PREMIER CALLS SASKATOON NORTHWEST BYELECTION FOR OCTOBER 18

Premier Brad Wall today announced that voters in the constituency of Saskatoon Northwest will go to the polls in a provincial by-election on Monday, October 18.

Wall said he wanted to ensure the people of Saskatoon Northwest had a voice in the Legislature when the fall session starts on October 27.

"Saskatchewan has the lowest unemployment rate in Canada, there are nearly 14,000 more people working than a year ago, and we are once again forecast to lead the country in economic growth," Wall said. "Our government will run on its record of moving Saskatchewan forward through a growing economy that benefits all Saskatchewan people.

"I look forward to a vigorous campaign by all the candidates and parties."
