Candidate hopes to bring Aboriginal perspective to council
The only First Nations council candidate in North Battleford’s municipal election believes the city’s diversity should be used as an opportunity for community building.
Herman Bugler Jr. is from Red Pheasant First Nation but went to school in North Battleford during his childhood. Now a resident of the city, Bugler Jr. is also the human resource manager at the Living Sky School Division. He has no previous political experience but has always been involved in the community.
Bugler Jr. said his main focus is bringing the community together to help the city prosper.
“Basically my platform is, we have a better future that’s shared,” Bugler Jr. said. “We can’t stick with the status quo. We need to change the way we do things. We have such a wide range of demographics. We have to promote new Canadians and the businesses they bring, and First Nation Entrepreneurs.”
