Meet Senator Marty Klyne – SenCA+

September 19, 2024

Before your appointment to the Senate in 2018, you served in senior positions with several organizations, such as the RCMP Heritage Centre, the Regina Pats Hockey Club, and the Regina Leader-Post and Saskatoon StarPhoenix newspapers, to name a few. How have your leadership and business skills helped you navigate the Senate?

Having worked across various industries, and being a lateral thinker, I bring different perspectives that allow me to offer new and unique solutions to problems. This has been very helpful in navigating through myriad legislation proposals in the Senate. My leadership skills got me here and I feel they have been useful in my Red Chamber work. There are four leadership qualities that I subscribe to: establish a reputation for being credible, develop a forward-looking mindset, have positive energy and be competent.

I’ll never forget my first couple days in the Red Chamber when I thought, “I’m far from being the smartest person in the room.” I had to really pick up my game!
