MLA: Danielle Chartier - Saskatoon Riversdale

God in Heaven, we pause to remember Danielle Chartier today.  Help her in her role as Opposition critic for Health; Seniors; Women; and Early Learning and Child Care.  These are important ministries within our province and they need a strong advocate to draw attention to problem areas.  We pray that as she serves, that she would experience Your grace, presence and compassion in her life.  Bless her today we ask in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

On September 21, 2009 Danielle Chartier was elected MLA for Saskatoon Riversdale in a by-election resulting from the retirement of former MLA, Lorne Calvert, and was re-elected in 2011.
