And that's it for resolutions. I'm going to shut down this SUMA 2026 live tweet. Thanks for following. Ciao. I'll be back for the bear pit on Wed. #suma2026

Oh… nope… THIS is the final resolution. It's from SUMA itself and concerns farm closure research. Gone right to voting and the song is Thank God I'm A Country Boy by John Denver. Carries 249 to 43. #suma2026

Voting on highway fire service reimbursement. Song is We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel. Carries 289 to 4. #suma2026

Last resolution (I think) is from Balgonie & is about reimbursement for fire depts that provide services on provincial highways. #suma2026

Voting on Tisdale's census procedures resolution.
Song is The Song of the Count by Count Von Count. People are clapping along. A triumph for the sound guy!
Carries 264 to 28. #suma2026

Up now, resolution from Tisdale to improve census procedures for smaller communities. #suma2026

Voting on Wildfire Mitigation resolution. Yeah… I don't know this song. Neither does my phone.

Resolution carried 262 to 24 #suma2026

Up next, resolution from La Ronge & Air Ronge on Wildfire Mitigation. #suma2026

Voting on Air Ronge's northern bylaw resolution. Song is I Fought The Law, the Clash version. Fukken excellent. Carried 173 to 110. Closest vote so far. #suma2026

Up now, a Northern Bylaw enforcement resolution from Village of Air Ronge. A speaker has asked for motion to be expanded to include all communities, not just Northern. Sounds like it changes intent so no change. #suma2026

Voting on Estevan's funding for housing authorities resolution. Song is… oh no… I don't recognize it and neither does my song identifier app. Personally, I would've gone with Our House by Madness.

Carrie 255 to 33 #suma2026

Next up, Estevan's motion on increased funding for local housing authorities. Speaker from Estevan is flagging empty social housing units across the province. #suma2026

Vote now on Warman's emergency services resolution. For the song, they've gone back to the Beatles well for "Help!" Another good pick.
Carried 271 to 18. Big cheers. #suma2026

Big cheers for Mayor of Warman. #suma2026

Mayor of Warman notes that there was an on-ice injury at a hockey game in Warman & response time for ambulance was up to 4 hours. Says that's unacceptable. Says the ambulance act is too rigid & 40 yrs old. #suma2026

Up next, Improving access to emergency care & compensation for fire depts from the City of Warman. #suma2026

Voting now on Regina's revenue tools resolution. Song is Sixteen Tons by Johnny Cash. Good choice.
Carries 266 to 31 #suma2026

Froh notes that there is a multi-billion dollar infrastructure deficit across municipalities & charging PST slows the ability of govts to address that. #suma2026

Mayor Bachynski spoke in favour of the resolution. Clr Froh is now advocating for it too. #suma2026

Up next the City Of Regina's municipal revenue tools resolution.
I will be very curious which song they'll play with this one.

#suma2026

Voting on Buchanan's transparency resolution. Song is I'm Looking Through You by the Beatles (no surprise there).
Carries 208 to 79.
#suma2026

up next, from Village Of Buchanan, a resolution calling for support for smaller communities on fulfilling transparency requirements. #suma2026

Voting on Borden's water operator retention resolution.
Music playing is Water by Brad Paisley.
Oh man, somebody picked songs to go w/ the resolutions. That's some attention to detail, Trade Centre.
Resolution carries 262 to 27 #suma2026

Next resolution is from Village Of Borden & is about retention of water & wastewater operators. Apparently, smaller communities are having difficulty keeping qualified water experts b/c they can't pay as much as larger centres. #suma2026

Voting on Borden's revenue sharing resolution.
Song playing is "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers.
Carries 296 to 36 votes. #suma2026

The concern behind Borden's cost sharing resolution is that even with the cost sharing agreements that exist is that municipalities still end up shouldering most of costs — like facility maintenance & insurance. #suma2026

First resolution is from Village of Borden & is about better cost sharing on emergency & recreation services between municipalities & surrounding rural areas. #suma2026

Here's the resolution from the City Of Regina. In short:
• advocate for new or improved taxation tools
• advocate for prov to collect education tax or better reimburse cities for doing this
• restore payments in lieu on SaskPower revenue
• end PST on municipal construction. #suma2026

This is my first SUMA convention, btw. I've never been to one of these resolution sessions before. I'm excited to see how they work. #suma2026
