Lots of work on capital infrastructure projects
Redvers Town Council
November 3, 2025, 12:01 pm
Redvers Town Council held their regular meeting on Oct. 22. Mayor Brad Bulbuck says the town has been working a number of capital infrastructure replacement projects, and is making steady progress on those projects.
“This has been our largest infrastructure maintenance plan as long as I can remember. We finished the sidewalk on the north side of Souris Avenue between the post office and the cenotaph. That was done by Northstar Concrete.
“Also Northstar Concrete has completed the swales. There were four in town in a bad state of repair. All of them are completed at the corner of Broadway and Dr. Arthur and two at Souris Avenue and Rhodes Street.
“We put in a rolled curb on Warren Street heading south from the Activity Centre parking lot to McDonald Avenue.
“In a joint effort with the Redvers Lions Club we also put a new sidewalk in and a new inclusivity ramp at the Hancock lot. The Lions club paid for that project.
“We put in 12 feet of pavement, all the way from the post office on the north side from Souris Avenue from the post office to the cenotaph, and by the cenotaph that is now an inclusive ramp there as well.
“The final pavement project was cleaning up from the activity centre where the rolled curb was put in on the concrete.
“Those have fixed our worst water spots in town.
“Under the CCBF, we are allocating funds toward a sidewalk in front of the school. It’s in a bad state of repair. These projects are being evaluated so that we can determine how to prioritizing them.
“There is also a youth innovation component looking at improving accessibility at the medical clinic and looking at that sidewalk there as well at some point.
“There is an SGI grant we are applying for and we are looking at putting a sidewalk down the west side of Warren Street with crosswalks going to the group home for special needs people there. It is for safety of people crossing street there from the main building to Warren House.”
Looking at derelict building pilot
for Warren Avenue apartments
Earlier this year, the government of Saskatchewan announced a voluntary pilot project to allow municipalities to burn municipally owned derelict buildings for firefighting training.
Redvers has a derelict apartment building on Warren Avenue, however Bulbuck says the town still has some questions about the pilot project, and won’t be moving to burn down the apartments until they have a few more questions answered.
Remembrance Day ceremony
This year the town’s Remembrance Day ceremony will take place at 10:45 am at the cenotaph.
To honor the town’s veterans, a red and white crosswalk with the shadow of a soldier will be painted from the cenotaph to the CIBC building. The Redvers School art class will be doing the painting. However Bulbuck says that project will be on hold until next year due to the paving and construction that was taking place around town this year.
Truck replaced
“We reviewed our asset management plan with respect to replacing our crew half tons
“And based on our asset management plan we were supposed to replace our 2008 in 2024. It’s at the end of its life so we replaced with a 2023 Ram half ton. We purchased it for $48,000 on an advertised price of $66,000, so we saved about $20,000. It only had 1,100 km on it. It’s a demo truck.
“We also have a 2013 that we purchased used in 2022. Planned replacement was to be 2028. We pushed that out to 2030. Our goal is to keep these trucks 10 to 15 years from the date of the model year and stagger replacement every five to 7.5 years.
Town participates in food drive
The town participate in the Redvers Lions Club’s 24 in 24 Food Drive which aims to collect 24 items of food in 24 hours. Town staff brought different grocery items for the food drive.
The food was given to the Lions Club to donate to the Carlyle Food bank.
Grand opening held for dog park
The grand opening for the new dog park in Redvers was held on October 26. The dog park was developed by the Redvers Lions Club.
“The town would like to offer congratulations to the Redvers Lions Club on the grand opening of their dog park this past Sunday,” said Mayor Brad Bulbuck.
