Saskatoon municipal election: Ward 10

Voters in the 2020 Saskatoon civic election have spoken and incumbent Zach Jefferies has won Ward 10.

Ward 10 is in Saskatoon’s northeast and includes some of the newer neighbourhoods in the city.

The ward boundaries have changed due to the review of all city wards by the Municipal Wards Commission with Silverspring, the University Heights development area and the University of Saskatchewan lands — north development area all moving from Ward 10 to Ward 5.

Neighbourhoods in the ward: Arbor Creek, Aspen Ridge, Erindale, Evergreen, University Heights SC, and Willowgrove.

The ward also includes the University of Saskatchewan lands — east management area.

Zach Jeffries has represented the ward since 2012.
