APPOINTMENTS WITH OMBUDSMAN STAFF AVAILABLE FEBRUARY 5 & 6 IN MEADOW LAKE

On February 5 & 6, residents of Meadow Lake and the surrounding area will be able to meet individually with staff from Ombudsman Saskatchewan. People who think they have been treated unfairly by a provincial government service may call 1-800-667-9787 to book an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome and will be fit into any open spots in the schedule.

Ombudsman staff will be available at:

1:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Thursday, February 5
10:15 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Friday, February 6
Lions Den, (museum location)

Ombudsman Saskatchewan 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 appropriate, the Office may conduct an investigation into the complaint, and may make recommendations that government take corrective action to address and resolve the complaint.
