At the June 15 meeting of North Battleford city council, administration gave an update about a proposed meeting with members of the North Battleford City Historic Archives, regarding concerns about the changes to eliminate a paid archivist position with the city.
City Manager Randy Patrick confirmed a meeting with those volunteers had taken place the pervious week, and they are scheduled to come to council in early September as a delegation to express their concerns.
Council also received correspondence from the Saskatchewan Council for Archives and Archivists in which that organization also expressed their concerns with the loss of the paid archivist position. The position had been eliminated following the retirement of Tammy Donahue Buziak last year.
This story has been corrected to remove "full time" from the description of the archivist position.
