I also farmed during this time.
During my previous work with Provincial Government I sat on a Deputy Minister sub committee on three different occasions.
I also sat on the Thundercreek local school board for 10 years.
I was a member of John Howard Provincial board for a period of time.
During my tenure on City Council I have represented the citizens of Moose Jaw on Moose Jaw Police Commission for four years ( two years as vice chair), Moose Jaw Exhibition Board, Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery, Parks & Recreation committee and Roads and Infrastructure Committee.
My past experience has given me the ability to deal with budget constraints and complex issues.
I have attended numerous meetings as Moose Jaws representative.
I have the time, experience and ability to represent all citizens of Moose Jaw and would be honoured to represent everyone on City Council for the next four years.
