SaskPower Board chair, and replaces the late Milt Fair. Barnard was first

Al Macatavish is a new appointment to the SaskPower Board of Directors.

the Board provides leadership in setting SaskPower's long-range strategic

direction and approves the corporation's strategic plan, business plan,

operating goals and budget, and performance indicators. All members of the

Board are independent from SaskPower management, with the exception of the
