TEAMWORK – Who says you’re too young to make a difference? Not the Tieszen family who recently got their whole gang together to transform their yard into a sight to behold. Pictured are dad Jon Tieszen and daughters Amaya, Kiara (twins), Jucika and Siraya (baby). Mom Crystal Tieszen, who captured and submitted the photo, says as parents they find working together creates memories and also teaches the children that good things come from hard work and perseverance.

– province eyes new motorcycle policy
SGI has announced it is taking steps to become one of the first insurance companies in the world to use telematics technology for motorcycles. Often called usage-based insurance, some insurers have started using telematics devices in vehicles to record driving information, such as speed, braking, mileage and driving location in order to determine the risk of a claim associated with a vehicle. SGI today issued an Advanced Contract Award Notice (ACAN) through SaskTenders, seeking a vendor to supply telematics technology for motorcycles for a planned pilot program. The Motorcycle Review Committee, a group of key stakeholders formed by SGI to help address rating issues affecting motorcycles, was unanimously in favour of the pilot program. With the help of the Motorcycle Review Committee, SGI will be looking for several hundred Saskatchewan riders to volunteer to have a telematics device installed on their bike. No rates would be impacted during the pilot, as the purpose is information gathering only. It’s possible the pilot could begin this riding season, pending availability of volunteers, devices and installation. “We’re eager to get the pilot program underway so we can really investigate this technology and get feedback from the volunteers about what the user experience is like,” SGI President and CEO Andrew Cartmell comments. “The program we’re planning to pilot would give riders weekly updates on their driving behaviour, to show them what information an insurer would be looking at. But even more importantly, we anticipate a positive impact on traffic safety as riders are more aware of their driving behaviour, which hopefully will mean fewer collisions, and associated injuries and fatalities.” SGI will provide information on how riders can volunteer as soon as details of the pilot are finalized. This pilot is the first outcome of SGI’s work with the Motorcycle Review Committee. SGI and the committee also discussed a number of other ways to address concerns regarding traffic safety programs, rating structure and injury benefit levels. A discussion document is currently being finalized and will be released to the public in mid-June for their feedback.

The City of Yorkton’s Logan Green Water Management System has been a point of pride for the city, and it continues to be recognized nationally. The city was presented with the 2013 Willis Award for Innovation from the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators. The treatment plant was recognized for being one of the greenest in Canada, in particular the way it handles backwash water through a series of settling ponds to ensure it doesn’t go through
