Ken Krawetz has lived and worked in the Canora-Pelly area all of his life, with the exception being the time he spent at the University of Saskatche-wan where he obtained his Bachelor of Education. Ken began a teaching career in Invermay in 1972 and taught for 11 years until he decided to pur-sue a business venture. He owned and operated an insurance brokerage from 1983 to 1993 in his hometown of Invermay.
Ken was first elected to the Canora School Division Board of Education in 1985 and served as the chairperson for nine years. In 1988 he was elected to the Executive of Saskatchewan School Trustees Association. Ken was then elected as the Association's President in 1991 and again in 1992. He served as Past President form 1993 to 1994. Ken's experience with the school board encouraged him to enter politics as he was not happy with what was happening in the province and he believed he could make a dif-ference for the people of Saskatchewan.
Ken was first elected as MLA for Canora-Pelly Constituency in 1995. During his years in Opposition he served as critic for a number of major portfolios including Education, Labour, Health, and Finance. Ken was also the interim leader of the Saskatchewan Party and Leader of the Opposition from 1997 to 1999.
