Chief Administrative Officer
Tricia Pickard
I grew up in Carnduff and am married to Randy Pickard who grew up in Fertile. We have been married since July 1, 2006 at were married at the International Peace Gardens. Together we have two children, Camdyn Pickard and Daxson Pickard. My parents Ken & Therese Martel also live in Redvers and I love having them close to myself and my family.
I started at the Town of Redvers as the Secretary in September 2011 after changing careers from being the Director of the Early Learning & Child Care Centres for 12 years. I have a Level “C” Certificate in Municipal Administration as well as an ECE III in Early Childhood Education. I have been a waitress in many capacities including the Silvermoon Inn, Java Junction and House of Wong. For a few summers I worked as a strawberry picker and my first ever job was being a concession worker at the Carnduff Community Theatre.
Currently I sit on the Redvers Minor Ball Board (8 years) and am the Task Manager for the Redvers Wildlife Archery Club (15 years). In the past I have been the Chamber of Commerce Chairperson, sat on the Redvers Health Foundation Fundraising Committee for 8 years and have helped out in several capacities throughout the community. I believe that many hands make light work and it is important for people to step up within the community.
During my spare time I enjoy golf, softball, slo-pitch, and archery. I love to watch my kids play their sports, volleyball, baseball, softball and hockey as well as other numerous friends’ and community minor sports. Something that is new to me but I find very fun, is announcing at hockey games! I am very passionate about many things including sports so if you see me cheering loudly, don’t be surprised! My moto in life is Live, Laugh & Love.
I wanted to be employed at the Town of Redvers at first to simplify my work life, but after a few years I knew I wanted to make it my career. I strive for challenges and out of the box thinking and ideals. Being involved in the Municipality peaks my interest because I love a challenge, enjoy creating bylaws and policies and working as a team to provide the best small town dynamic possible.
My goals in being the CAO are to maintain the small town feel where everyone knows your name, prioritize recreation dynamics, safety, kindness, equality, forward thinking and beautification of our community.
The projects I would like to see within Redvers are a new water treatment plant, provide unique community aspects such as a skate park, excursions for the Transit Bus, outdoor rink, etc. Provide safety measures on our streets, sidewalks, and highways are also key projects.
The current project I am especially invested in is the Water Treatment Plant. Providing adequate and above grade potable water is essential in maintaining community members. If our water tastes good and is above safety protocols, in my opinion, it sets the stage for the dynamic of our community as a whole.
The biggest thing I have learned about our community since being employed by the Town is that people care. People care about their community and its members. Young and young at heart can all be invested for different reasons within the community but the end goal is the same. Everyone wants to live in a safe, respectful community that offers an array of businesses, events and things unique to a small town.
My favorite aspect of being a part of the Town of Redvers team is to be knowledgeable about the community and our people. Knowing the behind the scenes operations, working with Council, and my team, to reach our goals truly energizes me. It makes me very happy when the community is happy! When they are not, and if there is an issue, I want to create the trust that it can be brought forward and worked out to the best interest of the community as a whole.
I look forward to continuing to dedicate many more years to Redvers and its residents!
Assistant Chief Administrative Officer
Jena Cowan
I moved to Redvers in 2014; we bought an acreage about 10 minutes north on Highway 8. I started with the Town of Redvers as the Secretary in November 2015. I am certified as a Notary, Marriage License Issuer, and obtained OH&S certifications. Childcare was my career for a long time before entering the administrative world. I have started taking courses at the University of Regina, working towards my Certificate in Local Government. My goals for the future of Redvers would be continuing to amplify beautification with new projects. Small touches can add warmth and vibrance to a community. There is much more to running a municipality than invoices, taxes, and water bills. The questions and requests that come into our office on a daily basis makes the days fly right by. My favorite aspect of working here is the team dynamic of our staff. I am thankful for every opportunity I have been given here!
Accounting Assistant
Raylene Gordon
I grew up on the Berard Family Farm, just outside of Storthoaks, and now live there with my husband Curtis and our three children: Katie, Tucker and Chase. Curtis is a Maintenance Operator for Saturn Oil & Gas and the kids go to school in Carievale.
I started working for the Town of Redvers on January 26th, 2022. My first job in high school was waitressing and I’ve always enjoyed working with the public. After graduating from Carnduff High School, and with the hopes of one day becoming a flight attendant, I obtained my Travel & Tourism Diploma from Medicine Hat College. I was required to complete practicums for this program and as a result, I was offered permanent positions at Tourism Saskatchewan and the Hotel Saskatchewan Radisson Plaza, both located in Regina. I accepted the Tourism Visitor Information Councilor position at Tourism Saskatchewan and was employed there for four years before a certain ‘boy’ from back home stole my heart and I moved to Carnduff to be closer to him. We then bought our first home together, were married and started to expand our family. During that time, I was offered a position at Carnduff Agencies and worked there until we switched homes with my Mom in 2011. I decided to be a stay at home Mom and over the years I was treasurer for St. Anthony’s Parish and the Storthoaks Rink. After our family was completed and as the kids were getting older, I was excited to join the work force once again.
In our spare time, the winter months have kept us busy with the kids involved in hockey and in the summer we enjoy camping, golfing and boating as a family. We also have a small herd of cattle (which are more like pets!).
I wanted to be employed with the Town of Redvers as the office team dynamics were very appealing to me. I very much enjoy the feeling of being part of a family at work and was looking to find a place where I could settle in and hopefully one day retire. Another feature of this position that peaked my interest was the community involvement. As a neighboring community to my hometown, many of the services that Redvers offers have always been essential to myself and my family.
Goals that I would like to see for Redvers are to maintain the close-knit community feeling in these ever-changing times that we live in and at the same time incorporate new ideas and projects that would benefit all age groups of this community.
There are several projects that I am currently learning about and assisting with. I am anticipating the progression of an updated Water Treatment Plant that will benefit all community residents.
One thing that I have learned about since being employed here are the details on the Perreaux Residential Subdivision. This looks like an exciting addition to the community and a great opportunity for Redvers to increase its population.
My favorite aspect of being employed with the Town of Redvers so far is that I feel like family here and I enjoy being able to help and be part of a vibrant growing community.
Administrative Assistant
Dayna Germain
My husband Jesse and I moved to Redvers in 2014, and bought my grandparents house (Margaret & Miller Nelson). We both grew up in the Redvers/Alida area. I started with the Town of Redvers on April 4, 2022. I have over 8 years of Administrative experience and currently have my OH&S Level 1 Certificate. My husband and I have a cabin at White Bear Lake Resort where we spend most of summer fishing, golfing, sea-dooing and relaxing with friends & family. I wanted to be employed by the Town of Redvers so I could be more involved in the community. It’s also very interesting learning and understanding all the behind the scenes work and how much consideration, work, and thought goes into keeping everything rolling. One thing I would like to see more of in the future is job opportunities for Redvers. We have a variety of amenities that make our town appealing for people of all ages, and it would be great to see our community continue to grow in the years to come! From being employed here I have learned that the community of Redvers takes pride in their town and the place they call home. Everyone’s been so welcoming, and it’s been a lot of fun meeting new people & seeing old faces! The staff here are all awesome, everyone does such a great job and we all work together really well. They make coming to work every day a real treat!

