The Planning and Development Act, 2007 (the P&D Act), provides municipalities with the framework to provide for orderly and structured development in all municipalities, both urban and rural, in Saskatchewan. It is important that the documents and bylaws that the P&D Act authorizes municipal councils to use in order to control and manage development are both current and relevant.

With this in mind, the council of the Rural Municipality of Moose Jaw No. 161 has engaged a planning consultant, Tim Cheesman, to assist in developing and creating a new OCP, and conduct a review and revision of our existing Zoning Bylaw. Mr. Cheesman has an extensive planning background in Saskatchewan, has a knowledge of the Moose Jaw District and has successfully and creatively worked with R.M. council on planning and development issues in the past. Mr. Cheesman has assembled a team to assist him, which includes Dwight Mercer, who brings an extensive and impressive resume with him, including an engineering background and time spent as an employee of the Saskatchewan Water Corporation. The team will also be creating new mapping to accompany and compliment the new OCP and revised Zoning Bylaw.
