RM DOES FIRE SYSTEMS REVIEW

The addition of a new staff member in our public works department later this summer will also help us take care of municipal infrastructure, services and programs in a more timely manner.

Finally, our 3 summer students have now all started their employment with the Municipality. Please say Hi or give a friendly wave to Taylor, Colton, and Samuel as they are out working in the area!

Earlier this year, in partnership with Deloitte, the Municipality engaged in a review of our Fire Protection Services arrangements. This review was funded through a grant awarded to the Municipality of Ste. Anne by the Municipal Service Delivery Improvement Program with the Province of Manitoba.

Over the course of several weeks, the review team did interviews with all of our surrounding municipalities as well as our own Fire Chiefs, to talk about things that work, things that don’t, and other items that could be of benefit in terms of service delivery. After further reviewing fire coverage maps and agreements that are in place, their analysis was finalized and presented to council.

From this fire systems review, Council will consider and implement the recommendations as appropriate to assist in making our fire department services more efficient and better able to respond to the needs of the Municipality.

Check out the Municipal website for more updates and announcements regarding this review in the coming months.
