Construction of Regional Landfill Project Ready to Begin
Officials of the Western Regional Landfill Inc. (WRLI) are celebrating the start of construction for the new regional landfill with a sod-turning ceremony scheduled for 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, August 30, 2017.
A total of 18 municipalities throughout west central Saskatchewan are partnering in this regional project at an overall budget of $3.75 million. The Town of Kindersley is the largest of the municipalities and will assume 46 percent ($1,664,996.58) of the total cost. The Town of Kerrobert is the second largest partner, while many of the other participating rural and urban municipalities serve populations of less than 500.
“This is a very significant undertaking for Kindersley and surrounding region, and a great example of regional cooperation by all involved,” said WRLI president Curtis Sackville. “I am proud of what we have accomplished and very excited about the economic and environmental benefits the new landfill will bring to our region.”
At its August 14 Regular Meeting, Kindersley Town Council approved a resolution to enter into a land purchase agreement with WRLI for a portion of land within the Rural Municipality of Kindersley, which will be the site of the new landfill. The land is adjacent to Teo Lake, approximately 7 miles west of Kindersley.
The WRLI Executive Board announced this week that the construction agreement with Loraas Environmental Ltd. has been executed and work is set to begin immediately. As part of the project, a new primary grid road will be constructed within the RM of Kindersley leading south from Highway 7 to the landfill […]
Highlights from August 14, 2017 Council Meeting
Resident Jason Hankewich appeared before Council to discuss the creation of an outdoor basketball court in Elks Park adjacent to the Norman Ritchie Community Centre. Council and Administration both expressed support for the project and a resolution was passed for Administration to work with Hankewich to inform and solicit support from residents in the immediate area and to address any concern prior to construction. The basketball court will be paid for by private donations. Council requested that Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Bernie Morton report back to Council on the project at Council’s next meeting in September.
Kindersley Slo-Pitch Association member Kurt Wagner was the second delegation to the meeting, updating Council on the association’s plan for proposed upgrades to the ball diamonds. Wagner was encouraged to work closely with the Kindersley Regional Park in future planning as the land on which the slo-pitch diamonds are located falls within the park authority’s jurisdiction.
Council directed Administration to waive the non-primetime ice rental fees applied to the Iron Horse Kindersley Klippers for the 2017-18 season; and to apply a rate of $900 plus GST per regular season game held in the West Central Events Centre during the 2017-18 season.
Mayor Rod Perkins and the CAO were directed by resolution to enter into the formal Land Purchase Agreement with Western Regional Landfill Inc. for land within the Rural Municipality of Kindersley pertaining to the construction of the new regional landfill west of Kindersley.
Due to lack of recent participation and interest, Council resolved to terminate the Recreation […]
Highlights from July 17, 2017 Council Meeting
Resident Brent Bacon addressed Council to share his concern about the lack of local representation on the Development Appeals Board. Gord Krismer and Associates were appointed to serve as the Town’s current Development Appeals Board in 2015 after attempts to recruit new local members were unsuccessful. Council said the current appointment is working well but expressed a willingness to advertise for local members to form the board once the board’s terms expires on December 31, 2017.
Council authorized the Town’s Department of Transportation and Environmental Services to serve as the Owner’s Advisor for the design build of the Western Regional Landfill Project.
Council approved the discretionary use for offices at 1302 5th St East. The approval was on the condition that no written submissions from assessed property owners within the 75 metre boundary are received prior to 4:00 pm July 19, 2017 as per a notification requirement in the Zoning Bylaw 04-14. The discretionary use must also comply with the Development Standards of Discretionary Use in the Zoning Bylaw.

This approval was given on the basis of identical conditions that no written submissions from assessed property owners within the 75 metre boundary are received prior to 4:00 pm July 19, 2017 and compliance with the Development Standards of Discretionary Use. The applicant must also obtain a Town of Kindersley business license from the town prior to operation, and for every subsequent year […]

Construction of New Indoor Aquatic Centre Now Underway
Officials gathered at the site of Kindersley’s new indoor aquatic centre this morning to celebrate the ceremonial turning of sod that signals the start of construction.
The 21,000 ft2 facility will boast a Junior Olympics-size 6-lane pool, a 2500 ft2 leisure pool, hot tub, 150 ft waterslide, rock climbing wall, party rooms, and outdoor patio, among other features. Construction is scheduled to be complete for the pool to be operational by October 2018.
The aquatic centre will be constructed on the site of the previous swimming pool, which was closed in June 2014 due to structural issues. Portions of the building will be repurposed within the design of the new indoor aquatic centre.

“We have all been waiting eagerly for this day to come and I’m pleased to see the work beginning for Kindersley’s new indoor pool,” said Mayor Rod Perkins. “This is a community project in every way, and I encourage everyone to work together in making it a success. The coming months will focus on sponsorship and fundraising while construction is underway.”
Approximately $1.1 million is already dedicated in Town reserves for the project. An additional $100,000 to date has been generated through the fundraising efforts of the Big Dippers. Total cost of the indoor aquatic centre is $6.6 million. Information about sponsorship opportunities will be announced shortly.
