As expected the Green Party has a candidate for Battlefords-Lloydminster in the upcoming federal election.

The party’s website has confirmed Mikaela-Mari Tenkink is their nominee in the riding.

She is a fibre artist and small business owner from Prince Albert, originally from Edmonton, Alta. 

According to the party, Tenkink is married and the mother to a toddler, and has studied at Trinity Western University and Portland State University where she pursued degrees in art history.

“Mikaela’s strong beliefs for social justice and environmental stewardship have led her to get involved with the Green Party of Canada,” the party’s website states.

Tenkink will be a new face for the Green Party at the federal level in Battlefords-Lloydminster, as area farmer Norbert Kratchmer had been the party’s candidate during the last three federal elections.

With her nomination, the Greens now have a full slate of candidates in Saskatchewan. It brings to four the number of nominated candidates in Battlefords-Lloydminster.

The Conservatives are running incumbent Gerry Ritz, the Liberal candidate is Larry Ingram and the NDP nominee is Sandra Arias. The federal election is Oct. 19.
