Saskatchewan Election 2024

Q: Tell us a bit about yourself and why you decided to run in this provincial election? 

A: I'm currently farming with my oldest son in the Davidson area. Prior to that, I've had experience as a recreation director for the towns of Davidson and Biggar. I got my Local Government Administration from the University of Regina back at that point in time.  

David, just tell us a little bit about yourself and why you decided to run for reelection. 

Well, obviously, I just felt it was important to continue to represent the Wood River constituency. I've been honored and privileged to serve this constituency for the last two elections, and I felt my health was good and I felt there were still some things I wanted to do on behalf of my constituents. 

Q: Tell us a bit about yourself and why you decided to run? 

A: I grew up in Moose Jaw and I moved away to pursue my education, and then for work experience. When I graduated from the College of Commerce in 2000, the NDP were in power, and there weren't many opportunities in the province for work.  

Tell us about yourself and why you got involved in politics 

My name is Megan Torrie. I am a 60’s scoop survivor. I grew up in the Moose Jaw and Chaplin area as I was adopted into the Torrie household when I was about three years old.  

Tell us about yourself and what got you involved in politics 

I care about quality of life and standard of services that I think living in Saskatchewan should afford to all of us. 

Tell us about yourself and the key issues in your constituency 

My name is Raymond Carrick, I'm the candidate for the Progressive Conservative Party for Dakota-Arm River. I live in Eyebrow on a farm that's been in the family for 78 years. 

The reason that I got into politics is that I spent 26 years on municipal council. 

Q: Tell us a bit about yourself? 

A: I was born and raised in Saskatchewan. With my partner and our kids, we moved all over the country while he was serving in the Royal Canadian Navy. When he was finishing off his career, we decided that it was time to come home. We came home three years ago, and I started working at the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank.  

Q: Tell us about yourself and why you decided to run in the Wood River Constituency? 

A: I've done two turns on town council [in Vanguard].  

I just don't like seeing what's going on with our healthcare. Gravelbourg's roof still leaks in the longterm care, and the hospital there in Gravelbourg.
