Introduction of Guests (14 March 2024)

From Hansard (14 March 2024)

 

Megz Reynolds

Mr. B. McLeod: — Mr. Speaker, to you and through you, it is indeed my privilege today to also introduce Megz Reynolds, seated in your gallery.

Megz has always been engaged with agriculture, first as a primary producer just north of Swift Current and Kyle, and presently she’s employed as the director of SOP [sulphate of potash] sales for Saskatchewan Mining and Minerals.

And many of you are going to ask me, what is SOP? I’m going to tell you. This is a made-in-Saskatchewan initiative to bring together the plentiful supply of sodium sulphate at Chaplin with potash to make sulphate of potash, a fertilizer that they have plans to produce 50 000 tonnes annually to begin with in phase 1, and phase 2 to develop in Fox Valley. Phase 1 has the potential to double the workforce in Chaplin, Mr. Speaker. That’s an additional 34 jobs here in rural Saskatchewan.

Welcome to the legislature, and we wish you every success in the planning and development of SOP, sulphate of potash. Thank you, Megz, for being here.
