On October 22, Greg Plett, President of the Saskatchewan Onsite Wastewater Management Association was invited to provide a presentation at the Provincial Health Inspection Manager’s Meeting.

The purpose of the presentation was t o engage the health managers in discussion regarding the activities of the association throughout the province and to create dialogue among the stakeholders about onsite wastewater issues and the need for mandatory training in the industry.

The presentation was very well received. SOWMA will continue to engage the regional health officers on issues such as training, permitting, inspection and enforcement.

On November 14, Greg will provide a presentation on advanced technologies at the annual conference of the Saskatchewan chapter of the Canadian Institute of Provincial Health Inspectors. This second presentation will serve to continue SOWMA’s outreach to this group of stakeholders.
