MLA: Paul Merriman - Saskatoon Sutherland


Thank you, Lord, for Paul Merriman and his desire to serve Saskatoon Sutherland with distinction. Thank you for his passion for accountable and responsible government, and the experience which enables him to do this with excellence.  Cause his spiritual walk to be genuine and fruitful. Bless Paul, his wife Leane, and their children with great times of interaction and enjoyment.

Paul Merriman was first elected to the Saskatchewan Legislature in the 2011 provincial election for the Saskatoon Sutherland constituency.

Born and raised in Toronto, Paul moved to Saskatchewan with his family in 1988. His father, Ted Merriman, served as the MLA for Saskatoon Northwest for one term from 2003 to 2007. His father’s involvement in politics piqued his interest in politics.

Paul has lived and worked in Saskatoon since 1994. Recently, he was the executive director of the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre. During his tenure with the food bank, Paul has worked diligently to increase funding and decrease costs. Prior to his employment with the food bank, he was employed with SaskEnergy for eight years setting up a province-wide salvage operation of used material that generated corporate savings for the Crown Corporation in excess of $8 million. He has also operated two small businesses.

Paul and his wife, Leane Durand, a small business owner herself, have four children.
