There’s no shortage of candidates who want to take over from departing Prince Albert Grand Council chief Gary Merasty.
The PAGC is scheduled to hold its chief election on October 18th, and six people have announced their intention to run.
They include Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation chief Ron Michel, Shoal Lake chief Marcel Head, former Montreal Lake chief Richie Bird, former PAGC vice chief Elmer Ballantyne, former Lac La Ronge Indian Band councillor Henry McKenzie and current Hatchet Lake education director Rosalie Tsannie.
Merasty announced last month he wouldn’t be seeking another term, amid reports he was thinking of entering federal politics.
