Key points from this story:

• SARM will host 2026 Midterm Convention.
• Dates: Nov. 18 and 19.
• Venue: TCU Place, Saskatoon.
• Programming covers municipal operations topics.
• Members debate resolutions for advocacy.

The education-focused convention will offer reeves, councillors, administrators, and municipal staff practical information to support their work and opportunities to exchange ideas with colleagues from across Saskatchewan.

"Rural municipal leaders make decisions every day that shape their communities," says SARM President Bill Huber. "Our Midterm Convention gives members the opportunity to learn from one another, build on their experience, and identify shared priorities for rural Saskatchewan."

Planned programming will explore municipal operations, regional cooperation, road maintenance, risk and liability, and rural access to healthcare. Members will also debate and vote on resolutions that will guide SARM's advocacy with provincial and federal governments.

The Saskatchewan Women in Rural Leadership (SWIRL) networking breakfast will offer women in rural municipal leadership an opportunity to build connections, share experiences, and celebrate their contributions to Saskatchewan's rural communities. The full convention agenda is available at sarm.ca/events/midterm-convention.

Two media scrums will be held during the convention. Details will be provided in a separate media advisory.
