There's work to be done!
I am running for Mayor of Saskatoon.
Itโs time to bring common sense back to City Hall.
Active, engaged, driven, compassionate

Real success of Chief Arcand and the Fairhaven temporary shelter and addictions centre looks like this to the surrounding residential area? A clear example from the Fairhaven page just this morning. Chief Arcand's got the next Citizen of the Year all sowed up wouldn't you say?
Mayor Clark is hiding in Coppenhagen on a bike lane field trip because back in Saskatoon he has been caught illegally withholding 63 documents related to the Community Safety and Wellbeing Committee which failed Ward 2-3.

Prairieland Park gets special privilege from the City of Saskatoon. They are a private corp that pays no income tax or property tax and they pay only $100 in rent. Perhaps they don't deserve more taxpayer funding for this!

I was the first to declare my intention to run for Mayor of Saskatoon and now I am also the first to submit nomination paperwork. I'm in it for the long haul. Saskatoon deserves a better future. There's work to be done.

Thank you to the Acting Police and Fire Chief's for having a heartfelt, private meeting with Ward 2-3 residents last night. It was greatly appreciated and is a first step to finding a better way forward. Bravo Zulu

Police Chief Haye is concerned about picking up garbage on Avenue P while he is working on a "story" that Ward 2-3 can understand about crime in the area? Instead, pick up people breaking the law and you won't need to spin a story later?

So if Edmonton can't keep electric buses with diesel cab heaters on the road, what is it about Charlie or our City Administration that leads anyone to believe this will run better here? Anyone? How about you way in the back???

The City is required to complete a detailed risk analysis for the HAF. This is the most substantive change in land owner rights since Saskatoon became a city. Council should not vote on anything without proper engineering reports.

Just in from Edmonton. Gord is working with his STC "partner" like Charlie did, and Chief Arcand wants a shelter in every Ward just like Cynthia does, so whatever Saskatoon Ward you live in, this could be your future this fall.

If you can come and stand quietly and peacefully with your neighbors on the west side of the 400 block of Fairmont Drive tomorrow at 4:30, please do. Only pre vetted signs will be allowed. It is a silent protest only!

Pay attention to the Library plans. They're taking away a driving lane on 2nd Ave for angle parking. We're already losing 2 lanes on 1st Ave for BRT. Who thinks up these things? We need a complete downtown plan before moving on major projects.

So if the sales conditions were removed and announced to Charlie Clark on Sept 9th last year, why did he keep silent on announcing this location to Councilor Kirton, or the people or Ward 2-3? Can't wait to hear this one!

So lets get this straight. Chief Arcand draws people to Fairhaven under the guise that he is going to help them. He hand picks who he wants to help at all and then dumps the worst offenders into the Fairhaven residential community?

To be clear. This complex needs shelter needs to be far away from residential areas. We should learn from the Fairhaven mistake. Find a better location then close down Fairhaven completely. Time to get on with it!
An article in the

today outlines my plan for future shelters.
"We need to quit making the same mistakes, for starters. We need a purpose-built modular facility with spaces for dignified care of differing scales."

We've submitted many Freedom of Information Requests of the City of Saskatoon and they've been less than straight forward most of the time. We've even had to go as far as taking them to Court to get the info that we should have got the first time. We have the right to know.

The Mayor just figured out implications that should have been known since early April? He is not properly informed and he has not properly informed the citizens of Saskatoon. No proper engineering assessments or budgets either.

Mayor Clark is trying so hard to show everybody how important he is before he departs for his next big job in politics. Skip the grand-standing and just get to the point where you're gone! Standing by.

Wait a minute! It looks like Transit Union President, Darcy Pederson, wearing his brand new Cynthia Block merchandise, at her announcement. Glad to see Cynthia is following in Charlie's footsteps. Is she finally going to "fix" transit now Darcy?

If people fail to show the province that there still isn't support for this STC Fairhaven Shelter debacle, then Chief Arcand will get his long term lease and you might as well accept that you no longer have a voice.
@MattYoungCTV
@evanbrayshow
The Fire Chief involved in this mess too? Good thing he was invited to supper planning meetings with Charlie, Chief Arcand, and Police Chief back in June! I bet people in Fairhaven and beyond want to know how they can join this "partnership"?

Another Community Safety and Wellbeing Board (CSWB) Meeting called by the Mayor. Are you getting the impression that Charlie had a lot to do with this Fairhaven STC Temporary Emergency Shelter and Addictions Centre?

Another post from the last election except I changed the background color to one that more closely suits where Charlie is really aiming at!! Nothing else really matters to him you know!

, Bowen Byram won the Stanley Cup tonight. Congratulations to a fine young man who overcame serious issues to find his stride once again. Sincerely proud of what Bowen has achieved. I am sure there is more to come. Cheers
The fact is that everyone will have to pay more property tax for 30 years if the new arena goes ahead as planned. Honesty has been missing in the DEED proposal. Learn more on my website ๐

Well fake website people now feel that I am no longer "aligned" with them. ha ha Funny. I was never aligned with them and I have no idea who they are. What is clear is that they are not the official Ward 2-3 or Ward 1-4 websites so ignore there weak attempt!
@ProtectWard2n3
If Senior Admin can't figure out these simple issues, how can we expect them to solve complicated things? In 18 months, they couldn't find a southwest location to sell Transit tickets. There is a civic centre and a library right across the street from the Confed terminal!

Charlie Clark first repeatedly boasted just how much he was going to do. But after that effort began to fail, then suddenly he claimed he had nothing to do with it? Hey Charlie Schultz, what are you going to claim next?

Chief Arcand wants the city to step up for him (yet again!). So far his city partners found and bought one building and then found another in Fairhaven. Chief Arcand still fails with more funding than any other shelter. Maybe the failure is solely Chief Arcand's leadership?
It seems that Saskatoon Police Service Staff Sergeant, Michael Horvath, has been working really closely with his STC Partners. Why did he not care equally about his "partners" in Fairhaven, Meadowgreen, Montgomery, Parkridge, and Confederation Suburban?
