PRESENTING FAIRNESS
Who Have We Been Talking To?
Ombudsman Saskatchewan’s mission is to promote and protect fairness in the design and delivery of government services. That means, in addition to taking complaints from individuals, the office is involved in a host of services designed to achieve this mission. One such service is presentations to the public and government.
Here are some examples from the first half of 2010:

FEATURED CASE
What Happened to My Application?
Clyde owned a quarter section of land next to an expanding community. He wanted to subdivide the land into lots for resale and applied to Municipal Affairs for approval.
He did not receive a decision for over a year and then learned that his land was going to be annexed into the neighbouring community. Subdividing the land would now come with a high price tag.
