On January 22, residents of Kindersley and the surrounding area will be able to meet individually with staff from Ombudsman Saskatchewan. Those who think they have been treated unfairly by a provincial government service can go to the Upstairs Conference Room at the West Central Events Centre between 10:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

To book a time in advance, call 1-800-667-9787. Walk-ins are also welcome.

The Ombudsman can take complaints about provincial government ministries, Crown corporations, most provincial and provincially-funded agencies, boards, commissions, and publicly-funded health entities.

The Ombudsman is independent and impartial and there is no cost to make a complaint.

When possible, the Ombudsman’s staff try to resolve complaints using non-adversarial approaches such as facilitated communication, mediation, and coaching. If that is not successful, the Office may conduct an investigation into the complaint, and if appropriate, make recommendations that government take corrective action to address and resolve the complaint.
