Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Study reveals provincial gov’t presence declining in Moose Jaw

By Lisa Goudy


Moose Jaw has been experiencing a downward trend in provincial government presence in the city.

Two researchers — Angela Markel and Irene Zadnik — were hired by the economic development commission (EDC) in April 2012 to do a review of the presence from 1990 to 2012 at a cost of $10,000. Markel was ill for Tuesday night’s council meeting, but Zadnik presented the findings to council.

The institutions examined were SIAST, provincial public service employees, SaskWater, SaskTel and Valley View Centre, which is slated for closure in 2016.

“Moose Jaw has been left behind compared to Saskatoon,” said Zadnik.
