2012 RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN
My first term is almost in the books! Re-election campainging is upon me!
I have been blessed to serve Warman as councillor for the past term! I have enjoyed my experience as a council member and all of my committee service. I have made new friendships, promoted Warman, networked with other jurisdictions and become a stronger public citizen. It has been time consuming work; but enjoyable time consuming work! I must admit, "I love this role!" and "I enjoy being a part of Warman and it's council!"

The Speaker: — I recognize the Minister of Central Services. (Warman Becomes Saskatchewan’s Newest City)
Hon. Ms. Heppner: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I stand today to offer my congratulations to Warman, Saskatchewan’s newest city. Tomorrow residents of Warman will make their city status official with a signing ceremony and celebration.
Mr. Speaker, Warman is one of Canada’s fastest growing communities. In the 2006 census the population of Warman was almost 5,000 people — 4,764. Just five years later, Warman’s population increased by almost 50 per cent to over 7,000 residents. And, Mr. Speaker, this government is working to make sure that Warman continues to be ready for growth. A new middle year school is under construction and will be ready to be opened in the fall of 2013. A newly redesigned Highway 305 is funded. This new highway will meet the growing traffic and economic opportunities in Warman. And, Mr. Speaker, this government has increased revenue sharing to Warman by 192 per cent since 2007.
The population growth in my area is a combination of Saskatchewan people coming back home, folks moving here from across Canada, and immigrants from around the globe. And, Mr. Speaker, we welcome them all. I would like to extend congratulations to the newly elected, first ever city council and to all residents of Saskatchewan’s newest city. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
