OMBUDSMAN ANNOUNCES NEW SERVICE
Public Can Now Make Complaints Online

Saskatchewan’s Ombudsman, Kevin Fenwick, today announced a new service that will make it easier for people to connect with his office: people who believe a provincial government service has been unfair to them can now register their complaints online. The online form is a secure, convenient way to contact the Ombudsman’s office and is available at www.ombudsman.sk.ca. Simply click on "Complaints" or "Contact Us" and choose the online form.

"People who find they have more time to submit a complaint outside regular business hours or who feel more comfortable contacting us online can now do so," Fenwick said. "The information that comes to us through the online form is also secure, so we can continue to protect people’s confidentiality." ...  more
