp added.
ABOVE: Congratulations to the A Side winners of the Martensville Slo-Pitch League, The Slackers. Although the weather delayed games on Saturday, the tournament was able to go on the rest of the weekend.

More than 100 Charges Laid in ATM/Vehicle Theft Investigation
On the morning of November 18, a Saskatoon RCMP officer, responding to a report of an alarm, pulled up to a business in its detachment area. In front of them was a severely damaged door and a heavy-duty chain. Investigation determined that a vehicle pulled up to the business, and suspects broke into the building, affixed the chain to an ATM inside of it and used the vehicle to pull it out and steal it, along with approximately $20,000 worth of cigarettes. The ATM was later located in a field not far away.
The incident was one of several ATM thefts that occurred in Saskatchewan RCMP jurisdiction in 2023.
“As our provincial police service, Saskatchewan RCMP is uniquely outfitted to make links between, and investigate, crimes in multiple jurisdictions,” says Insp. Ashley Levy, Saskatchewan RCMP’s Central District Operations Officer. “That’s exactly what happened in this case – Saskatoon RCMP took the lead in investigating a potential string of crimes, with the assistance of many other RCMP detachments and specialized units.”
These included Saskatchewan RCMP’s Forensic Identification Services, General Investigation Section and Warrant Enforcement and Suppression Team.
Officers continued to investigate by analyzing evidence, including surveillance video taken at scenes of crimes. As a result, on March 9, 2024, officers arrested an adult male on Highway #11, south of Saskatoon.
As a result of continued investigation, 58-year-old Wesley John from Saskatoon was charged with 12 offences, including break and enter and possession of property obtained by crime. He was found to be breaching a conditional sentence order.
Officers continued to investigate after his arrest. They determined that more than 20 incidents that were reported to police throughout Saskatchewan were connected. They included six ATM thefts and many thefts of motor vehicles. The attached map shows where in Saskatchewan these connected incidents occurred.
On August 1, 2024, officers executed a search warrant at a residence on One Arrow First Nation. An adult male was arrested there.
As a result of continued investigation, Wesley John and 49-year-old Kelly Almightyvoice from One Arrow First Nation have each been charged with 24 counts of break and enter, 12 counts of possession of the proceeds of crime and 14 counts of wearing a disguise while committing an offence.
Wesley John is next scheduled to appear in court in Saskatoon Provincial Court on August 29, 2024 (Information #90530230). Kelly Almightyvoice appeared in Saskatoon Provincial Court on August 21, 2024 (Information #90529847).
“I’m proud of the work of Saskatoon RCMP investigators and the many other police officers and staff from across the division who came together and were able to prove these crimes were connected – and identify the suspects,” says Insp. Levy. “Together, they have solved more than 20 property crimes that affected victims throughout Saskatchewan RCMP jurisdiction.”
Female Arrested on Murder Charge Following Report to Warman RCMP
On August 23, 2024 at approximately 7 a.m., Warman RCMP received a report of an injured male at a residence in the RM of Corman Park.
Officers located the injured male, who was declared deceased by EMS at the scene.
As a result of investigation, an adult female was arrested in the RM of Corman Park.
Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes took carriage of the investigation and have charged 35-year-old Lauren Besse from the RM of Corman Park with one count of first degree murder, Section 235(1), Criminal Code.
The male, who was 42 years old, has been identified. We are not naming him as per his family’s wishes.
Lauren Besse will appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court on August 26, 2024 (Information #90196216).
Partial Fire Ban

Ground Breaks for Saskatchewan Polytechnic's New Campus in Saskatoon
On August 26th, Advanced Education Minister Colleen Young and SaskBuilds and Procurement Minister Terry Jenson joined Saskatoon community members, dignitaries, and Saskatchewan Polytechnic faculty and staff to break ground on the site of the first building for the new Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Joseph A. Remai Saskatoon Campus at Innovation Place.
