Mayor Roy said he has a “very optimistic view” with commodity prices doing well right now for both oil and agriculture.
With oil prices staying above $60 a barrel for the past while, there are more people getting back to work again, including with the well abandonment program.
With recent conversations with the chamber’s new executive director, Larry Heggs, the mayor said the mayors caucus would like to urge chambers of commerce to push the province to go back to supporting the film industry again. He pointed out how, as an example, Ghostbusters 3 had initially looked at Saskatchewan for production, but when it was found there were no tax incentives available here for that industry, they moved production to Alberta.
