ARBORFIELD— MLA Fred Bradshaw will be nominated Saturday as the Saskatchewan Party candidate in Carrot River Valley for the next provincial election.

“I’ve been honoured and privileged to serve the Carrot River Valley constituency for the past six and a half years,” Bradshaw said. “I see the province moving forward, which is what I envisioned when I first decided to run for office, and I want to ensure that Saskatchewan continues to be the best place in Canada for our children to live, work and play.”

Bradshaw was elected in November 2007 and re-elected in 2011.

n January 2011, Premier Brad Wall appointed Bradshaw as Legislative Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Resources, Heavy Oil and Northern Resource Development.

Bradshaw is excited about the growth that can be seen in his constituency.

“Our government has helped fund the new Hudson Bay School,” Bradshaw said. “This new school will have room for almost 400 students, and will include a child care centre with 36 spaces. This will benefit the children and families in Hudson Bay for years to come.”

Bradshaw believes that the Saskatchewan Party team is moving the province forward.

“I’m proud to be a part of the team of women and men led by Premier Brad Wall,” Bradshaw said. “I am honoured to serve the people of Carrot River Valley and I hope that I will be able to do so again after the next provincial election.”