"It is exciting to see this project move forward with site preparations now getting underway," Young said. "Whether it is working as a mechanic, electrician, welder, plumber, or in any of the many other skilled trades, a skilled workforce helps build our province and offers rewarding career opportunities that support our growing economy in line with our government's Growth Plan and Labour Market Strategy."
The new Skilled Trades and Technology building will be the first part of the new campus to be constructed, with initial site preparation to include removal or upgrading of underground infrastructure, tree relocation and grading. Earthmoving equipment will arrive on site and fencing will be erected this week.
"Today, we are beginning earth works and upgrading utilities for this project to ensure our postsecondary students in Saskatchewan have the bright future they deserve," Jenson said. "Thanks to a strong and growing economy our government is delivering modern, innovative infrastructure that meets the needs of our thriving province now and into the future."
The new campus will transform an existing network of several decentralized, outdated buildings into a revitalized, modern, technology-rich learning environment for students and greater opportunities for applied research and investment.
"The new Saskatchewan Polytechnic campus at Innovation Place will strengthen the province's innovation ecosystem, creating new education and employment opportunities in existing and emerging industries," Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said. "This cutting-edge Innovation Corridor will enhance collaboration between industry, academic institutions and government, making Saskatchewan more competitive in attracting investment and accelerating innovative technologies."
Design and pre-procurement work is still underway. A major capital procurement is targeted for early 2025, with construction beginning as early as 2026.
"This is a significant and exciting milestone for the Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Joseph A. Remai Saskatoon Campus," Saskatchewan Polytechnic president and CEO Dr. Larry Rosia said. "I have looked forward to this day for many years! This campus will be at the forefront of applied learning across Saskatchewan, improving the student experience and growing our capacity for applied research and collaboration. Our modern, 21st century learning environments will prepare students to enter the workforce fully equipped and ready to contribute from day one, and will provide industry with the skilled and talented workforce they require now and throughout the future."
"I choose to attend Sask Polytech for the handson learning and experience it deliverers," Design and Manufacturing Engineering Technology student in the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Nutrien School of Mining, Manufacturing and Engineering Technologies Liam Walsh said. "The new, modern campus will bring students together and provide exciting learning opportunities. It will attract more students from Saskatchewan and around the world, and ensure we are ready for the workplaces of the future. It is an exciting time to be a student at Sask Polytech."
"The University of Saskatchewan is proud to support the Government of Saskatchewan's exciting initiative to create a new home for Saskatchewan Polytechnic, as we work together to further strengthen the province's postsecondary education priorities, and advance innovation and collaboration," University of Saskatchewan President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Peter Stoicheff said. "The co-location of this expanding hub for education and innovation will bring students, staff, faculty, and researchers together with a cluster of businesses and industry entrepreneurs to grow exciting applied learning, research, and development possibilities."
The 2024-25 Provincial Budget includes $6 million for continued planning and design of the new campus and since 2022-23, the province has provided $16 million for the project. The Government of Saskatchewan announced in September 2023 that it would commit up to $200 million toward the new campus.
The project is led by the Ministry of SaskBuilds and Procurement and Saskatchewan Polytechnic, in partnership with the Ministry of Advanced Education, Innovation Saskatchewan and the University of Saskatchewan.
MLA Terry Jenson’s Report from the Legislature
Saskatchewan Harvest Underway
The end of summer is in sight and harvest is officially underway here in Saskatchewan. Harvest is the culmination of the hard work, dedication and resiliency of Saskatchewan producers.
Our producers are known around the world as sustainable and reliable suppliers of high-quality, nutritious and safe agri-food products. Saskatchewan saw a 27 per cent increase in agri-food export volume in 2023 and hopes to continue this trend with another successful harvest. We wish everyone a safe and bountiful finish to the 2024 growing season.
Regulating Cell Phone Usage in K-12 Schools
As we approach the end of summer, it’s also time for Saskatchewan’s students to get ready to head back to school. In preparation for the start of the 2024-25 school year, our government recently announced cell phones will not be permitted during class time in all K-12 schools.
