Global News
Saskatoon MLA Gord Wyant announced his mayoral candidacy Monday.
Saskatoon Northwest MLA Gord Wyant announced on Monday that he would be running for mayor.
An announcement that Wyant wouldn’t be seeking re-election with the Sask. Party was made back in February, with Premier Scott Moe listing several MLAs who wouldn’t be taking part in this year’s provincial election.
Before his time in provincial politics, Wyant was elected as trustee for the Saskatoon Public School Board in 2000 and served as chair for two years. He was also a Saskatoon city councillor in 2003 and was re-elected in 2006 and 2009.
“My decision to run for mayor wasn’t taken lightly,” Wyant said.
He said he’s gained a lot of experience in different roles within the Sask. Party and wants to bring that experience to Saskatoon.
Wyant said his campaign will be built on three pillars: safety, affordability and transparency.
“These pillars are embodied in our slogan ‘safe streets and smart spending,’ and these aren’t just catchy phrases. They’re the foundation for my vision of Saskatoon and I know that you all share it.”
He said safe streets are for everyone in Saskatoon, saying safety is the right of all citizens.
