Saskatchewan Greens field historic full slate of candidates for provincial election


Regina, Saskatchewan – It’s official – the Green Party of Saskatchewan has candidates running in all 58 constituencies for the 7th of November provincial election. Party Leader Victor Lau is jubilant about this development, “We’ve come a long way since our party was founded in 1998! In 1999 we fielded just 16 candidates, but today we are now on every ballot across the province, and we are now Saskatchewan’s new third party!”

Lau is especially pleased that 41 percent of the Green candidates are women, which is also a Saskatchewan first, “Never before has a political party in Saskatchewan fielded 41 percent of its candidates as women. This is a very happy day indeed.” The Green Party of Saskatchewan has just taken another step toward creating a Real Opposition to the Sask Party Government and the creation of One Saskatchewan by ensuring every Saskatchewan citizen has the opportunity to vote for the party. The finalized list of Green Party candidates is able on the party’s website at saskgreen.ca .
