Released on February 10, 2006

Saskatchewan Health Minister Len Taylor today announced the appointment of Estevan resident Larry Ward to the Sun Country Regional Health Authority.

Mr. Ward is a retired telecommunications manager and former city councillor and MLA.

"Mr. Ward has a long record of service to the community and the pursuit of excellence," Taylor said. "His extensive experience will be an asset to the health authority in its work of improving the health of people in the region."

Ward worked for SaskTel in Estevan for 28 years and served 12 years as a member of Estevan City Council. In 1995 he was elected MLA and served as deputy whip of the government caucus. He has served as director and president of the Estevan Curling Club and as a member and chairperson of the Estevan Parks and Recreation Board.

"The Health Authority is pleased to be operating at full strength," Sun Country Regional Health Authority chair Earl Kickley said. "We look forward to benefiting from Mr. Ward's previous experience on many boards in Estevan."

The appointment is in effect until July 2008. The province's regional health authorities are responsible for the planning, organization, delivery and evaluation of health services within each of 12 health regions.

Sun Country Health Region's 2,260 employees serve 55,000 residents from 25 health facilities in southeast Saskatchewan.
