Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Alarms

Newsletter - October 07, 2026

As of November 1, 2026, there is an increased requirement for Carbon Monoxide detection in all residences that serve as:

Alternative Family Care Homes, Family Child Care Homes and Caregiver Homes Approved for Children in the Care of the Ministry of Social Services. Additionally, this order applies to Multi-Unit Residential Buildings and buildings with additional suites.

Currently we in passive approach to inspection, this Email is for information only. Please feel free to pass information along as you see fit.

 How will enforcement be managed?

Building owners are required to comply.

Local authorities (municipalities) are delegated responsibility for the administration and enforcement of both building and fire codes. Municipalities will determine whether they take a passive or active approach to inspection.

Passive inspection occurs as follows:

• Building officials will examine a building for compliance when they have reason to be in a building to inspect construction, renovation, alterations, additions or complaints.

• Fire inspectors will examine a building for compliance when they conduct a fire inspection or respond to an incident or a complaint.

 

Active inspection occurs if a building-by-building inspection is initiated following the November 1, 2026, compliance date.

Building owners who are found to be in non-compliance can be ordered to comply.

Update on the Marshall Branch - Conexus Credit Union (formerly known as Synergy Credit Union)

To our valued members, 

In November of 2025, an attempted robbery at the Marshall branch led to substantial building and equipment damage that closed the branch. Following extensive review and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision not to reopen the Marshall branch.

This decision was reached after evaluating a number of factors, including employee and member safety, operational requirements, and the long-term sustainability of the location. The branch has experienced multiple security incidents and has been a frequent target for robbery. We have a responsibility to provide a safe and secure environment for both employees and members. 

The safety, security, and well-being of employees and members were central in this decision. Given the circumstances, we are unable to securely and sustainably operate this location for our employees and members. We are actively working with the Town of Marshall to explore options for the future of the building. Our employees who previously worked in the Marshall branch will continue working in their new locations. 

Ongoing support for our members

We will continue to provide our members with access to products, services, advice, and banking support through nearby branches in Lashburn and Lloydminster and other convenient banking channels. Since November 2025, members have successfully accessed services through these alternative channels. We thank you and our members for the loyalty you have shown your credit union as we navigate this transition.

We recognize the impact this news may have on our members and the Marshall community. This was not a decision made lightly. Although the branch will not reopen, our commitment to our membership has not changed. 

Thank you for being a valued member and for your trust and support during this transition. Our local teams are ready to answer your questions and support you with your financial needs. Please contact your Financial Advisor, call our Member Contact Centre at 1-866-825-3301, or visit the nearby branches located at 92 Main Street in Lashburn and at 101 - 4908 42 Street in Lloydminster. We will look forward to assisting you. 

Sincerely, 

Garnett Volk

Public Notice

Construction on

1st Street West

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Natural Gas Pipeline Inspections

SaskEnergy Inspectors will be in our community from now until the end of September inspecting the gas line system.

During this inspection they will be surveying for natural gas leaks, visually inspecting utility easements and testing cathodic protection systems. They will be using a variety of techniques and will be using vehicle-mounted equipment and hand-held devices. These highly sensitive instruments are designed to detect natural gas and are used to survey above and below ground infrastructure.

For your safety, Mercaptan, an odourant, is added to the natural gas in SaskEnergy’s distribution system, making it easier to smell and detect. If you suspect the smell of natural gas, please leave the area immediately and call SaskEnergy’s 24 hour emergency service line at 1-888-7000-GAS (427).

If you require more information, or have any questions, please contact SaskEnergy at 1-800-567-8899 or at saskenergy.com

Saskatchewan Health Card Renewal

Watch for your health card renewal stickers in the mail this fall. They’ll be mailed to all Saskatchewan households starting in September 2026. The stickers let health care providers know you’re eligible for health coverage until Dec. 31, 2029.

If you’ve moved since you received your health card or current sticker – remember to update your address with eHealth!

A current address ensures your stickers arrive, meaning your health coverage will continue without interruption.​

2026 Census Matters for your Community

For each resident not counted, your municipality (Village, Town, RM) loses over $400 (per person) from Provincial and Federal annual grants.

The census cycle covers 5 years, so for every person not counted this is $2,000 over the cycle.

If one average family of 4 is missed, this is $8,000. PLEASE DO YOUR PART, it takes less than 20 minutes.

If you don’t then your municipality is going to have to make up for that loss by levying higher property taxes.

In the last cycle, Town of Marshall reported that as many as 65 people were not accounted for. There was nothing we could do about it, but $130,000 in the past 5 years would have greatly helped our community.

BE COUNTED!

If you have not received a form, give Census Canada a call, toll free at 1-833-852-2026

Or call the Town Office at 306-387-3640 for assistance.

Fire Safety

Now that the weather has warmed up, people will be eager to use their back yard fire pits. Remember you are responsible if something happens. Please take extreme caution when having a fire.

Make sure to:

  • Have a fire in an approved/inspected fire pit.

  • Not have a fire when it is windy.

  • Cover the fire pit with a grate.

  • Have some way to extinguish the fire if need be.

  • Be courteous to your neighbors and try to keep the smoke to a minimum.

If you need to have your fire pit inspected or for more information regarding fires within Town please see The Open Outdoor Fires & Fireworks Bylaw 03-2019, which can be found under the Town and Council tab.
