NDP nominates Sask. Rivers candidate

Former FSIN Vice-Chief Lyle Whitefish has been nominated the NDP candidate for Saskatchewan Rivers.

The nomination meeting was held Friday night in Spruce Home.

“Equality for all people starts with a strong education for every child,” said Whitefish in a news release. “One of the reasons I decided to join Cam Broten’s team is his vision for education as a priority, valuing students and families, and consulting parents and teachers every step of the way.

Whitefish, who is currently the principal at Mistahi Sipiy Elementary on the Big River First Nation, will challenge Nadine Wilson.