I grew up on a farm just west of Redvers. Redvers has always been my home. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Valery. We have 4 kids, Hailey, Nate, Asia, and Jase. Currently I live on a farm northeast of Wauchope.
I started with the Town of Redvers in September of 2011, as the Town Maintenance Man. I have my Water Treatment Level 1, Water Distribution Level 2, Wastewater Treatment Level 1 and Wastewater Collection Level 1. I became the Foreman for the Town of Redvers in October 2021. It has been a fun and challenging learning curve. I also cattle farm to fill my days and weekends.
In my spare time I enjoy working on the farm, camping, hunting, ski-dooing, quadding, and I also enjoy watching my children in their activities.
I wanted to be employed by the Town if Redvers to leave the shiftwork lifestyle and have the ability to be home more with my family.
The #1 project I would like to see happen in our town, is a new Water Treatment Plant, to provide great tasting safe water for our community.
The biggest thing I have learned about our community is the expression of gratitude from the public. We live in a great community where someone is always willing to lend a hand.
My favorite aspect of my employment at the Town of Redvers is the great teamwork shown. It is a great working environment!

Transit Driver
Laurie West-Burnham
I grew up in Antler, Saskatchewan, and no matter where life has taken me, my heart has always stayed close to my roots. I’m a proud mom to two amazing kids—my son, Peyton, and my daughter, Kara—who inspire me every day.
Over the years, I’ve worked in a variety of roles, but driving has always been my passion. I spent 11 wonderful years as a school bus driver before recently stepping into my new role as the town’s transit bus driver. I love being able to provide safe, reliable transportation while also getting to connect with people in our community.
I enjoy being part of a team, helping out wherever I can, and planning creative events that bring people together. I’m passionate about keeping that true small-town feel alive—where everyone knows your name—by focusing on safety, kindness, equality, forward thinking, and a little bit of creativity to make our community the best it can be.

Transfer Station Attendant
Kul Tiwari
I am proud to be part of the vibrant community of Redvers, where I have been working as a Transfer Station Attendant since May 2025. I was born and raised in Nepal, the homeland of Mount Everest, and I am happily married to my wife, Yojana. Together, we are blessed with a wonderful 4-year-old daughter, Kavya. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Pokhara University (2015).

Currently, I work full-time at South East Research Farm and part-time with the Town of Redvers. My diverse background in administration, banking, research, and skilled trades reflects my passion for continuous learning and contributing to the community. In my free time, I enjoy reading, dancing, and playing outdoor sports such as soccer and volleyball.
Recreation Director
Nadine Pryde
I started as the Recreation Director in September 2022. This is a position of many hats, every season I need to wear a new one, from knowing how to make and maintain ice, to cleaning, filling and keeping the pool at regulation levels, to ball diamond groundskeeper, grass mower, manager and overseer of pool staff, to behind the scenes organizer, scheduler, event planner, administrator, grant writer, team player, and gopher.
I am one of those people that seems to be everywhere at once! I have determined that spring is definitely the most challenging season at the Rec Centre. Stressful, yes! Rewarding, yes! I have learned so many things along the way, and I think that I am finding my groove, and the hats are getting easier to swap each season.
