New public works foreman

Carrot River’s public works foreman resigns

Apr 29, 2021 | 3:56 PM

Carrot River’s public works foreman has resigned and town council has announced his replacement.

Milton Wood has been with The Town of Carrot River for nearly 19 years and his last day will be Friday.

“I’ve really enjoyed looking after people and just going to work every day and making sure everyone was safe,” Wood said. “It was time to move on. People in town have been good. It’s not a job. It’s a lifestyle. Things need to be fixed and you try and stay ahead of it as best you can. You’ve got to enjoy what you’re doing.”

Wood has accepted a job offer to work for Associated Engineering in Saskatoon.

“It’s basically the same as what I do now but it’s for the engineering firm instead,” Wood said.
