I am happy and humbled to be serving my third term on Council. I believe that by serving on Town Council, it provides me with a great opportunity to put back into a community that I have had the fortune to enjoy for so long. I have been a resident of Balgonie since 1988.
I plan to use both the experience I have gained over the last 33 years as a Professional Engineer and the opportunity of being a leader in a large Corporation to help positively direct the Town as we advance through this term. Credibility and integrity have always been very important to me. As part of the team my responsibilities includes; Deputy Mayor, Finance Committee, Health and Cemetery Committee and the Protective Services Committee.
Derek Larsen

Thank you very much for allowing me the opportunity to serve the Town of Balgonie as a member of Council.
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.
If there are ever any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out me.

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.
Kelvin Solie
Councillor
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.
Janet Wagman
Councillor
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.
