Born and raised in a small town in Saskatchewan, I’ve had a vast variety of occupations and also obtained my CIP (Chartered Insurance Professional) designation. I currently own my own boutique insurance adjusting firm, which employs 4 people. My husband and I have lived in Martensville for 15 years and have two children. We are also real estate investors and self manage our properties. Our children keep us busy with their various activities. I’ve volunteered for numerous organizations including the Martensville Slo-pitch Executive, SCC committee at Venture Heights School and coached and managed various sports teams in town.
I believe with my vast experience in working in different fields, including my current roles, will bring enormous benefit to the council and community. I am very passionate about continuing to grow this community and having it provide the amenities needed.
Currently there are a lot of questions regarding safety, policing, senior living, healthcare and economic development within the City. I would like to see our community be a one stop centre. We have a median age that is young but with that there is a large group getting older and senior accommodations and services are needed. This also includes medical services that would be utilized by all age groups. We currently pay 70% of the RCMP bill with the remainder by the government. There is a lack of presence in our community because they have a large area to patrol. We need to review this and come to a better solution that has their presence in our area for the compensation portion we have been contributing.
Safety needs to be reviewed and addressed. There is an enormous number of different areas to address, including but not limited to vandalism, theft, traffic violations, illegal or unregistered recreational vehicles, lighting, signage etc. We need to work together as a council to come to a solution that will produce results.
I’m here to be the voice for the residents of the community. I would truly listen to concerns from the community and will always commit to find a solution or answer. I will be the first to admit if I don’t know the answer but will also spend the time to find the answer. Decisions won’t be made lightly and tremendous research will be conducted if I feel I am not versed enough on a specific topic. Transparency is very important.
I want to make a positive change in the community and advocate for policies that promote economic development, enhance public safety and support community well-being. I am very eager to help grow this community, making it better for all of us that call it home. You can find more info on Facebook under Krista McCann For Martensville City Council 2024.
