Mayoral candidate ready for new challenge Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express elly Moore has entered the election. The newest mayoral candidate, who declared Monday, may not be a recognizable political name; but she believes she is ready to take on the campaign and the highest chair at city hall. “I think we need a fresh perspective,” she said during a long, wide-ranging interview. “I think we need some new leadership, and a new leadership approach. I think we need someone with the kind of background that I have, with the strong business background, as well as the experience at multiple levels of government. “And, I think that we also need to look at things in a different way. The city has been on a course for some time, and it’s a course that I think is not 100 per cent in the right direction. “With a different perspective, we can start to have, for example, (a) more integrated plan . . . a clear plan for our future that brings the best of what we’ve got and addresses the things that aren’t working well.” Moore, 43, previously held a senior position in the city’s planning department and is presently the director, community and client services in disability programs for the Social Services Ministry as well as a small business owner.

No one in my family had graduated from high school or
university . . . the priority was working and getting a good job and contributing. So I applied, with their help, and I got in.” Moore found she loved the program, and graduated in 1998 with a bachelor of arts in regional and urban development. It led her to an internship with the Town of Martensville, and then a job with the City of Saskatoon. The city hired her, in early Internet days, to put all the programming descriptions up on the Net. They subsequently
offered her a full time job; “it sort of felt like it was destiny, really.” She remained in the planning department, rising through the ranks, for seven years. “I had a lot of successes in that work, and realized there were good ways to engage the people and there were definitely not good ways to engage the people.
