Former Weyburn educator calls for accountability in Oberg case

To the Editor:

The Court of Appeal of Saskatchewan, consisting of three judges, unanimously supports the Court of Queen’s Bench ruling in the Wade Oberg case.

In 2020, the Court of Queen’s Bench ruled that the Division, led by its Senior Leadership Team, did not only, not follow its own policies and procedures, but also confirmed that the Division breached its duty to procedural fairness by deliberately dismissing very pertinent details presented to them at the show-cause hearing.

The entire affair can not only be described as a case of “unfairness” and “incompetence” on the part of the Division, but one borne out of maliciousness and a blatant refusal to take responsibility for such egregious and unethical actions.

The “injustice” that the Oberg family has undergone over the past three plus years is “appalling”, to say the least!

By attempting to defend their actions, the Division has confirmed to us all, their lack of integrity.

The irreparable damage done to the Oberg family is unconscionable, as is the damage to the SECSSD’s image and reputation. ALL this rests directly on the shoulders of the Board and the Division’s Senior Leadership Team.

Shame on you! The communities you were elected/hired to serve, expect, and deserve better.

It’s time for accountability — time for consequences for those responsible!
