It appears that voters in the northwestern constituency of Athabasca will be sending Saskatchewan Party candidate Jim Lemaigre to the provincial legislature.
Preliminary results of Tuesday’s by-election show Lemaigre winning just over 51 per cent of the vote, besting Georgina Jolibois of the NDP with just over 40 per cent of the ballots cast.
Lemaigre is a former RCMP officer who has worked as the program manager for the province’s First Nations and Indigenous Policing Program.
