What an NCAA rule change might mean for junior hockey in Sask.

A familiar face is considering a run at the mayor’s chair in Saskatoon.
Rob Norris said Friday he has had a number of people ask him whether he would consider running for the job. He said it’s a serious question that deserves serious consideration and consultation.
“I’m taking that seriously and that consultation and those conversations continue,” Norris said.
He said he has been hearing from people who say they are concerned about a lack of vision of where Saskatoon is going.
“The economy is slowing down in the city,” he said. “And of course, I think importantly, people want to know that elected representatives really appreciate where their tax dollars are going. So I think there’s also a call for some fiscal prudence.”
He said he wants to see a strong, private sector-driven economy that will allow for additional resources to be invested in infrastructure and services in the community.
He said there needs to be a broader conversation on infrastructure.
“As an example, the trains in the city. It’s terrific that we have these trains. They represent jobs and prosperity in Saskatchewan,” Norris said. “But at the same time, we probably need to talk about some better infrastructure to ensure that no communities are being stranded.”
He’s expecting a final decision on whether he will run within the next several weeks, if not a couple of months.
Norris previously served as the minister of advanced education, employment and labour in Brad Wall’s cabinet.
The next civic election is currently scheduled for October of 2020.
