Public Notice Proposed Library Boundary Change

The City of Yorkton hereby gives public notice pursuant to Section 4.1 of The Public Libraries Act, 1996 of its intention to change the library boundary.

Details

On June 22, 2020, City Council approved a motion to establish a municipal library in Yorkton. The current Yorkton Public Library operates under the Parkland regional Library system even though Yorkton residents pay for all of the operating costs. The objective of this change is to enable the City of Yorkton to directly manage and control the budget, set priorities and establish levels of service delivery for the Yorkton Public Library. In that regard, the City will be applying for a boundary change for the Yorkton Public Library by proposing the boundaries of the new municipal library be those of the existing City limits as outlined on the map below.

Questions

Questions regarding the proposal can be directed to Lonnie Kaal, City Manager at 306-786-1703.
