What is SAMAView and what can it do for you?

SAMAView is a website application that allows the general public access to individual property assessments for all SAMA client jurisdictions. In 2019, SAMA updated SAMAView to increase its speed and performance, and upgrade the technology used to run the system.

SAMA is posting final 2021 Revaluation property assessments on SAMAView so that the data is available to property owners as soon as they receive their new assessment notices. The Agency will be making full use of SAMAView to communicate assessed values for the 2021 Revaluation.

You can access SAMAView by going to SAMA’s website (www.sama.sk.ca) and clicking on the SAMAView link. To take advantage of the updated SAMAView application and its features you will need to create a user account. By creating a user account SAMA will be able to better understand what our customers are looking for, improve the application based on your specific feedback and include some potential for personal customization.

Public users, after creating an account and without using credits, will be able to:

• Browse and search the map;
• View basic pop-up data on the map;
• View general property overviews;
• Compare property assessments; and,
• Create a list of “favourite” properties for easy access in the future.

What are the Benefits of SAMAView?

With SAMAView you can:

• Verify your property assessment information;
• Compare your assessment to similar or neighbouring properties;
• Let SAMA know about changes to your property; and,
• Get a general idea of assessed values in your municipality.

SAMAView is intended to be used by all property owners for non-commercial purposes. There is no cost for this service. Usage for any other reason, including business purposes, requires a user to purchase a commercial subscription to use SAMAView.

Additional information and how-to videos can be accessed from the Help section within SAMAView.

For more information please view the website (www.sama.sk.ca) or contact your local SAMA office.

Sparkle Tour Event

As we are unable to hold this event in our customary manner, the Balgonie Volunteer Fire Department, the Town of Balgonie & Alpha Fire Consulting would like to introduce…

Dress Up Your Xmas Balls for the Community

This year has provided challenges for all of us in our personal lives and work lives. We have all found ways to deal with our ever-changing world. However, through all of this, we have groups in our community that have not had the opportunity to do the usual fundraising. The biggest impact has been the cancellation of our annual Dinner Theatre.

To that end, the Balgonie Volunteer Firefighters and the First Responders have partnered with Alpha Fire Consulting to create a way for all community members to help out these groups and have a little bit of Christmas fun. Normally, we hold the Sparkle Tour and have the chance to share Season’s Greetings with each other. We are inviting you to participate in our substitute 2020 event…“Dress Up Your X-mas Balls.” You may purchase an X-mas ball and festively decorate it, including your family name, company name and/or Christmas message. On the night of December 20th, they will be unveiled for all to see. There will also be fireworks to help celebrate the season.

X-mas balls will be $25.00 each for personal/family and $100.00 each for businesses. Hurry, there are only 96 available! Once you pay (contactless), you may come pick one up, decorate it and drop it off by December 18th. The Fire Department is offering cash prizes for the best child decorated X-mas ball. Don’t forget to tour the town to see the lights! As always, judging of the lighting displays will occur the week before the event.

The groups chosen to benefit from this are: Balgonie Dance and Twirl, Balgonie Curling Club, Tumbleweed Theatre and Balgonie Swimming Pool. Contact Doug Lapchuk @306-570-7791 or email [email protected] to order.

Unveiling of X-mas Balls: December 20th at 7:00 p.m. in front of the Town Office.
(We ask that community members remain in their vehicles).
Fireworks: December 20th at 7:15 p.m.
The best place to see the fireworks is Railway Street.
Santa will make an appearance to wave to the children!
