Judgement Error Results in Power Outage
Shanine Sealey,
Martensville Messenger
Many
residents
on the south end
of
Martensville
experienced a power
outage on Friday,
April 22 due to a
downed power line
outside of Valley
Manor
Elementary
School on 8th Avenue
South. The power line
was taken down when
a boom truck, driving
with their machinery
lifted, caught the line.
Members of the local
RCMP, Martensville
Fire Department and
SaskPower
were
on site, ensuring
the situation was
quickly under control
and vehicles and pedestrian
traffic was restricted in the
area.
Staff at Valley Manor
School instructed parents
to pick up their children
at lunch, as the school
was forced to be without
power for the remainder
of the day until SaskPower
crews could resolve the
situation. Many parents
were pleased with the quick
and organized methods that
Valley Manor Elementary
School had in place in order
to notify parents. Some
comments made by parents
of
students
included;
“Terrific response time”,
“Shout out to Valley Manor
for their communication
system to inform parents.
Both my husband and I
had texts, emails and phone
calls coming to our cell
phones”, and “Love their
communication. We just
moved here and although I
missed the first half of the
message, with the email and
texts I wasn't left not knowing
what was going on.”
According to members
of the Martensville Fire
Department, the situation
could have been far worse,
and thankfully, no one was
injured in the incident.
SaskPower was on site for
the majority of the day, and
was able to regain power to
the majority of residents by
5pm, however approximately
100 south end residents were
without power until later that
night.
ABOVE: SaskPower was at the site of the accident
and quickly went to work in order to restore power to
Martensville residents.
On Tuesday, April 19th,
Martensville City Council
approved an update to
the Kinsmen Park Master
Plan presented by Crosby
Hanna and Associates.
The plan is in Phase One
of four and will focus
on connecting walkways
throughout the park and
reclaiming green space
along 10th Avenue North.
The area of the park along
10th Avenue hasn’t been
developed yet; however,
with 10th Avenue now
being paved the City hopes
to landscape and reclaim
the ground. The people
living in Lake Vista will
see pathways that connect
to the rest of
