Saskatoon City Council

Saskatoon City Council is the governing body of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The council consists of the mayor and ten councillors representing wards. The current council sits between 2016 and 2020. The last civic election was held on October 26, 2016. The mayor and councillors were elected to three-year terms until 2012, when the terms were extended to four years.

The mayor-elect of Saskatoon is Charlie Clark, who won the 2016 municipal election with 40.7% of the vote. Prior to being elected mayor, Clark served as a city Councillor for ward 6 for ten years.

Darren Hill is the councillor for Ward 1, which is located in Saskatoon's downtown core. He was born in 1968. He is the CEO of Junior Achievement of Saskatchewan and sits on the board of directors. Hill was first elected in 2006 and re-elected in 2009, 2012 and 2016.

Hill ran as the Liberal candidate in the district of Saskatoon-Humboldt in the 2011 federal election, but finished a distant third behind Conservative incumbent Brad Trost and the New Democratic Party's (NDP) Denise Kouri. During the campaign, hundreds of his election signs and several of Kouri's were taken. Some were discovered in a dumpster at a construction site.

Hilary Gough is the councillor for Ward 2, which is located in the south-west corner of the city. She is the operations manager of Upstream, a health policy and education non-profit organization. In a close contest, she defeated the incumbent, Pat Lorje, longtime Ward 2 councillor and former provincial MLA in the riding of Saskatoon Southeast.

Ann Iwanchuk is the councillor for Ward 3, which is in the far south-west side of the city. She was elected to council in a byelection on October 19, 2011. She finished first in a field of six candidates, which included former Ward 3 councillor Rik Steernberg. Iwanchuk is the wife of former Saskatoon Fairview NDP MLA Andy Iwanchuk, whose constituency lay within the ward. The council seat had been vacated unexpectedly when the sitting councillor, Maurice Neault, died of a heart attack on July 13, 2011 at the age of 59. Iwanchuk was re-elected in 2012 in a very close contest with challenger Mike San Miguel, one of the closest votes in the city's history. She was re-elected in 2016 with a decisive 72.9% share of the vote.
