'Tis the season to share wisdom!

Board of Directors Planning Weekend

On December 2nd and 3rd, S.A.R.P.'s Board of Directors met in Saskatoon to work with Shari Hildred of Valmore Consulting. The two days included several key areas of focus, including important governance and future planning development.

The Board is excited to continue to develop the work of the sessions made possible through a Community Initiatives Fund (CIF) Grant for December 2nd and support from the Sask Lotteries through the SPRA Leadership Development Grant for the December 3rd session.

A huge thank you to CIF and Sask Lotteries!

S.A.R.P.'s Website Had a Facelift
