A familiar face to Shaunavon will be out and about this summer in charge of keeping the community beautiful.

Long time Shaunavon resident, Barry Sonen, has been hired by the Town as The Director of Parks and Facilities.

This is a seasonal position running from May until September, and Sonen will be tending the community's green spaces and recreational facilities, as well as being in charge of two summer students, hired by the Town of Shaunavon to begin work May 19.

Shaunavon Chief Administrative Officer, Tara Fritz, says this is the perfect opportunity for the town to work on their tree transplanting initiative.

They are currently working on moving some trees from the tree row in the back alley just north of the Hospital, up to the ball diamonds.
