Annual Meeting, October 7, 2014

At the Annual Meeting of the Meadowgreen Community Association, community members listened to Danielle Chartier, MLA Riversdale, explain her role as a Member of the Legislative Assembly.  She also talked about her role at the critic for the Health portfolio, Seniors portfolio and the Status of Women.  Danielle also gave us an overview of the work that she does on behalf of Riversdale constituents.  Her energy and enthusiasm for the work she does and the long hours was noted.  Danielle encouraged people to contact her office if there are concerns that she might help address.  She also noted that most of her work helping constituents is done behind the scenes and going to the media is a last resort and only if people consent.
As well Marina Melchiorre, Transportation Infrastructure Engineer with the City of Saskatoon was present.  She wanted to hear from residents about their issues and use of the 18th Street/Circle Drive pedestrian underpass.  If you have anything you wish her to address, she is working on a report for City Council on the underpass, please contact her at the City.  Many other traffic issues were brought up and Marina encouraged us to use the City's website under Traffic and file a report so that our concerns are addressed.
Other community issues brought up were the strip mall on 18th and Ave W and snow removal.
The executive reported on a number of events and programs: soccer, rink, community clean-up, community fair etc.  The executive was acclaimed with one additional person volunteering from the floor.
