With five board positions up for grabs in subdivision six, we now have five candidates looking for a spot at the big Prairie South School Board table.

Darrell Markin, owner of Cross Canada Flooring, has announced that he would like to help with the decision making process.  He's pleased with the education his kids receive in Prairie South and would like to have a more active role in ensuring they continue to receive top quality education.

"I wanted to become more involved in the inner workings of our school division.  Secondly, I just wanted to ensure that we get the best education for our kids with the dollars that are provided."

Markin now finds himself in the company of Matt Jacobs, Tim McLeod, Corey Atkinson and Lew Young in the race for election in subdivision 6.  Just like with the civic election, nominations forms must be submitted by Wednesday.
