“It is an honour to serve on the FCM Board of Directors with a team of municipal leaders from across the country,” said Mayor Strachan. “I am looking forward to advancing ideas that matter most to Saskatchewan’s communities.”
Mayor Strachan has been serving the community of Torquay for more than 10 years, first elected to Torquay village council in 2009. In 2013, Mayor Strachan was elected to the SUMA Board of Directors as Southeast Regional Director and today he serves as SUMA’s Vice President of Villages, Resort Villages, and Northern Municipalities. It was Mayor Strachan’s desire to see his community and communities across the province thrive that inspired him to run for SUMA and now FCM’s board of directors.
FCM has been the national voice of Canada’s municipal governments since 1901. Members include more than 2,000 municipalities from across the country, representing more than 92 per cent of the population.
The election results were announced at the annual general meeting on June 5. FCM’s annual conference and trade show was held in Regina from June 2 to 5. The conference provided an opportunity for the Village of Torquay to discuss key issues and to advocate for support and funding from the federal government.
