I am happy and humbled to have the opportunity to serve the community as Mayor. Balgonie has been my home since 1988, where my wife Virginia and I raised our two children.

Providing first rate services and maintaining a close-knit, small-town atmosphere while developing responsible commercial opportunities to supplement the tax base will continue to be my focus. Another ongoing priority is to provide a safe and sustainable community for everyone.

My 36 years as a professional engineer and leadership experiences have allowed me to make a unique contribution on Council. Over the past eleven years, the Town has moved forward with many positive accomplishments; I intend to continue this course, working along side the Balgonie Town Council in service of the community.

I take great pride in calling Balgonie my home.

Thank you!

As a dedicated member of the Balgonie community since 2008, I am honored to serve as a new Town Councillor. I am committed to preserving our town’s small-town charm while embracing progressive ideas for a bright future. Alongside my wife Jessica, we have raised our four beautiful children – Peyton, Ryder, Nashia, and Graycee – in the heart of Balgonie. Our love for this town motivates me to work towards sustainable development, enriching activities for our residents, and fostering a strong community culture that we can all take pride in.

I am excited to contribute to the growth and well-being of Balgonie, ensuring it remains a wonderful place to live and thrive.

My wife, Amber, and I both grew up in Balgonie and are happy to be raising our children, Evan and Brody, here.

I am involved with the Balgonie Playschool along with men’s broomball. I look forward to becoming more involved in minor sports and the elementary school as my kids get older.

As a first-term Councillor, I am excited to be a part of the Town’s leadership team and have been appointed to the Buildings and Land Committee along with the Finance Committee.

I have been a resident of Balgonie for the past 2 years, although I have felt a part of this community for over 10 years because my children have attended Balgonie Elementary School, Greenall High School and played on various sports teams in the community.

I have been appointed to the Recreation and Finance Committees. I look forward to being a positive influence on the growth of the community and I will not only listen but hear community concerns and be a part of the solution for the residents of Balgonie.

I am pleased to have been elected as a member of the Balgonie Town Council.

I am in my third term on Council and feel this Council has a strong vision that will move our community in the right direction. With continued growth in both residential and commercial development, Balgonie will continue to prosper and succeed but remain a safe and family oriented community. 

My portfolio includes the head of Public Works and Utilities Committee. I am also a member of the Protective Services Committee and Finance Committee.

As before, my mandate is to promote an approachable and transparent Council where our resident’s voices will be heard.

I would like to thank the citizens of the Town for re-electing me for my third term and I truly appreciate the opportunity to serve the citizens of Balgonie, as a Town Councillor, from 2020 through 2024.

My husband, Patrick, and I have resided in Balgonie for 41 years and have raised two daughters, Courtney and Kimberly. I worked for the Saskatchewan Ministry of Finance for 42 years and have just recently retired.

I am proud of the achievements the Balgonie Town Council has attained, over the past 8 years, and will continue to do in this upcoming 4 years. Our community is safe, progressive and vibrant and will continue to grow with new residential and commercial opportunities.

I am currently serving on the Finance, Lands & Buildings, Health & Cemetery, Recreation and Planning & Developments Boards and will continue to be Town representative on the Library Board.

I believe in a common sense, openly transparent and accountable municipal government and I will always abide by these principles and work for the enrichment of our community.
