New Election Resources for Citizens Running for Council

The Ministry of Government Relations, in consultation with the municipal associations (Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association, Urban Municipal Administrators Association of Saskatchewan and Rural Municipal Administrators’ Association), developed the following resources geared toward citizens who are thinking about running for municipal council:

• Guide – Consider Running for Municipal Council – A citizen’s guide for candidacy in municipal elections.
• Consider Running for Council Video Series – Four pre-recorded videos that break down the guide content into shorter video clips by topic.
  1. Democratic Governance, Purpose of a Municipality and the Role of Council
  2. Learn more about your Municipality, Considerations before Running for Council, Time Commitment and Responsibilities
  3. Key Standards and Values and Responsible Conduct of Council Members
  4. How to Run for Council, Campaigning and Key Documents after Being Elected
• Poster – A poster that contains a QR code that the public can use to go to saskatchewan.ca to find resources.

Municipalities are encouraged to communicate the availability of these resources to the public, such as:

• Displaying the poster in the municipal office and/or public spaces frequented by your citizens;
• Print some copies of the poster and/or guide to have available in the office;
• Include the poster on the municipality’s website; and
• Include in upcoming mailouts of the municipality.

If you have any questions, please do hesitate to contact me directly.
