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

Dear Listeners,

Thanks for tuning in. In this episode are the last batch of quick interviews I did with Ward 6 and Ward 7 candidates respectively who were present while I was in attendance at the Combined Business Council Candidate Expo that took place last week.

Please note that Wards 9 and 10 the incumbents were acclaimed - Zack Jeffries and Bev Dubois. While there were candidates present from Wards 3 and 4; with the time available (event scheduled from 4 to 6 pm), I was not able to get to candidates who were present from Wards 3 and 4.

You can find further information about all the candidates in each of the respective wards, school boards and those running for mayor here - 2024 Candidate Profiles | Saskatoon.ca.

A big thank you to all the candidates for doing these 'on the fly' interviews. There was no heads up given and candidate availability was appreciated.

Civically Speaking,
Lenore Swystun
