REGINA — Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe will begin the second week of the provincial election campaign this morning in Regina, while NDP Leader Carla Beck will have an availability east of the capital later today.
Moe’s itinerary for the day lists an announcement at 10 a.m. at the Kiwanis Waterfall Park on the edge of Wascana Creek, where he will be joined by the candidates for Regina Lakeview and Regina Rochdale.
There were no Saskatchewan Party campaign events scheduled yesterday, and Moe wrapped up the first week of the campaign with an appearance in Moose Jaw on Saturday and reiterated his party’s plans to make life more affordable.
NDP Leader Carla Beck was also in Moose Jaw on Saturday, where she appeared with Lorne Calvert, who was premier the last time the NDP held power in Saskatchewan.
Beck’s itinerary says she will have an availability at the RCMP Emerald Park/White Butte Detachment early this afternoon.
The Saskatchewan NDP focused much of its attention over the weekend to criticizing the Saskatchewan Party on its health-care record, with Beck saying Saturday that a hospital in Moose Jaw has seen many days where services were not available.
