Linda Patenaude to represent NDP in Kelvington-Wadena
A long-time resident of the Kelvington area will represent the New Democrats in the Kelvington-Wadena constituency this fall.
Linda Patenaude was chosen to carry the party’s colours in the upcoming provincial election. She currently serves as the Activity Director for the Kelvington Housing Authority, and she and her husband Maurice live and work on their farm just outside of the community.
Patenaude told northeastNOW she has never sought office before due to family and business considerations, but has always been involved in politics.
“I really don’t like the direction our province is going right now, [and] I figured this might be my last chance to jump in and turn it around,” Patenaude said.
