Local leaders encourage more women to get political
According to North Battleford political leaders, it’s important to involve women in all levels of politics to have a full conversation about various issues.
Only two women are on the 10-person Living Sky School Division school board, board chair Ronna Pethick and trustee Tracie Heintz.
Pethick said it’s necessary to have a mixture of men and women in leadership positions.
“I think it’s vital that women get involved, because they do bring a different perspective and I think it’s fair that both men and women have input into the future and decisions in our school divisions, our cities and towns, and our province,” she said.
