Running for Municipal Council

Municipalities are the level of government closest to the people, delivering services that residents rely on every day. Saskatchewan needs citizens to take on leadership roles as council members to represent their communities and provide direction on policies, programs and services.

Council members are entrusted to make decisions that directly affect the daily lives of residents, families, local business owners and others in the community.
