During the SPWA convention in Saskatoon from Feb. 22 to 24, Public Works Supervisor for Water Staci Dobrescu was given the Gerry Wheeler Memorial Award for making a “valuable contribution to the SPWA.” She is currently the president of the SPWA. 

“Staci Dobrescu has been quite honestly killing herself over the past couple of weeks with water breaks and her crews are working hard to try and restore service to people,” said Moose Jaw City Manager Jim Puffalt. 

Meanwhile, Public Works Supervisor for Streets and Roads Jason Trazaskowski was named the Public Works Person of the Year.

“Jason has been completing a really good job and this is really his first year of looking after streets and roads and ensuring that snow removal is carrying on in a good fashion,” Puffalt said. 

Both employees were publicly acknowledged during the city council meeting on March 14.
