Council candidate says he wants to focus on the positives of N.B.
One candidate believes building a stronger community will have a trickle down effect on issues like crime.
Kent Lindgren grew up in North Battleford and traveled around the world, just to find his way back. After living in Saskatoon while he went to school and China for a year he is in North Battleford again and said he wants to give back to the community that helped shape him.
Lindgren will be running for city council on Oct. 26 on a platform based around community unity.
“There is a lot of negativity around how we are as a community,” Lindgren said. “I am a grounded person and socially focused. We need to stop dealing with only the negatives and spin this around. It’s time to start focusing on what we do right.”
