La Loche mayor has federal aspirations
Georgina Jolibois has declared her intention to seek nomination for the New Democratic Party (NDP) for the Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River constituency.
Jolibois has been the mayor of La Loche since 2003. She is the current chairperson of the Saskatchewan Association of Northern Communities, a northern-wide lobby group for the northern municipalities.
“The residents of the Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River constituency have been ignored for far too long at the federal level,” Jolibois said in a statement. “I am seeking the nomination in our region to bring the concerns of our constituency to Parliament and to work to find solutions for northern people.”
Jolibois said that the size and diversity of the constituency presents challenges and many opportunities.
