Marcel Roy has announced he will seek a third term as the mayor of Weyburn in the fall municipal election.

WEYBURN - Weyburn Mayor Marcel Roy announced he will be running for a third term in this fall’s municipal election, in a statement he issued on Tuesday morning.

“Over recent years, Weyburn has made tremendous progress. From upgrading essential roads and water treatment infrastructure to the construction of a new school and hospital, we’ve kept public safety a priority, exercised fiscal responsibility and supported economic stability,” said Roy, pointing out these accomplishments were the result of hard work by residents, policies and a commitment to putting the community first.

“However, we must remain vigilant. While we’ve set a strong course for Weyburn, it’s easy for misguided policies, no matter how well-intentioned, to lead us down a path we’ve seen before,” said Roy. “I have always stood, and will continue to stand, for common-sense, practical solutions that ensure the safety of our community, the strength of our financial health, and support for local businesses and families.”

He stated that municipal governments exist to serve the public, not the other way around, and said, “This election will be a choice between proven leadership with a track record of success or untested ideas and agendas that could jeopardize the progress we’ve made together.”

Roy commented, “I’ve always believed in serving the people, not in playing politics. I remain committed to leading with integrity, ensuring that our city continues to move in the right direction.”

So far, there is one other challenger for the mayor’s chair, as Jeff Richards has declared to be running for the seat.
