Saskatchewan Recognizes the Efforts of Public Works Professionals

Released on May 16, 2014

The Government of Saskatchewan announced today the recognition of Public Works Week from May 18 to 24.

The proclaiming of Public Works Week provides the opportunity to educate the public about the importance of public infrastructure and services.  This year’s theme, “Building for Today, Planning for Tomorrow,” demonstrates the importance of planning for future growth and ensuring the province’s infrastructure is well supported into the future.

“On behalf of the province, I would like to thank our public works professionals for their dedication and expertise,” Central Services Minister Nancy Heppner said.  “I am pleased to recognize the hardworking men and women who oversee our public infrastructure and ensure the critical services we depend on are running smoothly.”

Public Works Week is spearheaded by the Saskatchewan chapter of the Canadian Public Works Association (CPWA).  The chapter is made up of public works officials as well as companies and suppliers that support public works services.  The Saskatchewan Chapter of the Canadian Public Works Association actively promotes professional excellence and public awareness through educational workshops, its annual conference and the involvement of the many public works officials, workers and agencies throughout Saskatchewan. 

“Our more than 28,000 members in the U.S. and Canada use this week to educate and inform the public about the importance of the contributions public works make to their daily lives and building quality of life,” CPWA Saskatchewan Chapter President  George Jakeman said.  “‘Building for Today, Planning for Tomorrow’ represents the classic idea of stewardship embodied by the profession of public works and the professionals that practice it.”

This year marks the 54th celebration of Public Works Week.  The week has become an annual event, celebrated during the third full week of May each year, and serves as an opportunity to acknowledge the efforts of public works professionals and their contributions to the province.
