    Thanks for tuning in, Dear Listeners,

    OKAY, the election cycle is complete....at least for now...as we head into 2025 noting that a Federal Election at some point will most likely be triggered.

    James Yachyshen, a regular panel member joins Christina Cherneskey and myself, to ponder on the recent Saskatoon Civic Election and touch on a few other races, especially, mayoral changes, that occurred in some key cities in the province - e.g. Regina, Prince Albert, Yorkton, Weyburn, and North Battleford.

    Have a listen. Thanks so much for supporting this community-driven effort. And be sure to stay civically engaged. Attend engagement sessions, consultations, community associations and more.


    Civically Speaking,
    Lenore together with Christina

    Dear Listeners,

    Exciting - we are coming to the end of the Fall 2024 Election Cycle.

    The Civic Election is right around the corner. November 13, 2024. Voting takes place from 8 am to 8 pm.

    We give a run down on how to vote, where to vote, and where you can get all the details about your candidates and such. You can vote for a Mayor, a Councillor, and a School Board Trustee in either the Separate or Public school systems.

    Here is the best link to all the information you need - including what you need to have on your person when you do go and vote at Elections Saskatoon | Saskatoon.ca

    Most important - as voting matters. Some races can be within a handful of votes. These are the orders of government closest to us. Its about our streets, our community amenities and services, and so so much more.

    Have your say. Exercise your civic muscles. And on the night of the results (TOMORROW). Join us on Civically Speaking Facebook page or Voice of Saskatoon Facebook page - or through Rogers Community Channel for the results.

    Civically speaking,
    Lenore Swystun with Christina Cherneskey
