“I believe Moose Jaw complements Regina and shouldn’t compete with it,” said Moose Jaw’s Margaret Moran on Thursday, adding the Friendly City is a unique community that shouldn’t feel the need to compare itself to other cities.

Shortly after submitting councillor candidate nomination papers to city hall, Moran told the Times-Herald that Moose Jaw is her home and she is running in the upcoming election to make the community she loves even better.

The Wakamow Valley Authority executive assistant said some of her goals, if elected, include increasing the amount of affordable housing, attracting new business to the community and creating economic growth, as well as improving local infrastructure.

The 55-year-old Thunder Creek Rehabilitation Association, Municipal Advisory Committee on the Environment and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board volunteer said (if elected) she would try to make council a place where elected officials collaborate and discuss issues through healthy and respectful debate.

“That’s when true progress happens.”

Although the environment is not her primary purpose for seeking a council seat, Moran said she does care about the environment and believes Moose Jaw needs a city-wide curb-side recycling program.

    How will she make them accountable? Will she sue them too if she doesn't get her way?

    Good luck Margaret, you have my vote. Finally another person who really cares about the city. Margaret will make our high priced, under qualified top officials accountable.

    Maybe we can shake up this city and get rid of some of the same old, same old garbage that has been around here for so long. The smell has everyone in the city complaining.
