In 2021, Saddle Hills County began researching the potential of a Community Health Nurse to help respond to the healthcare needs of rural residents and reduce wait times for things like prescriptions. After much research, the County began the search for a Nurse Practitioner, hiring Palvi Sharma in August of this year.

All at Saddle Hills County were deeply saddened to hear of the recent passing of past County Reeve Tim Stone, on October 24, 2023.

2023 is set to be an exciting year for Saddle Hills County. Council continues to prioritize important infrastructure, such as our roads and access to potable water, and public safety, as well as improving our recreation facilities for residents and visitors.

Rural municipalities across Canada are grappling with the challenges of economic growth and development in the face of declining population and lack of infrastructure.
