MOOSOMIN — Incumbent Greg Nosterud sees serving on Moosomin town council as a way to give back to the community that has supported him for many years.
“The biggest reason I got decided to join council was I had a good run here with my business, so I decided now it’s time to pay it back and devote some time to the community in terms of my abilities,” he said.
“I enjoy the people. I feel that anybody can approach me at any time.”
Nosterud has been safety officer with the town, served on the Moosomin Fire Department, served as chair of the Society for the Preservation of the Moosomin Armoury, served on the R.D. McNaughton Hardware Restoration Committee, is past president of the local Kinsman Club, and president of the Pipestone Archeological Group.
“These volunteer hours give me a sense of pride and dediccation toward Moosomin which, I feel, reflects in my passion to advocate for the town and our people. Additionally, being a part of these committees has provided me with many opportunities to work as a team member, experience with communication and conflict management—essential experience that has benefited my role as town councillor.”
When asked about his priorities if he’s elected once more, Nosterud spoke of the community pride that is so abundant in Moosomin.
“I love my town, and it’s easy to see that our town is moving in the right direction—just looking at the large group of candidates running for council, I think that says something in itself,” he said “I’m a father of five kids, and four of them have chosen to stay in Moosomin and work in Moosomin and my grandchildren are here.
“As a family, we have loved seeing the growth and change happening in our community.
“I have become involved with, and advocated for, community projects that have quickly become my own passion projects. These projects are things such as the airport expansion, proposing an addictions treatment centre for community, and advocating for the construction of a Highway #8 bypass. These projects are important to me as they benefit the community’s growth, health promotion and safety.
“It is not enough for a community to simply grow, but thrive. I believe these projects are catered to the needs of our growing population and benefit our community as a whole to allow our town to thrive.”
