Representatives from SOWMA hosted a booth at the Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors in Saskatoon on October 29 and 30th.

Approximately 70 Environmental Health Officers attended this professional development event to learn more about the diverse areas of responsibility relating to public health and safety.

Onsite wastewater is one of the disciplines that Environmental Health Officers are engaged in regulating on behalf of the Ministry of Health.  By participating in this event, SOWMA strengthens its relationship with the Ministry and its representatives.  It is also a good opportunity to bring forward any issues and concerns noted during the installation season.

The onsite wastewater industry was well represented at this event.  Along with SOWMA, other association members that hosted booths were:  Anderson Pump House, FRP Manufacturing (2010) Ltd., Pre-Con Industries, and Souris Valley Industries.
