Jordan Rosluk is taking another run at earning a seat on Yorkton Council.
Rosluk, who has called Yorkton home for the past 24-years of my 31 years and is a graduate of Yorkton Regional High School was on the ballot four-years ago, (2016), as well.
鈥淎fter the election people encouraged me to run again as they were impressed with my commitment of attending every Council meeting during the year leading up to the election, and they thought my platform was very good but that I needed more life experience,鈥� he stated in a release to Yorkton This Week. 鈥淚 followed their advice and I have since become a first-time homeowner, traveled half of Europe, and met the love of my life in Lviv Ukraine; last November we married in Palanok Castle, Mukachevo Ukraine.鈥�
The European experience is one that has helped Rosluk gain perspective on things in Yorkton.
鈥淢y travels throughout Europe have also helped me to see more of what we are doing well as a city, and where we can also make improvements,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 now have the benefit of being able to see Yorkton from a different perspective, through the eyes of my immigrant wife. With my loving wife Natalia by my side, we are looking forward to beginning our family and contributing more to our community to help Yorkton live up to our motto 鈥榳here good things happen鈥�.鈥�
That said Rosluk said what he was committed to four years ago remain important in his mind in this election鈥�-- a safe community, a healthy business environment, and a fiscally responsible Council.
In the release to YTW Rosluk noted among things he supports are:
路聽 a balanced approach to governance in respects to fiscal and social issues;
路聽 a co-operation between the City and community groups to share the responsibility of building a healthy society;
路聽 resisting another COVID shutdown of our city, and recognizing that places of worship, community service groups, etc. are essential to the health and well-being of our residents especially in these difficult times;
路聽 no property tax increases for 2021;
路聽 a City Council wage reduction, or at the very least a Council wage freeze over the next four years;
路聽 freezing all future non-essential building projects until 2022;
路聽 improving the business environment in Yorkton through reviewing current city practices and consulting with the Chamber of Commerce and other business owners;
路聽 hiring more municipal RCMP officers;
路聽 and applying to Transportation Canada for a 鈥淩equest to Stop Train Whistling鈥� at night.
鈥淚 am asking for your vote to represent your voice in Council, and to contribute to the seven-person team you will help to build when you get out and vote on November 9,鈥� said Rosluk.
