Charlie Clark

Charlie Clark was re-elected Mayor of Saskatoon in 2020 for a second term with a mandate to build a strong economic future where no one is left behind. Charlie’s approach is centered on the belief that partnerships among groups with different perspectives can offer the best solutions to the challenges being faced by cities across the world. He is committed to building a community where people see each other’s strengths instead of differences, where families can thrive, and children are able to see a future for themselves here.

Previous to serving as mayor, Charlie was the Ward 6 City Councilor for ten years. Before elected life, he worked in the areas of mediation and community economic development. 

“I have spent a lot of time discussing the issues of homelessness, addictions, poverty, and intergenerational trauma in comfortable board rooms.  I know that this leaves me removed from the everyday reality of what it is like to actually navigate the streets and systems of our community when facing these challenges.  I am joining Sanctum Survivor to get better educated in what our neighbors are experiencing, even for a short time.  I hope this can help me use the opportunity I have as the Mayor (and neighbour) to help fix the systems that are failing and support a better continuum of care in our community.”
