The executive director of the Agency Chiefs’ Tribal Council has decided to run in the next provincial election.

 

Ron Blocka says he wants to run under the NDP banner in the riding of Rosthern-Shellbrook because the area needs a strong voice.

 

Blocka has also been employed as both an assistant administrator and construction manager at the Pelican Lake First Nation.

 

He says his long background of service to First Nations is a definite asset.

 

Blocka says, if elected, he will meet with residents twice a year and work to attract a doctor to the region.
