Hon. Brad Wall, Premier of Saskatchewan
Swift Current
Brad Wall was first elected Premier of Saskatchewan in the November 2007 provincial election.
His government was re-elected in the 2011 provincial election with 64 per cent of the popular vote – the highest percentage of any political party in Saskatchewan history.
Premier Wall’s government can point to a remarkable list of achievements, including:
- Tabling five consecutive balanced budgets;
- The largest tax cuts in the history of Saskatchewan;
- Cutting the province's debt by 44 per cent; Saskatchewan receiving a AAA credit rating from Standard & Poor’s, the highest level possible for the first time in the province’s history;
- More support for people with disabilities, those suffering from diabetes and being the first province in Canada to fund clinical trials for the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Liberation Treatment;
- Saskatchewan’s population hitting an all-time high of more than one million people;
- The most aggressive youth retention program in the country to ensure Saskatchewan’s young people stay and work in the province; and
- Record infrastructure spending to improve roads, schools and senior's facilities all across Saskatchewan and providing more affordable housing for those with lower incomes.
Prior to his career in politics, Premier Wall was active in his local business community and was involved in service work spanning local events, economic development and health care recruitment.
One of his earliest forays into politics was in the late 1980's as a founding member and western co-chair of the Alliance for the Future of Young Canadians. This was an organization dedicated to promoting free trade.
Brad Wall was born and raised in Swift Current, which is in Saskatchewan’s southwest. He still lives there with his wife, Tami, as well as two of their three children: Colter and Faith. Their daughter Megan is enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan.
He received his post secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan where he earned an Honours degree in Public Administration.
Since his election in the fall of 2007, Brad Wall has garnered significant positive attention on the provincial and national media scene. In fact, Chantal Hébert from the Toronto Star named Brad Wall Canada’s most underrated politician in 2011 and CTV’s Don Martin named him the 2011 Politician of the Year.
He is the Chair of Planning and Priorities Committee.
