SUMA lobbies in Ottawa
The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) was in Ottawa this week.
The umbrella organization, which represents and lobbies on behalf of the province’s cities, towns and villages met with a number of federal politicians to discuss a variety of issues.
“One of the issue has been wondering if energy east will come back onto the table for discussion, SUMA’s been quite strong in the past with resolutions at the convention on support for piplines in Canada,” SUMA president Gordon Barnhart said.
Along with economic issues like pipelines, Barnhart said environmental issues like climate change were also part of the group’s agenda.
