CAA Member William

Celebrates 100
Years party at CAA’s
Saskatoon East Store
Thanks for the Memories!
In fact, what a century it’s
been. And what an excellent two years it has been for
me to serve our valued Members, as chair of the CAA
Saskatchewan Board of Directors.
Looking back over my term, which comes to an end in
October, I admit it has been an exciting ride. I’ve worked
alongside our board of directors and CAA Saskatchewan
staff to help keep our Members and clients
safe and secure with the many services
we provide—from insurance and travel
to automotive. And let’s not forget CAA’s
Regina Battery Depot and Car Care Centre
(which you can read more about on page
41), plus our much-loved WestWorld Tours.
In 1917, the goal of the Saskatchewan
Motor Club was to advocate for road
construction and improvement. The vision of
those pioneers set the stage for the ongoing
development of uniform regulations and
standards. Their instincts about the need for automobile
clubs and joint action for good roads, safe driving and
better vehicles are still relevant today.
One hundred years later, CAA Saskatchewan is
proud to maintain our role as a dedicated advocate for
Members and the travelling public in our province.
We work diligently to address Member needs with
innovative and reliable services that enhance the value
of a CAA Membership, which truly is rewarding.
CAA Saskatchewan also represents Member interests
to governments, decision makers and industry leaders.
Our advocacy issues include consumer education
andprotection, road and travel safety, highway infra-
structure, and the environment.
What a year it has been!

Air passenger rights and driver safety are two key
advocacy areas we continue to monitor. Earlier this
year, CAA released a poll showing almost two-thirds of
Canadians are concerned our roads will become more
dangerous with the legalization of marijuana. Research
also indicated a lack of public education about the effects
of marijuana on a driver’s ability to safely control his or
her vehicle. Members can trust CAA to stay
on top of these issues in the coming months.
Infrastructure and road safety are also top of
mind for CAA Saskatchewan
