And then there were five. Another Saskatoon resident has thrown their hat in the Mayoral ring. Mike Harder says on his webpage “The City of Saskatoon cannot afford more of the same; the City of Saskatoon needs fundamental progressive change.”

He says he is against a new downtown sports arena, new downtown library, new bike lanes, property tax increases of more than 3 or 4 per cent and he’s against reducing City of Saskatoon staffing levels to save money.

City Councillor Cynthia Block, former provincial cabinet minister Gord Wyant, former Saskatoon Mayor Don Atchison and Cary Tarasoff are also running for mayor.
