"Blindsided" Questions following RM Dufferin CAO's actions
RM of Dufferin’s Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Rodney Audette, without a motion providing direction from council, published a notice in the Davidson Leader (DL), which does not normally serve the local area. Notices are required, by law, to be published in a recognized local news publication.
FACT CHECK: The Last Mountain Times has a total circulation of 4,904 (March 2021) serving local communities around Last Mountain Lake near Regina. According to 2019 data provided by the CMCA (Canadian Media Circulation Audit), the DL has a total circulation of 1,137 serving communities near Saskatoon.
Councillor Sheila Fishley said that she received a phone call from Reeve Russ Kirzinger on Monday asking if she received a copy of the Davidson Leader in her mail. Fishley said she had thrown the copy of the paper into the garbage because she had never received it before, thinking it didn’t pertain to them and had to retrieve it from her garbage.
“I was unaware of it. I’m blindsided by it. I had no idea that this MR [notice] was going into Davidson paper. Why would we change papers?” Fishley said.
