The province has appointed a new person to oversee an independent inquiry and audit of the Northern Village of Pinehouse.
Retired court judge William Vancise takes over from Neil Robertson who was appointed to Court of Queen’s of Bench last month.
The Saskatchewan government ordered an inquiry into the northern municipality’s affairs last December after council repeatedly failed to comply with freedom of information requests.
In March, the inquiry was expanded to a full audit.
The inquiry was ordered on advice from Saskatchewan’s Information and Privacy Commissioner.
