Children’s advocate selected

A Saskatoon city councillor will be adding a new job to his plate.

Bob Pringle has been chosen to be Saskatchewan's next Children's advocate.

PostMedia news reports that the legislative assembly will have to vote this month on whether it should be Pringle that takes on the 5-year-term starting in January.

The former NDP MLA will have to decide if he can keep his position on city council.

Pringle was previously named chair of the Saskatchewan Child Welfare review.