Technology has its place, but all too often, cell phones are taking students’ attention away from what they are learning. This new policy will allow students to be more engaged with their teachers and focused on learning the skills and knowledge they need to reach their potential.
Investments into School Infrastructure
Our government is committed to investing in Saskatchewan students, which is why since 2008, approximately $2.6 billion has been invested in school infrastructure projects. This includes 69 new schools and 32 major renovation projects with an additional seven projects through the Minor Capital Renewal Program. Investments like this into Saskatchewan’s education system are only possible due to a strong and growing economy. Our government remains committed to investing in economic growth by telling Saskatchewan’s story abroad.
Exports Continue to Grow
Numbers from the first quarter of the 2024-25 fiscal year show exports to Indonesia have increased by 97.6 per cent over the first quarter of last year. The total export value was $279.7 million, driven by a 490.5 per cent increase in potash exports. Exports to Peru increased by 19.4 per cent over the same period last year, for a total value of $105.5 million, driven by exports of non-durum wheat. Exports to Morocco and China also increased by 12.4 per cent and 8.7 per cent, respectively.
Additionally, during the first quarter of the year, our government hosted 12 incoming diplomatic delegations, resulting in multiple agreements being signed between Saskatchewan and international partners.
Saskatchewan's international efforts have also delivered successes in trade. In April, Saskatchewan's Mexico office assisted Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership (STEP) to lead eight Saskatchewan companies in a trade mission to Peru and Mexico. This resulted in over 186 business-to-business connections and sales of over $1 million in agricultural commodities.
Saskatchewan continues to reach new heights on the global stage, and these successes are resulting in new opportunities, more jobs, and increased investment for the benefit of people and businesses in Saskatchewan.
Critical Mineral Development in Saskatchewan
Here at home, our critical minerals sector continues to grow and our government is investing in that growth. Applications are now open for two new critical minerals incentive programs, which will drive investment and innovation in Saskatchewan’s critical minerals industry from extraction to processing.
The Critical Minerals Processing Investment Incentive (CMPII) and the Saskatchewan Critical Minerals Innovation Incentive (SCMII) targets 11 critical minerals found in the province, which are all essential to global economies, national security and everyday life. The CMPII supports value-added processing projects, while the SCMII supports commercial innovation projects.
The Saskatchewan critical minerals advantage is clear. The Fraser Institute has ranked Saskatchewan as the best jurisdiction in Canada and third in the world for mining investment attractiveness. These new, targeted incentives will help in protecting and promoting Saskatchewan’s continued leadership on a global scale into the future.
As our government continues this work, I look forward to hearing from you with questions, comments or feedback. You can reach me at office@ terryjenson.ca or at 306-242-2111.

Sculptors in the Park Draws Big Crowd
Jocelyn Ottenbreit, Martensville Messenger
For several weeks in August, residents of Martensville had the opportunity to watch a display of artists who are members of the Prairie Sculptors’ Association (PSA) build their masterpieces at the Martensville Athletic Pavilion.
‘Sculptors in the Park’ was partnered with the PSA and the City of Martensville from August 6 – 16.
Participating sculptors Paul Constable, Kevin Quinlan, Lee Fuller, Ted Uchacz, Sandy Martens, Ellery Russell, James Korpan, Laurie Afseth and Zoltan Markan were on-site daily creating 10 large public sculptures on location.
On August 16th, the big reveal and entertainment finale began at 6pm with live fiddle music followed by a theatrical dance and entertainment production choreographed in and around the sculptures. The infamous College Nine closed the program.
The Grand Finale event featured the completion of a “glyph”, which is an idea that stems from the petroglyphs that are images etched into stone by ancient peoples. Students from Martensville High School created this glyph in a concrete structure that is permanently displayed outside the main entrance to the school.
The PSA is based out of Saskatoon and is comprised of members from across the province. Members’ skill sets vary from anything such as ironwork, black-smithing, stone carving, wood, bronze casting, ceramics, clay, recycled materials and more.
All sculptures will be on display around Martensville until September 2027.
