CTV
Here's a look at the candidates for Ward 1 ahead Regina's civic election on November 13.
Situated in Regina’s south end, Ward 1 contains the Hillsdale and Whitmore Park neighbourhoods, a sizable portion of the city’s downtown, as well as the University of Regina campus.
Former Ward 1 Councillor Cheryl Stadnichuk is not seeking re-election – so four candidates will look to fill her seat on Nov. 13.
The first is Joanne Crofford, a former Saskatchewan NDP MLA who served 16 years in the legislature.
Among Crawford’s priorities are tax stewardship, affordable services and sustainable planning.
Crofford served as the MLA for Regina Rosemont from 1991 to 2007. In that time, she served in several cabinet roles including minister for the status of women, SLGA, post-secondary, culture, and employment.
In 2001, Crofford ran for the leadership of the Saskatchewan NDP where she placed sixth.
Talha Khan is a student at the University of Regina and is focused on positive change through community safety.
