My name is Logan McCorriston, I am 25 years old, and I grew up in Saskatoon. I made Martensville my home in July 2019 and very quickly fell in love with the community. From local businesses to the friendships I’ve made over the years, everything about Martensville made me want to call this city my home.
What is your main platform in this election? – My platform outlines my want to make our community the best it can be in all ways, by voicing the concerns of our citizens, and ensuring their voices are not only heard, but acknowledged.
What do you feel sets you apart from other candidates? – My age. I am younger and because of this I feel I may be able to relate more closely to the newer generations, while also maintaining a high level of respect for those older than myself and seniors.
What made you want to run in this election? – The reason I decided to run in this election is because I want to bring positive change and meaningful impact to our community, and I believe I have the skills necessary to do so. My key traits are; I am an excellent listener. I am a strong leader and a distinguished role model. I am determined and dedicated, and I am very detail oriented.
In recent years, Martensville has seen tremendous growth, what do you think the most positive thing to come out of this has been, and what do you think are some of the negative impacts on such rapid growth? – I think the most positive outcome to our growth would be the development of new infrastructure. With rapid growth comes a wider range of amenities and services, and with that we can attract ourselves as a desirable place to work and call home. However, with fast growth comes strain on infrastructure such as roads and water/sewer systems, and longer wait times for public services, among others.
What are your thoughts on the current policing within the community and how do you feel safety within the community could be improved if necessary? – Policing in our community is an issue. There is far too much crime happening within our city and its ever increasing. What isn’t is the activity of the police to enforce laws and ensure that our city remains safe, not only for our residents, but for our property. I believe safety could be improved by introducing a funded watch program that employs residents who are committed to enforcing safety in our community.
