MLA: BUCKLEY BELANGER - ATHABASCA


Dear Lord. We pray for your blessing today on Buckley Belanger. Give him wisdom and compassion. Help him in his opposition role to effectively critique while simultaneously caring for the people in his own riding. Give him a renewed belief and excitement in the work he does, as well as a passion to constantly improve his life for your glory. Amen.

Buckley Belanger was first elected to the Saskatchewan legislature in 1995 and re-elected in 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2011.

Today, Buckley is the NDP’s Deputy Whip, and serves as critic for Highways and Infrastructure, SaskEnergy, SaskWater, and the Water Security Agency. In the past, Buckley has served as minister in various portfolios including Northern Affairs, Environment, Community Resources, and Highways and Transportation.

Prior to entering provincial politics, Buckley served three terms as mayor of Ile-a-la Crosse from 1988 to 1994. He has also worked as a journalist with the aboriginal publication New Breed and a programmer, producer, and administrator with the Missinipi Broadcasting Corporation in La Ronge.
