After serving two terms as a councillor for the City of Yellowknife, Deputy Mayor Stacie Arden-Smith has announced she is joining the race to be the next MLA for Great Slave.
“I have the courage, the smarts and the compassion to get the Legislative Assembly back to work on what really matters to Northerners,” Arden-Smith says.
Councillor Arden-Smith says she plans to work to strengthen relationships with communities and First Nations, while focusing on entrepreneurship, small businesses, and homelessness concerns.
“When it comes down to it, not enough has really changed in four years,” The councillor says. “Yellowknife hasn’t had a strong advocate in the Legislative Assembly and I know that my experience as a City Councillor will serve me well as an MLA,” she adds.
Should Councillor Arden-Smith be elected in November, the City of Yellowknife will be required to appoint a replacement.
