The First Nations & Municipalities session was interesting but it was more focused on smaller & rural centres. I'm left w/ Qs about opportunities & challenges w/r/t urban reserves, joint development, THE YARDS! stuff like that. Will have to think about doing something on the QCIB on that. #yqrcc
Up now! It's the Laying the Ground: First Nations & Municipal Relations session. SUMA CEO Jean-Marc Nadeau talked about this on the QCIB last week. queencityib.com/podcasts/202... #yqrcc #suma2026
The airconditioning in this room did not do Beck any favours. The press table is at the back of the hall, and the HVAC is so loud, it drowned out a lot of what she had to say. I have questions about the wisdom of holding this event here. #yqrcc
Beck: I'll let you in on a little secret, we do not intend to remain in opposition much longer. When governments have been around a long time, they can start to take people for granted. #yqrcc
Beck: As the opposition, we have the other job to do, holding the govt to account. #yqrcc
Beck: Thanks for all of the work you are doing in your communities. #yqrcc
Beck: We are stronger together. #yqrcc
Beck: We're holding community events across the province, getting input on what people want to see in Saskatchewan. #yqrcc
Beck on healthcare: I don't think I have to tell anyone in this room that there are challenges. You see it every day. We are in the midst of consultation to come up with solutions for our system. The team has met w/ so many people in this room. #yqrcc
Beck: I appreciate that many of your are getting to know our team. #yqrcc
Beck: The team & I are incredibly excited about this plan. The work is all laid out on our website. #yqrcc
Beck: This will allow solar & also power generation in communities for you & your ratepayers. #yqrcc
I'm going to switch to @pdcityhall.bsky.social to live tweet NDP leader Carla Beck's talk at the SUMA 2026 convention in the REAL District. #yqrcc
My plan is to catch Carla Beck's speech at 1:30pm, the First Nations and Municipal Relations session at 1:50pm then the Resolutions session at 3:45pm. #suma2026 #yqrcc
There are live streams of the 2026 SUMA convention here www.youtube.com/live/rHgJRjR... #suma2026 #yqrcc
I’m at the 2026 SUMA convention. Made it in time for the premiers address #yqrcc
I’m going to switch to my live tweet account, @pdcityhall.bsky.social #yqrcc
I showed up late for the SUMA president’s address. #yqrcc
2019 zoning vs proposed high rise, for Dominion Park area in a letter from 2019
When have you seen #CityofRegina give even 5% bike parking in a residential area?
#yqrcc
And a key part of good land use is to discourage poor land use. Start taxing more heavily empty lots that developers are sitting on long term and doing nothing. #yqrcc
Some of us in #yqr know this, but it's just not enough of a priority. Everytime #yqrcc discusses it, the time it will take to complete changing the pipes out gets longer. Is it 15 years now?
All of #yqrcc need to be reminded of this diagram on a regular basis and some of them need a full explanation of what it means because they don't get it.
New QCIB: We talk about challenges facing Sask cities w/ SUMA CEO Jean-Marc Nadeau. Plus, John Kennedy from the Exchange previews this weekend's Acoustic Songwriter fundraiser for the Exchanges folk music series. #yqrcc

This is not a good sign.

There is a level of editorial control over the QCIB's existence, is what I'm saying. And, like, I'm not going to do stuff to antagonize the station b/c I like them, they're good people, & I appreciate what they do for us. /3 #yqrcc
Access & the CJTR advisory board are respectful of what we do & pretty hands off. But if we ever went nuts & started spreading nasty lies or swearing intentionally or being generally evil, we'd get yanked in a second. /2 #yqrcc
Hey… just for the record… the Queen City Improvement Bureau is a radio show first, podcast second. To get on CJTR, we actually had to go through a whole application process & there is a board that pays attention to what we're doing. #yqrcc
