Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark is not seeking re-election. That means local voters will be choosing a new mayor in Wednesday's municipal elections. Here are the candidates.
The Saskatoon civic election takes place on Wednesday, Nov. 13, and with Charlie Clark not seeking another term, voters will be choosing a new mayor from a field of five candidates.
They are: Don Atchison, Cynthia Block, Mike Harder, Cary Tarasoff and Gordon Wyant.
Former Saskatoon mayor Don Atchison is looking to make a comeback. Atchison held the office for four terms between 2003 and 2016, making him the city’s longest-serving mayor.
He lost his re-election bid in 2016 to Mayor Charlie Clark and again in 2020. His campaign has focused on practical governance, public safety and fiscal responsibility.
Cynthia Block has served as Ward 6 councillor for the last eight years. A former CTV News anchor, she also ran for the Liberal Party in the 2015 federal election.
If elected, Block will be the first woman to serve as Saskatoon’s mayor. Her platform includes affordable/attainable housing, modern public transit, well-maintained roads and sidewalks, green spaces and amenities.
In his campaign biography, Mike Harder describes himself as a “social libertarian/ authoritarian” who want’s best for everyone. Harder is focused on avoiding property tax increases.
Cary Tarasoff grew up on a farm and later served in the military. He previously ran for mayor in 2020 and placed fourth with 2,650 votes.
