Regina Election: Who's Running and What's at Stake?

It's that time again, Regina! Election season is upon us, and with it comes the opportunity to shape the future of our city. This year, we'll be voting for Mayor, City Council, and School Board – so get your voting hats on and let's dive into what's at stake.

Mayor: The Big Picture

The Mayor is the chief executive of the city and sets the overall direction for Regina. They're responsible for leading the city council, advocating for Regina's interests, and making sure our city runs smoothly. This election is about choosing the leader who best represents our values and priorities.

Some key issues:

• Economic Development: Creating jobs, supporting local businesses, and making Regina a thriving hub.
• Infrastructure: Addressing roads, public transit, and community facilities to ensure a livable city.
• Social Services: Supporting vulnerable populations, providing affordable housing, and addressing issues like homelessness.

City Council: Representing Your Neighbourhood

City Council is the legislative body of the city. They're responsible for passing laws, setting budgets, and making decisions that directly impact our neighbourhoods. Each councillor represents a specific ward, so you'll be voting for someone who understands the unique needs of your community.

Important considerations:

• Taxes and Spending: How will your councillor balance the city's budget while supporting essential services?
• Development and Growth: Will they prioritize development that benefits everyone, or focus on specific interests?
• Community Engagement: How will they ensure your voice is heard and your needs are met?

School Board: Shaping the Future of Education

The School Board is responsible for overseeing the Regina Public School System. They play a crucial role in setting curriculum, managing finances, and ensuring a quality education for all students.

Critical issues:

• Funding and Resources: Making sure our schools have the resources they need to provide a strong education.
• Curriculum and Instruction: Ensuring our students are learning the skills and knowledge they need for success.
• Inclusivity and Equity: Creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all students, regardless of their background.
