Saskatoon Chapter: PO Box 7273, Saskatoon, Sask S7K 4J2 Editor: Brad Smith [email protected] October 2014 Edition
Hosted by the Grand Valley, Hamilton Niagara, and Toronto Chapters, the 2014 CSC
National Conference was a held May 21 to 25 at Kitchener’s Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Originally named Berlin, the southwestern Ontario city is home to what is reputed to be
the largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany – a Bavarian bash featuring amongst its
cultural exploits not only lederhosen-clad dancers, but also sizeable beer kegs.
Therefore, the conference’s slogan – “Tapping the future” – was a clever plan on words
as much as it was a mission statement.
At the annual awards luncheon, numerous honours were presented. Below is a
summary of CSC Saskatoon members who received accolades this year.

Chapter Awards of Merit are given to those who have helped advance the association at the local level. This
year’s recipients from the Saskatoon chapter were Kelly Boldt, CSP and Brennen Mills.
Kelly has been a member of CSC since 1989. He became involved with the Chapter
executive fairly soon after joining. In 1992 he became the Chapter Chairman for two
years before moving up to Chapter Director for 1994 and 1995. After his term as
Director was completed, Kelly became our Education Officer until 2003, taking a
break from the executive for a while. In 2009, when our secretary/treasurer moved
out of the city, Kelly stepped up and took over, and still serves in that capacity. He
was also the treasurer for the 2010 Bridge to the Future Conference in Saskatoon.
In 2012, Kelly earned the title of Certified Specification Practitioner. Our chapter
benefits greatly from Kelly’s experience and involvement. He is a most valuable
member of the CSC Saskatoon Chapter and a worthy recipient for the Chapter
Award of Merit for 2014.
Brennen has been a member of CSC since 2011. He joined the Saskatoon
Chapter Executive soon after and for the last 3 years has volunteered his time as
the Trade Contractor, on our Marketing Committee, planning our annual golf
tournament and this year also transitioned into the Vice-Chairman position.
Brennen’s eagerness to help out wherever needed and positive personality is an
asset to our Executive. His effort to promote CSC to others throughout the industry
has been shown in the events that he has been a part of planning over the years.
In his first year on the Executive, Brennen tackled the annual golf tournament by
himself and it was a huge success with a sell-out attendance. Brennen has also
joined the Marketing Committee over the last 2 years and is an integral part in
planning our Chapter’s annual “CSC Mixer”, which is excellent networking
opportunity that has increased the name and value of our organization within the
industry. Brennen is a valuable member of the CSC Saskatoon Chapter and a
worthy recipient for the Chapter Award of Merit for 2014.
