SasKPower is going to be conducting a vegetation maintenance assessment for SaskPower on Distribution line 3F-42, which runs through properties within the RM.
They will be patrolling to identify vegetation that is encroaching on the powerlines and presents a safety hazard to the safe and reliable operation of the SaskPower network. They will be in contact with landowners and RM offices if they identify any work on those properties.
The vegetation assessor will be driving a White Chevrolet Silverado with Davey Resource Group decals and an Orange beacon.

Good afternoon, Buckland!
We have received several requests from our ratepayers to observe the upcoming vote on Bylaw 12 of 2024, which involves rezoning Blk/Par B, Plan 97PA20417 from Agriculture to Highway Commercial, to accommodate a service station and liquor store on Highway 2. The Council will cast their votes on this matter during our Regular Council Meeting on Monday, February 10th, 2024, at 1:30 PM.
Just a reminder that this is to observe only and not a public hearing.
During our Council Meeting at 9:55 am on December 9, 2024, the Council has voted to postpone the vote on the re zoning to commercial property. The vote will take place at our February 2025 Council meeting. This will give the Council as well as other parties a chance for potentially another public meeting or town hall.
The RM and Buckland Fire and Rescue have been working toward a mutual goal of having the fire levies added to the municipal taxes as an essential service fee starting in 2025!
This ensures that ALL ratepayers will be covered for up to $30,000 in fire fighting costs each year. Provided of course, that you are following all Fire Ban orders and making sure you report your controlled burns.
