Candidate Profiles

Larry Pearen

It has been my privilege to serve the citizens of Yorkton during my first term on Council. 

I am proud of our record for the past three years as we invested in infrastructure which included a new water treatment plant, expanded our police force, secured fire protection with a new hall and developed a strategy to address the affordable housing needs in our community.

I am proud of my community service I have provided over the past 25 years including leading the Saskatchewan 2005 Yorkton Committee, Yorkton 125 and more recently Western Financial Group City Centre Park committee.   I have used skills obtained from previous provincial and national leadership positions to help strengthen the community we live in.

As a former music educator, I have witnessed the pride our youth have shown as ambassadors for our city and region in events such as the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena. Yorkton was chosen as the community to raise our two daughters.  My wife Sonia and I continue to enjoy the city and the quality of life it brings.  I continue to work at Parkland College as the Manager of Business, Health and Human Service so I know first hand how important post secondary education is to the growth of our city.

As YOUR Representative, I will continue to:

• Support a safe community with adequate police and fire protection;
• Improve infrastructure to prepare for sustainable growth;
• Attract affordable housing for students and seniors;
• Promote our city as an attractive community with good health care, education which includes post secondary expansion and affordable recreation; and,
• Make our city more attractive to small business growth and development.

I, Larry Pearen, request your support for city council.  I look forward to serving the citizens of Yorkton.
