In the words of Jordon Cooper, "Trying to keep track of who is running for Saskatoon City Council and the Mayor’s Office?  You are in luck.  Here is a list of those that are running, rumored to run and their chances going into the 2016 Saskatoon Municipal Election".

The blog can be found here. And to acknowledge the comment in the blog, I am ready to work hard for the residents of Ward 8. That includes being prepared for all meetings, including those of Council and its committees, encouraging and creating space for community dialogue and ensuring residents' opinions are heard and respected by those who serve on City Council.
