Saskatoon Light and Power will not be presenting their report to Council on Wednesday, August 18th. Apparently, it isn't ready. And the issues are proving too controversial. Saskatoon City Council does not make decisions about controversial issues in the summer.
This may be good news, of a sort. Maybe the Whitewater Hydro project just won't float?
So now let's go back to enjoying the (ahem) "summer."
It's a good thing we all look so dashing in fleece...

City Council Meeting, August 18th, 7 pm
Yo Pelicanistas,
An ad hoc group of citizens is making a brief (20 minute) presentation to council Wednesday, August 18th, at 7 pm. They would dearly love to have some support from like-minded citizens. Please come out and help fill a few seats in the council chamber gallery. City Council needs to know that our objections to the disneyfication of the weir are substantial and on-going.
Here's a preview from the beginning of the presentation:
"I am part of a group of concerned citizens and taxpayers of Saskatoon who have serious questions about the immediate and long-term viability of the proposed Whitewater/Hydro project. Our questions were not adequately addressed during the public presentations held by the City. We are troubled by the public engagement process which is severely limited feedback and due diligence in terms of meaningful evaluation of the project and accountability on a variety of issues. ...Our questions fall into four broad categories: environmental, social, health and safety, and cost and project feasibility. "
If you share these concerns, come out Wednesday to City Hall (222 3rd Ave North) at 7 pm.
Hope you are enjoying the summer, despite the weather!
