Government of Saskatchewan removes reeve of RM of Sherwood Feb 5, 2015 12:24 PM

The reeve of the Rural Municipality (RM) of Sherwood is being booted out of that job by the Government of Saskatchewan after an inquiry found conflicts of interest and violations of public trust when it came to a proposed development known as Wascana Village.

An investigation was first launched last June into the RM after allegations were brought forward.

Retired Justice Ron Barclay was independently appointed to conduct the inspection. A month later in July, a full inquiry was ordered.

“This is not a step any government would ever want to take, but the serious findings in this report require extraordinary action to ensure the best interests of Sherwood ratepayers are protected,” Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter said.
