‘Social responsibility’ : Battleford teacher focuses on affordability and recreation in this council run
Expect to see Mark Coleman’s name on the ballot in the upcoming municipal election for Battleford.
Coleman, a teacher at Battleford Central School, originally hails from Dorchester, Ont. About seven years ago, he and his wife were looking for a place to settle down and job opportunities from the Living Sky School Division led them to Battleford, where they welcomed two children. Now, they take pride in calling the town their home.
When asked what motivated him to run for council, he said it was a ‘social responsibility.’
“‘I’m proud of where our town is at the moment, and I want to continue to strengthen it and make sure it’s a good place to continue raising my kids going forward.”
