CHAIR’S MESSAGE
On behalf of the SaskEnergy Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to join the Minister Responsible for SaskEnergy, the Honourable Dustin Duncan, in presenting the SaskEnergy 2016-17 Annual Report. The Board was pleased with SaskEnergy’s 2016-17 results, including effective rate management, solid financial performance and a continued commitment to safe and reliable service delivery. Within these accomplishments, the SaskEnergy Executive team, management and employees should be commended for the leadership they showed in support of provincial fiscal restraint directives. The past year will also be remembered for Executive leadership changes at SaskEnergy, including the retirement of Doug Kelln, who was appointed President and CEO in 2004. I would like to extend my thanks to Doug for his leadership and the solid counsel he provided to the Board throughout his time as President. I would also like to recognize the contributions of departing Board members Victor Thomas, Grant Gayton and Norm Beug, while welcoming Ron Barsi, Annette Revet, Tina Svedahl and Alice Wong as new Directors. As well, in 2016-17, the Provincial Government outlined the need for transformational change within the Crown sector — structural, administrative and operational shifts to ensure the sustainability of financial health and reliable service delivery to the people of Saskatchewan. The Board is confident that, under the leadership of Ken From and his Executive team, SaskEnergy is well-positioned to make a meaningful contribution to these important initiatives, and we look forward to another successful year in 2017-18.
