Cynthia Block

Biography: 

Cynthia Block is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan, and has a background in media and communications.  She has had a life-long interest in public policy, and a strong preference to use evidence and data to drive decision-making.  On Council, her priority issues include basic services, sustainability, indigenous reconciliation and downtown revitalization. 

Cynthia would like City Council to focus on a longer time horizon in decision-making.  Through partnerships with other levels of government, business, industry, community groups, residents and organizations in the surrounding geographical area, we have an opportunity to build a more modern, progressive and sustainable 21st century City.

Cynthia and her husband have made their home in Ward 6 for the past 25 years.  They have two young adults attending the University of Saskatchewan, and they can often be seen on the spectacular Meewasin trail with their shepherd-cross, Belle.
