Candidate with 22 years of experience looks for re-election
On and off since 1985, Gordon Yarde has served over two decades collectively on Battleford’s town council.
He hopes to come back for another term, possibly his last according to him, at this upcoming election.
“It seems that people are willing to stay here, making a life for themselves and their children and I want to be a part of that and continue to be a part of that, to really make this a nice place to live in,” Yarde said.
The retired psychiatric and general nurse says he is running again, aiming to keep the town happy with his past experience assisting him. He remans involved in the community over the last 39 years he has lived in Battleford. This includes being a past board member on groups like Concern for Youth, the Mental Health Association and the Agricultural Society.
